OPEN’s statement of the charity’s policy on reserves:

The trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. They have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be between 3 to 6 months of expenditure. However, the trustees recognise this sum may only be achieved by building on reserves through operating surpluses that may be subject to funder grant condition restraints.
