What the accounts disclose
“It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, at a level which the Trustees think appropriate considering the future commitments of the Charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity for the next year at a minimum. However, the long term target of the charity is to generate a large enough reserve surplus to allow the consistent and increasing distribution of funds to other organisations that match the charity's objectives.” — page 5
