Risk Mana ement The principal risk faced by the Trust lies in the performance of investments. The Trustees consider variability of investment returns on the capital Idesignaled) fund to constitute the charity's major financial risk. This is mitigated by retaining expert investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio. The Trustees have directed the investment managers lo manage the funds with a baland mandate between income and capital growth. Reserves Polic The Trustees have chosen lo designate the capital funds held by the Trust, being the original capital of the Trust, adiusled annually for income and fees related to capital and for investment gains and losses, to preserve the income generating capacity of the Trust., they have power to apply the capital and the general funds towards the charitable purposes to such an extent as they may from time to time think fit. At the end of the financial year, the Trustees aim lo hold approximately one year's total expenditure in the general fund. Structure Governance and Mana ement The Charity was formed in 1987.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The pradureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
