OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice provide palliative and end of life care and support to adults and children with life-limiting and terminal illnesses and respite for children and young people. The hospice is a specialist unit.

Our Adult provision offers services for North Cumbria and our Children’s Hospice provides for the whole of Cumbria. We work closely with other care providers, both statutory and voluntary, to deliver seamless care for patients.

Our Mission

'By 2025 everyone in our community with life limiting conditions and palliative care needs will have access to excellent care in the right place at the right time.'

Our Vision

'To provide care and support to people affected by life limiting illness and those who require palliative care.'

Our Values

Caring we always remember we are here for the benefit of our patients, their families and each other

Respect we are always aware of and consider the personal circumstances of others

Dignity we treat everyone as an individual

Professional

we are accountable, honest, inclusive and never stop improving

Our services

Our services to patients and family include:

Our Adult In Patient Unit (AIPU) has ten beds and operates 24/7. We staff for 8 and can flex up to 10 when needed. We provide specialist palliative care, our team has a significant skill mix, ranging from health care assistants, Nurse Associates, Registered Nurses, Team Leads, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, GPs to specialty and specialist doctors, supported by social workers, spiritual care and counsellors. We have supported our wider health and care system at times of increased pressure with 2 contracted beds with slightly relaxed criteria. We consciously maintain a close link to NHS pay scales to ensure we attract the right calibre of staff and have been able to stay well recruited.

Our children’s unit, Jigsaw, has 5 beds but is open on average 7 nights and 9-10 days every fortnight to make the best use of our staff. We rarely have more than 3 young people in at a time depending on acuity and required skill mix to support specific conditions. When we have end-of-life we flex our staffing to support the family’s needs. This year we have additionally employed a play, education and activity worker and are focusing on transition work for our older young people for whom there are no local adult specialist services.

Fundraising Complaints

We received one formal complaint related to fundraising in the 15 months ending 31st March 2023. The concerns raised were fully and formally investigated and, while the complaint wasn't upheld, as a result we have further tightened the process around donor handling with a quicker turnaround from donation to thank you.

Compliance with laws and regulations

The Chief Executive reports to the Board of Trustees and meets regularly with the Chairman. The Board of Trustees meet quarterly, and the senior managers attend these meetings. Minutes from all sub-committees are circulated to the Board of Trustees.

We will continue to monitor data about this service.”

STRATEGIC REPORT

We have recently reviewed progress against our 2019-2025 strategy to understand the progress we have made. face. As providers of high-quality end of life care services, we aim to widen, improve, and increase access to our services for the communities we support and help those from diverse and underrepresented groups and in remote communities to access palliative and end of life care that helps them achieve their preferred place of care or death. We set the same targets for our Jigsaw Children’s Hospice that serves the whole of Cumbria. We will be developing an updated strategy for 2024-2029 in the year ahead.

Having navigated the uncertainty and obstacles of the covid pandemic, we continue to face challenges around cost-of-living. However, our active focus on sustainability and managing our money in the context of what we need both now and into the future, along with some substantial legacies means we are in a much stronger position than recent years. While our reserves are very healthy, we have commitments we know we will have to meet and are mindful of the challenges facing the UK economy and future health commissioning decisions.

The demand for our services will continue to increase and we are committed to making hospice care accessible locally to all who need or want it, and to playing our part in improving the quality and consistency of palliative care. We will share our expertise through educating and supporting others, working with partners and keeping the needs of our community at the forefront of all we do.

We recognise the importance of working with teams and services across the community and we are committed to continuing to grow key partnerships to strengthen care pathways and access to seamless palliative and end of life services for our communities. We continue to work closely with our colleagues to understand and meet the evolving needs of patients and develop and transform our services and teams to meet changing health and care demand. We are committed to developing partnerships to develop accessible patient pathways that help us deliver the high-quality care and produce evidence to demonstrate best outcomes for patients, their families and carers.

Our five strategic aims:

  1. To transform our hospice provision to enhance the capacity of other provision

  2. To improve access to, and quality of our inpatient and day hospice provision.

  3. To develop an appropriate environment to facilitate the highest quality care for all our patients.

  4. To ensure our financial stability and security.

  5. To provide high quality education and training and deliver research-based practice.

FUNDRAISING ARRANGEMENTS

The Marketing and Income Generation team were continued to be challenged in 2022 due to the cost-of-living crisis. We minimised our reliance on events due to the large outlay these can incur and focussed our efforts in other areas, most notably in community fundraising and lottery where we saw strong results. We saw significant increases in all costs associated with our retail operation which we continue to monitor to ensure our profit remains as high as possible.

Along with another strong year for legacies and having the department back at pre covid staffing levels, our income budget was achieved, and a positive variance realised.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

After reporting strong results for 2021, we entered the 2022-23 period with significant, positive reserves. Primarily due to exceptional income.

The accounts for the 15 months ending 31[st] March 2023 show a surplus of £2,039,569 compared to a surplus of £4,494,191 as reported in the previous 12 months’ period. Total incoming resources amounted to £7,933,693 of which £2,432,979 was restricted towards specific needs and projects.

The Hospice has continued to receive the statutory grants which together amount to approximately 20% of total expenditure requirements.

The total income of £7,933,693 was £2,620,276 above budget due to the continuance of emergency funding into the early part of 2022, exceptional legacies, strong fundraising activity and the receipt of a one-off grant of £499,575, which is restricted towards the development of the Jigsaw facilities. This surplus, over budget, ensured the charity enters the 2023-24 period in a strong financial position.

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023

It is recognised that this level of income is not easily repeatable, despite on-going monitoring of pipeline funds, and therefore we cannot be reliant on income of this level in the future. Total incoming resources, for the 15 months ended 31[st] March 2023 are analysed as follows: -

Expenditure continued to be carefully managed throughout 2022-23 with more than 68% of our costs continuing to be attributed to staffing costs. We undertook an extensive review of salary levels across all departments in 2022, to ensure staff are recognised, rewarded, and valued for the excellent work they provide in all areas of the charity.

A planned programme of investment into the facilities of the hospice continued in 2022-23 and is expected to continue through 2023 and beyond. 2022-23 saw extensive improvement works resulting in a spend on repairs and renewals exceeding the budgeted figure by £22,458.

Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023

In 2022-23, the total expenditure incurred was £5,861,538 which was £51,059 below budget. This clearly highlights how the charity has worked hard to control costs across all areas of the charity, whilst ensuring the high standard of services, both clinically and publicly. The total expenditure for the 15 months ending 31[st] March 2023, was split as follows: -

----- Start of picture text -----
Expenditure in 2023
Fundraising
6% Shop expenditure
9% Lottery expenditure
7% Medical and family support salaries
40%
Nursing and care salaries
7%

Property and equipment costs
House keeping and laundry
27%
Other direct costs
Support costs
----- End of picture text -----

The 2022-23 budget indicated a post-depreciation deficit of £599,210 due to the expected impact of the continuance of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cost-of-living crises and general economic uncertainty. The exceptional incoming resources together with the high level of budgetary control ensured the surplus of £2,039,569 exceeded the budgets by some margin.

Financial forecast

The 2023-24 budget has been prepared with a great deal of prudence and is forecasting a post-depreciation deficit of £630,606. Total incoming resources have been budgeted at £5,731,255, with expenditure budgeted at £6,361,861.

The charity continues with its planned investment in the facilities, resulting in higher the average spends on buildings and equipment. Considering the increase in the National Minimum Wage, which occurred in April 2023, the charity undertook another extensive review of salaries and increased salaries across all departments by a minimum of 5%.

Grant funding from local commissioners (North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board) is expected to fall under heavy scrutiny and the Children’s grant funding from the Department of Health remains under pressure. The Hospice will continue to liaise with these external partners and be fully engaged in all funding reviews.

Senior Management Pay Policy Statement

The directors of the charitable company are the board of trustees, who all give their time freely. No trustees received remuneration.

- 13 -

Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023

The Senior Management Team comprises the key management personnel of the Charity, responsible for directing and controlling the day-to-day operations of the Hospice. The pay of senior management positions is considered and agreed by the People Services Sub-Committee and any changes to pay and remuneration and appointments to senior management positions must be approved by this sub-committee and ratified by the Board of Trustees. The Pay Policy and associated controls applies equally to all staff including senior management. External benchmarking and other market factors are considered when setting the remuneration of senior management positions.

Our Reserves

The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the Charity in period and a Reserves Policy and an Investment Policy has been recently updated and approved.

The cash held as at 31[st] March 2023 was £9,838,392. The net surplus recorded in the period to 31[st] March 2023 was £2,039,569 was a welcome improvement on the anticipated deficit budget.

The Charity’s total net assets are valued at £14,362,899. This is split between restricted and unrestricted funds. Restricted funds are valued at £3,126,588 (22%). Unrestricted funds are valued at £11,236,311(78%). Its working capital, which is expressed by Net Current Assets, is £10,420,145.

The Charity's unrestricted reserves have accumulated providing reserves equivalent to 21 months' operating costs. Our Reserves Policy expects 6 months operating costs as an absolute minimum. This adheres to the reserves policy statement to provide sufficient cash flow resilience and a buffer for uninterrupted services and is in line with Hospice UK recommendations. It also reflects flexibility for Trustees to move urgent works around energy sustainability and infrastructure being developed.

The strong level of reserves brought forward into the 2023-24 period has enabled the trustees to designate unrestricted reserves to specific projects. The designation of reserves, which have been agreed at a Board of Trustees’ meeting are: -

Staff development £250,000
Outreach projects £250,000
Capital improvements £750,000
Energy Innovation £1,000,000
Contingency £3,000,000
Building maintenance £250,000
General £5,736,311

All designated reserves above, bar Contingency, are expected to be undertaken over the next 12 to 24 months.

The group’s current level of unrestricted free reserves (total funds less the amount held in fixed assets, restricted funds and designated funds) is £2,072,777.

Tangible fixed assets of £3,674,444 are held for use by the group (unrestricted fund £615,097, restricted fund £3,059,347) and can only be realised by the disposal of these assets.

Investment policy

The Board of Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle has an approved Investment Policy and has delegated investment decisions to the Finance, Asset and Risk committee. The committee has responsibility for agreeing the strategy, monitoring the investments and ensuring funds are placed in ethical investments wherever possible.

The charity has investments with Brewin Dolphin with a specific detailed investment policy including low/medium risk products and the right to exclude those companies that carry out activities contrary to the charity’s aims. The fund managers have a discretionary mandate to best invest in suitable products. The Finance,

Asset and Risk committee regularly reviews the performance of the investments from information provided by the investment manager.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Over the last 15 months we have concentrated on:

As specialists in palliative care provision, we are stepping up to play our part in meeting the pressures on health and care services, and have invested in improvements to make our services and facilities more resilient and robust so we can sustain them into the future.

We were made aware of an opportunity to purchase land at the rear of Jigsaw late in 2022. We went through a process of reviewing the cost and impact of both buying and failing to buy the field with Trustees. We concluded it would provide valuable flexibility for the future and was vital as a 'defensive purchase' to ensure we retain the peaceful atmosphere of the hospice grounds without having housing built up to our boundaries. The sale completed at the end of May 2023.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle (the 'charity') for the period ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023

OTHER INFORMATION

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle (continued)

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 20232023

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Durdar Road, Carlisle, Cumbria, CA2 4SD.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The financial statements have been prepared for a 15 month period therefore the comparative 12 month figures are not entirely comparable. The accounting period was extended the bring it in line with the main grant funding received.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the charitable company and all group undertakings. These are adjusted, where appropriate, to conform to group accounting policies. As a consolidated statement of financial activities is published, a separate statement of financial activities for the parent company is omitted from the group financial statements by virtue of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the group.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant judgements

The trustees consider there to be no significant judgements made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies.

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The trustees consider there to be no key sources of estimation uncertainty.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and are split between capital funds and income funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

- 26 -

Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Period from 1 January 2022 to 31 March 2023

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipts its recognised as deferred and included in creditors as deferred income.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Taxation

The parent charitable company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the parent charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within the categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

The group taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items

recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Any intangible assets carried at revalued amounts, are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation, as determined by reference to an active market, less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible assets

Individual tangible fixed assets, costing £1,000 or more, are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Leasehold Property Improvements - 10% straight line Hospice Land and Buildings - 20 and 40 years straight line Furniture and Equipment - 10% straight line and 15% and 25% reducing balance Motor Vehicles - 25% reducing balance

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Cash held within the investment portfolio has been classified as a current asset within cash and bank since it is considered to be a short term, highly liquid investment.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to is present location and condition.

Debtors

Trade debtors and other debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts. Prepayments are calculated as amounts paid during the financial year, but which relate to a future financial period. Accrued income is recognised where the entity is entitled to the income in the financial year, but the receipt does not occur until a future financial year.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charitable company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Accruals are calculated as amounts relating to the financial year, but which are paid for after the year end. Deferred income includes amounts received in the financial year for income relating to future financial periods.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Outstanding pension contributions are at the year end are included within other creditors.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute to the assets of the company, in the event of the same being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member, for payment of the debts and liabilities of the company contracted before he or she ceases to be a member, and of the costs, charges and expenses of winding up, and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves, such amount as may be required not exceeding £1.
