Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the As at 31 August 2025, Greenways had £18,867 in the main (current) charity’s policy on reserves account and £55,244 in the reserves account. The main financial risks to Greenways are loss of funding from the Local Authority and increasing employment costs. The reserves account carries the greater sum as this accounts gathers greater interest.

The amount maintained in the reserves account is revisited regularly (as staff become eligible for redundancy for example) and is designed to cover redundancy payments in the event of closure.
