The Sickness
and maternity		 fund provides some cover for longer-term staff sick leave; previously it also
included
some cover for maternity		 leave but this is now regarded
as a routine		 cost.
The premises
fund recognises		 that LAWRS may incur exceptional
expenditure		 in the next 1to 2 years and
earmarks some funds to meet these exceptional costs.
The Transition
Fund
earmarks		 some funds to allow
LAWRS to budget		 some planned work in 2023/24,
notably
supporting
the needs		 of service users, while
LAWRS secures more longer		 term funding. Over the
last 3 years
LAWRS
has funded		 significant work
through		 emergency and short-term funding, and
is
currently
transitioning
to a		 higher proportion of multi-year funding.
