## **Section E Financial review**
The reserves are set at £1,000. **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** It is based on being able to continue operating for 3 months in terms of running the café and having enough funds for a major fundraising event. Any funds raised from these activities should be firstly used to maintain the reserves and following the replenishment of reserves additional surpluses may be used for good causes or used in order to pay for the renovations that have been planned. It is expected that as we grow the reserves should be increased in order to include ongoing renovation & equipment cost, in line with our three year business plan and also costs for good causes **Details of any funds materially** None **in deficit**
