Reserves are needed to maintain funds so that grants can be made and property maintenance carried out when income falls below current expenditure. It is the policy of the trustees to maintain existing reserves to enable future funding of projects out of the investment income. Reserves at the financial year end amounted to £207,950, none of which was restricted. ## **Review of activities and future developments** During the year the Trust made grants available to the various projects, as set out in the financial statements. A number of grant applications were received and duly considered by the Trustees. Presentations were requested so that the Trustees might gain a clear insight into the work of the organisations and the expected impact that might result from funding by the Trust. In 2023 the Trust’s income exceeded its outgoings by £11,987. ## **Risk Assessment** The Trustees confirm that the major risks to which the charity is exposed have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate those risks.
