“Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover any unplanned or emergency expenditure. The reserves policy provides a level of security and a buffer, which will allow our services to continue to be delivered with certainty over the next few years. This provides stability and reassurance to our members, supporters and the wider public that our organisation will continue to operate over the long term and is a going concern.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
