What the accounts disclose
“The Trust's reserves policy is driven by its investment policy which aims to maintain the real value of assets in the long-term, after distributing as grants about 4% of the value of the managed funds' investment portfolio in any given year. This equates to approximately £2.9m of grant expenditure based on the Trust's managed funds of £73m as at 31 March 2023. The Trust has no significant financial commitments. The charity's reserves are in line with the policy set and are considered sufficient for the continuing activities of the Trust”
