funds, which can often be found in larger
organisations. As a new charity, the
organisation has not been operating long
enough to develop a sizeable reserves fund
or therefore have a reserves policy.
Our business development plan includes
the need to develop and communicate a
clear and effective reserves policy that:
✓fully justifies and clearly explains
keeping or not keeping reserves
✓identifies and plans for the
maintenance of essential services
for beneficiaries
✓reflects the risks of unplanned
closure associated with the charity’s
business model, spending
commitments, potential liabilities
and financial forecasts
✓helps to address the risks of
unplanned closure on beneficiaries
