## 



|Briefstatement <br>charity*s policy|ofthe<br> on reserves|General Reserve —The purpose ofthe organisation<br>isto provide pre-<br>school learning to children.<br>Funding comes from the Local Authority<br>in<br>the form ofa Nursery<br>Education Grant and also from fees from non-|
|---|---|---|
|||funded attendees. Changes<br>in government<br>pohcy can significantly<br>influence the levels offees and grants that the preschool receives. The|
|||primary expense incurred<br>by the Organisation<br>is staff salaries.|
|||The level of NEG grant and fees income can vary depending<br>on the<br>number ofattendees<br>in any term, but a reduction<br>in attendees does not|
|||necessarily<br>result in an equivalent<br>reduction<br>is staffing or other costs.|
|||As a result, the Trustees feel it is prudent to maintain a general reserve<br>so as to secure the continued<br>operation ofthe organisation<br>should there<br>be a material<br>reduction<br>in fees, orother unforeseen<br>expenditure<br>in future<br>periods. The Pre-School holds a minimum<br>of3months<br>full running costs<br>and redundancy<br>entitlement<br>in general reserve.|
