The charity's poll¢y is to hold reserves of approx. £5k which covers 1 year of ongoing costs such as insurance as well as enough money to plan and carry out events for the first half of the year. If the charity is raising funds for a specific project there may be additional reserves held at the year end while the total funds are raised. The reserves retained are all unrestricted funds. At the year end there was £15.7k held- of which £8.5k was spent in the first 2 months of the subse uent ear.
