## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **Reserves policy.** 

The policy on reserves is: 

· To maintain a level of approximately £8,000 as working capital to enable the group to deliver its activities in the context of commitments to session teachers and room hirers, and 

· To increase the undesignated funds to a similar level using receipts from sessions and other sources to bridge periods when new grants and donations are being sought, to fund the continuation of activities in the meantime. The unrestricted reserve at 31st March 2025 was £12,051 

The movement on all reserves is shown in the notes to these accounts. 

## **Trustees’ responsibility for the financial statements.** 

Charity law requires trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which show the state of affairs of the charity and the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

· make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable the trustees to prepare financial statements. The trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees have declared that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
