## HILLINGDON MIND TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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 14 January 2019)”
## Structure, governance and management
Hillingdon Mind is a charitable company limited by guarantee and its governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Hillingdon Mind is an independent charity affiliated to the National Association for Mental Health (Mind), and its objects are in accordance with the aims and objectives of Mind. Specifically, the charity seeks to promote good mental health wellbeing and to support and maintain persons residing in the London Borough of Hillingdon who experience various mental health conditions.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were:
V. Lewis (Chair)
D. Deacy (Treasurer)
S. Lewis
P.S. Mattoo
M.S.Chahal
J. Clark
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
The trustees form a diverse and committed body with an interest in mental health issues and the charitable company has sought to enhance the potential pool of suitable trustees through selective advertising, through Third Sector trustee recruitment agencies and networking with local governmental and council departments and like-minded organisations.
To enhance their knowledge of the practical work undertaken by the charity, trustees are encouraged to take an active role in project matters in which they have expressed an interest. The induction process covers the obligations of trustees, an introduction to the main documents which set out the operational framework including the Memorandum and Articles, resourcing and the current financial position as set out within the latest published accounts and future plans and objectives of the charity. It also includes a Code of Conduct for trustees.
The detailed organisational structure of Hillingdon Mind is subject to change, dependent upon the projects undertaken in the furtherance of the charity's objects, however, the overall organisational structure adopted provides for a board of trustees (appointed in accordance with the Articles of Association), a Charity Director, management and administration personnel, project workers and co-ordinators. The charity also makes use of, and is grateful to, its many volunteer workers.
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have established a risk register which is regularly reviewed and updated. Where appropriate, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate material risks. External risks to funding have been identified and continue to be addressed and there has been planned diversification in activity within the charitable company. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of a Schedule of Delegated Authority, and procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety and insurance issues relating to staff, volunteers and users. A 2022 review by National Mind awarded Hillingdon Mind the Mind Quality Mark with an additional award for Excellence for Workforce, Volunteers and Culture. The MQM Award from National Mind confirmed that the charity meets the agreed quality assurance standards to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity; this award is valid for four years. All procedures are reviewed ona frequency dependent on risk, from annual to bi-annual basis, to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

## HILLINGDON MIND
## TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
We maintained relationships with culturally specific third sector organisations to promote mental health awareness and to look at partnership working. We worked with HAYAT, Somaliland and the Brilliant Parents Champions to offer Mental Health First Aid Training and therefore provide opportunities for increased mental health awareness and skills development for early intervention in case of mental health crises.
## Service User Outcomes
Our Mental Health Recovery Program and Counselling both use measures which record the following outcomes:
- reduced isolation
- increased opportunities for work related activities
~ increased access to other services through sign-posting
- increase in confidence, self-esteem and independence
- "seldom heard” communities reported increased access to support
~ improved physical health and well-being - evidence of people having a stronger voice ~ increased awareness of mental health and addiction issues.
## Reduced isolation
One of the most prevalent experiences of people with mental health is social isolation and loneliness.
All the services which Hillingdon Mind operates have the specific outcome of reducing isolation for individuals through the development of peer support, friendships and social networks, and access to community spaces where relationships could be formed and maintained.
An average of 170 people per week attended our facilitated Therapeutic and Social Groups. 63% of people attending our services reported that their social isolation had improved (Recovery Star assessment feedback).
62% of people surveyed reported an improvement in levels of self-confidence after accessing our services.
Our GAD7 Scores for the year indicate 56% improvement in anxiety
Our PHQ9 Scores for the year indicate 57% improvement in depression
Service users are supported through 1-1 counselling and recovery work alongside group work and workshops to develop self-help strategies to manage their wellbeing. This includes promotion of relevant community activities that they can access to improve their social capital.

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Currently we have 82 volunteers who have provided between them 12,795 hours of work - this equates on a monetary basis to £177,210 (based on the London living wage of £13.85 p.h).
We continued to provide volunteering opportunities for service users in services operated by Hillingdon Mind and in administrative roles. However, it should be stated that these opportunities have reduced in the Mental Health Recovery Project due to the complexity of the cases being encountered - for safeguarding reasons we are having to rely on professional staff.
We have continued to offer employment and vocational support. Support provided to participants included psycho-educational approaches, coaching, job search skills, interviewing skills and peer support employment groups . The aim was to improve participants’ work readiness and match them to vacancies and education/ training opportunities.
56 people attended the Job Hub Support Group . This is part of the employment support element of the recovery program of activities. The group is facilitated by a member of staff and a peer support volunteer with a background in mental health support and careers coaching. The group continues to offer specific employability skills training and personal development workshops for people with a wide range of mental health issues. Workshops offered include Building Resilience, Managing Expectations, SMART goal setting, Managing Anxiety and other employability related topics. The team helping participants identify strengths and support with matching them to appropriate vacancies and with job search skills and advice (eg., writing CVs, interview skills, using online job-search tools).
22 people were supported back into work and 43 supported into volunteering roles by the employment support team.
35 people were supported into training or adult education, particularly IT, functional skills wellbeing and vocational training.
7,050 people received assistance including emotional first aid , mental health related advice, advice and guidance with issues around accessing benefit entitlement, housing issues, debt advice and general signposting and referral to specialist support to overcome some of these issues.
## Increase in Confidence, Self-Esteem and Independence
This was a further outcome intrinsic to the objectives of all Hillingdon Mind's services; during initial assessments in both counselling and the recovery service , these issues are discussed and evaluated. Through therapeutic and psycho-educational support, we work to improve confidence and self-esteem. We run regular psycho: educational workshops on these topics and help clients on an individual basis through counselling and 1-1 focused appointments. Clients are encouraged to access relevant courses through local organisations such as the Hillingdon Adult Learning Centres and the Recovery College as well as accessing online resources and support such as Talking Therapies, NHS inform workbooks and Mind's online resources.
62% of service users completing an evaluation report an increase in self-confidence after attending psychoeducational workshops or 1-1 sessions at Hillingdon Mind.
We continue to empower service users by exploring opportunities for service user led projects, peer support and engaging service users in volunteering opportunities. Through the promotion of self-help resources and psychoeducation we aim to give clients the tools and guidance they need to manage their wellbeing independently.

## HILLINGDON MIND
## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
## People from BAME and "seldom heard" communities reported increased access to appropriate support
Hillingdon Mind understands the multiple levels of stigma, discrimination and disadvantage that are attached to people with mental health in BAME and other "seldom heard" or "under-supported " communities and the specific difficulties members of these communities face in understanding and accessing appropriate support.
Our work in this area is evidence of a strong commitment to, and experience of, working with the wide range of diverse communities in Hillingdon and delivering support in culturally sensitive ways. We provided several projects that strove to engage members from a range of the diverse BAME communities within the borough. These projects not only provided direct support to service users through 1-1 sessions and groups but also, in many instances, to their families or "carers" as well. ‘
## Improved physical health and wellbeing
We recognise the link between mental health and poor physical health and are committed to promoting healthy life choices to improve physical health when possible. We continue to offer our Wellbeing Walks and Forest Therapy which include the promotion of good diet, self-care strategies and to encourage service users to take up exercise independently. Held in local parks, the walks are accessible to a diverse service user group including those with long term physical health conditions and enduring mental health issues. We have continued to promote Nature based activities that service users can access independently such as our Gardening and Allotment Group which has expanded to provide sites in both Uxbridge and Harmondsworth.
## Evidence of people having a stronger voice
We share information with service users, carers, and the local community about Mind campaigns at both a national and regional level.
We let service users know about opportunities to feed into Mind's policy work and how they can be involved in a range of activities that enable them to have a voice and campaign for change.

## HILLINGDON MIND
## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Hillingdon Mind continues to carry out research with service users about the barriers that prevent them from returning to work and other issues such as discrimination, stigma, managing mental health in the workplace and the experience of being unemployed with mental health issues. The results are fed back to our organisation at a national level and service users are encouraged to take part in forums to have a voice and be heard by policymakers. This has helped in the campaign for equality and policy changes to support people with mental health issues particularly around evidencing mental health when trying to claim benefit entitlement.
Hillingdon Mind is involved in the Winter Wellness Committee (a partnership between the London Borough of Hillingdon, 3rd Sector and NHS) and this gives us an opportunity to research the situation faced by our service users and share their experiences with the board to ensure they have a relevant voice.
We work closely with other third sector organisations such as POHWER and Healthwatch to empower people to share their feedback about use of different services.
Through service user forums and consultations within our group sessions, we have collected feedback and service user views on proposed developments in mental health services within Hillingdon - service users' feedback on their experiences of using GP and secondary health services. We ensure that this continues to be fedback to relevant parties ensuring that people's opinions are listened to. This helps shape the continuing development of services such as the SMI project which has led to increased engagement by people with severe mental health issues with their GP services and health checks.
Through partnership working with local higher education institutes, Hillingdon Mind service users have been supported to participate in the curriculum of key health and social care courses such as OT, Social Work and Psychology by sharing their lived experience with students during seminars and lectures.
80% of Trustees havea lived-in experience of their own mental health and this experience is seen as an integral part of the Board of Trustees.
## Increased awareness of mental health and addiction issues
Hillingdon Mind continued to deliver Mental Health Awareness sessions to local organisations and employers, the aim of which was to educate people on signs of mental health issues to support early intervention and prevention and provide knowledge on support options and self-care. Mental health issues can still cause stigma and discrimination so awareness sessions aim to challenge this and support job retention and preventative strategies in the workplace.
Mind has developed a range of tools and resources including Employee Wellness Action Plans and Workplace Wellbeing Strategies. Mind shares these resources with local organisations during awareness sessions providing an early intervention and preventative toolkit for local employers.
Throughout the year a range of awareness events were delivered via Zoom and in person. These included a program of outreach and information sessions across GP surgeries and community organisations promoting awareness of Mind's services and support options for people with mental health issues and their carers.
Other awareness sessions delivered included:
- Healthwatch and POHWER wellbeing events
- Community Wellbeing events
- PCN Roadshows
- Mental health awareness sessions delivered to Uxbridge College and Brunel University
- Interaction with local universities to enhance student training and development experience of mental health issues including promotion of service user involvement - Mental health awareness training and presentations to HAYAT community groups and Brilliant Parent Champions
- Home Office Sikh Association Webinars and Mental Health Awareness Sessions ~ Mental Health First Aid and awareness training for Primary Care Network staff across the borough
~ Mental Health Awareness Sessions with Local Care Home and Supported Living Staff Teams

## HILLINGDON MIND
## TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
## Financial review
Having service reviews agreed with key funders, projects were run to budget ensuring no further pressure was put onto reserves and the overall surplus for the year has increased the level of free reserves carried forward at the financial year end. The transactions undertaken by the charity are detailed in the statement of financial activities within the accounts and in the related notes. The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by formal Contracts for provision of mental health service and this funding primarily comes from the London Borough of Hillingdon, Hillingdon ICB and CNWL NHS Trust. The rest of the services are funded through the Big Lottery and the A P Taylor Trust.
The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves considering the main risks to the organisation and have established a policy whereby a level of uncommitted reserves approximating to a third of the charity's current annual level of income should be maintained. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The total level of uncommitted reserves held by the charity at the balance sheet date, as noted within the Statement of Financial Activities, has met that target, having shown a further improvement for the year under review, and the trustees are aware of what needs to be done to maintain a consistent level over forthcoming years.
The Finance Officer and Director provide quarterly management accounts and cash-flow reports to the Board of Trustees to assist with the effective oversight and management of the charity's finances. Whilst the charitable company continues to face challenges in securing sufficient and appropriate on-going funding, the trustees are pleased with the net surplus achieved in the year which has added to the charitable company's reserves carried forward. The budget for 2025 - 2026 indicates a projected modest surplus at the end of the financial year, based on services to be provided.
The trustees have reviewed the charity's reserves at the balance sheet date and have concluded that there are no restricted reserves to carry forward. Further details relating to restricted and unrestricted reserves are provided in the financial statements.
Whilst interest rates showed an improvement in the period under review the trustees have adopted and maintained a prudent approach with regard to investment policy and few funds were deemed suitable or available for long term investment. Consequently, and to protect the position attained by the charitable company, its funds are maintained in current and deposit accounts.
## Plans for the future
The charity will continue to provide mental health services in the London Borough of Hillingdon and is active in extending, or developing new projects to complement the existing services by working collaboratively with the ICB, CNWL NHS Trust and the London Borough of Hillingdon to identify new or enhanced services. The development of training and other methods of income generation, which will lead to long term sustainability, are also at the forefront of Hillingdon Mind's objectives for the forthcoming year.
The trustees remain mindful of the state of the charity's finances but are confident that the steps which have been implemented will allow the charity to continue its operations into the foreseeable future.
## Disclosure of information to auditor
Each of the director trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditors are unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditors are aware of such information.

## HILLINGDON MIND
## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees, who are also the directors of Hillingdon Mind for the purpose 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 trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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 TRUSTEES OF HILLINGDON MIND
## Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hillingdon Mind (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial staternents, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## 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 accounts section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts 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.
## 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 contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
## Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and
Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
.
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

## HILLINGDON MIND
## INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF HILLINGDON MIND
## Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We have considered the following matters in determining susceptibility to irregularity within these financial statements:
* We assessed the susceptibility of the entity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur.
« We considered and identified laws and regulations to which the Charity is subject and determined their significance in the context of the entity.
¢ We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity and how the entity is complying with that framework
¢ We obtained an understanding of the entity’s policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations,
« We obtained an understanding of the entity's policies and procedures on fraud risks, including knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
¢ We ensured that the audit work was undertaken by an engagement team with the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations, that any such incidences communicated and any discussions with specialists on areas of the financial statements which may be particularly susceptible to fraud have all been addressed.
° As the entity is a charitable company subject to audit we obtained an understanding of the entity’s current activities, the scope of its authorisation and the effectiveness of its control environment.
We considered how our approach to the audit has affected the likelihood of detection of irregularities in explaining the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities and took into account:
- the inherent difficulties in detecting irregularities;
- the effectiveness of the entity's controls; and
- the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed.
Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error and our responsibilities for the engagement will mean that detection of those types of irregularity which give rise to a risk of material misstatement are those on which we may be able to provide the most comprehensive explanation.
-17-
## HILLINGDON MIND
## INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF HILLINGDON MIND
## Audit response to risks identified
Our audit response to risks identified incorporated but was not limited to the following:
- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims.
- Enquiry of entity staff in compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
- Reviewing minutes of meetings, where available, of those charged with governance.
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.
- Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate the risk of fraud and error.
- Performing analytical review procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
- Assessing whether management judgments, where made, in determining accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias.
- Reviewing correspondence with third parties
- Obtaining written representations from management in relation to the risk of fraud and error and in respect of information provided to us in the course of the audit.
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 more difficult to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body. for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## HILLINGDON MIND
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
## 1 Accounting policies
## Charity information
Hillingdon Mind is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 40 New Windsor Street, Uxbridge, UB8 2TU.
- 1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” ("FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP “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).
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## 1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
- 1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are funds to be used for purposes as specified by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the fund.
Unrestricted funds are non specific or general grant aid, donations, collections and other monies received, for the general purposes of the charity.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
- 1.4 Income Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

- 1.5 Expenditure
- Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
## Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis asa liability is incurred, and is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading and operation of clubs.
## 1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
## Fixtures, fittings & equipment
## 25% Straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## 1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment Joss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## 1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## 1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

## Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. .
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## 1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
## 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Estimation techniques applied, most particularly in the calculation of appropriate rates of depreciation and the recoverability of debtors, have been consistently calculated and the trustees consider these to be prudent but reasonable.
