## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **Investment policy**
Investment of the Trust capital fund is managed by Evelyn Partners, formerly Smith and Williamson, and any funds not so invested are held on deposit with Lloyds bank.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity can expend its capital fund at the Trustees discretion. Any income which is not spent during the year is accumulated in accordance with the Trust Deed. The Trustees aim to hold unrestricted reserves of approximately £20,000 to cover annual administration costs, and any other unforeseen expenditure. The reserves held at the end of the year were £63,231, this is higher due to the timing of the agreement and payment of grants and the date that dividends are received into the bank account.

The Trustees regularly review the potential risks that the Charity might face and are presently satisfied that there are no risks to the underlying financial position.
## **Accounting policies**
The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis. Income and expenditure which relates to a specific fund has been included within that fund.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act and comply with statutory documents, and the governing document.
