Reserves policy: Provide funds which can be designated to specific projects on short notice, or for which no funding can be raised, which further the organisation’s charitable aims as stated in its constitution. Cover administration and support costs without which the organisation could not function.

Governance: The AGM planned for Saturday 13th December 2025 had to be adjourned as we experienced difficulties acquiring the "Zoom" software to allow the meeting to be held on that day. Attempts to hold the AGM at a later date was not possible and practical due to pressure of work and other commitments of the Trustees.
