What the accounts disclose
“Long-term reserves represent those funds held specifically to safeguard TFCT in case of unforeseen financial circumstances. In light of full ownership of the Kings Centre by the charity and a high level of predictability of ongoing income and expenditure, a decision by the trustees was taken not to hold excess funds in long-term reserves.” — page 8
