Section D                      Achievements and performance **Summary of the main** Before 2020 the charity had taken the primary responsibility for raising **achievements of the charity** the considerable sums needed to restore the ceiling plaster and the bell **during the year** fittings and to accomplish other items of repair and restoration.  Over £30,000 was raised, and the works were all completed during 2019. Since 2020, with the constraints of the Coronavirus pandemic, the charity has not been able to undertake any major fund-raising or expenditure, but it has been fortunate that income has broadly kept pace with expenditure. 

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

|**Brief statement of the**<br>**charity’s policy on reserves**<br>**Details of any funds materially**<br>**in deficit**<br>**Further financial review details**<br>You**may choose**to include<br>additional information, where<br>relevant about:<br>•<br>the charity’s principal<br>sources of funds (including<br>any fundraising);<br>•<br>how expenditure has<br>supported the key objectives<br>of the charity;<br>•<br>investment policy and<br>objectives including any<br>ethical investment policy<br>adopted.|The trustees aim generally to hold reserves of around £10,000 – not<br>normally lower than £7,500, not normally higher than £12,500.  If it is<br>unavoidable to allow reserves to fall temporarily below £7,500, in order to<br>undertake essential urgent expenditure, the aim then is to build them up<br>again to the minimum level as soon as practical.  Reserves may be<br>permitted to exceed £12,500 if funds are being generated to carry out a<br>particular project, but when that project has been completed the reserves<br>should be returned to normal levels.<br>The reserves are required (a) to help meet any emergency expenditure<br>that might arise, and (b) to be able, when applying for grants, to<br>demonstrate to potential grant funders that in a responsible manner the<br>charity has already raised part of the funding required.<br>The trustees are particularly aware that St Swithun’s Church itself is not<br>presently in a position to hold any reserves (indeed the church has been<br>running a deficit) and so the need for The Friends to maintain a prudent<br>level of reserves is additionally important.|
