Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain the general unrestricted funds at a level to provide sufficient reserves to meet the future anticipated demands on the charities resources.
Having regard to the likely levels of incoming resources and direct charitable expenditure, the Trustees are satisfied that the funds held at 31[st] May 2022 as reflected in the balance sheet are available and adequate for the Trustees to fulfil the obligations of the Charity and maintain its operations. Freely available funds held at 31[st] May 2022 were £54,954.
Details of any funds materially in deficit
Not Applicable
Further financial review details (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
-
the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
-
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
-
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
The project will continue to raise funds and will conduct a review of best practises for this. Advice and guidance has been sought from other similar projects, regarding large scale fundraising. Small events and merchandise will continue to play a part, but in a lesser role. Whereas specific fundraising targeted towards HNW individuals, companies, or those with familial links to the Typhoon will be explored.
Due to the pandemic, 2020/21 and the current Cost of Living crisis, the above advice and guidance has been sought, by the trustees, to allow the project to continue to raise the funds required. Early indications are that the refocus of activities, although yet to fully bed in, has been successful.
The Trustees will continue to authorise investment in any activities that will promote the charity’s objectives and increase the public awareness of the aircraft, crews and project whilst adhering to our reserves policy.
