Investment policy and

adopted		 Para 1.46 Scope
Our charity will invest in a diversifed
range of asset classes and regions.
We will consider investment in stocks,
bonds, property, and other
investment vehicles that align with
our charitable mission.
Investment Objectives
Our investment objectives are to
achieve growth and income. We aim
to generate sustainable returns that
allow us to achieve our charitable
objectives while protecting the capital
value of our investments.
Risk Appetite

We recognize that every investment carries risk, and we will manage these risks to ensure that they are commensurate with our objectives and the financial resources available. Our charity's risk appetite is moderate, and we are willing to accept fluctuations in the value of our assets in pursuit of our investment objectives. Balancing Investment Risk and Return We will balance risk and return to achieve our investment objectives. We will seek to achieve our investment goals through a mix of low-risk and high-risk investments to achieve a diversified portfolio of investments that suit our needs. Amount Available We will invest our financial resources in line with our objectives, risk appetite, and investment policy. The amount we have available for investment will be reviewed annually, and we will adjust our investment strategy as necessary to ensure that we continue to meet our objectives. Time Horizon Our investment time horizon is longterm, and we aim to invest in funds for the long term. We recognize that investing is a long-term activity that requires a disciplined approach to generate sustainable returns. Liquidity Needs We will ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our financial commitments, including grants and other charitable activities. We will invest in liquid assets and maintain an appropriate level of cash reserves to ensure that we can access our money when we need it. Types of Investments We will consider investing in ethical stocks that align with our charitable

mission. We will avoid investing in stocks that go against our charity's aims. Decision-Makers The trustees are responsible for making investment decisions, including approving the investment policy, setting investment objectives, and selecting investment managers. Key Performance Indicators We will measure the performance of our investments based on the total return, risk-adjusted return, and other appropriate benchmarks. We will review our performance regularly and adjust our investment strategy as necessary. Reporting Requirements We will communicate investment performance to our stakeholders annually, including donors, beneficiaries, and the Charity Commission. Responsibility and Remit of the Investment Manager If we engage an investment manager, they will be responsible for implementing our investment strategy, making investment decisions on our behalf, and reporting on investment performance. Investment Manager's Principles Our investment manager must follow our investment policy and adhere to our ethical standards. They must act in our best interests and manage our investments prudently. Investment Responsibilities of the Trustees The trustees have a legal obligation to secure the best financial return within the appropriate level of risk to be spent on the charity's aims. They have a duty to consider investment

suitability and diversifcation, to take
advice, unless there is good reason
for not doing so, and to review
investments.
Conclusion
Our investment policy sets out our
charity's approach to investing. It is a
framework for making investment
decisions, managing our fnancial
resources, and meeting our
governance responsibilities. We will
review our investment policy annually
to ensure that it continues to align
with our charitable mission and
objectives.
