Flnancl81 review
The charity held total reserves of £71,118 (2024: £91,612), of which £8,493 (2024: £15,939) wer¢ held as r￿ed
assets and £NIL (2024: £NIL) were held as Restricted fimds. As a resulL the charity held free reserves of £62,625
(2024: £75,673). Total unrestricted reserves held al the y¢ar end were £71, 118 (2024: £91,612).
While the loss of £20.494 this y¢ar is ODCK more very disappointing compared to 2024 accounts profit of £l1.997, the
results do not reflect the strides and commitment from the staff or the members ofthe charity. It can be seen the loss
is mainly due to unsuccessful grant funding applications. Funding Awards in 2024 were £60,250 compared to 2025
which were £27.4(K), while support through donations dramatically improved by £19.188 with practically no
difference in expenditure
The Trustees continue to monitor reserves against futsw¢ risks and operational needs.

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources
to Continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this re&son. they continue to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing the fmancial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basi5 can be
found in the accounting rK)licies.
