The purpose of this Reserve Fund Policy is to ensure the stability of the operations, programmes, employment of

the year end are £50,892 (2022.. £46,826). Free reserves are used lo cover the Emergency and Operating
Reserve Funds slated below.
Emer
Reserve Funds
These are intended for use in case of 8 sudden, unforeseen or calaslrophic interruption of the Trust's funding
streams. Examples Could include donoTS Can￿lling projects before the intended completion date, or the Trust
failing to secure sufficient funding to continue operations, OT a Force Majeure.
enc
The Emergency Reserve Funds are intended to be used lo meet the Trust's fixed obligations (such as staff
Costs and office rental) whilst a solution is found, or the Trust is wound up. This is currently calculated on the
basis of three months of fixed costs. This will be adjusted in future years lo also include any obligations for staff
redundancy payments.
Authority to utilise the Emergency Reserve Fund will rest wf(h the Board of Trustees. The Emergency Reserve
Fund is currently sel at a target of £33,000.
eralin
Reserve Funds
These are intended lo be used in case of a need to assist with the Trust's cash flow. For example, where project
activities are paid in arrears and hence there is a 18g between incurring the expenses and receiving
reimbursement from the donor. They are also lo be used in case of unforeseen one-off expenses necessary for
the functioning of the Trust le.g. repla¢ement of a broken computer).
The intention is that any Operating Reserve Funds will be reimbursed as soon as practical. For example, when
project payments have been received, or by searching for funding opportunities lo reimburse unforeseen
expenses. The levèl of Operating Reserve Funds needed is difficult lo preclict with certainly. Hence, the
threshold has beenlset al a reasonable level in relation lo the Trust's current financial posrtion. Authority to
ulilise the Operating Reserve Funds will rest with the Board of Trustees.
The Operating Reserve Fund is currently set al a target of £25,000.
Unrestricted Reserve Funds
These are funds that are not assigned lo a spe¢ffic project or activity. They are intended to be used to directly
support the Gharilable objectives of the Trust. For example. to support strategic activities important lo the
development of the Trust and where external restricted funds cannot be secured. The intention is that these
funds will be ulilised promptly Iwilhin 1 yearl after being designatedl received as UnreslTlCted ReseNe Funds.
Up to a limit of £10,000, aLJlhorily lo utilise Unrestricted Reserve Funds will rest with the Trust Manager. Above
£10,DOO, approval from the Board of Trustees will be necessary.
