Mark George KC, who had been a Trustee Sin 2008, was instrumental in developing- and a regular speaker at - our highty-regarded biannLkql trainiTrJ programme and in the creats.on of the renowned Amitusjoumal He also instigated a regular annual programme of awareness- and fund-rai%ng tslks across the UK. MarS experience and wisdom, his active involvemert in our will te 5(xety missed. Peter Prgle, akmg with his wrfe Sunny Jacobs, had been a Patron for over 15 years.

The Charity believes the amended policy better refiects the relevant reqU1ments of the 9)RP. The amendments and their impact on the finanoal statements are set out as fotlows.. Affi/Mte donation5 from L7w firn andun1 Previously, these donations were recognised as r1ved. Under the new accounting F¢Jlicy, they are recognised when invoicoj pursuant to pledge agreements, that is, on an acixols basis. The effett of the change in accountin9 policy in the cuent rerting period was to recoyntse income of £8,771 and a debtor balano of same amowrt at the rep)rtir¥J period end ttst would otherwise not have been recognised. The Charity does not believe the effect of appng ths accounting Oicy to the prior reporting period would be material. AccordiThJly. it has not restated the pri reporting per. £4,000 relating to amounts invoiced in the wior reporting peri¢Jl vrds reccmjnised in the cUrnt rewrtirwJ pericmj on a cash received &ftA pVIOUSlY Gift was recognised on receipt from HM Revewe & Customs.

Gift Aid of £3,545 relating to donations ceIvable in the prior retK¥tir¥J perK%l was recognised in the current reportirwj period on a C3sh received basis. (n) Recognition of donated facilities and services The Charity incorrectly omitted the recognitic of fn)m donated faciifcEs and seNitts, and the equal and opwsite expense, from the prior reporting period's financial siatements. Since the error has no bearing on the reFiJrted surplus or reseNes for pr¥)r rep)rting period, the Charity does not believe the error is material and therefye has Ctrn not to restate the prior reporting perKd. The irKorne from, and equal and opposite expense rebated to, donated facilities aThJ se10$ in the current reF•Jting period was £24,852. 14-
