The Trustees have a policy of charging a fee sufficient to cover the costs of the event. Any surplus is held towards future events.
During the current year there was an excess of receipts over payments of £2,421 (2023: Excess of receipts over payments £4,824).
The event is now firmly re-established in its standard in-person format. The 2024 event represented the third year of business as usual following the online event held during the pandemic.
The event was well attended and continued to receive received excellent feedback from participants. The number of new participants has been encouraging.
The trustees have considered a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the accounts and consider the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and therefore continue to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
## **4. Reserves Policy**
The trustees have a policy of ensuring that sufficient funds are available to meet the expenditure required in order to host the event in any given year, and annual overheads, and retaining a surplus towards hosting the event in following years.
