What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: £2,105,000 for business cessation plus £8,200,000 for potential year-end deficits (held: £1.1m)
“CACDP maintains unrestricted reserves at a level which will cover emergency costs, unforeseen high level losses of income or business cessation. The most significant amount would be the business cessation for which 2105k is considered a reasonable provision. In addition, due to the current financial uncertainty that has been caused by COVID-19, we will retain 8200k in reserves to allow for any potential year end deficits.” — page 8
