achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to

beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 During the period of this report
the charity was affected by the two
month lockdown of all facilities in India
and the subsequent restrictions
imposed on all educational
establishments.
The centre continued the education in
Braille and other social functions for
students via online means where
possible.
The centre is located in Bangalore and
students are drawn from all over India.

Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves

the annual income arising from
donations and collections. This will
ensure that there will be some funds
available should there be an unexpected
or unforeseen expense which
Bartimaeus is unable to meet itself. The
figure of 10% has been linked to annual
income to reflect any movements in that
annual income and to ensure that as
much money as possible is made
available to support the Resource
Centre each year.
