During the current year, more funding was directed towards Charities working with animals than would usually be the case. The Trustees took the decision to prioritise applications from such charities as their animal care costs remained whilst their fundraising opportunilies had declined due to the Covid 19 pandemic. During the same period there were fewer applications for assistance from prisoners and their families as prison visits and resettlement visits and leaves were not pemiitted. again due lo the Covid 19 pandernic.

The investment strategy set by the trustees is to prolect the capital base and maximise the immediale income relurn on the pemanent endowment, which is being achieved by selective quality freehold investment and deposit accounts. Financlal Review- Reserves Policy The trustees have not yet sel a monetary reserves target as the expectation has been, and remains that the potential primary beneficiaries of the charity are significantly higher than those currently being serviced. Once they are confident that all has been done to idenbfy and quantify the long temi level of demand, the reseNes will be set accordingly. In the meantime the trustees ale minded to be cautious in their approach to using reserves.
