IrERNATIONAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE & ADDICTION COALITION DIREcfoRS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 RESERVES The charity needs reserves to ensure it can fulfil and complete its charitable obligations and the commitments it enters Into. The Trustees are conscious that the income stream will fluctuate as the charity is reliant on donations. It has therefore been the a5m to maintain the free reseNes between £5,000 and £10,000. At the end of the charity's financial period the level of unrestricted funds stood at £3,990 {2023- £6,681) whi¢h was below the level the Trustees had set.
