The Trustee has identified six areas where risks may Govemance and management Opeialional Financial Repulalional Laws, regulations, extemal aj environment Goveman¢e and management looks at the risk of the Charity suffering from a lack ol direLtion, at the skills and training of its members and 5tsff, arKI the good ustr of its resources. The appointment of a Govemance Sul committee lo advi8e the Board and to set in place thè nècessary structures, poliryes and pro¢o¢ols is a key Strategy in mitigating this risk. Operatnal looks at the risks inherent in th8 Charity's activities. induding the Mission Awar$n¢ss Prramme carried out in parishes throughout England and Wales, It looks at the risk of members engaging in inappropriate activities. the unsuitsbility of buildings, poor maintenance. shortcomings in the services provided, difficulties th staff, poor health and safety provisions and the provision of a di5a51er recovery policy. The appoirslmenl of key appropriately trained personnel, e.g. a Child Safeguarding Officer and a Data Protection Cotsrdinalor. helps to mrtvJale these risks. Finsncial risks include those arising as a resutt of poor budgetary control, inappropriate Spending, pcM)r acGo)unting, inappropriate investnnt poliaes, foTeign curren¢y exchange, etc. The appointments of a qualified Chartefed Auntant and appropriately qualified support staff help to msti.gate these risks. RepUtstia1 looks at possib damage lo the Charity's reputation and the risk is lessened by a dedicated communications dèpartment. Laws, regulations, external and enviri)nment look al the effècts of govemmenl policies and the consequence of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The Trustee and managers are encouraged ar¥J reswrced lo avail of in-service training to update their ski15s and knowledge of the ever increasing regulatK)ns and legislation in the Charity Sector.

This is an area of growth in the Charities activities and rformance. The Soclety gratefully aCknoedge the wonderful ganèrosity of the people of England & Wales over many years and the contrsbution, both spiritually and financially. which they have made, and continue lo make, to the mi8sionary work that the Charity suppcrts. Work is ongoing in 3lre8mlining thtr aebvities of the Promotion Office through sharing the resources and experbse of our very committed and professional staff in our promob'on offIS in Kiltegan and Scotland. The weekend Parish Appe81s are a vital element of gathering and adding names to our database. This iy as important, if not more important, than the actual direct income received from the Mission Appèals. Not being ablè to gather such names in 2021 undoubtedty will have a long term negative effect on our already declining datsbase. Our database has reduced to nineteen thousand members. due to a clean up before the rW datsbase was instslled. Tldying up our database and removing any inactive memr$ r¢mains an on90ing task. We are very conscious of increasing expenditure costs and continuing efforts are made to redu¢e them whe possible. One of our largest expenditure streams is postage. We continue to make every effort lo redu this as much as possible and especially by inviting peo1 to allow us to aCknOedge their gener05rty by email and text athnowledgment rather than by letter.
