## **Investment Policy** 

- Trustees have and must accept ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the charity, and ensuring: 

- that the charity is solvent, well-run, and delivering the charitable outcomes for the benefit of the public for which it has been set up. 

- Ensure that the charity complies with charity law, and with the requirements of the Charity Commission as regulator; in particular ensure that the charity trustees prepare Annual Reports on what it has achieved and Annual Returns and accounts as required by law. 

- Ensure that the charity does not breach any of the requirements or rules set out in its governing document and that it remains true to the charitable purpose and objects set out therein. 

- Comply with the requirements of other legislation and other regulators (if any) which govern the activities of the charity. 

- Act with integrity, and avoid any personal conflicts of interest or misuse of charity funds or assets. 

- Ensure that the charity is and will remain solvent. 

- Use charitable funds and assets reasonably, and only in furtherance of the charity’s objects. 

- Avoid undertaking activities that might place the charity’s endowment, funds, assets or reputation at undue risk. 

- Take special care when investing the funds of the charity, or borrowing funds for the charity to use. 

- Use reasonable care and skill in their work as trustees, using their personal skills and experience as needed to ensure that the charity is well-run and efficient. 

- Consider getting external professional advice on all matters where there may be material risk to the charity, or where the trustees may be in breach of their duties. 

All trustees, however appointed, must act in the charity’s interests, and must not represent the interests of any outside organisation or their own personal interests. 

Trustees value professional and personal development for both Trustees and Volunteers. New trustees and Staff, including volunteers are given induction regarding the charity policies and working document. They are encouraged and supported in their training and development to enhance efficiency and competencies in carrying out their tasks and responsibilities in order to achieve the objects of the charity. 



The trustees usually meet quarterly and as the need arises; to review, plan activities and monitor progress and developments.
