The boord recognise5 the need to grow endowment levels to a criticol moss to provide o sustolnable source of f uture income. which Is one not offected by new contracts and funding cycles. An endowment f und value of £7.8rn would be enough lo cover our running costs ot current levels, ond the current endowment fund toial is just short of this. The board olso recognises thot ther? is a need lo ensure that, should income levels not be sufficient to cover running costs, there Is o plan in ploce lo en5vre our continued operotion In the short-term. to allow vs a chonce to recover ond grow. To address this concern. we hove developed the following reserves policy.

In additlon to these reserve5. we hove estoblished our own endowment fund. which is set up to cover development costs which moy not be covered by ordinory income. For the pvrposes of this policy the board hove Sel o level of £270.000 to be held in unrestricted reserves. whlch will be the equivolent of 9 months. rijnning costs ol current leve15. The reserves policy stotes 9 months. with o toleronce of 3 months either woy. meaning reserves held will be the eqvivolent of between 6- and 12-monlhs running costs.
