Availability and adequacy of assets of oaeh of the funds
The board of truslees is Satisfied that the Gharity's assets in each fund are available and
adequate lo fuffil its obligations in Tespect of each fund.
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed and revi&ws and systems to
mitigate them.
The major risk the charity faces is the financial impact of the cost of living crisis on overhead$,
together with the rising costs of energy.
Vvith the Unpre￿dented amounts of government spending on the numerous schemes to prolo¢l
the economy, there is a signrfic8nt risk that MO￿ austerity measures will be brought in in thè
coming months and years limiting tho amo*Jnl of public spending available for grant purposes
which will potentially impact on the charitys, future income. To mitigate, the charity is constantly
monitoring for new sources of funding, as well as looking at cost control measures as a means to
limit the impact of a drop in government spending on education grants.
Factors likely to affect future financial perfomiance.
Future financial perfomiance wi11 potentially be significantly impacted by the level of funding
available from the government given the spending undertaken by the UK government to protect
the economy from the effects of the energy cost crisis.
