Financial Review
Brief statement of the charity's policy on
reserves
Rè50rves Policy
The District's wlicy tsn FeServes is to hold 8ufficient
resOUr￿S to continue the charitable activities of the
District should income and fundraising activities fall short.
The District 8oard of Truste6s considers that the group
should hold a surn equivalent to 12 rnonlhs wnning costs,
rca £14000.
Quants"fy and explain any ￿es￿Jnat￿ns
The District hdd reserves of approximately £82000
against this at year end. This is above the level required
ror oper8ting expenses. This can be explaiTred by the
need to hold funds to sw)nsor Continued District seCt￿nal
events and eontingency supwjrt to Group5 Within the
Inve$lment Pollcy
The District's Income and Expenditure is very small and as
a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in
longer-term investments such as stock8 and Shares. The
District has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the
investment of its funds. All funds a￿ held in cash u&ng
onty mainstream banks or building societies.
The D5strict Trustees monitor the kvels of bank balances
and thè intÈr8st rates received to ensure the group obtains
maximum value and Income from its banking
arrangements. Occasionally this Fnay involve using an
account that r8quires a period of noti￿ belore funds may
be withdrawn. before doing so the Trustees con￿der the
cash fiow requirements.
