What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: three months' operating costs (held: £1.4m)
The Trustees are working towards building free reserves of at least 3 months’ operating costs in order to protect services and to ensure adequate cash flow for the organisation’s needs. — page 9

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
Although the charity’s assets include the value of BJ House, these funds are tied up in the property and are not available for refurbishment, compliance, development or day-to-day growth. To secure BJNW’s long-term future, a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation has been established, enabling appropriate finance while ensuring continuity of purpose, governance and service delivery.
