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
organisation
had free reserves ofF67,610(2021:f143,154).
