What the accounts disclose
“The Trustee’s reserves policy is to expend unrestricted income within a reasonable period of time in furtherance of the charitable objects. Under normal circumstances, a period of one year is considered to be reasonable; therefore, the Charity would be expected to hold reserves approximately equal to average annual unrestricted income. The average is determined over a three-year reference period.” — page 20
