Para 1.22 G8neral Reserve- The purpose of the organisation is to provide preschool learning to chlldren. Funding comes from the Local Authority in the fomi of the Early Years Slngle Funding Fomiula Grant and fees from non-funded attendees. Changes in Government Policy can significantly influence the level of fees and grants the preschool receives. The primary expense incurred by the organisation is stsff salaries. The level of EYSFF and fees income can vary according to the number of attendees in any one term, but a reduction in attendees does not necessarily result in an equivalent reduction in staffing or other costs. Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 As a result of the above, the trustees feel it is prudent to maintain a general reserve to secure the continued operation of the organisation should there be a materlal reduction in fees, or other unforeseen expenditure in future periods.
