Reserves Policy

The charity reviews the level of funds in reserve which is the amount of unrestricted funds that are between three and four months of recurrent operating expenses for the current financial year. To ensure the financial stability of the charity, the charity accounts will maintain a minimum of two months expenditure in reserve. The trustees will monitor the actual income and expenditure quarterly to ensure adherence to the free reserve policy.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE:

The charity continues to seek to purchase a permanent place of worship. In the past year, the charity was involved in looking for a property to buy which will be used for Sunday meetings and other community and charity related activities. However, the charity hopes to continue to work towards securing its own place to operate from in the future. The charity has already embarked on a fundraising campaign towards its own place of worship. Once the charity finds a place there will be need to raise more funds to sustain some of the charitable activities. Therefore, such a place will be on offered to the public in the community for use at an affordable financial donation. The donation will be considered by the trustees to make sure it is not out of reach for the public that may wish to make use of such facility. The trustees will also make sure that those living below poverty line can benefit from such a facility by making sure it is suitable for such purposes like giving shelter to the homeless, food bank and providing hot food or soup during cold winter days.
