Reserv•s policy
It 15 Ihe pollcy of the Assoclation that unrestrltted fvnds, whlch have not been
designated for a specific use or tied up in buildings and other tangible assets, should
be maintained at a level equivalent to three months expenditure.
The trustees consider that this policy refletts the wish to commlt as much as
Posslble, wlthin the bound5 of safety, to providing suitable facilities for the members
and the local community, while retaining financial stabillty and the potential to
respond to new opportunities.
At the end of 2023, the Ass(xiation'5 cash reserves were £lQ4,651, equivalent to 6.3
time5 the current estimate for three months expenditure. This means that the
A550ciation's level of reserves are sufficient for the trustees to continue to commit to
providing sultable facilitles for member5 and the local community.
