Financial revie
Wc havc been fortunate in the continued funding for the City C¢ntre Street Work and the Nationgl Lottery
Rea¢hing Communities funding. We have also been successful I￿.1th other small funding bids which have served
ti) mak¢ our Rcaching Communities funding go further. We ar¢ in a fairly strong position at present, whi¢h will
en%ure ar¢ able to Continue all of our services in the coming )'¢ar.
Poliry on reserves
We would like to get to a position of holding three months of running costs in reserves to cover gaps between
I'unding. At current levels this would be around £63.000 and we currently have around £20.000 in general
reserve. We are aware of the diffjculties in growing reserves when we are soley dependant on grant funding
which cannot often be used for this purpose so the trustees will aim to investigate ways to do this.
