THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) 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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 1 January 2019)" ~~.~~

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are to improve the quality of life for carers in North Tyneside by supporting them through a high quality service, shaped by carers’ needs and is accessible to all carers. Activities include: information & advocacy, emotional support, support groups, training for carers, counselling, carer assessments, the provision of a breaks and activities service and family support.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake ~~.~~

Achievements and performance

The mission statement of the North Tyneside Carers' Centre is:

“To improve the quality of life for carers in North Tyneside"

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public Benefit: Running a charity (PB2)’.

We continued to see increased demand for our services during 2024 ~~—~~ 2025, with 664 new referrals ~~.~~ This was four times as many referrals we received annually, pre the pandemic ~~.~~ With no additional resources this proved challenging, particularly when we had gaps in posts or staff absences.

During the year we developed our 5 ~~-~~ year Corporate Strategy from September 2024 ~~—~~ 2029 ~~.~~ This came at a vital time for unpaid carers and the services that support them. In the absence of a national strategy, identifying and supporting carers was critical: as the health and social care system struggled with increased demand and limited resources, the needs of carers were often overlooked. We therefore worked with key stakeholders including carers, staff, volunteers, funders and partners across health, social care, education and the voluntary sector, to help shape our strategy ~~.~~

At a strategic level we continued as a lead partner on North Tyneside Carers Partnership Board: a board made up of key decision makers from health and social care. We led on working group of the board to develop an audit tool for Carers Partnership Boards, aligned to the principles of the Triangle of Care. On behalf of the board, we worked with Healthwatch North Tyneside to develop a young carers survey, to understand the impact of the caring over the last 12 months. The Board’s priorities and workplan were set based on the recommendations from the survey findings ~~.~~ We worked with North Tyneside Council to develop a new pathway/offer for young carers, based on feedback from young carers, parents and teachers. This was approved by the Carers Partnerhsip Board and Children and Young People’s Board and is awaiting decisions from commissioners regarding recommissioning services.

6,746 adult carers and 791 young carers were registered with the Centre during the year and received regular information bulletins and access to the website and resources. 989 adult carers and 271 young carers accessed a direct intervention to help maintain their wellbeing ~~.~~ We continuously reviewed our triage system for young and adult carers alongside our offer of support ~~.~~ This was vital in managing increased demand with the same level of resources and ensures we target those most in need for intense one to one support ~~.~~

THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

During the period the Adult Carers’ Service advice line responded to 4,950 enquiries from carers offering information, advice and emotional support. 87% of the contacts were in relation to improved access to support and services for the carer and person they cared for. We delivered one to one intensive emotional and practical support via the telephone/text and face to face to 429 adult carers, who were struggling to manage their caring responsibilities ~~.~~ Many of these carers were looking after someone with a mental health illness, dementia or autism. We helped carers recognise the impact of caring on their wellbeing and supported them to take appropriate steps to maintain their wellbeing through developing coping strategies e.g. relaxation techniques ~~.~~ We helped carers navigate the health and social care system and provided advocacy support to ensure their views were heard during care planning and safeguarding meetings ~~.~~

We delivered 18 peer support and wellbeing sessions with 188 attendances, 31 training sessions with 252 attendances ~~.~~ The training programme equipped carers with the skills and knowledge to care for someone safely and new sessions were developed, based on the needs of carers. We connected carers with other carers and groups in their local communities to increase their support network ~~.~~

As part of our contract with North Tyneside Council, we are delegated statutory responsibility to undertake carers assessments on their behalf ~~.~~ We therefore worked with the Council to train our new team of Carers Wellbeing Workers and review and implement a carer assessment audit tool, to measure the quality of carers assessments ~~.~~ We also set up clinics working into Adult Social Care teams to provide advice and guidance to professionals working with carers. This included Carepoint, Gateway and the community wellbeing teams ~~.~~

The Young Carers Service provided a direct service to 271 unique young carers ~~.~~ Family Support Workers provided intense one to one support to 181 young carers and their families via the telephone/text and face to face ~~.~~ They provided a range of interventions to support young carers to maintain their emotional and physical wellbeing, have aspirations and a life outside of caring ~~.~~ They supported families to access support services to reduce inappropriate levels of care and the impact of caring of the young carer, and increase the network of support around the family. The workers delivered two emotional wellbeing programmes to groups of young carers to focus on building resilience, identifying positives and challenges related to caring responsibilities; managing feelings; friendships and who can help and support networks ~~.~~

During the year the Centre’s Therapeutic Practitioner delivered 335 dramatherapy sessions to 30 young carers ~~.~~ The minimum number of sessions provided to a young carer was 8 and the maximum 20 ~~.~~ Sessions identified trauma in many of the young carers including sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect and domestic violence.

The Breaks and Activities team delivered 108 sessions with a total of 812 attendances. These sessions provided young carers with a regular break from their caring responsibilities, the opportunity to connect with others and have fun ~~.~~ Sessions included trips to the Discovery Museum, St James’ Park, Alnwick Gardens Light Trail, Peter Pan pantomime, First Aid training and pumpkin picking. The young carers joined up with young carers from Newcastle Carers for a Halloween party ~~.~~

We were delighted to be awarded funding from the North East Combined Authority to support young adult carers during key transition stages ~~-~~ this had previously been identified as a gap in our provision by young adult carers ~~.~~ We recruited a Young Adult Carer Worker, who undertook transition assessments and provided one to one support to 50 young people ~~.~~ This helped young adult carers navigate the barriers they experienced as a result of their caring responsibilities and take important steps towards their future aspirations. A monthly peer support group was established and practical sessions delivered to help young adult carers care safely e ~~.~~ g ~~.~~ first aid.

In July we were awarded funding from Carers Trust for 18 months to deliver a Carers Money Matters Project, to improve the financial wellbeing of carers. We recruited a Benefits and Financial Wellbeing Worker to undertake benefit checks, complete benefits forms, support at appeals and tribunals and provide debt and energy advice. The worker supported 117 carers in financial crisis and in 6 months secured £57,148 in annual benefit gains ~~.~~

The Young Carers in Schools Programme was extended from September until the end of March 2025, through funding from North Tyneside Council. We worked with 12 schools to improve identification and support for young carers. This included the delivery of whole school workforce development training, assemblies across all year groups, support to implement carer policies, the development of peer support networks and PHSE lessons.

THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

We worked with Carers Northumberland and Newcastle Carers to implement and deliver the Working for Carers Project ~~.~~ 309 carers from across the North of Tyne area accessed one to one support, of which:

This included supporting carers to remove barriers as a result of caring, help them understand their rights in work, understand assistive technology which could help the person cared e ~~.~~ g. Alexa for medication prompts, falls monitors etc ~~.~~ 30 organisations were supported to identify carers within the workplace and implement the Carers Leave Act ~~—~~ to work towards a carer friendly culture in the workplace ~~.~~ This included training HR teams, line managers and general awareness raising for colleagues. We were delighted to hear in February that we had been awarded funding for a further 12 months, albeit at 50% of the current level of funding.

Financial review

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure ~~.~~ 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. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

The charity's main source of income are performance related grants of £1,011,605 (2024: £900,774). The charity also received donations of £1,313 (2024: £693), investment income of £8,272 (2024: £5,262) and other income of £29,988 (2024: £30,913) ~~.~~ The charity's charitable costs have increased in the year leaving a surplus of £51,790 (2024: £7,611) ~~.~~ All funding received from the Community Foundation should be recognised as Community Foundation North East ~~.~~

The ‘free reserves' of the charity (defined as those unrestricted funds not designated for specific purposes or tied up in fixed assets) stood at £287,046 at 31 March 2025 (2024: £234,492) ~~.~~ The charity's unrestricted reserves totalled £287,047 (2024: £234,711) which are represented by net current assets ~~.~~ of £287,046 (2024: £234,492) and capital assets of £1 (2024: £219). The charity's restricted reserves totalled £43,537 (2024: £44,083) which are represented by net current assets.

Risk management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks ~~.~~ The greatest risk is the uncertainty of the continuing finance for the charity's projects. Funding streams are monitored closely by the trustees, and new funding is sought for projects well in advance of the expiry of any existing funding. As the charity operates with vulnerable members of the community all staff and volunteers are subject to DBS procedures.

Plans for future periods

We will tender for the carer support contract with North Tyneside Council, to secure longer term funding for the organisation ~~.~~ We will look to diversify our income streams and identify opportunities to work with businesses to help them deliver their social corporate responsibility ~~.~~

We will develop a strong evidence base to share with funders, particularly the NHS, to demonstrate the impact and cost benefits of our work in supporting carers.

We will review systems and processes and implement digital solutions where possible, to help increase our capacity to support more carers ~~.~~

We will continue to work strategically with North Tyneside Carers Partnership Board and partners across health and social care to identify opportunities to increase capacity to support carers and implement a whole system approach to supporting carers ~~.~~ Carers’ feedback and experiences will be fed into strategic boards to influence local decision making.

Related parties

The charity operates closely with many local agencies including the local authorities. However these are not considered to be related parties for accounting purposes.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees, who are also the directors of The North Tyneside Carers' Centre 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;

~~-~~ state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 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.

In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that Sumer Auditco Limited be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting ~~.~~

Disclosure of information to auditor

Each of the trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.

THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The North Tyneside Carers' Centre (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 the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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:

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 financial statements section of our report ~~.~~ We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 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 concem 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, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 ~~.~~

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees’ report ~~.~~

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

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

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 ~~.~~

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below ~~.~~

THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the sector in which it operates, we identified that the following laws and regulations are significant to the entity:

These matters were discussed amongst the engagement team at the planning stage and the team remained alert throughout the audit.

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non ~~-~~ compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and the Trustees as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence and legal costs incurred; review of Trustee meeting minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.

No instances of material non ~~-~~ compliance were identified ~~.~~ However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty 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 ~~.~~ As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK) ~~.~~

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.f ~~r~~ c. ~~o~~ rg. ~~u~~ k/auditorsresponsibilities ~~.~~ This description forms part of our auditor's report ~~.~~

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable 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 charitable 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE NORTH TYNESIDE CARERS' CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Charity information

The North Tyneside Carers' Centre is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Wallsend Customer First Centre Floor 2, 16 The Forum, Wallsend, Tyne And Wear, NE28 8JR.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 1 January 2019)" ~~.~~ The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102 ~~.~~

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 subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used ~~.~~ The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Income is recognised in the statement of financial activities 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 ~~.~~ The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income ~~.~~

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 ~~.~~

Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Where grants are conditional to performance and specific deliverables, the grant is accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance ~~.~~

Investment income comprises interest received on cash balances and is included on the statement of financial activities when receivable.

(Continued)

Charitable activity costs includes expenditure relating to the operation of the charity and includes both direct and support costs relating to those activities ~~.~~

Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income ~~.~~

Support costs include central function expenditure and are allocated on the basis of staff allocated to each activity ~~.~~

Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets, and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements ~~.~~

The charity allocates costs direct to activities as far as possible, then identifies the remaining costs of its support functions ~~.~~ The chairty then identifies those costs which relate to the governance function. Having identified its governance costs, the remaining support costs are allocated to the charity's principal activity.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

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:

Office Equipment

33% straight line or over the life of a specific project

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 loss. 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 shor ~~t-~~ 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.

(Continued)

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 ~~-c~~ urrent 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.

1.10 Taxation

The North Tyneside Carers' Centre, as a registered charity, is exempt from taxation on its income and gains falling within.

1.11 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 ~~.~~

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due ~~.~~

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease ~~.~~

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 ~~.~~
