FREE RESERVES Wtsre DOWN SYNDROME TRAINING & SUPPORT SERVICE LTD lo Close the organisalion would incur a number of winding up costs. An approximale cost of closure wll be reviewed annually and made available to the directors. These costs would be covered within Ihe free reserves amount. There are also 8 number of events that could occur during a year that are generally not budgeted for and would be typically funded from reserves, operating with a year IradiThJ in reserves ensures the charty can comply with all legal and ethical commitments. It is assumed that most capital purchases wll be funded from specific grants for c8pitsI purchases. In addition, we have free r8serv8S to.. 1. Meet contractual liabilities should the organisalion have to close. This includes redundancy pay, amounts due lo creditors and commitments under leases. 2.

To replace 9quipmonl as il wgars out. We rely on funder5, fundraising and our members for funds to continue our services. The lead time from applying for funding to receiving funds is a minimum of 6 months and can be up to 12 months. To reduce the impact on services and staffing, the Board have agreed that il would be prudent to retsin free reserves totalling between 9 and 12 months of running costs. This sets the limit for 2024125 based on budgeted expenditure of £14.590 each month to a lower limit of approximately £131,000 and an upper limit of £175,000. In the evenl ol reserves ¢Jipping below the lower limit, we wll aim lo restore the reserves by al least 25% each year meaning that over a four year period this was restored lo lull level. This could be achieved by increased furKI raising, increasing eamed income or reducing exp8nditure. Actual free reserves as al May 2024 were £81,603. Our free reserves were therefore just below 6 months of budgeted running costs, and the trusiees will endeavour to seek further funding to increase free reserves accordingly. As at May 2024 we had £64.206 in reslricied funding.
