be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement
date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of perforniance
before enlitlement can be obiained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the
fulfilment of those Conditions is wiihin the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be
fulfilled.
Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when
their ewnomic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the
item. Fair value is deterniined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. A corresponding
amount is recognised in expenditure.
No amount of time is included in the financial slalements for volunteer time in line with SORP FRS
(102). Further detail is given in the Trustees Annual Report.

activities"
Fixed assets gifts in kind are recognised when receivable are included at fair value. They are noi deferred

l Accounting PolTeies (Continued)
Summary of significant accounting polieks (Continued)
Expenditur¢ recognltion
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and h&$ been classified under headings that
aggregate all costs related io the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or
constructive obligation to make payinents lo third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be
required and ihe amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the
following headings..
Charitable activities
Raising funds
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the above categories.
I￿ecoverable VA T is charged as an expense against the activity for which the expenditure arose.
Support costs allocalion
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity bui do not directly represent charitable
activities and include office cosls, governance costs and administrative costs. They are incurred
directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs
of disseminating inforn]ation in support of the charitable activities. The analysis of these costs
are included in note 5.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cosi less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated
to write off the cost or valuation of fixed asseis, less capital grant received and their estimated residual
value over expected useful lives on the following basis:.
Freehold property
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
The freehold property is noi depreciated since it is the opinion of the Management Board that il's
market value is in excess of its book value. 11 is a requirement from the Companies Act 2006 and
FRS102 to charge depreciation on all tangible fixed assets. but in the opinion of the management
board, the valuation as stated provides a true and fair view.
The varying depreciation rate for fixtures, fittings and equipment is justifiable as the composition of
some of these assets wear more than others. The rate of application is decided by the Management
Board.
Not depreciated
Between 50 % and IOIY/o
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result
of a past event, It is probable that an ouiflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement
and the amount can be reliably estimated.

over the period of the lease.
