have considered this risk and believe that with Careful management they will be able to continue to fulfil the
objectives of the Charity.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1. Accounting Pollcles
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
(a} Basls of proparation of financial statements
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defi'ned by FRS 102. The financial statements 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 issued in October 2019,
the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland {FRS
102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention,
modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling
which is the functional currency of the Charity.
(b) Funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general
objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Donations receivable are allocated on the basis of the donors, wishes. If a purpose is specified then it
is a restricted fund for that purpose. If a specific purpose is determined by the Trustees a Designated
fund will be used.
(c) Income racognltlon
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Charity
is legally entitled to the income after any performan￿ conditions have been met, the amount can be
measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities
to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in
order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Investment income is recognised in the accounts when the amount can be measured reliably and the
Charity's right to receive payment is established.
No amount is includèd in tho finan¢iol 8tatemonta for volunteer time in line wllh the SORP (FFIS 1021.
Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value
when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over
the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the
amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A
corresponding amount is wognised in expenditure.
The charity receives government grants from the local district council. Income from govemment and
other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance
conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be
measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included
in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair
value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation oulweigh any benefits, then the fair value
is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount
recognised as charitable expenditure.
