TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022
1.0 Introduction
The trustees are pleased to present their Annual Directors’ Report together with financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
2.0 Chairperson’s Welcome
The past year has signalled a year of change for Riverside in many ways. Almost a year ago to the day, I took on the role of Chair of Trustees and it has been a privilege to discover first-hand the breadth and depth of the work Riverside does in the West End. From the invaluable support we have offered to hundreds of members of our community in gaining EU settled status following the UK leaving the EU, to the free activities and lunches provided in school holidays to families in need. From the women’s groups that offer a safe space to discuss and share, to tailored welfare support for people across our communities, Riverside has undoubtably changed lives and saved lives. We have been redoubling our efforts to reach community members despite negotiating Covid restrictions. As we have moved back to activities in person during the past year, we are finding that the appetite for face-to-face activities is above and beyond what it was before the pandemic. I hope this has helped to contribute to overcoming some of the social isolation and loneliness that so many people have experienced since we were hit by Covid.
One of the biggest changes for the organisation is the retirement of our outgoing Chief Executive, Anne Bonner. For all of you that know Anne, you will be aware that she was not just Chief Executive but a long-time supporter and friend of Riverside. Anne was a champion for the local community, standing up for what she believes is right and fighting for those who need it. As a

small token of our appreciation for everything Anne has done, we have named the new upstairs part of the Carnegie Building after her, which we invite you to visit next time you’re at the Carnegie Building. It’s been with pleasure to welcome our new Chief Executive, Kate Mukungu, to the helm and I can say with confidence that she has hit the ground running since starting early in 2022. We know that with times of change comes uncertainty, so I would like to extend my thanks to all of the staff team, volunteers and Trustees for their work, commitment, and trust in this period of transition.
A last thing to celebrate is Riverside gaining the Trusted Charities Mark for the next three years, having been assessed against a series of indicators aligned with 11 quality areas. This will provide the grounding for our strategy development that will be the focus of our upcoming work, ensuring that we are continuing to centre the needs of our communities to tackle poverty, inequalities and social injustice in the West End.
With best wishes

3.2 Strategic Objectives
Our strategic objectives are set to reflect our commitment to addressing the impact of inequalities and poverty on the health of the community. Each year our Trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. Our strategic objectives are:
-
To support children to raise their aspirations and improve their life chances
-
To support parents to counter disadvantage
-
To support women to counter disadvantage and influence decisions that affect them, their families and communities
-
To support local community organisations to build their capacity to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and communities
-
To work with others to improve community cohesion to improve the life experiences of local people
3.3 Principles that Guide our Work
Riverside recognises the impact of inequalities and poverty on the health of individuals and communities and seeks to redress this balance through collective action. It is well established that some communities are disadvantaged and are not benefiting from overall improvements that occur in the UK. Those who are less well off financially are likely to die younger and spend more of their lives with ill-health than those who come from more affluent communities. Some people are additionally disadvantaged, e.g. lone parents, disabled people and those who do not speak English as a first language. In working towards and achieving our objectives the following principles underpin our practice:
-
Using community development approaches to all our work
-
Ensuring organisational excellence

4.0 Services and Activities
Our activities are developed to meet the identified needs of the local community. We deliver the majority of our services in the Carnegie Building, although we also work in other community locations and carry out some home visits. We consider the following important aspects of our work:
-
Provision of first step support for individuals, on issues of family, and women's health and well being
-
Support to communities of interest, identity and geography, to address issues that affect them
-
Working to ensure people in the community have access to resources – information, space, equipment, crèche and people
-
A vehicle through which local perspectives can be expressed and acted on
-
Provision of space for community activities
We already learned last year how adept we were are adjusting to change, when we managed to quickly revamp our services to accommodate covid restrictions. We did not know we could deliver sessions, such as baby massage training online until it was necessary. However, whilst we carried on delivering some services remotely this year, feedback from community members was that most wanted to return to the centre as quickly as possible. For this report we are breaking the support down into various sections. However, it is important to acknowledge that many forms of intersect, as people have multiple aspects to their identity and multiple needs arising from their situations.

4.1 Children and Family Support
The importance of parents' and carers’ roles in the lives of children is recognised as crucial to children’s’ physical and emotional health development. We deliver a number of parent / carer and child sessions which we strongly believe help lay the foundations for children to get the best possible start in life. These include supported play sessions where children, alongside their parents / carers, learn through play and develop good relationships and social skills. We provide a number of sessions from when baby is born through to when the child starts nursery. This is because the first 1001 critical days from pregnancy to two years are the most important time for babies’ brain development and, by far, the fastest development in a person’s lifetime. Our goal is for every baby to experience a nurturing environment to ensure they benefit from this important developmental stage.
Regular groups we offered over the year include:
Baby Massage
This programme is for parents/carers with babies under 12 months. Baby massage is a lovely way to enjoy time with your baby. Before babies are able to understand language, we often

communicate and comfort them through touch. If a baby cries parents will hold and cuddle or stroke them. baby massage is part of this natural impulse. Nurturing touch and positive communication help build strong and trusting relationships between babies and caregivers and these are some of the benefits - helps calm and relax both parent and baby, boosts parents’ confidents in handling their baby, Boosts the immune systems and helps babies to sleep more deeply and for longer, aids digestion and helps relieve colic and wind and constipation.
My Baby and Me
This is a 1-hour weekly session for parents/carers and babies under 12 months. Each week this class focusses on bonding and celebrating becoming a parent. Parents are supported to take their child on a journey, explore ways to play with their child and nurture their desire to interact with their child. These new skills lay the foundation for everything they do as parents. We provide activities that encourage parents to engage in floor-based play and interaction. This session provides opportunity for parents to discover and learn with their baby and build secure attachment
First Words Together
This session is aimed at families with children aged from birth-2 years old. This session is aimed at promoting early language development skills using a range of specific activities with children and their parents. This is a 5-week programme and each week focused on a ‘top tip’ that parents can use with their children. Each tip helps promote early language development skills and encourage positive interaction between parent and child. Each week, the families receive one book to take home and share together.
Boogie Bairns
This session is for families with children from birth to 2 years. This is sensory play session, using a disco theme. We have lots singing as well as exploring lots of musical instruments and puppets which helps support early communication and language skills.

Breakfast Club
This session is for families with children from 6mths to 4 years. Each week we provide a healthy breakfast for parents to try new nutritious low-cost recipe ideas and to include the children in the preparing of the meals as they are more likely to try new foods this way. Children are encouraged to chop their own fruit and chose what they would like to eat.
Toddle Time
This session is for children aged 12months to 2 years. Each week we provide activities that enhance spatial awareness and improve cognitive and physical development. Parents / carers are supported to think about their child’s interests and respond to their ideas to gain a greater understanding of each other.
Incredible Years Parenting Programme - School Age Children
This programme is aimed at parents with children aged between 6 and 12 years. The idea behind Incredible Years is to help build parents confidence and abilities in limit setting, tackling challenging behaviour, promoting that parent-child relationship and also promoting children’s social, emotional, and academic development. Video clips of real-life situational vignettes to support the training and stimulate parenting group discussions, problem solving, and practice exercises are used throughout the delivery of the programme.
We also offer a wide range of support including Early Help Plans. Also known as early intervention, Early Help Plans set out the support to be provided when family problems first emerge. An Early Help Plan can be instigated at any stage in a child or young person's life, up to 19 years. Finally, we organise a programme of summer activities for families designed to enhance family life and alleviate holiday hunger, which we know can be a problem for families in receipt of school meals. This school holiday work, called Best Summer Ever, is co-ordinated with a wide variety of local organisations.

Our work with parents / carers and young children is in partnership with organisations involved in the Children and Families Newcastle. Indeed, Carnegie Building is a community hub as part of the overall offer of Children and Families Newcastle.
4.2 Training and Volunteering Project
Training
Riverside brokers training for local community members, hosts the training in Carnegie Building and recruits / registers community members on to courses that are delivered by formal training organisations. During the previous year Covid-19 impacted the way our services were delivered and changed our focus to fit with the needs of the local community. From April 2021, based on community feedback, we prioritised brokering a wide range of employability and accredited courses. We communicated between training providers and members of the local community to develop a programme which reintroduced face to face participation after the social isolation and remote learning / support.
Several of the courses delivered in Carnegie Building have a very obvious focus on employability, for example, Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools, Beauty Therapy, or Security Industry Authority Badge Training (for those wanting to work in the night-time economy). Two new courses Cake Decorating and Beauty Therapy have had proven extremely popular and we have had to repeat the courses during the year to keep up with demand. Several training courses we arrange can also help people with integration such as ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), or revisit subjects from school to achieve a positive outcome, such as Functional Skills in Maths. Many of the training courses address sensitive issues, such as Adverse Childhood Experiences.
Volunteering
Since coming out of pandemic restrictions we have slowly been building the volunteer project back up by working with local organisations and schools to provide volunteer placements for community members. See case study example, below:

Case Study
K came to Riverside to attend our Early Years sessions with her young son. She talked to our staff about being put under pressure from Universal Credit to find employment now that her child was moving into part time school. As part of a *Signal discussion, K stated she was nervous and anxious about accessing the job market after having been out of working for the last 4 years. K was referred to our training and volunteer project, funded by Community Led Local Development (CLLD) project and was supported by staff to access a Teaching Assistant and employability course. Our staff engaged with K thereafter when she registered as a volunteer with Riverside. K supported staff members with delivering our Early Years sessions to gain experience along with her Teaching Assistant course. We worked with K to help her to produce a CV, apply for jobs and mock interviews. This encouraged and gave K confidence to attend interviews. She went onto actively look for part-time employment and has since gained part-time employment in a local school.
*Signal is a tool used in our Community Led Local Development funded project, which helps people identify their needs and encourages them to choose the change areas they wish to prioritise.
WE have also supported community members to take on the role of Covid Champions, rolling out key health messages on Covid to their peers. This work has been in partnership with Newcastle City Council, Connected Voice Haref, and a range of community based organisations.
4.3 Providing Welfare and Practical Supporting to a Diverse Range of People
Our staff team has worked to provide a wide range of practical support to community members, including linking them to resources to help them deal with financial hardship caused by the ongoing effects of austerity, poverty and challenges related to covid. For example, we supported twenty-nine households, families, or individuals to avail themselves of the Hardship Fund, developed by the British Red Cross, in partnership with Aviva and the Aviva Foundation. This fund provided financial support to individuals who were already financially at risk before the coronavirus outbreak and, whose financial situation deteriorated due to the crisis. Fund beneficiaries include people who lacked recognised legal status, people with no or in temporary

accommodation, families living below the poverty line, people facing domestic or sexual and gender-based violence, people with no access to stable income sources, people who have been required to shield, people with a significant deterioration in their mental health and people with a significant deterioration in the physical health. We also supported families to access basic toiletry packs through our association with Inkind, a UK charity focused on distributing consumer products, donated by companies to charitable organisations. Riverside purchased essential goods from Inkind, to give to seventeen families in need, in response to the severity of the situations they were experiencing.
A major component of the practical support we offered this year was to support almost two thousand people from EU countries, people living in Newcastle to apply for settled status, under the EU Settlement Scheme. We were successful in securing an extension of funding from the Home Office to continue delivering the project until March 2022. Although we managed to resume this vital service very early last year after the first covid lock down, it has remained a busy project through this year and we have had to work hard to meet the demand. We continue to work in partnership with Children’s Society and the North East Law Centre, with Riverside being the lead agency and accountable body for this partnership. Our experienced multi-lingual staff team has continued to offer wider practical support as part of settlement, including support to register with GPs and dentists, school registrations and access to housing and benefit advice.
4.4 Women’s Groups
Our programme of activities for women offers a range of opportunities. We seek to support women to identify the inequalities they face and raise their confidence and self-esteem to bring about changes to improve their lives. Many of the seventy-two women who attended these groups are relatively newly arrived in the locality whilst others have lived locally all of their lives.

Romanian Women’s Group
Women in the group have engaged in various activities, such as learning about the history of Newcastle, gardening, and cooking. They have fed their ideas to Northumbria Police and Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue about how they can engage positively with communities. They have supported after school activities with learners from Newcastle and Gateshead, encouraging them to interact with each other. Together with Reviving the Heart of the West End, the group was involved in a project called WHY – We are Here for You. As part of this project, women were involved in organising an even to show their creative skills. This event was attended by various guests, including Mayor and Lady Mayoress (see photograph below) . Part of the approach used in this group is to encourage conversational English, to aid women’s integration.
Czech / Slovak Speaking Women’s Group
Women in the group have engaged in a wide variety of activities. They have engaged in arts and crafts, shared with each other about different Czech, Slovak and Roma music and traditions, for example, at Christmas. They have met with practitioners from Newcroft Clinic, Job Centre Plus and Newcastle Careers Service. They have also explored a range of issues such as mental health awareness, internet safety, supporting children through difficult experiences, such as bullying.

Women First
We worked in partnership with The Angelou Centre as lead organisation, Fourth Action and Crest on the Women First Project, until September 2021. This two-and-a-half-year European Social Fund project focused on supporting women to get closer to the job market. We offered a wide range of accredited, informal learning and development opportunities including volunteering. We offered childcare on site and provided language support through a number of different ways; interpreting, translation of resources, one to one support in the groups. This mix of methods enabled women for whom English is a second language to participate at a level appropriate to their needs. We offered welfare rights advice (level one) on site and signposted women to partner organisations for more specialist advice on housing, debt and other issues that needed to be addressed so that they could be work ready. The women received support on an ongoing basis, not just while they were engaged in the programme, which we believe increases their likelihood of successfully move into work. Riverside supported 48 women, 11 of whom went on to paid employment during the lifespan of the project.
Time to Talk Group
The Time to Talk Group started during the year as a weekly space for women from a range of backgrounds and nationalities to come together in conversation. The goal is to encourage diverse women to get to know and support each other. Whilst women are encouraged to speak in English where they feel they can, informal interpretation is provided among group members, whilst some become more confident and conversing in English.

Staying Afloat
We continued to offer the Staying Afloat course this year. Staying Afloat supports women who have experienced challenges or difficulties and encouraged them to focus on their inner strengths to deal with these experiences. Staying Afloat uses a range of approaches including group activities, crafts and discussion. This year nine women attended and a range of positive outcomes were reported, from an increase in self-confidence to increased abilities to deal with challenges.
International Women’s Day
In addition to the regular women’s groups, we had a large gathering of over sixty women for International Women’s Day on 8[th] March 2022 (see photo below). Focussed on the theme ‘breaking the bias’, we produced a video of the event celebrating the wonderful women in our community. The amazing rap in the video was written with young rappers from New Writing North. The video is available on our YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/Hhbee7pU5ow .

4.5 Research and Policy Work
- Photos Speak
The Photos Speak project arose from a genuine interest in finding out what it is like for families with young children to live in the West End of Newcastle. Riverside Community Health Project and Action for Children came up with the idea of using photos as a way for families to communicate what their everyday life is like. Eleven families, nine of whom are involved with Riverside, were kind enough to gift us with their participation. The Photos Speak report, available on our website, encourages us to reflect on how, collectively, we might
-
respond to multi-layered communities and support community resilience?
-
better support families who are neurodivergent?
-
build on past achievements whilst helping to meet families’, children’s and young peoples’ needs for ‘places to go and things to do’ during holidays?
Health Inequalities Research with Connected Voice HAREF and Partners
In addition to recruiting facilitators and participants for this research on inequalities experienced by different groups and ethnicities, we contributed to the authorship of the research report. Key findings relate to the:
-
The importance of established trusted connections to communicated accurate health information
-
The need to involve communities, organisations and individuals to break down communication barriers
-
The crux of effective information sharing being trust and collaboration between community members and practitioners
-
Mental Health Research with Connected Voice HAREF and Partners
We recruited facilitators and participants which focused on mental health and wellbeing concerns of different groups and ethnicities. Recommendations made by participants, captured in this report, challenge us to:
-
Decrease stigma
-
Improve Cultural awareness and increase the cultural diversity of practitioners
-
Seek alternatives to traditional western approach to mental illness

‘ Making the Economy work for Everyone’
We engaged in ‘ Making the Economy work for Everyone,’ an initiative organised by Church Action on Poverty North East. As part of this process, we shared perspectives on the barriers and pathways to participating in the economy to North of Tyne Combined Authority’s Inclusive Economy Board. The purpose was to help them contextualise the challenges as they develop their policies and programmes (See picture below).
- Hosting a Visit by the North of Tyne Mayor
In March 2022 were visited by Jamie Driscoll, North of Tyne Mayor. He wrote about the visit thereafter in this blog If we want a better future we must invest in people from which we quote:
“A couple of weeks ago I visited the Children and Families Newcastle Hub in Benwell to see how the magic happens. It’s based in the Carnegie Building, a grand old library on Atkinson Road. At a buzzing ‘stay and play’ session, surrounded by toddlers, local families told me how the centre had supported them during difficult lockdown months. Mary, a former midwife, said the hub had boosted the confidence of her 18-month-old granddaughter. Covid meant she hadn’t played with many

other toddlers. The NHS child health clinic runs in the next room, increasing participation rates. Upstairs people are practising on first aid dummies, and getting qualified for work. And another room hosts a training course for people learning to work in the security industry.”
Jamie adds:
“If we want a better future, we must invest in people. Not close the door on them.”

4.7 Managing Carnegie Building
As a charity Riverside Community Health Project benefits from its subsidiary company, Carnegie Building'; through provision of facilities for its work with the community, and through the small surplus that the subsidiary continues to generate that is received by Riverside to contribute to its charitable work. Riverside oversees the day to day running of Carnegie Building and the majority of our service delivery is within the Carnegie Building. During the year, the income we would

ordinarily expect our subsidiary company to generate from room hire to residents and external organisations has been much reduced, due to Covid restrictions. However, this drop in earned income has been offset by government and other grants.
Six partner organisations / projects are based in the Carnegie Building. This sharing of space is part of our ethos to provide space for other valuable organisations in the heart of our community in a busy community hub. Organisations that are Carnegie Building tenants alongside Riverside Community Health Project are:
-
Success 4 All - homework clubs for children, supported by volunteers
-
Search Project – support for older people
-
Inspire Youth Tyne and Wear – mentoring and educational support for children
-
Involve North East – health focused involvement and participation organisation
-
Side Step, a project by Action for Children - children’s charity
-
JET - jobs, education and training for people from diverse BAME communities

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
For the year ended 31 March 2022
I report on the financial statements of Riverside Community Health Project for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 24 to 38
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 March 2022
1 Accounting Policies
The principle accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
2 Basis of accounting
2.1 Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts 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 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011
Riverside Community Health Project meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment the trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including their annual budget and future cash flows. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account measures that they can take with the current resources available to mitigate the impact of the current adverse conditions. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
3 Income
3.1 Recognition of income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliably.
3.2 Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.
3.3 Grants and donations
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 and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance or provision of other specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 March 2022
3.4 Donated goods and services
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so
Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA
3.5 Volunteer help
The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.
3.6 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
3.7 Income from membership subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations and legacies
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.
3.8 Investment gains and losses
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investment and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
3.9 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charities' work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
4 Expenditure and liabilities
4.1 Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty
4.2 Charitable activities
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of family support and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

4.3 Governance and support costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
4.4 Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
4.5 Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts
4.6 Provisions for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date
5 Assets
5.1 Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Straight line over life of lease (25 years) Straight line over four years
