Where possible members are encouraged to make offerings by standing order. At the end of the financial year the charity has approximately S?/2 months of reserves which is above the set ob ective. We aim to hold in reserve sufficient money in our general fvnds to cover 2 10 3 months expenditure. The reason for this is knfold". (i) Expenditure is held in reserve as working capital to cover nomal running costs and to meet emergency calls on cash., and lill Certain costs, including our assessment, are paid in advance- money is therefore spent in advance of being raised. To cover this, the church needs further funds in reserve. At 31 st August 2022 our restricted funds stood at £39,407 with £44,449 as general funds. At 31st August our general funds represented 5/2 months of expenditure. Our restricted funds of £39,407 are held for the employment of a familieslyouth worker.
