Rèsèrrfes Pollcy
The trustees have considered the level of unrestricted reserves that il is appropriale to hold,
taking account of current and ongoing commitments. It is the policy of the Irustees lo hold
between three and six month's nornial expenditure. At the year end. unrestricted reserves
were £51.187, which represents a higher level of reserves. The Iruslees however. consider
it prudent lo hold reserves al this level as the funding of its present activities is dependent
on the on-going financial support of members and lo allow for the purchase of a building
for the charity in the future.
