“The Trustees regularly check the Balance Sheet value and consider the implications of grants that are funded each year. The net result for 2024-25 was significantly lower than in previous years, but careful consideration of our reserves allowed us to award a similar level of grants as in previous years, proving that the reserves policy was robust. The balance sheet shows reserves of £3,067,872 (2024: £4,178,272) and the Trustees are confident that we will be able to meet our commitments and consider the charity to be a going concern.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
