Report of the Trustees for the 12 Months ending 31 March 2023

RESERVE POLICY

The church trustees review the level of funds in reserve which is the amount of unrestricted funds not supporting tangible assets to be equal to about 2 months of total budgeted expenditure. These reserves cover unknown future costs and allow any fluctuations in donations not to impact on the work of the charity or expose the charity to any financial risk. As of 31[st] March 2023, the free reserves were £85,778 because of modest expenditure and the board plans to designate the excess reserves towards the purchase of church building. This amount is contentiously being reviewed to ensure it meets current and future risks.

Disclosure of Information to Independent Examiner

So far as each trustee is aware at the time this report is approved, there is no relevant information of which the charity's independent examiners are unaware. Each trustee has taken all steps they ought to have taken to make them aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity's independent examiners are aware of that information.
