What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: minimum of six months’ spending (held: £605k)
That aim, as stated elsewhere in this report, is why amongst other planned changes downsizing the charity’s base and investing a percentage of the revenue this generates will give L&MFS the level of financial stability it requires. Inevitably, when complete, such a move will provide L&MFS with a reserve which far outstrips the minimum of six months’ spending it has previously tried to maintain. — page 12
