Nahvest B8nk and £86K heky in COIF deposts. The main financial risk to
the charity is rnduced donations and fvndrnising ac￿v￿85 due to Covidt9.
The charity has no opeftbonal costs other Ihan the public liabilily
insurdnce of £1￿ per annuum. Hence. il is pmtected from immediate 17sk.
Thern is a sm811 income that the charity incurs every year fmm the COIF
