TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements of Leeway Domestic Violence & Abuse Services (the company) for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the 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

The objective of Leeway Domestic Violence & Abuse Services ("Leeway") is to provide temporary accommodation and other services to adults and children who are subject to domestic abuse. Leeway has established policies covering all specific services and functions provided by the organisation.

b. Strategies for achieving objectives

Objectives and activities (continued)

c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

Leeway carries out these objectives by providing:

d. Main activities undertaken to further the company's purposes for the public benefit

The Trustees confirm that, in exercising their powers and duties, they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.

Leeway's charitable purposes satisfy both public and benefit aspects. All the above activities were identified to be beneficial for the public as a whole over 48 years of service.

Domestic abuse became an extensive problem of our society and it cannot be specified by type or agenda. Leeway had been giving support to women and children for many years, when the need for male services became apparent. As from 2010 Leeway broadened its objectives to become more versatile and we are proud to exercise our expertise in a variety of cases involving male and female victims as well as providing education programmes to children and young people.

Domestic Abuse Awareness and Practical Application to DASH training became an integral part in educating professionals working with the public. The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk recognised the need for such education and has been supporting Leeway in this initiative.

Leeway keeps evidence of public benefit in the form of documented cases and statistics. Trustees of Leeway believe that the main charitable purpose of the organisation is so clearly beneficial that it requires very little evidence to prove it.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Achievements and performance

a. Key performance indicators

The Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 March 2022 shows a decrease in income of £220,706 and an increase in expenditure of £220,412. The deficit reported for the year ended 31 March 2022 is £178,881; surplus for the previous year (2020/2021) was £262,237.

2021/2022 was a challenging year for Leeway due to Covid19. However, we managed to work with our funding commissioners and supporters to not only maintain the current levels of service, as some services were due to end during Covid, but raise funding to increase the level of services in order to meet the growing demand for them, mostly caused by Covid19 lockdowns. Leeway's financial strategy for 2021/2022 was to continue increasing sustainable resources for challenging times ahead. We have a positive outlook for 2022/2023 and hope to raise more sustainable income as well as further expand our services to support more domestic abuse cases in Norfolk and Suffolk.

b. Review of activities

Leeway worked hard over the last 12 months to manage financial uncertainty created by the Covid19 pandemic. The organisation's key aim of minimising any loss of front-line staff has been achieved, despite some significant services funding due to end and not having the ability to run our planned fundraising income events, that support our vital services. This has enabled the organisation to maintain vital support for those affected by domestic abuse.

Being one of East Anglia's leading providers of domestic abuse services Leeway has been continuously expanding over the last few years, we were successful in tendering for the Norfolk Integrated Domestic Abuse Service (NIDAS), in partnership with the Daisy Programme and Safe Partnership, this service for medium and high risk victims of domestic abuse commenced on 3rd January 2022, opened a new safehouse in Kings Lynn, bringing our total number of refuges and safehouses to 9 and were awarded the Domestic Abuse Charity of the Year by Central England Prestige Awards.

Leeway has successfully achieved Leading Lights, National Women's Aid and Investors in People accreditations.

Achievements and performance (continued)

c. Factors relevant to achieve objectives

Leeway is aware of the following factors which may affect the way it operates. These factors are outside of the organisation's control:

Factors, which can be controlled by the organisation:

d. Fundraising activities and income generation

Leeway met its targets for income generation and fundraising in 2021/2022. The total donations and fundraising income amounted to £154,858, which was slightly lower than 2020/2021's £171,458. This comprised of general donations, income from virtual fundraising events, crowdfunding, and corporate sponsorship.

The trust fund officer was very successful generating £15,500 income from trust fund applications to support the vital services, such as our advice and support line, which was a lot lower than the £56,050 achieved in 2020/2021.

The senior management team were extremely successful in obtaining £7,306,978 of new and continuation service contracts in order to meet the growing demand for services during Covid19, far surpassing last years £1,526,533.

Other services for which income was raised include domestic abuse training sessions.

e. Investment policy and performance

Leeway’s approach to investments is to maximise benefit of resources, where appropriate. Investments are very carefully considered and not aimed to generate a profit. Investments are approved with the view to sustain the financial performance of the organisation and to mitigate risks.

LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES

(A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

During these uncertain times with Covid19 we have ensured that we continue to provide the much needed services for people living with domestic abuse. We have adapted our services to offer virtual support where possible, worked with funding commissioners to ensure that any gaps in service are covered and that the staff and service users have access to IT equipment and secured continuation funding for services that were due to end during lockdown.

b. Reserves policy

Leeway has been able to continue its policy of maintaining funds at a level that equates to approximately three months expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover direct expenditure. Leeway's current free reserves are £569,167 (2020/2021 - £642,212).

c. Principal risks and uncertainties

Leeway's fundraising strategy and plans are regularly reviewed and updated. Such reviews ensure that we fully diversify funding to mitigate the risk of over dependence on one source of income. Leeway has exceeded its income generation targets for 2021/2022 and will continue to accumulate financial resources in the upcoming year in order to ensure that we can mitigate any potential funding cuts.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

Leeway has a robust risk management policy, procedure and register that is updated regularly to identify any potential areas of financial risk and ensure that appropriate systems are in place to mitigate them.

Page 6

LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES

(A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

e. Principal funding

Over the years, Leeway has built up a broad income stream drawing from many areas of funding to spread risk and to avoid excessive dependency on any single source of finance.

In 2021/2022 Leeway has received funds from a number of charitable trusts and foundations and is very grateful for their support: Paul Bassham Trust, Norfolk Community Foundation, Moncrief Trust, John Jarrold Trust and Cozens Hardy Trust.

We are grateful for financial support provided to us by various organisations and individuals, this support was critical to us achieving sustainability, enhancing existing services and starting new initiatives.

A proportion of donations are received as gifts in kind: the food and goods such as toys are subsequently distributed to Leeway's service users. Leeway is grateful for the general public support in the form of donations received during the year.

f. Information on fundraising practices

Leeway employs a fundraising and events officer, for which the Management Committee set an annual fundraising target to achieve in order to support the charity's activities. Leeway is not bound by any voluntary scheme or standard of fundraising. We ensure that we follow Charity Commission guidance and that all fundraising is clearly documented and accounted for. No complaints have been received by the charity, or a person acting on its behalf, in relation to fundraising.

Leeway ensures that we do not contact people directly for money or other property, we advertise through our events, social media and posters that we are collecting and for what purpose and it is up to individuals to decide whether or not to participate. We also ensure that we comply with GDPR legislation with regards to sending out information about our events.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Plans for future periods

Leeway is a relatively well positioned voluntary organisation. The current business plan addresses many of the challenges facing Leeway into the future. There is likely to be increased use of commissioning as a way of delivering services in the future, but with increased competition for funds. Some of Leeway's contracts are heading to an end, we do not know whether they will be at a reduced funding rate or in a different form. This is a rolling yearly process for some contracts and is nothing new within the voluntary sector or for Leeway. Therefore Leeway needs to be able to respond quickly to new initiatives and keep ahead of national issues affecting local priorities. There are key issues Leeway needs to focus on in order to maximize the strengths and opportunities and to address the challenges of the weaknesses and threats. Leeway will continue to expand the social enterprise to maximise income and increase awareness of domestic violence and abuse and promote the Leeway services.

Geographical coverage - Different local authorities have different approaches to commissioning and to delivery of services: for example, Norfolk commission services differently to Suffolk. In Suffolk the refuge services are much less developed and there has been no review of refuge provision across the county. It is possible that this will be reviewed in the future and therefore could create further tendering opportunities. At this stage it seems sensible to concentrate mainly on expanding and sustaining Norfolk Refuge and Community services as a priority and building on our Suffolk services when funding opportunities become available. Growth across the two counties will enable Leeway to deliver the required domestic violence/abuse services for service users and to allow the organisation to build greater capacity. This will allow Leeway to absorb more of the central costs, thus making Leeway a more cost-effective service provider and able to compete by offering value for money services in a very competitive environment. However a realistic approach in providing pilot and short-term projects needs to be recognized across the organisation and that, as a voluntary/third sector organisation, some services may not continue once the funding ends. The social enterprise domestic abuse training can be delivered both locally and nationally providing it is cost effective and possible within current existing resources through the promotion and marketing of the service. We hope to expand and develop this service in the future.

Government Agenda - Work with the impact of Local Government changes and locality commissioning changes ie:

Promotion & marketing of the organisation - Engaging the management team with the support of coordinators to promote the organisation with commissioners. Our competitors are clearly targeting commissioners within local authorities to promote their own services but also to 'assist' with the development of services for the local authorities. Some of this means ensuring Leeway's representation at key meetings. However there is also the development of the informal networks and support of newer projects local authorities may be considering - e.g. pilot projects. The staff will need to be trained, both at induction and internally by line managers, to actively promote the core values and mission of the organisation and to ensure the organisation is always positively promoted whilst networking and to seek out and report back any possible new working partnerships and funding opportunities to their line managers. This strategy is separate from the function of the marketing and sustainability role which predominantly focuses on raising awareness of the organisational brand within the local community to generate funds.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Plans for future periods (continued)

Service user involvement - Developing service user involvement in a more strategic way. Historically service users have always been involved in the development of Leeway's services; a staff survey carried out internally some time ago showed that over 55% of staff are survivors of domestic or sexual violence and some were exservice users and had contact with Leeway at some point. We work with service users in a way that enables them to develop and have control of their own support package. However we need to develop this on a more strategic level where we evidence service user involvement and actively develop service user forums in order to enable service users to actively participate in the organisation. This will help ensure we meet our quality assessment framework for Adult Social Care, although we have no indication as yet whether the QAF will still be used for assessment purposes at this stage, we will follow the assumption that some kind of assessment will be required.

Members' liability

The Members of the company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company 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 Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Leeway Domestic Violence & Abuse Services (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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:

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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 charitable 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.

Page 12

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, 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.

Page 13

LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES

(A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES (CONTINUED)

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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 Auditors' 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:

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company.

Our approach was as follows:

Page 14

LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES

(A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES (CONTINUED)

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees 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 its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. General information

Leeway Domestic Violence & Abuse Services is a private company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The Members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per Member of the company.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Leeway Domestic Violence & Abuse Services 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.

2.2 Going concern

Despite the uncertainties arising from Covid19, the Trustees are confident that the charity can continue its successful track record of securing the funds needed to support its valuable work. This will be achieved by the senior managers and fundraising team applying for grants and donations. The charity’s annual budgets and fundraising log demonstrate how the income will be raised to meet all the charitable expenditure and support costs. The Trustees therefore consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the 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.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 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 on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Government grants

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.

2.6 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.8 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 the 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 presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.

2.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.10 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.

2.11 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 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 in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.12 Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.13 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2.14 Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

2.15 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 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 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.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
