||||||However,<br>we are also seeing an increase<br>in|
||||||demand<br>for support for adults and young people|

||||||Fortunately,<br>throughout<br>the year, alongside<br>an|
||||||increase<br>in funding<br>from Hertfordshire<br>County|
||||||Council for training,<br>coaching and our helpdesk,|
||||||we were able to access various funding<br>options|

||||||Childwick<br>Trust, The Light Fund, StAlbans<br>Fund|

||||||In addition<br>to this we were commissioned<br>to run|
||||||additional<br>six-week courses and workshops,<br>all|
||||||of which supported<br>the infrastructure<br>ofthe|
||||||charity and resulted<br>in a surplus<br>off29.7k this|
||||||year. Going forward we are aware that pressure|
||||||on the resources available<br>from Trusts and|
||||||Foundations<br>as well as from individual<br>giving<br>will|





||||increase, as will our need to utilise our resources|
|---|---|---|---|
||||even more efficiently<br>to ensure the longevity of|

||||We continued<br>to use fundraising<br>opportunities|

|A description<br>risks facing||ofthe principal<br> the charity|||Para 1.46|The principal<br>risk facing ADD-vance<br>is a lack <br>reliable ongoing<br>funding<br>sources. The number<br>parent carer courses and workshops<br>funded|of<br>of<br>by|
|||||||Herts County Council (HCC) are agreed||
|||||||annually,<br>with ADD-vance<br>having<br>no guarantee||
|||||||of ongoing<br>commissioning<br>ofthese, making||
|||||||budgeting<br>and financial<br>planning<br>a challenge.||
|||||||However,<br>during<br>this financial year we were able||
|||||||to secure 26 courses and 105workshops<br>from||
|||||||HCC.||
|||||||Being able to continue to move our services||
|||||||online following<br>the pandemic<br>has been of||
|||||||benefit to the charity and its service users||
|||||||however,<br>this has also increased<br>competition|for|
|||||||resources as both local and national||
|||||||organisations<br>have done the same. Competition||
|||||||for scarce resources<br>and high levels of demand||





||for services has increased<br>the risk of being||
|---|---|---|
||unable to access sufficient<br>funding<br>to maintain|all|
||our services. This risk is being mitigated<br>by||
||looking to diversify<br>both our service provision||
||and our income sources throughout<br>the next||
||year.||
||A further<br>risk to the charity is that following<br>the||
||pandemic<br>there is a very different<br>environment||
||within the Grants and Trusts that we can apply||
||to, with many focusing<br>on immediate<br>basic needs||
||(food and shelter) rather than promoting<br>and||
||protecting<br>health and well being, social inclusion||
||and education<br>ofthe public, thus potentially||
||reducing<br>the options for funding<br>sources for our||
||projects.||
