Why we hold some money In reserve
It fjs the PCC'S policy=
That due to the age and con(tition of the building5, 7t should work towards, and then maintain,
a balan￿ on the general unrestricted funds (excluding property) which equates to
approxlmately three months worth of unrestricted payments as contlngency against unforeseen
situations. The cloging balance on unrestrirted funds at the end of 2024 was £53,000 (2023:
£51,000) which achieved this.
To invest temporarily surplus endowment funds wlth the CBF Church of England deposit fund,
retuming proportionately thè5@ funds to our current account, as they are needed to pay day.to-
day bllls. At the end trf 2024 £23,000 12023.. £22,0001 wa5 invested thls way.
To invest legacies re5tric¢ed a5 to their objects, ￿th the Churche5, Charltle5 and Local
