REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Reserves policy Fund raising continued to be challenging, however the Trustees are pleased that the level of donalons received has been in line with that of the previous year_ It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use 5houkl be maintsin￿j at a level equivalent to belween three and six month's expenditure. The Trustee5 consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a stgnificant drop in funding. they will be able to continue the Ch8rity'5 current activities while consideration is given to W8ys in which addition81 funds may be raised. At 31 March 2024 un￿s1￿Cled reserves {excluding designated funds) totalled £648k. Vvhilst this is above the stated policy. the Ttustees believe this to be ptudent as the need for fvrther significant investment in facilities improvements has been identified in the coming year. wthin unrestricted fijnds, the Trustees have already set aside £25,780 from ￿rtain donations it re￿IVed in the year to fund specific maintenance and 51te improvements projects. This has been reported as a designated fund within unrestricted funds. Majorrisks The Trustees have a55e55ed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and ar8 satlsfied that systsms are in pla￿ to mitigate exposure to the major risks. Structurei governance and rnanagement Governlng documont The Charity was incorporated as a limited company on 31 July 2001 and achieved charitable stalus on 10 Décémber 2002. It is governed by its Company Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended by Special Résolution on 15 November 2002. The Charity changed its name on 23 August 2013 from the Walton Lea Project to th8 Walton Léa Partnership Limited.

REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Reserves policy The Charity's rese￿e3 policy seeks to predominantly balance three factors: Ensurin9 re50uros are expended in a timely manner to maximise the benefit to the Charity's leamers. Maintaining liquid reserves to ensure the Charity is sufficièntly resilient in the event of any unexpécted interruptions in income or urgent requirements for maintenance 8xpenditure,' and Building sufficient resources to implement new educational d8v8lopment initiatives. In asse$$ing the level of Yree reserves, held. tangible fixed assets used to carry out the Charity's activltss are excluded, as these are fijnds that ar8 not readily available for spending. Infomied by an appraisal of funding risk, the Board ofTrusts8s consider that the minimum free reserves held should be equal to three month's expenditure. At 31 March 2024 the Charity had fund8 totalling £764k of which £674k represents frea reserves. At this level th8 Board of Trustees assess that, in the forthcoming year. they would be able to scale activities of the Charity should there be a significant shift in the future basis of funding. Organisational structure Invesbnent policy The Board of Trustees does not invest other than in cash on bank deposit and believes this policy is appropriate for the Charity. Fixod a88ets Movements in fixed assets are shown in the notes to the financial ststements.
