Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy
on reserves
The Trustees have set a reserves policy to take effect at the next financial
year which requires: - -Reserves are maintained at a level which ensures
that 6 months of organisation's core activity could continue during a period
of unforeseen difficulty for the current year this is estimated to equate to
£20,000. - A proportion of reserves are maintained in are readily realisable
form. A decision has been taken to develop a designated reserve of
£20,000. For ensuring that the running costs of the organisation are met.
The trustees consider that for a small charity Iike SGA Community
Services Ltd this reserve is currently at a reasonable Level.

However, as the charity grows, the trustees have also resolved that the reserve level should be increased to £20,800 for the 2025-2026 financial year in order to cover the risks associated with increased running costs of future community education, training projects and development and promotion of social enterprise ventures.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosure in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
