The flats are held as investment properties within the existing expendable endowmentfvnd and were ree1as5iPi￿ in 2019 a5 current ossels in the knlance sheet as the intention was to sell them. Due to an unsuccessful sale and the challengins economic situation the decision was rmde to take the flats offthe market, and in Decernber 22 the flats were reclassiPied as fixed assels. Our overall performance across neady all metrics saw increases in income acros5 all our income streams. We were able to provide more grant funding to MENA achieving our targets for the year. Free reserves remain within our target range. No Restricted Fund5 were held by the charity at 31 December 2023. RESERVES POLICY At 31 December 2023 the Free Reserves stood at £160,083 (2022 £209,807). This rep￿Sented 2.35 months of expenditure on Plann￿ working requiremen15 in 2024 which is within the ran9e of the charity's reserve5 policy and considered by the truslees to be satisfactory. then ca￿￿n5 out periodic reviews of the reserves ￿ld, the truslees take into account that, given the purpose of the Expendable Endowment and Designa funds, these fvnds could be drawn upon in the event of deterioration in the free reserves position. The trustees have es￿bliShed a policy whereby unrestrided funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the "free reserves.) held by the chority should be sufficient atthe end of any calendar month io meet the planned working requirements of the charity for IF next hvo k) four months. In 2024 the planned working reqviremenls are budgeted io be on average £73,756 per month. The trustees are of opinion that this level is adequate to ensu that the trust continues at a sustainable level. GOING CONCERN The trustees do not have any material uncertainties surrounding the charity continuing as a going concern, so th8 trustees do not consider that il is necessary to refled wiihin the level of reserves any estimate of the osts of c105ure.
