Section E Financial review ¥_:, St Johns Pre-school playgroup is currently dependent on LEA fvnding to sustain its activities, as eamed income from fees alone would not allow St Johns Pre-school Playgroup to continue operating. To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the Committee board had agreed to keep to a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of 6 months. This includes redundancy pay and staff wages at an amount of £38000. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Reserves are also kept to comply with staff training as part of statutory guidan as part of the EYFS framework. Finally, reserves are also held in case something happened to the church and altemative accommodation had to be found. The committee are aware that it is important funds are spent as and when required and that the emphasis is not solely on maintaining reserves.
