As al 31 December 2024 il held a balance of zero12024.' zero). READING FAMILY CHURCH TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 Rese￿e5 Policy Reading Family Church has three types of funds.. Unrestricted funds which can be used for any purpose and which make up the charity's general reserves. Designated fijnds which have been sel aside by the trustees for a particular purpose and require the trustees, permission lo bè used for any other pkjrpose. This includes Reading Family ChuTch'5 Vision Fund. Reslricled funds that are given for a specific purpose and require the permission of the giver or the Charity Commission lo use them for any other purpose. Only small proportions of Reading Family Church's funds are restricted. The chaflty needs general reserves as a source of working capital and to cover expenditure in the event of an unexpected decrease in income or other ch8nge in circumstances. The tru51ees have defi'ned the minimum level of reserves permissible as 3 months, worth of the charity's operating expendilure. Operating expenditure is defined as all of the charity's essentsal costs, and excludes discretionary spend such as voluntary donations lo third parties. The rationale for this is ID allow Reading Family Church lo continue lo operate for at least 3 months in the extreme scenario that its income reduces materially over a very short period of lime. Al 31st December 2025 the charity's general reserves were £1,060,572 12024.. £742,435}. This represented approximately 12 months, of operating expenditure. The lacl that this is higher than our minimum level represenls the generosity of the church rnembers throughout the year, as well as the prudent saving over the last 5 years to support the higher operating costs and irNmediale maintenance required in order to support the newly purehased building. 11 is envisaged that much of these reserves will be spent in the re-development of the building which was purchased in Odober 2024. The reserves poliw is reviewed on an annual basis by the directors, and the level of reserves held is reviewed monthly as part of management reporting. Investment Pollcy Reading Family Church has a duty lo protect rts inveslmenls, while balaneing the rale of return that these investments produce. Currently the charity's assets are predominately held in land and building. Of the cash being held, the majority is for general use or in a designated fund. fhese funds may be needed al rel8tSvely short notice (3-6 months). The following uileria apply lo the management of these funds.. Any investment Shall minimise the risk of loss of eapitsl. 11 shall be possible lo acces8 the investment of general reserves with a maximum of four months, Th)lice and longer-lerni designated funds with a maximum of six months, notice. The rale of return shall be as high as possible, but is secondary to the 2 criteria above. Any risk assoelaled with holding reserves in deposit accounts sh811 be minimised. The likelihood of financial institutions failing is low, however the potential impact of such as failure on Reading Family Church could be substantial, and this risk shall be mitigated as much as possible. On this basis, Reading Family Church shall.. Only invest in cash deposit a¢counls that are covered by the FSCS. Spiead the level of investment over 8 number of accounts. The number of accounts should bè reviethed by the trustees periodically and reflect the relative stability of the financial inslilulions. Only invest in deposit accounts with a notice period of up lo six months (more if any penalties fcr early Ihdffiwals do not impact the ￿pital invesledl. Select cash deposit accounts with a high rate of return wherever possible. READING FAMILY CHURCH TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORTI {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 Risk Policies The Iruslees have a risk management strategy that includes an annual review ol the principle risks and uncerlainlies lacing the charrty and rts subsidiaries and the establishment of policie5 and pro¢edures lo miligste those risks. The primary risks and uncertainties were again safeguarding and health and safety.
