What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: approximately one year of core expenditure (held: £509k)

“The Trust holds a contingency reserve of £15,000, primarily to cover any sudden and major fall in voluntary income. This sum represents approximately one year of core expenditure, so it is thought that if a situation arose where either short or long term income seemed in doubt, the reserve would provide a period of between one to three years for the trustees to consider how best to proceed.” — page 5
