What the accounts disclose
Reserves policy: three months' core costs (minimum of £32,000) (held: £1.3m)
“In practice the Trustees consider that holding reserves equivalent to a minimum of three months' core costs (i.e the day to day running costs of the Charity), excluding funds tied up in fixed assets, should provide sufficient funds to respond to unexpected adverse changes in the Charity's funding or activities. This equates to a minimum of £32,000 based on current levels of activity.”
