which they believe the Group is exposed, these have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main areas of concern that have been identified are: Damage to the building, property and equipment. The Group would request the use of buildings, property and equipment from neighbouring organisations such as the church, community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations. The Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss. Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities. Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income. The Committee could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently. Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group. Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities for all young people aged 6 to 18. If there was a reduction in membership in a particular section or the group as whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group. **Risk and Internal Control (Specimen 2)** The group has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all payments and a comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.

|Brief statement of the charity’s policy on<br>reserves|**Reserves Policy**||
||The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to<br>continue the charitable activities of the group should income and<br>fundraising activities fall short. The Group Executive Committee<br>considers that the group should hold a sum equivalent to 12<br>months running costs, circa £6000||
||||
||The Group held reserves of approximately £22.000 against this<br>at year end. This is above the level required for operating<br>expenses. However this can be explained by obtaining the<br>Corvid virus grants. Much of this money is earmarked for the<br>continued refurbishment of the building and renewing out of date<br>equipment||

|• investment policy and objectives;|||
||**Investment Policy**||
||The Group does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer<br>term investments. The Group has therefore adopted a risk<br>averse strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds are held<br>in cash using only mainstream banks or building societies.||
