Financial review
Brief statement of the charity's policy

The Trustees believe that around twelve months of annual expenditure is
an appropriate level of reserves in order to cover the timing differences
between receipts & payments and to allow for any unexpected items of
expenditure (£25,000). Our reserves have been at a much higher level for
many years and due to this we are able to assist anyone needing financial
aid to attend camps l events and or with monthly subscriptions.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

(b) to prepare accounts which agree wrth the accounting records and comply with the Regulats'ons
have not been met, or
