they are held
The policy states the following as the
need to maintain reserves.
It allows the charity to:
 properly manage its resources.
 plan and formally report its
approach to stakeholders.
 make funding bids, when a high
bank balance can be
convincingly explained to
potential funders.
 match its reserves to its
requirements, otherwise the
charity could be holding
reserves that are too high or
too low for its needs.

Explain to beneficiaries why all
the charity’s resources are not
available to meet their needs.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 The charity determines that the
minimum level of reserves is the

adopted
For the first time in the history of the
Charity we have had to spend
A description of the Para 1.46 significant sums on the direct
principal risks facing the purchase of food. This is due to
charity supermarkets stocking less food
which leads them to giving us less
and to the cost of living crisis which
means that individuals who used to
donate food are no longer able to do
so.
At present we are able to
accommodate this extra expense
with the help of grants but it is a
concern.
