## **Section E Financial review**
**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
The policy is to ensure a reserve of £5,000 in the accounts to ensure services can be maintained. Due to the difficulties in sourcing grants with high competition from a number of charities, and with people’s resources stretched fundraising has been difficult in the last 12 months, as such we have dipped below our reserve but have plans for the next 12 months to raise this back up to the reserve level.
