Investment policy and performance
The trustees choose to retain all sury)lus funds in liquid forni as cash at bank and to not make
any longer-tenn investments to facilitate the easy transfer of nceded funds to Bob)ota.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees recognise the need to establish and maintain a level of reserves that enables
financial stability, that meets the requirements of working capital and cushions against
fluctuations of income levels and in the financial perforn)ance of the Trust. At 31. December
2024, the reserves of the charity amounted to £12,820 {2023 £47845), although this reserve
includes specific grants awaiting allocation. The charity was unable to maintain the same
reserve levels of 2023 due to the increased pressure to provide for the needs of the Children's
Vision population, and the building purchase and remodeling. The trustees hope that some
amount of reserves can be recovered in 2025. The trustees have no uncertainties in regard to
the charity not continuing as a going concern.

Related Parties
