We will recruit and train additional volunteers to support our activities. We will continue to work in partnership with other local groups and providers and ensure that there is no duplication of effort in terms of providing services. We will continue to seek new trustees. Risk Management The Board of trustees has developed and adopted a risk register that lists significant risks and methods for mitigating them. This register was reviewed and updated in December 2023 to add in additional risks surrounding the lease of the Hub, The risk register is regularly reviewed at Board meetings. Financial Review The net expenditure for the year was £13,468, but of this £10,830 related to restricted funds and therefore the unrestricted deficit wa5 £2,638. The total reserves on 31 March 2024 were £114,689 of this £43,519 was restricted, £20,328 was in the designated contingency reserve and £50,842 was held as unrestricted 8eneral funds. Our main income came from our grant from the National Lottery Community Fund and KCC short breaks. Income from donations was £1,133. Reserves policy Our reserves policy is to hold reserves equal to'three- six months, running costs. However, given our present vulnerability to cuts in public funding and as we have no significant fixed assets, the trustees have decided to ensure that they retain a minimum reserve, excluding the value of f ixed assets, sufficient to meet the likely costs of closing should the need arise. Thev have agreed that £20,000 would be sufficient to meet those costs. We currently hold more than the a8reed reserves of three - six months running costs as we are aware that the situation pertaining to grant income is precarious. As a going concern we have sufficient funds to meet our operating cost5 for the next 12 months, We have been successful in securing KCC funding for short breaks for the next two years and the National Lottery Know your neighbourhood grant until March 2025, which will support us to carry out and develop our services over the next two years. These reserves will also enable us to attract donations for project5 which require matched funding. Signed on behalf of the Board of Trustees..
