## **Statement of the charity’s policy on reserves:** 

Mother Earth Hindu Temple Glasgow maintains a financial reserves policy to ensure the stability, continuity, and responsible stewardship of the charity’s activities. The Trustees recognise their duty to safeguard the charity’s ability to meet ongoing commitments, respond to unforeseen circumstances, and continue delivering its environmental, spiritual, cultural, and community services without interruption. 

## **Purpose of Reserves** 

The charity holds reserves to: 

- Ensure continuity of worship, festivals, and community programmes in the event of unexpected income fluctuations 

- Cover essential operating costs such as rent, utilities, insurance, and maintenance 

- Provide a buffer for emergency repairs, safety requirements, or urgent facility needs 

- 

- • Support responsible long term planning and protect the charity from financial instability 

## **Target Level of Reserves** 

The Trustees aim to maintain unrestricted reserves equivalent to 6 months of core operating costs. This level is considered sufficient to: 

- Sustain essential services during periods of reduced income 

- Allow time to adjust expenditure or secure alternative funding 

- Manage unexpected repairs or essential equipment replacement 

The target level is reviewed annually in light of the charity’s size, commitments, and risk profile. 

## **Current Level of Reserves** 

‑ At year end, the charity held unrestricted reserves of £109553 which the Trustees consider above target in relation to the policy. Where reserves differ from the target level, the Trustees have agreed the following approach: 

• If below target: a plan to rebuild reserves through careful budgeting and prudent cost management 

**15** 



• If above target: consideration of future investment in facilities, safety improvements, or programme development, while maintaining financial stability 

## **Review of the Policy** 

The reserves policy is reviewed annually by the Trustees as part of the budgeting and risk ‑ management process. Adjustments are made where necessary to reflect changes in operating costs, risks, or strategic priorities. 

The Trustees remain committed to maintaining a responsible, transparent, and sustainable approach to financial stewardship in support of the charity’s long ‑ term mission. 

## **Details of any deficit:** 

There were no deficits in funds during this financial year. 

## **Donated facilities and services:** 

No donations of funds, services or facilities were done by MEHTG during this year.

- Deepen interfaith and community partnerships
