CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act, present their annual report and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise Caia Park Partnership Limited and its subsidiary company Wrexham Community Enterprises Limited.
Since the charitable company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
a. Policies and objectives
In shaping our objectives for the year the trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and how planned projects will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Through our annual operational planning and reporting processes trustees have an opportunity to review charitable activities and to set priorities for the year ahead. During this process the trustees ensure at all times how new and existing activities provide tangible public benefit.
The company is a charity and exists to primarily promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Caia Park but also to benefit the inhabitants of the County Borough of Wrexham and Wales by the relief of poverty, sickness and distress, the advancement of education and provision of recreation and leisure time facilities in the interest of social welfare in order that their conditions of life may be improved.
The accounting period saw the first year of the global COVID-19 pandemic. This has presented numerous operational challenges for the Partnership, principally concerned with the tension caused by disruptive social conditions and restrictions on face-to-face work (most of our work is – by definition – people focused and direct) and the drastic increase in demand for many of our services: More demand needing to be met in a more restrictive environment. Specific impacts are noted in the body of the text below where significant.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
The Partnership continues to aim to provide projects, services, facilities and opportunities that enable residents of Caia Park, Wrexham and Wales as a whole to fulfil their potential. Their development and delivery involves constantly reviewing, adapting and evolving our work to best address the community’s needs, and doing so within appropriate and relevant financial, quality, performance and regulatory constraints.
c. Activities for achieving objectives and to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit
Activities include an ever-changing mix of well-established, long-term routine service delivery, and innovative, short-term projects. All activities are considered for their ‘fit’ with community needs and our charitable purposes - individual projects and services capture targets in relation to our objects, and against which progress is reported to the relevant funder and stakeholders.
The main activities of the Partnership over the accounting period have been as follows:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
c. Activities for achieving objectives and to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit (continued)
Training and Employment
Working in partnership with Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) and Jobcentre Plus we support the delivery of projects to help people gain employment. Towards the end of the accounting period we secured a 2 year service delivery contract with WCBC to facilitate and organise a county-wide programme of employment focussed adult community learning. Throughout the accounting period we also delivered the ‘steps to progression’ programme in partnership with Groundwork North Wales, again under contract to WCBC, with the aim of supporting young people’s access to work. The pandemic required us to adjust our delivery methods to balance social restrictions with impact and relationship building.
Tenancy Support
Caia Park Tenancy Support Team (‘Wrexham Engage’) provides advice and practical support to enable people living in social housing across the county borough to maintain their tenancy. The pandemic has presented additional challenges and demand for this service, with many beneficiaries and the contracting body (WCBC) praising our persistence and impact.
Wrexham Include
Our contract with WCBC to deliver the county borough-wide flexible service that provided short-term housingrelated intensive support to older people ended in September 2020. The contract was awarded to another charity in NE Wales, and the Partnership worked closely with WCBC and the new contract holder to ensure a smooth transition for both the beneficiaries and staff involved. The change resulted in the transfer-out of 7 of our employees to the new contractor.
Deva House
Deva House’s ability to deliver its range of functions as an older people’s day care centre, luncheon club, meals on wheels, social activities, and hub for advice and information was severely affected by the pandemic. Many of its beneficiaries were amongst the highest risk groups, and various public health regulations meant that the centre was closed to ‘in person’ service delivery for most of the accounting period. In response, the centre adapted its delivery model to take services to people in their homes (either directly, by phone, or to people’s garden gates) to ensure a degree of social contact was maintained. WCBC helped to reduce the financial impact on the centre, but nevertheless the centre felt this impact.
Tier 1 – NEETS
The Partnership has continued to deliver a county-borough wide project providing mentoring support and training to enable young people to progress into training, education or employment. The pandemic forced us to adapt the way the service was provided, with phone contact, online meetings and garden gate meet-ups replacing the usual face-to-face sessions. Our effectiveness with individuals has been recognised by funders and stakeholders, although it is clear that the lasting adverse impact on children’s wellbeing will be presenting increased demands on this service for years to come.
Youth Team
Ordinarily, our Youth Team run 8 youth clubs that are held at venues across the Caia Park, Hightown, Acton, Offa, Gwersyllt and Broughton areas of the county borough, with clubs held at various times during the week at a range of suitable venues. These are routinely supplemented by regular outreach sessions to engage with young people who do not access the youth clubs. Prior to the pandemic the balance between ‘centre’ based and ‘outreach’ work was probably 80:20, but during the pandemic the venues all had to close and so the team switched entirely to a street-based outreach model. This proved effective in maintaining contact with many of the youth club users, and dovetailed on occasion with efforts by North Wales Police and WCBC to educate and encourage young people’s compliance with pandemic lockdown restrictions. The switch in operating model entailed a modest reduction in income for the service.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
c. Activities for achieving objectives and to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit (continued)
Flying Start and Early Entitlement
We have continued to provide early years childcare at three nursery settings in Caia Park, including Flying Start provision at Hafod Y Wern and Gwenfro centres and at Sparkles Day Nursery. This work also encourages and supports parents to read more with their children and to take an active part in their development. The pandemic closed the settings during the first lockdown, with minimal financial disruption thanks to the way the situation was managed by Welsh Government and WCBC. From Summer 2020 onwards the services all resumed
People’s Health Trust Local Conversation
The Partnership continues to work closely with People’s Health Trust to deliver the ‘Local Conversation’ programme in Caia Park. This has sought to bring local people together to effect real positive change in their community, with a focus on various factors that affect the social determinants of health inequalities. The programme supports volunteering and funds the development of new projects that meet identified community needs, and provides a small grants pot and a community development worker who works with local people to take their ideas forward.
The pandemic created challenges in facilitating this dialogue, requiring new methods, remote / online / hybrid working, and more 1:1 phone contact to maintain and grow involvement. Moreover, the pandemic highlighted additional needs, particularly around food poverty and mental health that the programme could positively respond to. Consequently, the accounting period has seen the Partnership playing a pivotal role in bringing agencies and community organisations together to pool resources and knowledge in these areas, developing new ways of working that can be sustained. The People’s Health Trust is increasingly directing its grant holders across the UK to influence long term changes in the social determinants of health, and this is guiding priorities for the forthcoming period.
Facilities
The Partnership has long term leases on 5 of its 7 buildings, with the other two (nursery settings) being on shortterm tenancy agreements. All buildings are owned by WCBC.
Three buildings form the Caia Park Centre that are on a 99 year lease. These are the base for our work around employability, youth work and mentoring, volunteering, training, the local conversation, and tenancy support. They are also home to 3 of our 4 community enterprises. Two of these buildings have meeting / training rooms that support other community activities, and outside of pandemic restrictions these have been used to good affect to bring residents and partners together to develop and deliver services, projects and activities together. All three buildings are also home to one or more external tenants who pay market rents and service charges to offset the Partnership’s running costs. Some tenants temporarily worked from home during the pandemic, but the impact on the Partnership’s income was minimal.
A fourth building is on a 25 year lease and is home to our Sparkles day nursery (the fourth of our 4 community enterprises described further below).
Our fifth building is on a long term tenancy agreement is home to our Deva House Older People’s centre. Our 6[th] and 7[th] buildings are on a short term tenancy agreement and act as centres for childcare delivery, specifically the Flying Start programme.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
c. Activities for achieving objectives and to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit (continued)
Trading activities
Our trading arm Wrexham Community Enterprises is made up of the following community enterprises:
Advance Training and Consultancy
Providing accredited and non-accredited training on topics such as Health & Safety, First Aid, Food Hygiene and Manual Handling to businesses, individuals and voluntary groups across Wrexham, with fees earned directly and through a range of small public-sector contracts including Adult Community Learning. The pandemic has affected our delivery model for these services, with a rapid expansion of on-line delivery and some attempts at ‘mixed’ models with face-to-face and online elements.
Catering Services
Our catering services were severely disrupted during this accounting period with the café only open in brief windows during the pandemic. This has led to a scaling down of the catering service with targets set for modest regrowth in future periods. No income has been earned at all in respect of ‘outside catering’ during the period.
Caia Crafts
In previous periods volunteers have been supported to manufacture and sell a range of high quality, hand crafted wood products from FSC accredited woodland. These products have been sold in the onsite shop and through a range of retail outlets including Erddig Hall and garden centres. Caia Crafts has also made and fitted quality gates and memorial benches in a range of customer settings. The pandemic severely restricted the ability to continue to facilite volunteer work and production reduced significantly over the accounting period. The time of the woodshop supervisor was also increasingly needed by the Charity itself to conduct maintenance and building adaptation works. Consequently, trading levels in Caia Crafts have reduced considerably in the period. However, these are set to regrow in the year ahead.
Childcare services
Despite the pandemic Sparkles day care nursery has continued to provide high quality child care for babies and children from 2 months to full time school age. Sparkles was selected to provide government-funding childcare to the children of key workers throughout the accounting period, and this served to offset the reduction in demand by non key working parents who followed the prevailing guidance to work from home where possible. Sparkles’s trading levels have been modestly adversely affected overall, but this continues to be the Partnership’s single largest trading unit.
Sparkles Holiday club saw more disruption over the pandemic period, but still managed to open when allowed during the school holidays to provide daycare and activities for children between the ages of 5 and 11.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
d. Volunteers
The support provided by volunteers underpins the activities and services of the Partnership, and it remains vital to the Partnership’s overall success. Volunteers are fully inducted, have a volunteer pack detailing all relevant policies and procedures and are offered training and support. Volunteers are awarded certificates of achievement to celebrate and acknowledge their contribution to the Partnership. Volunteers are recompensed for out of pocket expenses.
Over 40 volunteers are registered with the Partnership, but the pandemic has severely limited the opportunities for them all to continue volunteering with us. Several had to extensively self-isolate, and others were not able to return for extended periods because of working from home guidelines. Nevertheless, contact has been retained with volunteers over the period, and many are due to return in the year ahead.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. Successes in the year ended 31 March 2021
-
The pandemic brought incredible challenges and tensions to the Partnership, its work, trustees, leadership team, staff, volunteers and members.

The board of trustees has gained strength in facing challenges and helping the leadership team to take decisions and agree priorities.

The Partnership has laid the foundations for a five year strategic plan to be developed in the year ahead to support the direction of the organisation as a whole.
-
Various contracts and opportunities to improve the livelihoods of people in the communities we support have been pursued, with most secured and delivered to good effect despite the pandemic.
-
New partnerships with stakeholders have been formed, including with North Wales Police and WCBC in respect of the Safer Streets community safety project, and with MIND North East Wales, Caia Park Community Council and Betsi Cadwaldr University Health Board in respect of Mental Health project developed as part of the Local Conversation.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP FRS102;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

so far as that trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware, and

CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
(A company limited by guarantee)
I NDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Caia Park Partnership Limited the ('charitable company') and its subsidiary (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the group statement of financial activities, the group balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the group statement of cash flows and 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 FRS102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of the group’s income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK';
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and charitable company 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 concern 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 company'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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

I NDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors report for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the environment of the charitable company and the group 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 where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 charitable company'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.

CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
(A company limited by guarantee)
I NDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
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 a report of the independent auditors 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held in order to identify any laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. Throughout the audit, the team were updated with the outcomes of these enquiries including consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the Trust.
The audit procedures undertaken to address any potential risk in relation to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) included: enquiries of management and those charged with governance on how the charity complies with relevant laws, regulations and any cases of actual or potential litigations or claims; examination of appropriate legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing of journal entries for appropriateness; and analytical procedures on account balances to identify variances against expectation which may show indications of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified, although the prospect of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is inherently difficult. This is due to; difficulty in detecting irregularities; limits imposed by the effectiveness of the entity’s controls; and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities as a result of fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those resulting from error. Despite this the audit has being planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK), there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/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 auditors' 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.

CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Company information
Caia Park Partnership Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charitable company. The registered office is Caia Centre, Prince Charles Road, Wrexham, LL13 8TH.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Caia Park Partnership Limited 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 presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound sterling. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Caia Park Partnership Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary Wrexham Community Enterprises Limited, on a line-by-line basis.
A separate profit and loss account has not been presented because the advantage has been taken of the exemption permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The individual charity loss for the year was £9,190 (2020: £99,474).
1.4 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.

CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.5 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.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charitable company has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charitable company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charitable company that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charitable company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charitable company, or the charitable company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charitable company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charitable company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charitable company which is the amount the charitable company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.6 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.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.6 Expenditure (continued)
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charitable company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charitable company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.
The long leasehold buildings have not been capitalised as the trustees believe that the cost of obtaining a valuation is greater than the benefit that this information would provide to the users of the financial statements.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold - over 25 years Motor vehicles - over 4 years Furniture and equipment - over 5-6 years Computer equipment - over 4 years
1.8 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account.
1.9 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 bank.
1.10 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount repaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.11 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.12 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 within interest payable and similar charges.
1.13 Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
1.14 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.
1.15 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgement, 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.
