Financial review

Financial review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21 Of the total distributable reserves at the
31st December 2023 of £3,019,961, the
reserves policy would require £2,571,237
to be set aside. Masonic fundraising
projects are ongoing in the years ahead
and it is the Trustees policy to retain the
surplus to contribute to these projects
such sums as they may agree are within
the objects of the Charity.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22 The Trustees are mindful of possible
market fluctuations in the value of quoted
investments and it is their policy to
reserve 25% of the market value as a
contingency reserve. This would amount
to £676,233 in December 2023.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 The Trustees also consider that income
could fluctuate and it is their policy to
reserve an amount equal to one year’s
possible grants of £100,000.

The source of the capital of the fund was
a sum of £850,000 raised by the Brethren

meet the demands on funds as set out in
its Bye-Laws. It is policy that the sum as
adjusted for inflation, should represent

be used to produce income towards the
distributions required by beneficiaries.
After allowance for inflation this would
amount to £1,795,004 in December 2023.
