Financial review
In the year ended 30 June 2024 the CIO had a surplus of £4,291 12023." £3,908) incoming resources over
resources expended. Totsl voluntary income re￿iVed this period was £21,23512023'. £37,073).

are subject to specific conditions required by the donor and are applied as soon as pradical.
Reserves policy
The CIO does not have a Reserves Policy. It owns no assets as such nor has any long term financial
commitments or excessive expenditure, such as a mortgage etc. and so trustees do not believe that a reserves
policy is ne￿Ssary.
Should this change, the CIO wll adopt a reserve policy where unrestricted funds which have not been
designated for a specific use should be maintained al a level equivalent lo between three and six month's
expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves al this level would ensure that, in the event of a significant drop
in funding, they will be able to Continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given lo ways in
which additional funds may be raised.
These levels of reserves could be maintained throughout the period if required.
