Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves of £44,379.56 are considered sufficient to meet scheduled and unscheduled capital expenditure and accommodate unexpected falls in income. The trustees note that the building is 67 years old and that unexpected maintenance problems are increasingly likely, requiring future capital provision.
