One grant was awarded lo the Foundation dL¢ring this operating period. This was a one off don*ion of
£1 0,000 from Dementia Research UK io help towards the provision of the demeniia advice and support
services.
Reserves pollcy
Generally, it is considered prudent to maintain a level of usable reserves sufficient to covei unexpected and
unplanned events so thai the charity s primary objective is preserved. Al the same time, the Truslees wish
to ensure that it uses its funding lo benefit ihe community.
Investment policy and objectives
Aside from retaining a prudeni amounl in reserves eaeh year, mosi of the charity s funds are spent in the
short term. so few funds are available foT long-le¥m inveslment. Investment may be an option in futuie
years, but the Irustees believe the charity's money must remain available and easily accessible should
unforeseen expenses afise.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The Charity intends to recTUIt a paid Fundraiserto work with building relationships with the local community
