BRECI(LAND CHRJSTIAN FELLOWSHIP TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 riINANCIAL REVELW Reserves policy A certain amount of working capital is kept in the cuffent account foi meeting iegular financial coininitments. Tliis policy relates only to the deposit account. Tlie TNstees of Breckland Christian FellowsliTP have detci'inined that: reseives are required both to smooth out fluctuations in income and expendituie, and to maintain an ability to respond to ui'gent needs. they will seek to maintain the i'eserves held in deposit accounts at a range of between I/0 and 2000/0 of annual incoine. The lower figuie is, they consider, the least possible consistent with a continued ability to ineet regular coininitments. The higliei. figiwe allows for signifLcant capital expenditt]re and incrcased spending on staffing, i)iinistsy, and mission. iii addition, the higliei. figure of 2000/0 has been established to allow TISteeS to consider the pui'chase of a building foi. the fellowship. day to day decisions regarding transfer of funds to and fi'oin the ciinent account into the deposit account are delegated to the TIEasurei'. tliis policy will be reviewed annually.
