is committed for payment to the school in the
next financial year. The Committee considers
the charity to be in a sound financial position,
with sufficient reserves to meet its short-term
commitments and to respond promptly to
suitable funding opportunities for the benefit of
the school. The financial position is reviewed
regularly to ensure funds are used effectively
in line with the charity’s objectives.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Committee has considered the level of
reserves required by the charity. It is the
Committee's opinion that most reserves
should be passed to the development of the
school as soon as an appropriate project
arises. As the charity relies on income from
events held during the year and donations, a
minimum reserve of £5,000 is maintained to
ensure ongoing commitments to the school
can be met. Further the committee will only
commit to an expenditure if sufficient funds are
held.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£48,865| |Reasons for holding zero
