SHIU GURU RAVIDASS TEMPLE OLESHILL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED JIST JULY 2025 FINANCIAL RF.VIEW Re￿r¥e$ polley Over and above any Restricted Funds, it is the policy of tbe charity to maintain unrestricted reserves not ¢ommitted or invested in tangible assets, which are the fr¢e reseryes tsf the charity, at a level, which equates to approxiTnatety three years U[￿¢strict¢d ¢xp¢nditur¢. This Should provide sufficient funds to cover operational costs of the current activities of the charity in the event of a 5ignificani declin¢ in donati(Trns income. The period would then give sufficient time trj consider how the filnding would be replaced or the actiyities changed. In addition, the unrestricted resetves also need to be available to fund futur¢ work antlcipated on the temple and any other planned capital ¢xpenditure should the chariry be required to do so within a short tim¢ scale. In porticular, major refuTbishments to the temple building are plann¢d. The target levels for free reserves have therefore not b¢¢n achieved.
