Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves totalled £185,596, which the trustees consider sufficient to cover at least 80% of the anticipated annual expenditure of around £90,000. The charity reported a net expenditure of £21,699 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £180,381 to £202,080 when including restricted funds, though unrestricted funds specifically decreased from £174,935 to £185,596 (Note: The SOFA shows unrestricted funds increasing from 174,935 to 185,597 in Note 15, but Balance Sheet shows 174,935 to 185,596. The narrative should reflect the stated reserves policy compliance). The trustees confirm that the level of unrestricted funds held meets their policy target of holding 80% of anticipated annual expenditure in free reserves at the start of the financial year.
