On this basis, rhe trusiees have agreed to mainiain the reserve ar £40.0￿ rn order to ensure the alms of the policy can be met. Thls sum Is based on the annual Nnnlng costs. the current untertainty in energy prices and inflation, and an estimate should unexpected buitding works be requlred. These monles are in place and held in a designated account. The financial position of the A55ocÉation is secure as Sel out in the accoun15. However, to underpin the ever Incre3slng daily costs, espeoally fuel and maintenance. there wa5 a small increase in room rental charges.
