EASE Trustees report for the year ended 315t March 2023. The main expenditure of the organisation was spent on project costs for providing services of the grants and contracts. These services and activities are summarised in the report and identified in Note 4 to the accounts.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees’ review the reserves policy of the charity on a regular basis. At the end of the financial year the unrestricted reserves totaled £196,526 and restricted reserves totaled £108,088. Funds have been designated from unrestricted reserves to the sum of £44,668 to ensure EASE’s continued and enhanced need to support wellbeing for the lives of its beneficiaries. This sum is made up of £26,668 for services to support the community and £18,000 to employ a new role to support the Managing Directors delivery of E.A.S.E’s strategy. Therefore, this leaves unrestricted reserves of £152,433. EASE’s policy is to maintain free reserves that at any time cover its operating expenses for at least six months. “Free Reserves” are defined as unrestricted funds. In the forthcoming year we are planning to expand on our services. The projected annual expenditure for 2023-2024 is £320,626. The current level of reserves is 6 months of expenditure, which the Trustees consider appropriate given the current inflationary pressure in the economy, and the potential impact of the cost-of-living crisis on staff and beneficiaries. This will continue to be reviewed at each Board of Trustee meeting and not just on an annual basis.
