| Reserves policy | |||||||||||||||
| The Trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves |
in the light of | the | main risks | to | its operation. | We | |||||||||
| have | reviewed our reserves policy and established that unrestricted |
funds | not | committed | or | invested should |
be | ||||||||
| equivalent to F70,000 to allow the charity to continue to operate in |
the | event | of | an unexpected | drop | in | funding. | Our | |||||||
| reserves policy will continue to be kept under dose review in 2022/23. |
|||||||||||||||
| Like many small charities, we continue to work towards achieving a sustainable |
financial | model | that | includes a | variety of | ||||||||||
| short- | and medium-term funding from diverse sources, as well as |
core funding. | As | at the | balance | sheet | date | the | |||||||
