These risks are reviewed, and syslems revised ol meeting5 duiing Ihe year involving the trustees and 5eni<x managers. Another key rk for Gidguiding is Ihal the girls and young women who wanl to join us do r1ot have access lo guiding. We are managing this risk through the exisling Growth and Relention slrategy and Ihis has been furlher enhanced with the resull of a nationol applicalion to the DCM5 fu fund5 to offer mcfe places.

There are no restrictions on the chority's power &b Girlguidlng
Glrlguldlng Anglla Annual Report Year ended 31 December 2023 to invest. An investment strategy is set by the trustees every five years, wilhin an overall agreed policy in which investment is in a low- and medium- risk portfolio. with a view to ensurin9 that capital appreciation of such investments exceeds inflation over five-year period. Our investments did not perform os well a5 we had hoped in 2022, due to the Ukraine situation. The Trustees reviewed the performance ond felt the slralegy should remain unchanged and we should wait for a recovery before chonging the policy. This was justified in 2023 as the investment recovered. Reserves Pollcy Girfguiding Anglia hos Restricted Reserves of £123.30512022 ." £51.2421 as detailed in Note 19. These are govemed by restrictions when they were received. In addition out of the Unrestricfed Reserves of £4.178.90212022 . £3.911.8711 a total of £141,541 has been designated for specific purpose5 by the charity's trustees12022 . £87,622). See Note 19 for details. Free reserves represent Ihe working capital of the Association available lo support short and medium term objectives ar)d lo safeguard against unexpected decreases in income. It is the policy of Girlguiding Anglia to maintain unrestricted funds, (after ollowing for fixed assets) which ore the free reserves of the chority that exceed the nexl six months forecast expenditure including any planned projects or capital expenditure. This policy is reviewed by Ihe Board of Trustees on an annual bosis and in times of uncertainty may be varied. For the year ended 31 December 2023 our free reserves are £1,358.5591£1,137.475 in 20221 oher the deduction of unrestricted tongible assels and investments. Six months expenditure and capital commitments have been calculated al £842.8581£861.964 in 2022). The current level of reseNes remains significantly higher than these commitments, however the Trustee5 feel that the additional expenditure required to grow guiding oclivities across the region means the level of reserves is appropriale, and would allow for ony drop in income.. Fundralslng Pollcy Girlgulding Anglia does not normally undertake any fundraising actlvities from the public. either directly or using an agency. A5 such. we do nol currently subscribe lo a fundraising code or regulation.
