Covid-19 The global Covid-19 virus pandemic and the imposition of a loc*down to combat it by the UK Government with effect from 23 March 2020 restricted the Charitys activities from this date through to 31 December 2021. Two of the Charity's three main activities were suspended in 2020. The Community Cafe, Café 8, was closed in early March 2020 In order to support the social distancing measures then being recommended by the Government and in advance of the lockdown. The Sclbjol Pastors Initiative was suspended when schools first closed in March 2020. The befriending scheme, TIM Friends. continued to operate througl)out 2020 and 2021 albelt In a much-modified fomi to ensure compliance with the Governmenvs social distancing measures and to safeguard the health both of our volunteers and our clients. All volunteers still engaged in the befriending scheme complied with 5tritt hygiene measures. The Charivs two main Sources of income are charitable donations and trading income from Cafe B.

Steps were tsken to reduce the Chariws cost base during the lockdown period and the Charity is in the fortunate position of having a relatwely flexible cost base with few fixed costs. Employees were furloughed at various points throughout the year as activity needs and levels varied. and the allowed proportion of their wage costs was recovered under the Governmenys Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The Trustees artively manage the tost base in the ordinary course of the Chariws activities and this tontinued throughout the pandemic.

Risk management The Trustees are resw)nsible for the on-going exercise of identifying on a time basis the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Each of these risks will be reviewed annually and where necessary systems will be put in place to mitigate those risks. No system, no matter how comprehensive. can eliminate risk entirely. Key performance indicators are not considered necessary for the understanding of the development, performance or position of the business of the company. There are no signiftsnt risks or UnrtaIntieS facing the Charty, including those within the context of the use of the financial instruments. The Trustees consider that the greatest risk to the Charitsble Company's ability to contirbue its artivities 15 that the Charity's existing $ourS of funding could diminish and have a detrimental impact on reserves. Staff and Management Boards are encouraged to brin8 new risks to the attention of the Trustees as soon as they are perceived to have arisen.
