whose uses are restricted or designated for particular purposes. The calculation thus excludes fixed assets
that will continue to be used in the day-to-day running of the Chartty.
As a matter of pollcy, each year the Trustees review the value of the reserves reqUI￿d to be held In
investments. cash and cash equivalents not restritted to any particular purpose. The Board considers the
Charity's exposure to the risk of any slgnlficant loss of Income, and to the rise of unforeseen expendlture,
whlch cannot be mitlgated by executlve actlon and the degree of risk ascribed to each such event is
assessed.
Budgetary and flnancial control continues to be improved In order to reduce the rlsk of over-expendlture
and to mitlgate the effect of a drop In Income In any one financial year. It is not the Charlty's policy to
embark on any major Inltlatlve wlthout commltted funding. The present target range for free resenies Is
a mlnlmum of slx months operatlonal costs as per charlty commisslon guidellnes.

that there Is at all times a clarlty of investment management responsibilities. The principle on which thls
wlll be based Is a clear dlstlnctlon between those charged wlth settlng Investment management pollcle5
and those charged wlth Implementlng and controlllng these pollcles, partlcularly wlth regard to the
execution and transmission of funds, the recording and admlnlsterlng of Investment management declslons
and the audlt and revlew of the Investment management functlon.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees assess business rlsks through monltorlng our rlsk reglster and Implementlng rlsk
management strategies as appropriate. The register covers the flve key areas of finance, personnel,
premises, governance and reputatlon. Thls Involves Sdentifying the types of risks the Charity faces under
each area, prlorltizing them In temis of potential impart and Ilkelihood of occurrence, and Identlfylng
means of mltlgatlng the rlsks. As part of thls process the Trustees have revlewed the adequacy of the
Charity's current Internal controls and deslgnated responslblllty of the tasks to elther a member of the
Board of Trustees or a member of the management team.

Trustees, meetlngs as part of a standlng "Chlef Executlve Report" agenda Item. In addltlon the Board of
Trustees have:

materiallzlng; the Charlty's ablllty to redu￿ the Incldence and lrnpact on the organlzatlon of rlsks that
do materlalize and the costs of oper3ting partlcular controls relatlve to the benefits obtalned;

Accounting Policies
Basis of preparing the financlal ststements
The financial ststements of the charitable company, which Is a publlc beneflt entlty under FRS 102,
have been prepared in accordance with the Charitles SORP {FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by
Charities: Staternent of Recommended Practlce applicable to charities preparing their accounts In
accordance wlth the Flnanclal Reportlng Standard applicable in the UK and Republlc of Ireland (FRS
102) (effectlve l January 2015),, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard
appllcable in the UK and Republic of Ireland., the and the Companies Act 2006. The flnancial
statements have been prepared under the hlstorlcal cost conventlon with the exception of
investments whlch are Included at market value.
Income
All Income Is recognlsed In the Statement of Flnanclal Actlvltles ontt the charity has entltlement to
the funds, it is probable that the Income wlll be recelved and the amount can be measured reliably.
The followln9 spectfic pollcles are applied to partlcular categorles of Income:
Voluntary Income is received by way of grants, donatlons and glfts and is Included In full In the
statement of flnancSal actlvltles when receivable. Grants where entltlement Is not conditional on the
dellvery of a speclflc performance by the Charlty, are recognlsed when the Charlty becomes
unconditlonally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facllltSes are Snduded at the value to the Charlty where thls can be quantified.
The value of servlces provlded by volunteers has not been Included.
Grants, Includlng grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognlsed In full In the statement of
financlal actlvltles In the year In whlch they are receivable. Incomlng resources from grants, whe
related to performance and speclflc dellverables, are accounted for as the Charlty earns the rlght to
conslderatlon by its perfomiance.
Income from Investrnents Is Included In the year In whlch It Is recelvable.
Expendltur•
Llabllltles are recognlsed as expendlture as soon as there Is a legal or constructive obllgatSon
commlttlng the charlty to that expendlture, It Is probable that a transfer of economlc benefits will be
reqUI￿d in settlement and the amount of the obllgatlon can be measured ￿lIablY.
Costs of generatlng funds comprlse the costs associated wlth attractlng voluntsry Income and
actlvltles for generatlng funds.
Charltable expenditure comprises those costs Incurred by the Charlty In the delivery of Its artivities
and its serVI￿S for Its beneficiarles. It Includes both costs that can be allocated to such activities
and those costs of an Indlrect nature necessary to support them. Expenditure on grants Is recorded
once the Charlty has made an uncondltlonal commitment to pay the grant and thls Is communlcated
to the beneficiary or the grant has been pald, whlchever is the earlier. The Charlty has not made
any grant commitments of more than one year.
Support costs include general management, general office costs, accountlng, Informatlon
technology, human resources and governance costs, and a￿ allocated across the categorles of costs
of generating funds, charltable expendlture.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categorles of the statement of flnanclal actlvltles on
a basls designed to reflect the use of the resour￿. Costs relatlng to a particular activity are allocated
directly. Others are apportioned on an appropriate basls e.g. per capita or estimated usage as
detailed in the notes to the financial statements.
