make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 - effective 1 January 2015) - Charities SORP (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
b) Reconciliation with previously Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP)
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered how to apply the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
c) Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
d) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received
Income relating to classes, lettings and activities represent the invoiced value of services provided.
e) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred.
All expenses are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration on each activity, comprising salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned across cost categories on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities.
