FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reser¥es policy
Funds raised as general donations are utilised to make donations. However where
funds are raised for Specific projects or events these are identified separately,
learmarkedl, and donated towards the relevant projects or events as required.
Reserves at the year end therefore include funds that were raised as general
donations that have not yet been used to make donations and funds that have been
received but earmarked for use on specific projects or events.
Over and above any funds held that have been earmarked for specific projerts and
events it is the policy of the charity to maintain some unrestricted reserve5 not
Committed or invested in tangible assets. This is in order to ensure that seed
funding is available for new projects to be started when ne￿Ssary.
