Main achievements of the Company The Community Foundotion for Stoffordshire wos first estobli5hed In 2001 and begon operotlng across Stoke-on-Trent in 2008. In 2009 the geogrophicol oreo of benefit wos exponded to cover the county of Stoffordshire. Following the closure of the neighbouring Shropshire and Telford Commvnity Foundotion in 2015, we begor) offering ad-hoc grant- giving servlces to Shropshire to ensure that community ond voluntory orgonisolions could continve to occe5s locol grossroots funding. After several failed ottempts by voriov5 orgonisations to estoblish another community foundotion we began offering tull services to the covnty in 2016. operating Under the name Commvnitu Foundotion for Shropshire, and becomlng the county's only occredited community foundotion. In 2023, it was agreed to formally change the nome of the comporiy ond charity to Communlty Foundation for Stoffordshire & Shropshire. and to use this new name ocr055 both covntles Usuolly. the chority is referred to os the Community Foundation. In the eorlu 2020,5, following on from the Covid pondemic and various foctors offecting investments we hod revised down our growth forecasts, but hod olso manoged to surposs them. In creating our Business & Development Plon 2024 2029 we were coutiously optimistic. bvt ogoin managed to perform beyond expectolions. Durlng the year new endowment funds were secvred totolling over £457k to benefit both Staffordshire & Shropshire. New flowthrough schemes. Used for imrnediote gront giving. were secured which totalled more than £3.8m. Our work across Shropshire wos fLJrther solidified, ond we won new controcts for gront delivery in the county in the 2024 colendor year and secured two scheme extenslons toking the programmes into 2026. We algo odded some lond holdjng5 to our portfolio of Shropshire assets due to trust transfers and secured u significont new legacy. There remained o competitor organisotion using o similar nome. but the boord of trustees took the decision thot os the legitimate, registered ond notionally recognised community foundation for Shropshire we should continue our work brlnging benefit to communities across Shropshire & Telford and Wrekin. Finoncial review The Statement of Fir)anciol Activities for the year is set out on page 18 of the finonclol stotements. A summory Df the *inoncial results Is set out below.

Reserves pollcy We oim to cover the running costs of the chority. (including basic Dperoting costs and more advonced ond client facing activities), through doy-to-doy business octivity, including the distribution of gronis for which a cc)niribulion lo costs rnau be mode by the fvnder. ond through the contribution to costs we receive from our f undholders. As a charity ond a non-profit making compony we do not aim to moke o profit. but o surplus may occur when income exceeds expenditure. The boord reco9niges the need to grow endowment levels to o crltlcol moss to provide o sustoinable source of future Income. which is one not offected by new contract5 ond funding cycles. An endowment fvnd volve of £12m would be enough to cover our runnlng costs ot current levels, ond the current endowment fund total is jusi short Ol this. The boord olso recognlses thot there is a need to ensure thot. should Income leve15 not be suff iclent to cover runnlng costs. there Is o plon in ploce lo ensure ovr coniinued operotlon In the short-lerm. to allow us o chance to recover and grow. To address thi5 concern. we have developed ihe f ollowing re5erve5 policy. Unrestricted reserves may be used lor any purpose thot the chorily sees f it, and this affects the level of reserves that we oim to mainloin. Certoln Items of income may not contribute to unrestricted reserves. os they ore olreody allocoted for expenditure in advance. For the purposes of this policy expendable endowments are not included in reserves, althovgh they mtsy offer flexibility with regords to planned expendlture. In addition lo ovr held reserves. we have estoblished our own endowment fund, which Is set up to cover development Costs ond strotegicollu imporlonl work which may not be covered by ordinory income. For the purposes of this policy the board have set o level of £270.000 to be held in unrestricted reserves. which will be the equlvolent of 9 months, running costs ot current levels. The reserves policy stotes 9 months. with a tolerance of 3 months either woy. meaning reserves held will be the equivolent of belween 6- and 12-months running costs. This level wlll give the Foundotion time to find olternative funding sources should there be a significant drop in incorne level& b, Moterlal investments pollcy We invest following Charity Commission guidelines. As port of thot strotegy, we hove odopted on eihicol inveslmenl policy encompa55ing changing communitu otlitudes. During the year we continued to employ CCLA as one of our Investment managers ond also utiliged the services of Cozenove. We ore olso the custodian of a held fund which Is invested with Morlborough. Every three year5, accordlng to our internal policies ond procedures. we consider our investment slrotegy ond the suilobility of our investment monogers. and the nexl review is dve In 2026. As port of the regulor review into the Investment portfolio. o decision wos taken to diversify our Investments. ond to increase the level of sociol impact during the Investment process. Whi15t we already hold Investments In commercial property, we wanted thot property to be based locolly, so that we con hove o more direct ond positive impact on our locol community. All decisions token ore in line with the governing document. and further discvssions continue to take ploce to exomine how best to balance finonciol and sociol return, with protecting the investmenl value. We now own o building in Stafford whlch Is let ot preferentiol rotes to local chorltles, social enterprises. and comtnunity groups. The income generoted is used to focilitote further grant giving.

Principal risk5 and uncertainties Over the lost 12 months there have been some slgniflcont income streams provided through local authorities, which were turn funded by government. Usuolly, we aim to ensure thot the mojority of our Income con be clossed os susitsinoble income. thot being os o result of endowment or chargeoble services.

Whilst thls is o monogeoble figure, and whilst we will continue to monoge these streams. we have dedicoted extro resources to growino our business development team. and revlsed and updated our Busine55 Development Plan, to ensure that growth f rom suslainoble sources con be the focus in the future. This focus ollows us to respond more quickly to emerging and immediate need, strengthens our strotegic resilience ond in turn puls u5 in a Stronger position to monage flowthrovgh funding. These risks ore kept under regulor review in order to provide eorly mitigotion ond oction if needed. A formol Risk Assessment provides detoils of the actions needed to mitigate these risks, olong with o list of further mitigation Ihot we need to toke. With a growth in prlvotely held endowment there is o need to expond the business services we offer in order to provide o fvller service to donors. os well as to look at complimentary services This must be corefully balonced with sustoinoble income ond resources to ensure there is no retroctlDn of services. d.
