What the accounts disclose
“The policy is to have reserves that cover at least three months of operating costs so that if all funding ceased, we could still provide support for people until they could find alternative funding.”
“During the year, the close relatives of Trustees received support services from the charity, based on requirements assessed using the same procedures as other supported people, provided under the same terms and at the same rates.” — page 27
