What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: £115,000 (held: £157k)
The target for free reserves set by the trustees is £115,000, which, they believe, would be sufficient to allow the charity to (a) continue to operate should budgeted income, or expenditure, vary unexpectedly, (b) go a considerable way towards covering the costs of winding up the charity in the unlikely event that it decides to stop operating and / or to (c) respond to new opportunities to advance the kingdom of God as they arise. — page 6
