Scene & Heard is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of chiSdren and young people and expects all staff and volunteer5 to share this commitment.

SCENE AND HEARD TRUSTEES, REPORT for the year ended 30 April 2023 A key element in the managerNent of financial risk is a strong reserve5 policy. Reserves.- The trustees have reviewed the charity'5 need for reserve5 in line with the guidance issued by the Charitv Comrnission. The trustees have identified that general fund5 should be sufficient to 53feguard the charitV5 service commitment in the event of delays in receipt of grants and to ensure continuity iri the event of a large variation of income. enabling the charity to run efficiently and meet the needs of the beneficiaries for at least 6 months. This includes the obligations that would result from a decision to wind up the charity, to cover staff notice periods, governance costs, overheads and contractual commitments. In order to guarantee the above, the Trustees have designated that reserves equivalent to at least six months operating costs be held by the charity to ensure it can meet its future obligations as they fall due. The reserves amount for the financial year 2023-24 is £200,808. In line with our IDng-term planning, The Kathryn Findlay Future Fund set up to Secure the future home of Scene & Heard has been utili5ed to cover moving and setting up costs including a number of impravements to the building to make it suitable for our purposes. We have installed additional toilet facilities and a purpose-built costume shed. Remaining fund5 are for the replacement of our external gates which are not fit for purpose and a reduced fund retained for ongoing and unforeseen building related costs.
