RISK		iMPACT	PROB	ACTION	RESIDUAL
					RiSK
FINANCES- Risk ofnot		HIGH	HIGH	Timely progress in several ofthe business development areas can be evidenced, with	MEDIUM-HIGH
achieving				several new grant and contract
diversified business (see 6)	model			opportunities in the near term pipeline. Business development and going concern modelling are place. The Board, CEO and
				senior managers are currently assessing
				progress on a monthly basis. Very
				conservative projections for 2024/25
				indicate positive contribution to reserves.
				However, as with any change in business
				model, this needs to be monitored closely
				until bedded in, when risk will be mitigated.

RISK		IMPACT	PROB	ACTION	RESIDUAL
					RISK
GOVERNANCE: Risk ofensuring		HIGH	MEDIUM	The Board have taken the following steps: Creating an audit/finance committee to	MEDIUM-LOW
good				enable detailed scrutiny offinance and nsk;
governance				increased the frequency of Board meetings,
over organisation				which are now hybrid; participating in the Refresh programme to advance our
				strategic planning; reviewing the financial,
				fundraising and risk reporting mechanisms;
				engaging in active trustee recruitment
				including working with Tower Hamlets
				Volunteer Centre promoting diversity of
				lived experience, skills, and intersectional
				identity; Succession planning.
OPERATIONS: Risk associated		HIGH	MEDIUM	There are several delivery programmes where Real is a partner in a consortium lead	MEDIUM-LOW
with delays partnership work	in			by another agency. Real makes every effort to mobilise in a timely fashion, but occasionally delays amongst the
programrnes				partnership, impacts on our work. There are
				also occasions when public sector
				partners, with whom we are contracted to
				work, impose delays. Real mitigates these
				risks by ensuring that this is documented
				and where appropriate reported to the
				commissioner/grant giver, and by keeping
				to our own revised delivery schedule.
REPUTATION		HIGH	MEDIUM	Having a service delivery role in Tower	MEDIUM-LOW
				Hamlets as well as being a DPO
				responsible for voicing Disabled community
				concerns could be the source of
				reputational risk. This is mitigated by a) by
				engaging with and managing relations with
				senior officers and politicians, and acting
				professionally. consistently. transparently
				and authentically at alf times; b) broadening
				our funding base and the reach ofour
				influence beyond Tower Hamlets; c)
				presenting and promoting our ongoing work
				so that it has maximum reach and impact;
				d) Connecting all our activity to the change
				we want tosee in the world (Theory of
				Change). By implementing Refresh and the
				revised business model this risk will reduce.
WORKPLACE		HIGH	MEDIUM	There continues to be a search with the	MEDIUM-LOW
			-LOW	local authority to find suitable accessible
				ground floor accommodation. In the
				meantime PEEPs and mitigations are in
				place in our current first tloor office space.
				We have been told that the space we
				currently use will at some stage be required
				for other purposes by LBTH, and have now
				made direct representations to the Mayor's
				Office to expedite their assistance.
