Expenditure in relation to Spear was £167,725 (2023.. £171,739). Reserves policy Reserves JCT engages In several dlstinct charltable 8Ctivltie8. Contributions to JCT are typically dlrècted to one of these adivities, and since their use is restri￿ed they are nol reserves. Much of JCT'S income to support these activilles comes from one-off grants and large fundraising events, rather Ihan regular donations. It is therefore irregular In tlmlng and size. For this reason, it aims to have assets that, 10gelher wilh future regular contributions and other committed sums, would be sufficient lo cover at least the next 6 months of e8Gh of it5 actlvities. JCT makes use of St Mark's Church premlses. It therefore has a Ilmited exposure to the costs of repair and upkeep of its facllities. In the year ended 31 March 2024, these costs totalled £41,00012023'. £33,000). JCT expects that any new charltable iniliatlve would be funded through addltional fundraising activity. It therefore does not hold reserves to cover the c051s of such expansion. Given these facts, and the pollcy of pre-fijnding specific activities it sees limited need for substantial additional reserves. Nevertheless, to meet contingencies such as mlnor repair costs throughout the year or a delay in the receipt of a promised sOu￿e of income, it aims to hold a sum equlvalent to at least one month of its total regular outgoings as a general reserve. Assets not immediately required would normally be held on deposit. As at 31 March 2024, JCT held restricled funds sufficient to cover less than one month of regular outgoings for Spear. and less than five months of regular outgolng5 for Foodbank.. it held unrestricted funds sufficient to cover five months of total regular outgoings. These figures Ignore future income. 11 plans to continue fund raising. Total unrestricted reserves at the end of the year were £229,908. Major risks The Trustee5 have assessed the major risk5 to which the charity is exposed, and are 5alisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to Ihe major risks.
