Income
During the year, income of £14,393.74 was received. This was obtained through Member Subscriptions.
Investment Policy
The current policy is to hold cash in the Lloyds account where it is easily accessible, recognising it only attracts a low rate of return. As the charity accumulates cash reserves it will investigate the opportunities to invest in other, more long-term investment vehicles, to get better returns so long as this leaves sufficient usable cash for charitable grant purposes.
This policy will be reviewed annually.
Risk Review
The Board of Trustee recognises the importance of conducting a risk review to ensure mitigation against a number of key risks including, funding provision and reputation.
