policy	on reserves										The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources
											to continue the charitable activities ofthe Group should
											income and fundraising activities fall short and to accumulate
											a reserve to support building capital expenditure. The Group
											Executive Committee considers that the group should hold a
											sum equivalent to 6 months' costs, approx. E25k. The
											Covid19 pandemic has served to proved the importance of
											the reserves.
											The Group held reserves ofapproximately 899k against this
											at year end. This is above the level required for current
											operating expenses. The Group has a substantiai building
											asset and equipment that needs to be maintained has a
											rolling 5year capital expenditure plan to regularly replace
											infrastructure and kit. On the capital expenditure plan is a
											project to reconfigure parts ofthe building layout to make
											better use ofareas for all users. Covid19 emphasized the
											importance ofthe outdoor spacesiactivities and this also will
											be focus for improvements. The first stage will be a planning
											application for covered outside area behind the kitchen, at a
											cost of a rox. F10k.
