Il is Ihe lrnstees view that a major risk is the loss of funding income from HCC Aduh Services. HCC like all local authorities are under continuing pressure to achieve savings as a result of r￿uCtionS in centrai government fvnding. Should this search for savings result in a reduction in funding for services such as ours the tharity would no longer be finallcially viable. The charity will therefore continue to build our reserves lo address this possibility. FiYfURE PLANS The charity will continue to seek more local companies ty provide work for s¢rvic¢ users.
