Red Alert:High Risk of Shortfall

Maybe a no brainer for people on the forum but I have a question. I received a letter today telling me that my £30,000 endowment is ‘red’ and I will shortfall by £2000 at the end of its term in exactly one year.
Should I use an available £10,000 to pay off a chunk or hang in? Or should I put the money in a fixed bond and use it to pay the shortfall?
