(2) At the end of 2024 the Group had circa £17,500 of<br>unrestricted reserves. (3) £7,000 higher than our reserves policy. (4)<br>This is due to underspend against budget during 2024, specifically<br>relating to not having the time available to progress with the<br>accessibility improvements to the front of the building and the<br>refurbishment of the Egglestone Room. This hasn't been budgeted<br>for in 2025 but will be made available should the time become<br>available to proceed with the projects.|
