| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The trustees have established an agreed level of reserves that we wish to maintain. This is based on an assessment of: 1. the risk of incurring signifcant unforeseen expenditure that cannot be delayed, and the likely magnitude of such expenditure, and 2. the risk of sufering signifcant unforeseen loss of income which cannot be replaced in the short term, and again the likely magnitude of such a loss. The agreed level of reserves is designed to ensure that enough short term funds would be available in the event of one or more of these outcomes, such that the ongoing operatons of the Hall, Cotage, Recreaton Ground and Ms Shirley’s Grove and designated project expenditure would not be afected in all but extreme circumstances. The risk and magnitude of unforeseen expenditure is clearly afected by our knowledge of the state of the building, which is generally in good conditon. However, the cotage roof will need replacing and given the buildings are old it is reasonable to expect repairs will be needed from tme to tme. With many regular user groups our income is quite robust and predictable however we are overly dependent on two large users; the pre- school and the cotage rent. Taking these factors into account, the current minimum level of reserves that we wish to maintain is £15,000 comprising: Unforeseen major repairs Loss of income from 2 or 3 large user g £5,000 An amount of £15,000 represents about 8-9 months average Trust income based on the income received from 01/22 to 12/22 (Post Covid). |
