on Reserves
The Charity's current reserves policy is to maintsin sufficient cash flow for known
commitments, be they for religious servi¢4 site oper￿Ing cost& site maintenance and
upgrades. Despite the unprecedented Lockdown restrictions faced in 2020 (and subsequently),
and the consequent reduction in Sangat congregation visitor numbers, the Trustees hav¢
continued to invest in Sunday services throughout the year and used fund raising campaigns
to support addilional investments in building improvements.
Financial Review
Th¢ main source of funds are th¢ donalions from the Sadh Sangat and remains positive and
responsive. We thank the Sikh wmmuniry for their continued financial support that has
allowed the progressive reduction on outstanding loans. substantially ahead of lender
requirements.

has seen related works completed in August 2021. This h&s been mad¢ possible by an
associated fiJnd-raising campaign for the r¢quired 20Y• own-funds, undertaken by the
Gurdwara and Cambrid8¢ University Sikh students.
Risk4
The Board examines the major risks that the charity faces each year when preparing and
updating the strategic plan. The charity has developed systems to monitor and Control these
risks to mitigate any impact they may have on the charity irk the future. This has been critical
