In April 2011 the Company purchased the property it occupies and holds funds in a Property fund to cover
the costs of improving and maintaining the property. This designated reserve is £10,000.00.
During the year, the value of the property was also added into this designated fund as it provides the

balance.
Investment Poli
At the beginning of the year the company held investments with the Charity Aid Foundation Bank to
produce income and capital growth in a manner that is consistent with the Companws stated charitable
objectives and ethical standpoint. This fund ceased operation and due to the work around the merEer

Accountlng convention
The financial statement5 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 {FRS102) (effective Isi January 2019)- (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the
flnancial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS102) and the
Companies Act 2006 except in respect of deferred income where adherence would not give
a true and fair view as explained in Note 1.3.
Voluntary Action North Lincolnshire Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity
under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction
value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notels).
Company status
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the
directors named on pa8e 3.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlemerbt to the funds, any performance
conditions attached to the item{s} of income have been met, it is probable that tho income
will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Service5 provided, investment income and rents are accounted for on the accrual's basis.
other Income is accounted forwhen received. All income is shown gross with associated
costs included in expenditure.
Grants received to fund the purchase of fixed assets are credited to the Statement of
Financial Activities when the Company is legally entitled to the income. The related
expenditure is charged to Fixed Assets in the Balance Sheet.
Grants received of a revenue nature are accounted for on the accruals basis and credited to
Incoming Resources in the Statement of Financial Activities when the cornpany is legally
entitled to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and the
grant relate5 to the relevant time period. Therefore, grants received in advance may be
deferred to future time periods. This is a departure from the Charrties SORP (FRS1021 in
order to ensure that the accounts of the Charity provide a Yrue and Fairf, view. The
Trustees considered the requirement to recognise income when the charity has entitlement
to the funds, any performance condltions attached to the itemlsl of income have been met,
it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Due to the payment of some grants received in advance this would distort the Net

concerns are treated as deferred income. The Trustees considered the requirement to
recogni5e income when the charlty has entitlement to the funds, any performance
conditlons attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income
will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. Due to the payment of some
grants received in advance thls would distort the Net Surplus/{Deficit) figures which could
jeopardise the Charitws position when applying for contracts.
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment
to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the
obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure has been classified under headings that aggregate costs related to the
category.
All expenditure undertaken is in line with our charltable and is undertaken to further the
purposes of the charity 3nd the associated support Costs.
The Charity is not VAT registered and irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the
activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Tanglble flxed assets and depreaation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation on other assets IS
provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset
over its expected useful life (except as detailed below) as follows:
Land and Buildings
Valued at Market Value
Computer Equipment
33% on the straight-line basis
Office Equipment
25% on the straight-line basis

Fund accounting (continued}
General funds are unrestricted funds whlch are available for use at the discretion of the
trustees in furtherance of the general objettives of the charity and which have not been
designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the directors for
particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the
financial statements.
Operatlng leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA over the period in which the
cost is incurred.
Golng Concern.
The Charity is currently going through a merger. It is anticipated that this will complete In
the next financial year. The accounts have been prepared on the basis of discontinued
operations.
Income and Expenditure Attount
The company is a registered charity and so achievements cannot be measured by normal
commercial criteria. Accordingly, the Director5 consider that it would be inappropriate to
present a Profrt and Loss Account in one of the formats set out in the Companies Act 2006.
Therefore, as permitted by the Companie5 Act, in order to reflect the special nature of the
company's activities, the Directors are of the opinion that it would be more appropriate to
present an Income and Expenditure Account.
