Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
Details of any funds materially in deficit
The Group’s policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the group should income and fund raising activities fall short. The Group Executive Committee considers that the group should hold as a minimum a sum equivalent to 6 months running costs, circa £7,000.

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
-
The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising).

How expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity.
About one-half of the Group’s net income is derived from member’s subscriptions.
The remainder comes from fund-raising activities (principally the Spring sale of bedding plants), and through letting the headquarters premises to other local groups.
The Group does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer term investments. The group has therefore adopted a risk averse strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream banks or building societies.
