the gtslng concern basis in preparing the flnancial statements. Further delalls regarding the adoption of the golng
concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
b. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Iruslees have assessed the major risks lo which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems ar8 In
place to mitigate exposure lo major risks. These major risks are Ihts impact of short term funding, changes in

risk lo the charity is that of securing sufficient funding lo cover the charity's overhoads lo enable ils charitable
objectives.
The reality of fundSng for the Violence Against Women and Glrls sector in the eurrenl cllmate means that
organisalions are having lo work hard lo ensure they explore as many avenugs of funding as possible. As a
charity we work incredibly hard lo segk allernaliv& sources of funding. We prlde ourselves on working hard to
sustain and provide viable servlces. For a charity who launched itself in the midst of austerity we have becom
skilled al ulilising as many resources as possible to deliver all our projects in full. and will ¢onlinue lo build our
reserves lo ensurè the safety of our services for our beneficlaries.
c. RESERVES POLICY
11 is the policy of the ¢harily that cash balances should be mainlain¢d al a level equivalent lo at least six months
of overheads. The trustees consider that an appropriate resgrv8s level lo acheive this is around £154.798 for
the charity. Malntsining reseNes al this level will @nsure that, Sn the event of a significant drop funding, they
will ba abl& to continue the charills current actlvllles whilst consideration is gSven lo ralsing further funds.
Currently. the charity holds r8seNes equallng lo approximately four months of overheads.
