Reserves policy The lThstees have reviewed the reserves of the Ministy. Considering the variable income and substantially fixed committnents, the review concluded that to allow the ministy to be managed effectively and to ensure uninterrupted delivery of the Ministry's activities, general unrestricted reserves equating to approximately six months of operational costs should be attained. Al 31 July 2023 the g¢neral unrestricted reserves were £86,450 (2022- £111,216) whtch is an increase but still represents less than our objective of six months operational costs.
