the importance of their contribution to the centre.
Prlnelple Fundlng Souree8
The funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grant funding and letting income. As a
result of increasing constraints on the expenditure of local authorities, the cl)arity has to s¢¢k funding
from a muth broader group of agencies and increase lettin8 income.
Investment Poliey
Asidc from retaining a pnmlent amount in res¢rv¢s eath yw. most of the charity's funds are to be
spent in the short-terni so there are few fimds for lon8-terni investmenL A review of investment
policies is plann￿1 early in the new financial year.
Reserves Pollcy and Going Con¢erD
The Trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the
organisation. They have establish¢d a policy whereby the unrestricted fimds not committed or
invested in tangible fixed a&sets held by the charity should be six months of thc cxpenditure.
The Trustees are of a view that Pilands Wood Community A￿ocIation is a goin8 concern.
