SUDBURY GASWORKS RESTORATION TRUST LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policv During this financial year, the majority of the charity'5 income wa5 tied to specific expenditur9 or outcomes. It was neither pos51ble nor appropriate to set these aside as reserves. A policy on reseThes was developed this financial year lo take account of the future needs and risks of the charity. to be implemented when income can be generated from unrestricted income. The Trust aims to implement the Busine%.5 Plan 50 as to achieve a trading surplus in most years, developing a reserve fund sufficient to sustain the maintenance of this complex herita8e buildin8 and to protect itself against financial fluctuations in the business cycle as well as its liabilities as an employer. Our policy 15 to build reserves through the careful management of commercial activitie5 defined in our business plan together with community fundraising. Policy Sudbury Gasworks Restoration Trust ISGRTI recosni5es ih6t financlal reserves are necessary for 5 different reasons.. A. Contingency B. Cash-flow C. Commitmcnt D, Conservation E. Closure SGRT intends to hold reserves based on identified risks within each of these categories. This Policy describes the dentified risks for each of these Tea50ns Bnd defines the amounts that will be kept. A. Contlngency This 15 unexpected expenditure in the event of an emer8ency. SGRT has a detailed Risk Re8lSter which is re8ularly reviewed and details a variety of risk5 tO8ether with mitl8ètin8 action taken to reduce the likelihood and impact of the occurrence. The most Costly uninsured risks identified surround breakage5 or damage to buildings, grounds or equipment. Reserve amount £1,500 B. Ca5h-flow Income and expenditure does not always occur regularly, or at times which synchronise receipts with payments. So there can be times when there is insufficient money to pay the bills on time even though the necessary funds are due to the charity and will be received eventually. SGRT has a rigorous budget monitoring process including monthly cash-flow projections. There are arrangements in place w¢th our bank to cover short-term cash-flow issues, but we may need time to arrange an interim loan. Reserve amount £5,000 C. Commitment A commitment as an occasional Significant expenditure agreed by the Trustees which cannot be covered by the annual income. SGRT has developed a strong business plan which identilies a range of expenditure to support our charitable activities. There are no current large scale commitments. Reserve amount.. £0 D. Conservation
SUDBURY GASWORKS RESTOKATION TRUST LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW For a variety of reasons charities can find ihemselve5 holdin8 large surplu5 cash funds which the trustee5 cannot spend immediately without compromising their legal responsibilities to ensufe that their charity's resources are used necessarily, reasonably and incidentally in fulfilment of their tharitable objects. Three common rea50n5 are- I, The unexpected receipt of a large don3tion which cannot easily be refijsed or returned to the donor - es.. a lar8e legacy,. 2. Money originally Set aside for A Ipgitimate designated purpose which. for uncxpected reasons, can no longei be pursueLI or completed.. 3. A social media furid-raising campaign which unexpectedly "goes viral" SGR T has no current unexpetted lar8e income. Reserve amount.. £0 E. Closure If SGRT becomes financially unsustainable and ha5 to be wound up a surn needs to be available while all of our obligations are met, and the closure can be completed in good order. Trustees have considered the timescales that are attached to closer action5 such as staff redundancy and withdrawal from contracts and decided that 3 months running costs should be sufficient. Reserve amount.. £15,OlJO What is not recognised as Reserves.. Money which is given to 5UPPOrt a particular sub-set or aspects of a charity's activities are Restricted Funds. Charity law requires that Restricted Funds land any interest or Gift Aid income which they generate) can only be Spent in accordance with the wishes of the donorlsl. For that reason. Restricted Funds must be accounted for separately from other funds in order that the charity can demonstrate convincingly that the money has been used strictly in accordance with the terms under which it was given to the charity. So, where there are restricted funds unspent at the end of the financial year that must be identified and explained so that they do not get mixed up with the charity's Reserve Fund and can be carried forward to the next year. For that rea50n, even though unspent Restricted Funds fund have much in common with Committed Reserves (inasmuch as they are money being held unspent to meet future commitments to the donors) they are not part of the charity's Reserve5. For example.. in order to fulfil the charity's commitments to a particular restricted grant/donation the charity might have to commit some of its own unrestricted funds to support the relevant activities. It is therefore important that the charity has put aside reserve5 to meet those commitments. The current Restricted Funds for SGRT are identified in the Annual Financial Report.
