Risk Management
We havÈ assessed land reviewed regularlyl the major risks to which we ¢ire exposed, In Panlcular
those related to our operations and finances, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate
our exposure. No major risks have been ideniifted. A key element in oyr management of flnancial
risk is the settin& and re8ular review of our Reserves policy.
ResERV
S POLI
Free reserves are those funds not tied up In Fixed Assets or De518natedlRestricted Funds. We
forecast the level of reserves required to Sustain operations. Should income-generating activities be
curtailed. Free reserve5 increased from £67,596 to £91,050 during the year, however considerable
amounts are already eamarked for immediate use. Whilst the current level of re5etves may prove
Sufficient, it is our view that it is prudent to ensure that there are sufficient free reserves to ensure
financial flexibility over the course of the forthcoming challen8es.
