Note 2 Accounting policies 2.1 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income · it is more Offsetting Grants and donations Donated goods Volunteer help In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant l h th f l t d diti t (5 16 FRS 102 SORP) Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Legacies Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:  the charity becomes entitled to the resources;  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. 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. Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Income from membership subscriptions Income from interest, royalties and dividends The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Donated services and facilities This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.

Notes to the accounts (cont)
Settlement of insurance claims Grants with performance conditions 2.3 ASSETS Heritage assets Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where 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. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods sed as disclosed They are valued at cost. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed. Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Provisions for liabilities The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Creditors Governance and support costs 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 Basic financial instruments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS 102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS 102 SORP. Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed . Intangible fixed assets Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. They are valued at cost. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. They are valued at cost. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, Investments 2.2 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Redundancy cost Stocks and work in progress		Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a 
