FINANCIAL REVIEW
Princlpal fundlng sources
By operating as a social buslness, Lunch on the Run generates approximately 70% of its income through providing caterlng
seNlces to the publlc. The needs of the tralnees require high levels of staff support. so further Income is ralsed through

managed accounts.
Reserves polley
The Charity would Ilke to maintain unrestricted funds not committed or invested In tanglble flxed assets, which are the
free reserves of the Charlty at a level whlch equates to between 6 and 12 month5 unrestrirted expendlture. This provides
sufficient funds to cover management and administratlon and sUPPOrt costs. This aim must be evaluated against the
object5 of the Charity and thelr fulfilrnent. At the balance sheet date, the free reserves are £119,000 plus £14,000
