What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: more than sufficient to meet the Foundation's current requirements (held: £1.7m)
“At 31 March 2024 total unrestricted funds were £6.20m. However, of this amount £3.86m has already been committed by way of future grants payable to OnSide and the Youth Zone Network. A further £0.6m has been designated by the Trustees for specific purposes. This effectively leaves free reserves of approximately £1.7m, which the Trustees believe is more than sufficient to meet the Foundation's current requirements.” — page 5
