What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: sufficient reserves to ensure that it is in a position to continue its grantmaking activities and to cover contingencies (held: £48.5m)
“It is the Charity’s policy to maintain sufficient reserves to ensure that it is in a position to continue its grantmaking activities and to cover contingencies of additional calls being made upon the Charity for support of organisations or institutions in times of need. Consequently, the Trustees consider it appropriate to maintain ‘Free Reserves’ (unrestricted funds not committed or invested in Tangible Fixed Assets, Fixed Asset Investments or Loans to Subsidiary Undertakings) at a level which will not impinge on its ability to support Charitable Institutions.” — page 5
