What the accounts disclose
Reserves policy: not less than £175,000 (held: £976k)
“The Board have identified that a minimum four to six-month period of operating costs equating to not less than £175,000 would be a reasonable level of free reserves to be able to deal with events that were not anticipated and that would have a negative impact on the organisation’s income streams. We therefore are operating within our reserves policy.” — page 14
