relationship with any related parties;
trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

This is a new charity set up on 1[st] May 2019. Two of the four trustees were on the previous committee (of the unincorporated charity no.1027577 replaced by this CIO) and have provided invaluable support to the two new trustees.

Policies have been adapted and adopted from the previous organisation and all trustees have had an opportunity to see them. Many existing policies have needed to be updated this year in line with Covid-19.

The charity is currently running well with four trustees and the pre school supervisor attending all meetings. We may need to increase the number of trustees in the future.

One of the trustees is also a governor at the local primary school for which the pre-school is a feeder and two of the trustees are parents whose children have attended the pre-school in recent years. The pre-school rents its premises from the Benenden Village Trust and so enjoys strong community ties.

The major risks we have addressed this year are:
risks associated with Covid-19 which have changed regularly
risk associated with possibility of needed to move premises in the next few years. The trustees are currently in negotiation with the village trust and funding organisations to investigate options for re-siting the preschool
