The charity ended the financial year with reserves of £13,142, down from £20,036 at the end of the previous year and in line with our policy of reducing reserves.

Polisi Cronfeydd wrth Gefn Mae gan yr elusen bolisi o gynnal o leiaf £750 yn gronfeydd wrth gefn er mwyn gwastatau amrywiadau mewn incwm a gwariant yn ystod y flwyddyn ariannol. Bydd arian wrth gefn ychwanegol yn cael ei gadw pan fyddwn wedi cytuno i ariannu prosiectau dros fwy na blwyddyn. Byddwn yn parhau i adolygu ein polisi dyfarnu grantiau er mwyn sicrhau nad yw cronfeydd wrth gefn yn cronni dros amser.	Reserves Policy The charity has a policy of maintaining at least £750 by way of reserves in order to even out fluctuations in income and expenditure during the financial year. Additional reserves will be held where we have agreed to fund projects over more than one year. We will continue to keep our grant making policy under review to ensure that reserves do not build up over time.
