## **Objectives, activities and achievements** 

As in previous years, the availability of funds has enabled the service to improve facilities for staff at several sites, to provide recreational amenities such as audio visual and computing equipment and provide assistance towards the cost of sporting activities which staff undertake in their own time.  The funds also allow staff to apply for support to pursue study interests which promote individual development consistent with the aims and objectives of the Service as a whole.  Both managers and staff wish to record the appreciation which is due to members of the public whose support enables the Service to enhance the level of facilities it is able to provide from other sources of income. 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives. 

## **Investment Policy** 

Surplus funds that are available over that required to meet any immediate needs of the Charity are invested to earn interest. 

Funds for the longer term are invested with advice of the investment managers ensuring a diversification of investment equity and non-equity to reduce risk while preserving capital value and producing return consistent with prudent investment. 

We rely upon our investment advisers CCLA Investment Management Ltd for an ethical investment policy. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The charity does not intend to create or retain significant reserves.  There are no significant ongoing commitments which require the retention of specific funds.  Delay between receipts and identification of suitable purposes has resulted in some accumulation of reserves. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have reviewed the risks facing the Charity and concluding that it has no operational areas so no risk exists in that respect.  There is a risk that the value of investments held will fluctuate. 

The Charity’s investments are regularly reviewed for their performance and returns. Financial reserves are invested in order to achieve a balanced spread of risk in consultation with investment advisors.

The financial statements have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis in accordance with the Charity Commission CC16

Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified as a _restricted income fund_ where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose. 

Those funds which are not restricted income funds, are _unrestricted income funds_ which are sub analysed between _designated (earmarked) funds_ where the donor has made known their non binding wishes or where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a specific fund for a specific purpose, and _wholly unrestricted funds_ which are wholly at the trustees’ unfettered discretion. 

The major funds held in each of these categories are disclosed in note 12
