What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: no specific target stated; trustees decided not to hold excess funds in long-term reserves (held: £40k)
“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
