What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: rare for the charity to need to retain reserves... retention of reserves is therefore not a regular occurrence or option (held: £187k)
Due to the charity not having any particular long term commitments and few overheads, it is rare for the charity to need to retain reserves. As a result, as soon as funds are available there is usually a long list of worthy causes and projects that the trustees consider for loan, grant or donation and so the retention of reserves is therefore not a regular occurrence or option. — page 5
