However, the charity's free reserves position is a deficit of £1.38M, which the trustees attribute to strategic capital investment in Hope Court funded by a long-term bank loan. Excluding this capital asset and financing, the underlying operational free reserves are positive £2.19m, which the board states is in line with their reserves policy target.
