The End of Life Partnership Limited is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number, registered charity number, and registered office can be found in the Reference and Administrative Details section of the Trustee's Report.
2. Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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), with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and with the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable charity and company law. The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. The presentational currency of the financial statements is in Pounds Sterling (£).
Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Trustees believe the charity has sufficient funds and has secured sufficient income to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. They believe there are no material concerns about the charity's ability to continue in its current shape and size.
Incoming Resources
Income includes all resources which accrue to the charity. It includes invoiced income, contracted income, grants, donations, investment income and sundry income. Income is recorded gross (i.e. expenditure is not netted off) and is recognised when it is prudent to do so. Specific income recognition policies:
-
Invoiced income (incoming resources from charitable activities) is recognised on an accruals basis, irrespective of when amounts are actually received.
-
Grants and Donations (voluntary income) are recognised in the period they are received. In cases where the donor specifies that the income is to finance expenditure arising in later accounting periods, the amount is shown as restricted funds in the current year.
-
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, and 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.
-
Investment income (i.e. interest from account deposits and similar income) is recognised as it is earned. Any amounts of investment income which have been earned but not paid over at the year end are recognised in income and are accrued within prepayments in the balance sheet.
-
Fund-raising income (income from activities for generating funds) is recognised when it is received.
-
• Other income, including income from legacies, is generally recognised when it is received.
Restricted income and restricted funds
Where funds are donated for a specific purpose, they are treated as restricted income. As that purpose is fulfilled, the corresponding expenditure is allocated to the fund. This expenditure is a combination of actual direct costs and, where allowed by the donor, a proportion of indirect costs based on the service-delivery capacity spent fulfilling the restricted purpose.

Depreciation
Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated to write off their cost or valuation less any residual value over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
-
Office equipment: 33% straight line
-
Loan equipment: 33% straight line
Costs of charitable activities
Includes all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity, on an accruals basis and inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered.
Pension costs
The company makes contributions for former NHS employees into the NHS Pension Scheme. This is a defined benefit scheme, which is externally funded and contracted out of the State Earnings Related Pension Scheme. Under the definitions set out in FRS102 (28.11) the NHS Pension Scheme is a multi-employer plan. The charitable company is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the plan. Accordingly, the charitable company has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 102 and has accounted for its contribution to the scheme as if it were a deferred-contributions plan.
The company also operates a defined contribution scheme, where the assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Contributions payable for the year are charged to the income and expenditure account in the year to which they relate.
Leases
Annual commitments under leases are shown in Note 12. The charity does not have any hire purchase or finance leases.
Deferred income
Where the charity has entered into a contract to deliver services which have not been completed at the year end, the amount of income relating to services to be delivered after the year end is not recognised as income and is included in deferred income within creditors on the balance sheet.
Matters of Judgement and Estimation
The main area of the accounts subject to judgement and estimation is the income recognised on contracts which span more than one accounting period. The degree of completeness is estimated by reference to the staff time and other costs which have been expended in each project. See also the deferred income note above.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax. It is not registered for VAT.
Legal status
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member on winding-up is £1.
