What the accounts disclose
Reserves policy: three and six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure (held: £94k)
“The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level between three and six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. They consider that this level will ensure that there are sufficient funds available to cover support and governance costs in the event that the Company needed to be wound up. The trustees therefore consider that the ideal level of operational free reserves at 31 March 2025 would therefore be £30,000 to £60,000.” — page 8
