An annual review by the TrllS￿ and the ￿nIOr operational management is in place to d¢velop new fiNncial slT8tegi&s and plans. Th¢ principal risk for the charity is sourciog the fimding to cover the children and family support services which were previously fiwded by Oxfor(tshire County Council, to cover this shortfall and tnaintain the future of the Sunshine Centre. The Trust¢¢s utKl¢rtwk a strategic review with the support of professional advisors. A new business plan was detailed as part of this the Board aims to mitigate this risk by using other existing and new scAwces of fimding streams to allow it to pursue charitsble objectives.

The Board is however aware that any business cannot contltiue indefitiitely without incorne supporting its costs. It hlls therefore allocated a portion of its reserves to coverthe Centre's costs to a designated reserve to ensure it C8n pay its existing staff and operdtional overheads for at least 6 months. as well as ally possiblc orderly closwe costs if additional income streams arc not fOrth￿rning. It is hoped the revised strategy as outlined within this report would mean that it would JK)t be n¢¢¢ssary to use all the desigDatrd reS￿ve& INVESTMEiYr poIicY The Sunshine Centre will maintain its legal responsibility to sxk the best return on invesÈTnents, with regard to approprialerisk factors alldusing its tndepend¢nt Finan¢ialAdvisor(Jackson Jefftey Financial SerYi¢¢s Ltd) to advise the Trustees on an appropriat¢ Jnv&stment StraÈegy to adopt.
