## 5. Reserves Polic y
SARAA aims to maintain sufficient reserves to cover annual commitments (~£2,000) and essential equipment maintenance. Future costs include insurance renewal and certification renewals (A2CofC/GVC), which may require additional fundraising.
## 6. Risk Management
Key risks identified: reliance on volunteers to maintain competency and flight hours; ageing drone fleet leading to increased maintenance costs. Mitigation includes training initiatives, equipment upgrades, and cost-saving measures (e.g., in-house drone servicing).
## 7. Public Benefit and Compliance with Charity Law
SARAA operates exclusively for charitable purposes and complies with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. Activities provide clear public benefit by enhancing safety and effectiveness of search and rescue operations across Scotland. Trustees confirm all decisions align with OSCR guidance.
