What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £45k; policy: approximately four months of unrestricted charitable expenditure)
“The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately four months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to continue providing the free counselling service which is offered to the beneficiaries as well as maintaining our staff. The trustees consider that a level of six months is sufficient, which allows trustees to acquire funding from either the public domain or grant applications. Unrestricted Reserves Held: £45,461”
