Heal Rewilding CIO ## **Financial review** The period ended 31 March 2021 was the charity’s first period of operation and therefore no comparative information is presented in the accounts. The charity’s primary source of funding is contributions from its supporters and during the period the charity received donations of £88,596, sponsorships of £50,000, grants of £7,443 and income from fundraising events of £7,629. Operating costs, including start‐up costs, during the period were £98,765. This resulted in net receipts of £54,903 of which £32,189 are restricted to the purchase of land for rewilding (‘the land fund’). The trustees have considered the issue of reserves. These fall into two categories – restricted reserves for the Heal land fund; and operational reserves including a contingency. All amounts in the former category will be held in reserve until they are used for land purchase. There are currently no other categories of restricted funds. Regarding operational reserves and contingency, the trustees agreed that operational reserves are needed and have established a reserves policy, requiring three months of operating reserves to be held with a 4% contingency. The justification for this level of operational reserves is that unrestricted donations have been steadily rising. The current level of reserves held broadly corresponds to the target.
