Income Generation: Negotiating and raising funding for the VCFSE to ensure gra55roots delivery in local communities.

Investment powers and policy The Trustees having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the Charity have kept available funds in an interest-bearing bank account. The Trustees have contlnued to monitor the many external influences and resulting internal changes and the position with investment opportunities and agreed that this remains the best course of action as this would allow necessary access to funds for supporting opportunities or ceasing activities depending on the outcome of the new commissioning opportunitles.

The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to meet general operational activities and to secure the Charit(s future development. The increased activity in sourcing funds through the Sector 3 activity has enabled the Trustees to be satisfied that these prospects combined with a good level of reserves ensure Sector 3 Stockport remains a going concern.
