## **CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE**
Dear Friends,
Assalamu Alaykum,
Last year, your compassion reached over 1.5 million people around the world, bringing hope to communities devastated by war, floods, poverty and displacement. Your support enabled us to deliver water, food, shelter, education and healthcare to some of the world’s most vulnerable families.
During the unfolding crisis in Gaza, your support remained unwavering. You helped us reach families trapped in devastating conditions, at the moment it was needed most. In the midst of immense hardship, your compassion stood as a quiet yet powerful source of hope.
This annual report highlights some of our recent achievements and activities and also documents our financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025. I hope you enjoy browsing through this brochure, learning more about the impact you’ve made around the world. Please continue to support Muslim Charity.
This annual report highlights some of our recent achievements and activities, including our collaboration with IOM (the UN Migration Agency), participation at the United Nations General Assembly and documents our financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025.

## **Recruiting and Appointing Trustees**
All of our trustees are volunteers, chosen because they have the diverse range of skills, knowledge and experience that we need to respond to the challenges of today. Stakeholders and partners may nominate trustees and sometimes we will make a personal approach to potential candidates.

## **Responsibilities of Directors and Trustees**
The Annual Report and Financial Statements are prepared according to the relevant law and regulations and approved by the Company Directors.

The records also disclose our financial position with reasonable accuracy at any time, and enable directors to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charity Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2015.
## **Grant Making Policies**
We provide grants to projects if the request meets our charitable objectives and criteria. Project grant making is managed according to a designated process which is documented in our “Operational Risk-Management Framework”. We aim to treat all grant applications professionally, equally and fairly. We make the final decision as to eligibility to receive a grant, at our discretion.
## **Employees**
We support and develop the skills of our employees. We encourage all of our colleagues to engage with the strategy and objectives, and to give their suggestions and views on performance and strategy. We are an equal opportunities employer and are proud to recruit and promote our staff based on their aptitude and ability, without discrimination. The majority of staff benefit from policies focusing on training and career development as well as regular supervision and appraisals.
## **Where We Work**

## **OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIC ACTIVITIES**
## **FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT**
## **The objects of the charity are set out below:**
**1.** To relieve poverty, distress and suffering amongst people in any part of the world [including starvation, sickness, or any physical disability or affliction] primarily, but not exclusively, when arising from any public calamity [including famine, earthquake, pestilence, war or civil disturbance].
**2.** To advance education in the United Kingdom, in particular [but not exclusively] the teaching of Islamic studies, for the benefit of the people of the Islamic faith.
Our **Vision 2023** strategic plan outlines the specific areas where we, as Muslim Charity, are focusing on to contribute to our global mission. It’s a bold ambition and there is much work being done. We are working alongside the families, communities, volunteers, supporters and in partnership with others who share our ambitions, to create significant, meaningful and much-needed change.
**Vision 2023** is an ambitious but realistic strategic plan which identifies five Operational Goals, defines specific objectives and outlines a set of workstreams we are undertaking with our staff, supporters and partners. We want to harness the passion, commitment and talent of our trustees, staff, networks, beneficiaries and volunteers to create and define an effective way of encouraging philanthropy to support people in need within the UK and around the world.

## **MUSLIM CHARITY AND IOM COLLABORATE TO STRENGTHEN AFGHAN COMMUNITY FACILITIES**
**The UN Migration Agency (IOM) and Muslim Charity** have entered a new partnership to improve access to essential services for vulnerable communities across Afghanistan. Muslim Charity is supporting the construction and rehabilitation of priority education and health facilities identified through IOM’s Community Action Plans.
Afghanistan continues to face severe humanitarian and economic challenges, worsened by large-scale returns from neighbouring countries. In 2025 alone,
more than **2.1 million Afghans returned home,** placing increasing pressure on already fragile community systems. Many returnees and displaced families continue to struggle to access basic services.
The collaboration aims to strengthen community resilience, expand access to schools and health centres and create short-term employment opportunities for local workers. This initiative marks a significant effort to support Afghan families as they rebuild their lives with dignity and long-term stability.

**TUK-TUK CHALLENGE PAKISTAN 2025 AN ADVENTURE FUELLED BY PURPOSE**
In September 2025, volunteers from across the UK embarked on Muslim Charity’s annual Tuk-Tuk Challenge, travelling through bustling cities, rural towns and scenic landscapes across Punjab, Pakistan. Over eight days, participants navigated busy streets and country roads, experiencing Pakistan’s vibrant culture and hospitality from the unique perspective of a tuk-tuk.
Behind the adventure was a meaningful mission: raising funds to provide tuk-tuks to families in need, enabling sustainable livelihoods and long-term independence. Along the journey, participants visited Muslim Charity projects, including schools,
water systems and community facilities, witnessing first-hand the transformative impact of donor support.
The challenge concluded with a moving handover ceremony in Multan, where families received their tuk-tuks and a new sense of hope. For many volunteers, the experience was not only an unforgettable journey but a powerful reminder of what collective compassion can achieve.

## **FUTURE**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
In the years ahead, we aim to continue the organisation’s growth
and impact by focusing on the key operational goals that are
outlined in our Vision 2023 strategic plan:
**----- End of picture text -----**
## **Operational Goal 1: Investing in People**
We depend on our trustees, staff and volunteers and we must value, understand and inspire them. For people to be able to deliver the strategic plan, Muslim Charity will be an agile, flexible organisation with skilled and motivated trustees, staff and volunteers.
## **Operational Goal 2: Strengthening Accountability**
Muslim Charity’s strategic plan will best be realised by being more accountable in the ways we govern ourselves and treat each other. Accountability, both to the communities living in poverty and to our supporters, donors and other external stakeholders, is an ethical and effective basis for our relationships and will contribute significantly to greater organisational impact and trust.
## **Operational Goal 3: Income Strategy**
There is huge potential for fundraising success in the short and long terms if we build on the success of our brand identity and remain honest and true to our values. This will require continuing and building on the successes we have achieved so far
as well as entry to new markets, increased networking and innovation with affiliates and encouraging and empowering our volunteer groups in order to create a bigger impact to the lives of the needy that we serve. This will secure more and larger revenues from institutional donors and greater net income from individual supporters; and will strengthen individual affiliates and provide the right balance of flexible resources required to achieve our organisational objectives.
## **Operational Goal 4:**
## **Improved Governance and Development of Operational Structure**
The implementation of our strategic plan requires provision of adequate resources, vertical and horizontal approaches to coordinate and bridge the departments along with building alliances with external stakeholders.
## **Operational Goal 5: Improved Process and Systems**
Through our strategic plan we aim to build strong financial, administration, risk management and IT systems in order to bring about positive change and make a greater impact to the people and communities we serve around the world.
**Plans for the Future**
**51**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting policies as set out in the financial statements.
No material uncertainties that may cast a doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern have been identified by the trustees.
## **Income**
The total income for the year was £8.14 million. This is an increase of £1.05 million from the previous year’s income of £7.09 million. The increase in donations from our supporters reflects our unshakeable commitment to supporting vulnerable and needy communities around the world and the trust placed in us by our supporters and donors.
In terms of our annual fundraising calendar, we received increased activity and donations during the periods of Ramadan (March 2025) and Qurbani/Eid-ul-Adha (May/June 2025). The increased resources enabled us to make a positive difference to the lives of needy families and communities around the world.
We have continued to observe changing trends in donor behaviour, particularly in the ways supporters choose to make their donations. Over recent years, there has been a gradual decline in donations received through traditional methods, such as cheques and telephone donations, alongside a significant increase in donations made through our website and other online channels.
In response to these changing preferences, we have continued to enhance our digital giving platforms by improving our website functionality and introducing additional payment options, including Instant Bank Payments and Express Checkout. These improvements have made the donation process simpler, faster and more convenient for our supporters.
We remain committed to investing in the ongoing development of our website and digital services. Planned improvements will make the website faster, more reliable and better equipped to support the growing number of supporters who donate online, particularly during peak campaign periods such as Ramadan and Qurbani, when many people access the website at the same time.
The trust we have established with our donors and the feedback we provide to them (both customised individual feedback for specific tangible projects such as our Safe Water programme and collective general feedback) has meant that we have seen repeat donations and new donors come forward to support our interventions for the needy.
**Financial Review**
**52**
## **Expenditure**
Muslim Charity has continued to strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of its charitable activities through partnerships with established and reputable organisations that share our commitment to delivering highquality humanitarian and development programmes. This collaborative approach enables us to maximise the impact of funds entrusted to us by our supporters, while ensuring aid is delivered efficiently, transparently and in accordance with our governance and compliance standards. The process for identifying, assessing and working with partner organisations is set out in detail within our Operational Risk Management Framework.
During the year, we further strengthened our partnership approach, including our collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Migration Agency. We were also honoured to participate in discussions during the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025, reflecting the growing recognition of Muslim Charity as a trusted humanitarian partner and our commitment to contributing to international humanitarian efforts.
Charitable expenditure during the year amounted to £7.05 million, an increase from £6.41 million in the previous year. This continued growth reflects our unwavering commitment to directing resources towards those most in need and ensuring our programmes deliver lasting and meaningful benefits to the communities we serve.
## **Reserve Policy**
The Trustees recognise the need to hold sufficient reserves to allow protection of core activities in the event of any income shortfalls. The policy aims to have sufficient free reserves to enable Muslim Charity to withstand any unexpected drop in donations and hold at least the equivalent of six months headquarters and other fixed operating costs. The Trustees are pleased they have met their reserve policy and will review it again during 2027.
**Financial Review**
**53**
## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT**
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.
## **In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:**
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Each of the persons who is a trustee at the date of approval of this report confirms that:**
- so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditor is unaware; and
- they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditor is aware of that information.
**Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement**
**54**
The auditor is deemed to have been re-appointed in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees’ annual report and the strategic report were approved on 22nd July 2026 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

**Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MUSLIM CHARITY**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of MUSLIM CHARITY: HELPING THE NEEDY (‘the charitable company’) and its subsidiary (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 October 2025 which comprise of the Consolidated and Charity Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Charity Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## **In our opinion the financial statements:**
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s and overall group's affairs as at 31 October 2025 and group's incoming resources and application of resources, including their income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
- 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 auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity and the group 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 charity’s and the group's 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 group’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.
**Independent Auditor’s Report**
**56**
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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.
## **Opinions 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 for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Independent Auditor’s Report
**----- End of picture text -----**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity, the group and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charity or the group, 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.
**57**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 charity’s and the group’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 charity or the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **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 an auditor’s report 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:
- The engagement partner ensured that they engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charitable company through discussion with Trustees and other management and review of appropriate industry knowledge.
- We assessed the extent of compliance with laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and reviewing all relevant correspondence.
## **To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:**
- Performed analytical procedures as a risk assessment tool to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
- Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
- Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias;
## **As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:**
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
**Independent Auditor’s Report**
**58**
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity’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 charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025**
## **1. General information**
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Eaton Hall, Retford, Nottinghamshire, DN22 0PR.
## **Resources expended**
Resources expended are recognised in the year in which they are incurred.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
## **2. Statement of compliance**
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **3. Accounting policies Basis of preparation**
## **Incoming resources**
Voluntary income is derived by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when Muslim Charity: Helping The Needy is entitled to the receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Gifts in Kind which Muslim Charity: Helping The Needy accepts full responsibility for distribution are included in income at their market value when it is distributed and under Charitable Activities at the same value and time. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Governance costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management.
## **Going concern**
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**
**64**
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Operating leases**
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
## **Tangible assets**
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and Fittings - 20% reducing balance Motor Vehicles - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 33% reducing balance
**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**
**65**
## **Impairment of fixed assets**
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
## **Stocks**
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
## **Financial instruments**
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
**Notes to the Financial Statements**
**66**
## **Defined contribution plans**
## **Basis of consolidation**
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary, TEAMMC Limited, on a line-by-line basis.
## **4. Limited by guarantee**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 4. In the event of the charity being wound up the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
