In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds. the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fuifilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Grants receivable Grants are recognised when the charity has an enlitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met.
