To fund risks that may materialise. resulting in an unexpected increase in expenditure andlor reduction in income. e. To provide working capital when funding is paid in arrears and place the charity in a position where it could apply for funding which can be paid up to 12 months in arrears. The trustees Sim to maintain the charity's reservès at a level which is gt least equivalent to bNo monthq operational expenditure {circa £20,000) in addition to designating a minimum of £18,991 towards potential redundancy outlay in the event of the company having to cease operations and have done so having regards to its manner of operation of likely funding streams. The reserves that we have set aside provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity. The in kind value we receive each year is approximately £65,000. On 31 March 2025 the charty held £31,000 as reserves. In the event of reserves dipping below the target the charity will aim to restore the reserves to its minimum level over a four-year period through increased fundraising, increasing earned income andlor reducing expenditure.
