These assels are sufficient to meet the Gharity's obligations on a fund by fund basis. Risk The organlsation is supported by a few local organisations (primarily Bracknell Forest Council, Wokingham Borough Council and Berkshire West CCG) in Ihe fomi of grant income receivable. This grant income IS fundamental to Ihe continuation of Involve and as such, the potèntial loss of this income has been identlfied as one of our primary r15ks. The risks Identified, associated with our core grant incomelprimary funders are medium in the short term. While a Complete loss of grant is unlikely, given the challenging outlook for local authority funding in the near term a reduction in grant levels is something that involve should be prepared for. This risk is mitigated by mindful husbandry of the organisation's reputalion. In addltion to the risk highlighted above regarding IDSS of funding from a prlm8ry funder, there is also the risk of expenditure being in excess of budg6t because of unforeseen circumstances.
