The spending for the period was £ 11,474 resulting in expenditure over income deficit of £322, which was partly covered by the loan given to the charity by the trustees.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's policy is to ensure that there are reserve funds available to run the basic operations of the charity for a minimum of three months. The Trustees estimate this would require a minimum reserve of £500, measured as unrestricted net assets. At the year end, the charity had unrestricted funds of £678 for this purpose. However, this was due to a funding provided by the founder. The Trustees will review the amount required for reserves for the charity to mitigate the effects of unforeseen events that may occur.
