As such, Cur Solutions busine38 was £1.1m behind otjr budgeted numbÈr, leading lo lolal revenue being £0.9m behind budget although still 60h growth over 2021.

This meant that we had a sm811 deficit before investment losses for the year £0.2m {2021'. £0.9m surplus) as the strong result in 2021 meant that we could maintain our spend on charitable actiwlies in 2022. During 2022, we continued lo mov8 soma of our surplus cash into a managed mulli-assel investment fund with Cazenove Capital, as approved by the T[usl￿S in 2021. The objective of the investmtsnl policy is to protect IGD'S reserves Irom in11ation and to generate a retum above inflation to help fund fvture charilablo progr8mmes.
