Pressures on the national economy have continued to place limits on health and social care resources. On present evidence very little has been learnt from the Covid pandemic in terms of how to alleviate pressure on the NHS and especially elderly people ending up in Accident and Emergency. The limitations of the NHS and Social Care for frail elderly and other vulnerable people is becoming increasingly obvious with ever pressurised budgets. There has been much debate in government regarding the poor funding situation in social care leading to bed blocking in hospitals and it seems, despite all this rhetoric, that it is down to communities to sort the social needs of people who live amongst them and need support. Access to GP face to face appointments has remained difficult for older people and other vulnerable adults. There is a real need for our higher level of support which fits into the prevention agenda being promoted by both NHS England and the plans of North Yorkshire Council Health and Adult Services. ## **Jane** Very sadly, our former Chief Officer Jane Farquharson passed away in April 2025. Jane became Chief Officer in 2006 and stood down from that role in September 2024 but continued in a part time admin role. This was a heavy blow to the charity on many levels. Jane’s legacy is to have left a charity that has survived many challenges during her time in charge and is well set to continue supporting the frail and vulnerable for the foreseeable future. With Jane still in a leadership role at an Away Day with our trustees in December, the decision was made to invest monies raised from the sale of Cliff House in the growth of the charity – aiming for a 100% increase in the numbers of clients supported through our Support at Home and Lunch Club/Day Care services. This was seen as necessary for the charity’s long-term sustainability and also to fulfil our charitable obligation to support more frail and vulnerable people. Increased investment in recruitment and marketing has already led to an increase in the level of support we are providing by 50% since December. Jane has left a thriving charity that is well set for the future. ## **Our services** The impact on the charity of Covid and the years of coronavirus restrictions made us focus even more attention on supporting clients in their own home as part of an integrated care model which remains at the heart of good joined up health and social care for everyone but especially those with age-related long-term conditions. Our aim remains to support older people and other vulnerable adults to live independently for longer and ensure their lives are fulfilled, meaningful and enjoyable. The organisation remains focussed on helping those with more complex and multi-faceted social care needs living in the community. Those suffering from or those caring for people with Dementia are a high priority for us as numbers diagnosed increase with this devastating disease. The real difference made to older people’s lives in providing practical, individually planned support services in their own homes often means they can avoid medical crises and also premature moves into residential care and can remain at home well supported by KHCSS. Our Lunch Clubs/Day Care also continue to provide a vital outlet and support for those who are virtually housebound and suffering from loneliness and isolation. We need to continue the work we do around practical support needs, loneliness and isolation and the importance of decisions made to avoid hospital admissions by proper rounded support at home. Risks associated with care services must continue to be correctly assessed and any identified mitigated appropriately. ## **Networking, publicity and marketing** We are a good example of integrated support. The challenge for a small charity such as ours is to show a wider audience what we can do and achieve in keeping older people safe and healthy living in their own homes and avoiding crises. We continue to be involved with local healthcare teams and social services helping to shape thinking on ways to support older people through Page 2 Document ID: 1ce6a3f8b7271dfc86557382ae8e4dc65d787a64fc770f100de78c80917b411c **Knaresborough and Harrogate Community Support Services Limited** Chain Lane Community Hub Chain Lane Knaresborough Charity Number: 1063803 A company limited by guarantee the later part of their lives, particularly through prevention agendas. We have a new website www.khcss.org.uk , new leaflets and we are developing an active presence on social media. ## **Volunteers** Volunteering was badly affected by Covid in common with other voluntary groups in the area, as most of our kind volunteers were older themselves and vulnerable to Covid. We thank the smaller band of volunteers we now have and we continue to seek to recruit more volunteers going forward to help with our Lunch Clubs, Shopping Service, admin and fundraising, as they have done in the past. ## **Client feedback** Comments from clients and their families over the last year clearly show their appreciation for the support we all provide as a team. A few examples are:- “We couldn’t manage without their visits. Mum could not make her lunch at all so was eating virtually nothing until we set up Support at Home.” “The girls are so kind and helpful. Mum really looks forward to their daily visits, she was so lonely before.” “Dad’s meds were all over the place. We were so worried it was making him poorly and he could not manage them at all until Support at Home started.” “So grateful your ladies come round to care for my wife, so I can get a break.” ## **Thanks to Staff and Volunteers** I want to use this opportunity to thank all our staff and volunteers for their continued hard work and dedication, and to express my sincere thanks for their huge commitment at what has been a most difficult time for all involved with the charity and wider society. Our team have proved flexible and adaptable in the face of fast paced change and have remained professional, positive and with our client’s interests foremost throughout this time, going above and beyond what they had previously thought possible. A special thanks too to the staff who have covered extra shifts due to the difficulty at times in recruiting new staff. ## **Thank you to our Funders and Supporters** With the decline in grants from government, the NHS and other funders to support organisations like our own, it is imperative that we maintain a robust financial footing so that our services and the value and support they bring to the community can continue. We received financial support during the year in the form of grants and donations from many sources, including Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and many other Friends of KHCSS. And finally, a big thank you to all those who supported our services through the generous personal donations and legacies received during the year.

Pharmacy staff have been very supportive too in working collaboratively getting medication ordered and to the clients in their homes to people who, through cognitive, eyesight or manual dexterity issues, need our service to remain medication compliant and physically well. Thank you to one and all. While the future will no doubt continue to be challenging, we will continue thinking positively and striving to help as many older people and other vulnerable adults as possible. We will build on every positive we can think of and continue hopefully to thrive and not just survive well into the future. Your support is invaluable so THANK YOU. ~~qutian Terry~~ Signer ID: ULIWVW8BQP... **Julian Terry Charity Director** 09/10/2025 GMT Page 4 Document ID: 1ce6a3f8b7271dfc86557382ae8e4dc65d787a64fc770f100de78c80917b411c **Knaresborough and Harrogate Community Support Services Limited** Chain Lane Community Hub Chain Lane Knaresborough Charity Number: 1063803 Company Number: 03403668 A company limited by guarantee ## **Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ended 31 March 2025.

The Shopping Service grew out of a pilot project set up in 2010 in response to large numbers of enquiries received from or on behalf of older people no longer able to manage their own shopping.

Clients are invariably disabled and, due to poor mobility, are quite isolated and the service helps to address the isola�on as well as shopping needs, as it provides for a weekly contact and usually an opportunity for a cup of tea and a chat once the shopping has been packed away. The service also allows for the client's fridge and kitchen to be checked for health hazards if a client has cogni�ve issues or poor sight, and for their overall health and wellbeing to be regularly monitored. In several cases, this has enabled a �mely offer to be made to par�cularly frail clients of a Support at Home or Day Ac�vity service to address other areas of need before any higher level of NHS care is needed, especially hospitalisa�on through stomach upsets/infec�ons which are o�en caused by ea�ng out-of-date food. other needs, which they are not ini�ally willing to acknowledge or whose situa�ons deteriorate. ## **Ac�vi�es & Ou�ngs** can play an important role in addressing the needs of vulnerable people.

Clients may prefer to go out on their own with a support worker or go in a small group. ## **Government funding, grant support and dona�ons** The following grant funding was awarded in the year. - **NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB £25k to be spent by end March 25 with a small upli� added** `o` Grant provided to support delivery of Support at Home services to provide essen�al support to primarily keep people out of hospital.

Service provision should relieve the loneliness of the isolated and allow relief for carers who, in turn, should have the confidence that the service user will have an improved quality of life, Service users will be encouraged and supported in whatever way they wish to remain involved in their local communi�es and the decision-making process as well as remaining central in support planning for their own care. The Charity will help shape older people's health and social care services for the be�er in the future. We will work in partnership with organisa�ons who share this vision of improved care and support for older people. ## **Mission Statement and Aims** Knaresborough and Harrogate Community Support Services provides health and social care support for older people in order that they may con�nue to remain living as independently as possible in their own homes and prevent avoidable hospital admission or higher-level care being needed, with �mely and meaningful mul� contact approach support that meets their needs and wishes.

Reserves policy** Knaresborough and Harrogate Community Support Services funds comprise both restricted (money to be spent on specific ac�vity, as determined by the funder) and unrestricted funds. The unrestricted funds of £439,750, which include designated reserves in rela�on to the fixed assets of £38,375, enable the Charity to have an adequate working reserve and funding to contribute to the con�nued development and sustainability of the Charity. The Trustees have considered the level of working reserves that are needed based on:- - Opera�ng costs. - Possible redundancy costs arising from unexpected termina�on of contractual arrangements or grants; and - Provisions for a development/dilapida�on fund. In their opinion the working reserves therefore need to be between £250,000 and £260,000 around 6 months of business expenditure a�er adding back deprecia�on plus a con�ngency towards professional fees. The working reserves are the general funds, these amounted to £401,375 at 31 March 2025. ## **b. Results** The Charity has generated income of £395,474 (2024: £371,685). Expenditure in the year was £428,306 (2024: £421,354). The increase mainly relates to higher staff costs as a result of wage infla�on and payment made in respect of a voluntary redundancy but has been offset by increased income from care fees and services. This has resulted in a deficit of £32,832 (2024: deficit £49,669). ## **c. Going Concern** A�er making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expecta�on that the Charity has adequate resources to con�nue in opera�onal existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they con�nue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adop�on of the going concern basis can be found in the accoun�ng policies. The trustees increased the working reserves by the sale of our resource centre in Knaresborough in 2023. ## **Plans for the future** Knaresborough and Harrogate Community Support Services aim is to provide a comprehensive range of prac�cal services in a mul�-faceted approach to directly address the individual needs of older people living in the community. The client is always at the centre of the process, iden�fying and managing their own care pathway. As the statutory sector finds itself at a crossroads with an overburdened NHS and councils cu�ng social care budgets leading to o�en inadequate levels of community support, the need for KHCSS to work in different ways and provide a "wrap around" service which addresses o�en serious levels of unmet need can only increase. To respond effec�vely to the needs of older people during this �me of financial constraint, KHCSS con�nues to provide bold and crea�ve solu�ons which are intended to both meet real need and to develop new income streams which can sustain services beyond the ini�al set up costs. Page 9 Document ID: 1ce6a3f8b7271dfc86557382ae8e4dc65d787a64fc770f100de78c80917b411c **Knaresborough and Harrogate Community Support Services Limited** Chain Lane Community Hub Chain Lane Knaresborough Charity Number: 1063803 Company Number: 03403668 A company limited by guarantee In the past year, we have con�nued to focus on frailer clients, who par�cularly have been struggling to deal with the prac�cal, social and emo�onal challenges which remain post the pandemic. This con�nues to a�ract statutory funding from the NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB. We con�nue to work in an integrated way to help deliver care as part of a joined-up approach with the statutory sector, both primary and secondary health care, as well as Health and Adult Services and vitally, together with carers of family or other voluntary sector providers. The aim is to enable the client to receive joined up efficient support, which has been properly planned without unnecessary cost to the taxpayer or indeed the client themselves or their family. A Social Enterprise approach involving charges to service users for some services is therefore inevitable and is a key element, not only in con�nuing to deliver services from Knaresborough throughout the Harrogate District but also throughout North Yorkshire by expanding to other areas which would benefit from this type of service provision. Our work over the last year and our plans hopefully demonstrates good prac�ce with clear outcomes of improved health and wellbeing. With tradi�onal funding streams under pressure, adequate reserves must be maintained to sustain services in future. Opportuni�es may exist to work in closer partnership with likeminded organisa�ons who feel comfortable about a social enterprise approach as the means for providing more intensive levels of support. We are based at the Community Hub in Chain Lane, Knaresborough, a shared resource space with 'Anchor' status for services in North Yorkshire. The public profile and visibility at the Community Hub brings the Charity's services to the a�en�on of a wider group within the local community and will bring access to grants and collabora�ve working with local likeminded organisa�ons helping to widen our services and strengthen rela�onships with North Yorkshire Council, NHS as well as community groups. to the voluntary redundancy of a senior member of staff. We are confident going forward we will be able to con�nue grows along with an increased income, this will also allow some efficiency savings and help maintain our financial stability. We are about to launch a new website that is more user friendly and we intent to become ac�ve on social media. We are also producing new leaflets outlining our services and these will be distributed widely in the hope of a�rac�ng new clients. Cliff House, Hilton Lane, Knaresborough was sold in June 2023 for £350,000 to another local charity. We have moved to rented accommoda�on at Chain Lane Community Hub which is a charity run community centre with "Community Anchor" status. This has allowed the realisa�on of our assets to maintain our financial viability. Although there were ini�al expenses involved in the move the ongoing cost will be reduced. obtained a grant to cover the costs of the due diligence process. A�er carrying out the due diligence we concluded than unfortunately a new merged charity would not be able to con�nue the support of many of our beneficiaries. We felt it important that we carry on our high-quality work in par�cular our support at home service and con�nue offering this to as many clients as possible. redundancy. We will look to a future with a new model of administra�on which includes lower staff costs. The recruitment of more volunteers to support the delivery of our services will offer a valuable resource to the work of the charity.

The numbers a�ending Luncheon Club has been slowly increasing but is yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. We will con�nue to offer and develop this service and a�ract new clients. The move to Chain Lane Community Hub means we unfortunately no longer have assisted bathing facili�es for clients. The charity will con�nue to work in collabora�on with health and social care organisa�ons locally to ensure that the needs of clients are met and that families are supported. The relief of loneliness and isola�on provided by our services cannot be underes�mated. We con�nue to receive grant payments to support our opera�ons from Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and have received generous dona�ons from a number of local individuals. These have helped the charity con�nue delivering valuable services. The charity is a recognised provider of services for North Yorkshire Council and this covers the cost of services for some of our clients. We also have client who are self-funding. The trustees and management team are focussed on ensuring that the charity can meet the needs of the most vulnerable for the coming year through collabora�on with statutory providers and other local chari�es and social enterprises. Our move to a shared Community Hub offers an opportunity to support an increased number of older and vulnerable people who a�end various ac�vi�es at the hub. The need to achieve more with less resources is a constant challenge at a �me when many frail and elderly people are struggling to manage at home and this is not helped by the lack of adequate funding of social care by central government. Recruitment and reten�on of quality care staff to provide our services is key but very challenging in the Harrogate District with so many compe�ng factors. In this rapidly changing work environment a prac�cal and flexible approach with the ability and willingness to embrace change and acquire new skills are a�ributes we are looking for along with tradi�onal care related quali�es and social skills. new website that is more accessible. We also intend to develop a social media presence to be�er market our services. New leaflets are being produced to distribute to clients, rela�ves and local social and healthcare organisa�ons. We believe that increasing our number of clients will help lead to a more financially stable posi�on. Par�cular thanks must go to our Charity Director and our previous CEO who have led the charity through uncharted waters during this �me. Thanks, must also go to the Director of Services who has been a very able support. an incredibly high standard in what has been difficult �mes. Many thanks to everyone who has helped the charity in any way during this �me. The challenges for the future present us with new opportuni�es. We have now moved to a new loca�on and the team are enthusias�c and focussed to deliver even be�er high-quality services to more people in our local community and to do this in a cost-effec�ve way.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since the company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 09/10/2025 GMT Signed: Nicolae OSullivan Dated: Signer ID: CULLXCAPAB...

The financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by: Signer ID: EDNF3DIQUQ... ## **S Walton** (Chair of Trustees) Date: 09/10/2025 GMT The notes on pages 17 to 33 form part of these financial statements. Page 16 Document ID: 1ce6a3f8b7271dfc86557382ae8e4dc65d787a64fc770f100de78c80917b411c ## **KNARESBROUGH AND HARROGATE COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS _FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_ ## **1. General information** Knaresborough and Harrogate Community Support Services Limited is a company limited by guarantee. It is incorporated in England and Wales. The members of the company are the trustees named on Page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited £1 per member of the company. The registered office is: Chain Lane Community Hub Chain Lane Knaresborough North Yorkshire HG5 0AS The principal operation of the company remains the provision of services to the vulnerable and elderly. ## **2. Accounting policies** ## _**2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**_ The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (issued October 2019) and the Companies Act 2006. Knaresbrough and Harrogate Community Support Services meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial statements are presented in £ sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity, and rounded to the nearest £. ## _**2.2 Going concern**_ The trustees recognise the significant challenges within the care sector and have built these into their assessment of the charity’s financial position going forward. The pressures on recruitment, increasing salary costs and reduced resilience funding for the charity have led the trustees to re-assess the operations and overhead structure of the charity. The charity had general funds/reserves at the year end of £439,750 (an increase of £33,007 from £406,743 in the prior year). The trustees believe the funds realised from the property sale and the reduction in property costs moving forward should ensure the continued operation of the charity. Hence, the trustees believe it is reasonable to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Page 17 Document ID: 1ce6a3f8b7271dfc86557382ae8e4dc65d787a64fc770f100de78c80917b411c ## **KNARESBROUGH AND HARROGATE COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS _FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_ ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## _**2.3 Income**_ All income is recognised once the charitable company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. ## _**2.4 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charitable company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charitable company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. ## _**2.5 Interest receivable**_ Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charitable company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. ## _**2.6 Taxation**_ The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Sch. 6, para. 1 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Pt. 11, Ch. 3 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or s. 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. Page 18 Document ID: 1ce6a3f8b7271dfc86557382ae8e4dc65d787a64fc770f100de78c80917b411c ## **KNARESBROUGH AND HARROGATE COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS _FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_ ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## _**2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**_ Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following bases: - Freehold property 50 years straight line - Fixtures and fittings 4 years straight line Freehold land is not depreciated. ## _**2.8 Debtors**_ Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## _**2.9 Cash at bank and in hand**_ Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## _**2.10 Liabilities and provisions**_ Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. ## _**2.11 Financial instruments**_ The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Page 19 Document ID: 1ce6a3f8b7271dfc86557382ae8e4dc65d787a64fc770f100de78c80917b411c ## **KNARESBROUGH AND HARROGATE COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES** ## **(A company limited by guarantee)** ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS _FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025_ ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## _**2.12 Employee benefits**_ When employees have rendered service to the charity short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. ## _**2.13 Pensions**_ The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charitable company to the fund in respect of the year. ## _**2.14 Fund accounting**_ General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charitable company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. ## _**2.15 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**_ ## Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. ## Critical accounting estimates and assumptions: The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
