LONDON GYPSIES AND TRAVELLERS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves pollcy As a charity Ihcrc is a duty to spend our Tesources on our charitable purposes. but we ajso need a level of reserves to en8ur¢ that w¢ ¢an fulfil our seryicc delivery and our legal and good managemenl obligatioDS, should we have funding difficulties. As suclL Te8erve8 are maintsined at a level that would enable th¢ charity lo manage its on-going Service delivery in the light of changing funding scenarAOS. The trt￿tee8 ther¢fore aim to monitor fluctuations in income and ¢xpenditure to ensure that the charity not only meets its present obligations but can also Teasonably cope with these unforeseen circumstances. The primary use of the charitys re8erve8 18 lo deliver the programme of S￿pOrt to the Gypsies and Travellers of London in accordan¢e with th¢ objectives set out when funding wa8 granted. As such, all the reserves are alr¢ady committed to th¢ work programme of the financial years in question. The charity ha8 no material liabilities Breater than one year, such a8 leasehold properties or hir¢ pwch&se vehicles; therefore, in the ¢v¢ntuality of a drop in funding, expenditur¢ can be reduced to reflect the lower income level. The trust¢¢$ have a policy to ensure that the minimum level of reserves will be not Jess than the total winding up costs of th¢ charity. The trustees, with the help of management. will keep the reserves policy under r¢vi¢w to ensure that the right balance is maintained. Furtherniore. in keeping with the best prncticc guidance issued by the Charity Commission. going forward the trustees will continue to Tevi¢w the reseThes po]icy. annually. at th¢ same lime that the annual budgeting and strat¢gi¢ planning for the year is carried out, reco￿18]ng that Strategic and financial planning inforn)s the developm¢nt of reserves policies and vice veT8a. There are 3 categories of reserves: Designated reserves, Unrestricted reserv¢8 & Restricted reserves. Deslgnatsd Reservej are those reserves Set aside at a level agreed annually by the tru8tee8. to ensure thal if it became necessary to wind up the operations of the charity. there are alw&y8 sufficienl funds available to meet the liabilities of the charity toward8 its staff and any on*oin8 contracts. The level of deSI￿ated re8erv¢s represents the minimum l¢v¢l of reser￿8 ne¢essArily held at any moment in tim¢. Unreitrl¢ted Re8erve8 are those r¢s¢rv¢s, accumulated ov¢r time, for which the donor has not stipulated that funds should be used for the delivery of a particular project or area of work. Wher¢ budgets identify peaks and trougbs iti ￿sh flow, the level of th¢ reserves is adjusted to ensuT¢ the ￿ntInUanCe of the charity as a going concern. Re8trl¢ted Re￿rVe# are those reserves accumulated over titr¢, for which the donor has stipulated the pU￿oSe for which the funds were 8rant¢d. Where budgets identify peaks and troughs in cash flow, the level of the Teserve8 is fAljusted accordingly to ensure the continuance of the charity as a going concern. Colng concern After reviewing LGT'8 forecasts and projection8, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that ther¢ are adequate resources to deliver the Currenl work streanL LGT therefore continues to adopt the going wncern basi8 in preparing its fllwicial slatements. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
