What the accounts disclose
Reserves policy: minimum of 2 months’ staffing costs (~£10k) and 1 month’s operational costs (~£14k) (held: £24k)
“Our reserves policy states that we should keep a minimum of 2 months’ staffing costs (~£10k) and 1 month’s operational costs (~£14k) set aside. We should also have no more than 6 months’ total costs (£144k or £110k excluding min reserves) in undesignated funds.”
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The document states 'There are no transactions with trustees or other related parties other than those disclosed as required by the SORP elsewhere in the financial statements'. Note 4 discloses that 'The charity received donations totaling £27,740... from 12 trustees and related parties.' This is a donation *from* trustees, not a transaction *with* them in the sense of payments to them, but it is a related party disclosure. However, rule 6 asks for 'disclosed related-party transactions (who, what, amount)'. The donation is a transaction. The note 11 explicitly says 'no transactions... other than those disclosed... elsewhere'. Note 4 discloses the donations. I will list the donations as the related party transaction.
