Reserves Policy
The Iruslees continue lo review the development of the reserves in vlew of the main risks lo the
organisalion. The established policy states that unrestricted funds not committed should be equivalent

unr8Strictgd free reserves at 31st Marth 2025 are £49,630 {2024 £16.7511.
Principal risks and un¢ertaintie$
The biggest risk to the organisalion is the continued challenglng finandal landscape in which we are
operating. The stand-still funding from Arts Council England. reduced funding from Youth Music. rising
gngrgy costs and the costvof4iving crisis all present major challenges for More Music.
We will continue lo review our organisalional structure. lo ensure efficiency, whilst not impactlng on
the quality of our delivery. Alongside this, we will continue to develop relationships and partnerships
with local and national funders and partner organisations lo most effectively attract grants and
partnership funding.
The More Music building is a former Edwardian Music Hall and is in constant need of repair. this is
particular risk al the current lime. as the gable end wall is not watertight and needs urgent rep81f.
Funding has been secured for this, and work is scheduled to take place during 2025-26.
Our reserves position is growing. and we remain committed to slrenglhening this position, to
safeguard the charity in this challenging financial landscape.
