**SORP reference**|| |---|---|---| |**Policy on grant making**|**Para 1.38**|TLF’s criteria for consideration of the

community associations & businesses who
all contribute to fundraising events by

events, e.g. playing rugby, hiking, cycling,

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|We are on track with our expected spend.
Payments continue to reflect our planning
around new activities, campaigns & projects
over the next few years. Overall, our
financial position remains very stable.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|As our financial position remains stable, we
are able to make full use of our funds & have
no cause to hold a fixed level of reserves. As
it stands, we have sufficient levels to
manage any unexpected drop in funding &
we have always held the view that TLF will
seek to use the funds it raises to fulfil its
objectives rather than focusing on growing
its financial resources exponentially. But we
continue to be very mindful of managing
financial risk in difficult economic times.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|No fixed level has been set but we monitor
our finances closely & our minimum
resources remain steady at a level
appropriate to the aims & objectives of our
charity.| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|Although funding medical research is one of
our key objectives, we are also passionate
about raising awareness & working with
other charities to develop & improve access
to information about Neuroblastoma, &
childhood cancer more generally. It is also
something which can be achieved with
comparatively lower levels of financial
resourcing. Although we have never found
ourselves in this situation, it means we have
the capacity to manage our income more
effectively across different projects if funding
levels fluctuated or dipped significantly. But
we will continue to review our position & be
receptive to the possibility of fixing an
appropriate level of reserves if it provides
additional financial security in the longterm.
It follows that this will form part of any formal
policy relating to holding reserves.| |Details of fund materially in
