Financial review
Financial position
Incoming resources in the year were £9,884 (2023 £Nil). No incoming resources were related to project restricted activites in either year.
A surplus of £3,523 was made in the year (2023 £Nil) at 31 December 2024 total reserves were £3,523 (2023 £Nil) of which £3,523 represented unrestricted funds (2023 £Nil).
Reserves policy
The trustees have considered the level of unrestricted funds that it is appropriate for the charity to maintain over the coming twelve months. It is not considered necessary to maintain a significant level of reserves, since the charity has no operating lease or loan commitments. The current level of reserves is therefore considered satisfactory.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
