Online event
Join our practical, free-for-AiM-members webinar to sharpen your approach to charity reserves. Hear from Quilter Cheviot and Yoke and Company as they demystify risk, explore how reserves can protect your organisation in tough times, and show how they can also support growth and greater impact. You’ll gain clear, practical guidance on reviewing your reserves policy and discover whether the familiar “six months’ expenditure” rule really works for your charity—or if a more tailored approach is needed.
