The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the trustee’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Plans for future periods
The foundation has numerous plans including donating to the Queens Green Canopy and to the Clock Tower Foundation, all of which will appear in the following years accounts.
