Report (continved) For the Year Ended 31 Morch 2024 a. Reserves policy We oim to cover the running costs of the chorily. (including bosic operoting costs and more advonced ond client facing activities), through doy-lo-day business ocliK'ity, including the distribution o gronts for which o conlributlon to costs may be mode by the lunder, and through the contribution lo costs we receive from our fundholders As o charity and o non-profit moking compony we do not oim lo moke o profit, but 0 Surplus moy occur when income exceeds expenditure. The boord recognise5 the need to grow endowment levels to a criticol moss to provide o sustolnable source of f uture income. which Is one not offected by new contracts and funding cycles. An endowment f und value of £7.8rn would be enough lo cover our running costs ot current levels, ond the current endowment fund toial is just short of this. The board olso recognises thot ther? is a need lo ensure that, should income levels not be sufficient to cover running costs, there Is o plan in ploce lo en5vre our continued operotion In the short-term. to allow vs a chonce to recover ond grow. To address this concern. we hove developed the following reserves policy. Unrestricted re5erve5 moy be used for ony purpose thot the charity sees fil. ond this offects the level of reserves Ihot we oim to maintoin. Certoin items of income moy not contribute to vnrestricted reserves. as they ore olreody ollocoted for expenditure in odvonce. For the purposes of this pollcy expendable endowments will not be included In reserves. ollhough they may ofer flexibility with regords to plonned expenditure. In additlon to these reserve5. we hove estoblished our own endowment fund. which is set up to cover development costs which moy not be covered by ordinory income. For the pvrposes of this policy the board hove Sel o level of £270.000 to be held in unrestricted reserves. whlch will be the equivolent of 9 months. rijnning costs ol current leve15. The reserves policy stotes 9 months. with o toleronce of 3 months either woy. meaning reserves held will be the eqvivolent of between 6- and 12-monlhs running costs. This level will give the Foundotion tlme to find olternative funding sovrce5 should there be o significant drop in Income level5. b. Material investments policy We invegt following Chority Commission guidelines. As part of thot strategy. we hove odopted an ethicol investment policy encompossing chonging community attitudes. During the yeor we continued to employ Brewin Dolphin and CCLA os our investment monagers ond ore custodion of a held fund which is invested with Morlborough. Every three yeors. occording to ovr internol policies ond procedures. we consider our investment strotegy ond the suitobility of our investment monogers. A review ond 'beuuly porode, took place in Februjru 2023, with o decision to change Investment managers from April 2024. As port of the regular review into the investment portfolio. a decision wos token to diversify our investments. ond to increase the level of social impoct during the investment process. Whilst we olreody hold investments in commerciol property. we wonted thai property to be bosed locolly, so thot we can hove a more direct and positive impocl on our Iocc51 conimunitu. All decislons token are In line with ihe governing document. and further discussions continue to toke place to exomine how best to bolarnce finonciol ond sociol return, while protecting the Investment valve.
