Plains Farm, Springwell and Thorney Close (hereby designated as "area of benefit") without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin, age, disability, or of political. religious or other opinions, by association together the Church of Sunderland St Mary & St Peter, the said inhabitants, statutory authorities and voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for said inhabitants. Risks to which the charity is exposed Retention of Staff The Management Committee will ensure that the terms and conditions of employment are appropriate to the level of experien required for each post and that the salary is commensurate with that level of experience. Failure to secure future fundin The Management Committee meet regularly to discuss funding and finan and work with the external advising organisation to produce funding applications using full cost recovery and to raise funds through hall hire and room rental. Poor attendance b local eo le The Management Committee is comprised of local people. so the Project will be responsive to local needs. Publicity in the form of local press. newsletters and information events will ensure that local people are consulted and infomed. In 2012 we commissioned Voluntary Community Action Sunderland (VCAS) to undertake a Community Consultation to advise us of the preferences of the local community to ensure we are constantly working towards meeting community need. This will infom our development. and be reviewed regularly. The Management Committee have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and will continue to monitor these risks and put systems in place to mitigate those risks. Reserves and Investment Policies The Management Committee has a policy whereby any unrestricted funds not committed or invested in langible assets held by the charity should reflect up to twelve months of the resources expended. At this level, the Management Committee feel that they would be able to sustain the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant reduction in funding. It would however be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities and facilities changed. The Management Committee has, in accordance with its reserves policy. a COIF Charities Deposit Fund. into which it places funds not immediately needed for its objects. Induction and Training of Trustees Trustees of the Charity are recruited from the Parochial Church Council of St Mary & St Peter's Church and local residents, according to the Constitution. Nominations for Trustee are sought from members of the organisation. Prior to each AGM, four local people may be nominated by members and if more than four nominations are received, all members will be asked to vote at the AGM. Nominees are asked to make a personal statement. giving their reasons for applying to be a member of the Management Committee and any skills or experience they can bring to the role of Trustee. Trustees undergo training in Committee skills and can also take advantage of any of the traininglleisure activities available within the Project.
