The accounts state that unrestricted funds amounted to £4,507,084, which the trustees consider adequate and above their policy target of six months' unrestricted expenditure. The charity reported a net decrease in funds of £37,047 for the year, driven by charitable expenditure exceeding incoming resources, although this was offset by significant investment gains and a property revaluation.
