Though the charity operates on a nol-for-prDfil basis, it is the poli¢y Df the
CIO that there should be unrestricted funds, which have not been
designated for specific use, maintained at a level equivalent to al least
three months, core expenditure. The Trustees congider that reserves at
level Mll ensure that. in the event of a significant drop in funding,
they will be able to continue the CIO'S current activities whilst
consideration is given lo ways in which additional funds may be raised.
This level ol reserves has not been maintained throughout the relevant
period as this was the first period of operation. The trustees aim lo build
up this level of reserves over the coming year.
