Financial Review
Policy was updated in January 2023. The Administrator will be checking monthly to ensure the correct amount of funds are held. Financial reviews will be held annually.
Reserves Policy
The Board of Trustees are aware of the need to maintain sufficient reserves. The Trustees have determined that The Den should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than 4 months of unrestricted expenditure on basic operational commitments so that The Den could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely.

The Board of Trustees have adopted the Care Inspectorate Wales safeguarding policy relating to children. Kevin Baugh is the Safeguarding Officer for The Den.
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees' Report above.
