TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Board of Trustees are pleased to present their Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2021. The Trustees’ Annual Report contains a Directors’ Report as required by company law. The financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS102 (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The main objectives of the charity as set out in the charity’s Articles of Association and memorandum are to provide assessment, treatment and interventions, and information to young people in the areas of Health (mainly Mental Health) and other areas relevant to young people, and to research into adolescence and the causes of adolescent breakdown.
The principal activities of the charity continue to be the provision of services to young people in the area of Mental Health and development of a clinical audit, an outcome study on adolescent psychotherapy and research into adolescent breakdown. The Brent Adolescent Centre (BAC) provides Adolescent Exploratory Therapy (AET) and Psychotherapy services to help young people who experience a range of emotional and mental health difficulties. The most prevalent problems across all service users in the past year include:
-
Anxiety 93%
-
Depression: 86%
-
Difficult relationship with family: 83%
-
Difficult relationship with peers: 75%
-
Sleep disturbances: 75%
These challenges can be addressed head-on though the Centre’s range of therapy services. If they aren’t talked through in early adulthood, the problem presented can significantly impair mental and physical health, and limit young people’s ability to progress into fulfilling adult lives.
Increasingly complex difficulties that the Centre’s young people faced included:
-
Post-traumatic stress: 40%
-
Self-harm: 36%
-
Suicide risk: 28%
-
Gender identity issues: 14%
This year, we saw a significantly higher proportion of young people who showed signs of severe anxiety in relation to exams and academic performance. It seems likely that this is related to the educational disruption caused by Covid.
The aim is to help young people make positive changes and improve their wellbeing. This can lead to:
-
Improved relationships
-
Reduced social exclusion
-
Lower risk of breakdown in adulthood
-
Better educational attainment

BRENT ADOLESCENT CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
TRUSTEE ’ S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Centre’s activities are provided through eight projects, Individual Adolescent Exploratory Therapy (AET), Individual Psychotherapy, Parental Support and Family Therapy, Practical Support, Young Offenders Project, Schools Services, Sport and Thought and Research. AET, Psychotherapy, Parent Support and Family Therapy, Practical Support and Research activities are undertaken at Laufer House and the other projects take place in outreach locations such as Schools and the Brent Youth Offending Services.
-
Adolescent Exploratory Therapy (AET): Is a unique therapeutic provision developed by the Brent Centre specifically to meet the needs of adolescents. Through a series of consultations in which a young person explores their feelings and difficulties, and begins to understand what is worrying them and why. The young person and therapist will think together about what changes could be made and what might make the person feel better. Proven to help young people cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and even suicidal thoughts, sessions last for 45 minutes and continue for as long as they are needed.
-
Individual psychotherapy: Designed for those who have had AET but need additional support, sessions are offered three times a week for up to three years. This gives young people space to understand their situation, feelings and behaviours - empowering them to make needed changes.
-
Parental support: Support is offered to parents and carers whose children BAC are already in Therapy. This creates opportunity for them to talk openly about their child’s needs, discuss concerns and develop new ways to help their loved one overcome the issues they face.
-
Family therapy: Engaging parents, carers and siblings in group work , where they are encouraged to take an active role in the treatment process. Guided by BAC therapists, they learn to understand the difficulties they face and work together to build a better future.
-
Practical support: Offered alongside therapy for as long as it is needed. It is designed to help young people access key services such as education, health, housing and employment – smoothing out practical challenges so that they are better able to address their mental health difficulties.
-
Working with Young Offenders: The Young Offenders Project is based at the Brent Civic Centre working in conjunction with the Youth Offending Service. At the Youth Offending Service (YOS) BAC offer AET, parent support, family therapy and group discussion programmes. On behalf of the YOS BAC run one-off victim awareness sessions for youths on conditional cautions or out of court disposals. BAC staff also provide support to YOS staff, helping them to better identify signs of distress and understand the mental health needs of the young people under their care.

-
Schools: At schools BAC provide one-to-one support through AET and a pilot brief intervention service, for pupils with less severe difficulties. In response to specific concerns raised by teachers, BAC provide therapeutic group work for pupils to work through shared difficulties together. BAC supports academic and pastoral care staff to better identify and assist students struggling with mental health. Lastly, BAC provide parents and carers the chance to talk openly about their children’s needs through parental or family therapy. The project is based in two primary, one infant and eight secondary schools. Supervision, individual and group work are provided to school staff.
-
Sport and Thought: Sport & Thought is a combined football coaching and group therapy programme delivered by child psychotherapists. Sport & Thought creates a safe place for young people to build friendships and address the root cause of their behaviours, facilitating improvements in their problematic behaviours, social functions, focus and resilience. The Sport and Thought project is run at two secondary school, and a youth Centre.
-
Research: BAC continue to research the area of adolescent mental health and are currently working on several articles for mental health publications, particularly on young offending and Adolescent Exploratory Therapy. Current research projects include: a detailed prospective clinical study on adolescent suicidality and self-harm; a retrospective study revisiting BAC’s early work on suicidality and adolescence; and a study on Adolescent Exploratory Therapy.
The Brent Adolescent Centre reviews its activities each year against its activities and outcomes from the previous 12 months. The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and deciding the activities the charity undertakes.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Brent Adolescent Centre is delighted that it helped 602 young people (2019/20: 649) through 731 cases during the period (2019/20: 852 cases), during the period total appointment offered were 8,162 (28% increase) (2019/20: 6,399 appointments). The Centre helped 182 (2019/20: 268) young people and families – totaled by recording separate types of cases - at Laufer House (in-house services) offering 3,686 (2019/20: 2,929) appointments, 386 cases (2019/20: 477) through the Brent Centre’s Schools and Sport & Thought Services offering 3559 (2019/20: 3,143) appointments and 44 young people (2019/20: 107) at the Brent Youth Offending Service offering 322 (2019/20: 327) appointments. The number of young people helped were slightly less than previous year due to covid-19 we had to adapt the services to deliver remotely via online and telephone but we managed to continue all our services through the pandemic and lockdown, offering more appointment compared to previous year, due to increase in more complex and severe cases.
Crisis Project
Responding swiftly to the pandemic, the Centre launched an enhanced intervention in our schools, providing varying lengths of treatment through reflection groups, assemblies, and 1:1 therapy. This helped to reach a wider population, including students who may not have presented with overt problems. From the group work, 80% of students improved or stabilized their academic performance, and 96% improved or stabilized their suicidal ideation. Through Crisis project group and assemblies work we were able to reach 3,964 students in our schools programme.

BRENT ADOLESCENT CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
TRUSTEE ’ S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
We received overwhelmingly positive feedback on our enhanced service, with one of our school partners saying:
‘The funded short-term service has been a real asset to our therapeutic work at Preston Manor, it was timely and effective, providing support when we most needed it and adding a level of versatility and agile responsiveness which we would otherwise have lacked…’
The Centre provided 728 (2019/20: 7 7 6 ) individual appointments to 186 (2019/20: 188) professionals in Schools, Youth Offending Service. The Centre also provided 64 (2019/20: 51) group appointments to professionals in Schools and at the Youth Offending Service.
The Brent Adolescent Centre has continued to develop its outreach therapeutic work in 11 schools in the borough of Brent and Ealing, including 4 new partnerships, and the Brent Youth Offending Service. During the period, the Brent Adolescent Centre continued to run and develop the ‘Sport and Thought’ project, which combines mental health counselling with football, in two schools and the OK Club. The young people BAC supported through Sport & Thought usually struggle to regulate their emotions and display challenging behavior, and often are at risk of exclusion.
The young people who used BAC services during 2020/21 were aged between 4 and 24, including primary schools, and their ethnicities reflect the diversity of the London Borough of Brent and the other boroughs in which the Brent Adolescent Centre works.
To assess the impact of their work on young people, the Brent Centre conducts regular clinical audits of their service. Therapists regularly provide assessments of their patients, so that it is possible to track progress over time and understand the impact of therapy. Young people are also asked to periodically complete a self-assessment, which helps us to build a picture of their own sense of wellbeing and any changes. By comparing the data from a young person’s initial assessment with their closing or most recent assessment, we can measure change in presentation and provide an indicator of therapeutic progress. The information from these assessments Is measured according to five key outcome areas for each young person: mental health/emotional difficulties, social functioning, academic/employment functioning, risks towards self and risks towards others.
Note: the therapeutic context acknowledges stabilisation of difficulties is an important step towards recovery, as such it is recognised as an achievement. Improvements in specific areas not necessarily means total recovery.

BRENT ADOLESCENT CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
TRUSTEE ’ S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
“Getting acquainted with anger” – A Schools Case Study:
Rebecca is 16 and was referred to our service after repeatedly getting into trouble for aggressive outbursts at school. The school had tried everything but no amount of reasoning helped Rebecca once she felt treated unfairly and she was at real risk of being permanently excluded.
But Rebecca’s family life was not well-known to school staff and her work with her therapist uncovered the reality of her difficult home life – that she lived in a refuge with her mother and an older sister who had significant needs of her own. They lived all together in one room unsure if this was a permanent home or whether they’d be moved on. Growing up in poverty, with her father working abroad, Rebecca had been left to fend for herself throughout much of her childhood.
Rebecca had a real fear that if she opened up about her feelings this would only lead to her being let-down. But overtime, the trusted relationship she built up with her therapist provided Rebecca with a reliable and thoughtful space where she felt listened to.
This process of opening up and talking about her problems enabled Rebecca to understand what caused her anger and better manage her emotions. Now when Rebecca becomes angry, or feels slighted, she is able to understand the experience enough to give herself a way out without becoming aggressive. This led to less school isolations and improved her ability to concentrate on her studies. By the end of the treatment, Rebecca was able to take her GCSE’s, and discussed with her therapist plans to apply to college. More importantly, her therapist also felt Rebecca's new self-awareness and new understanding of her own feelings would stand her in good stead when facing challenging situations in the future.

BRENT ADOLESCENT CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
TRUSTEE ’ S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Brent Adolescent Centre remains highly dependent on the generosity of our donors for our daily activities. Demand for our expertise and services to vulnerable young people has never been greater. The main sources of income for the Brent Adolescent Centre have been through Brent CCG, Schools and Grant Making Trusts to provide the services to young people to date, and we expect this to remain the case, whilst we adopted to work during the pandemic and begin to implement our strategic plan.
RESERVES POLICY
Brent Adolescent Centre's policy is to set aside enough funds, equivalent to between six to nine month’s expenditure to give the charity a reliable safety net against financial fluctuations.
Each year the Executive Committee of Trustees reviews the appropriate level of reserves by assessing the risks facing the Brent Adolescent Centre and the potential financial impact of these. The policy requires the Trustees to ensure that the reserves are adequateto:
-
allow time for fundamental restructuring in the event of a major downturn and consequential future funding uncertainties;
-
enable the charity to continue the ongoing programme of work, much of which is long-term in nature, in spite of unexpected variations in income.
As at the end of the year, of the total reserves, the amount of free reserves held by the Brent Adolescent Centre was £1,012,211 which is approx. nine months of the charity’s expenditure. The Trustees review the activities and expenditure of the charity and consider which services and expenditure could be reduced, if needed.
The charity is wholly dependent on regular and consistent funding in order to carry out its work with Young People. Whilst our fundraising activity results in a spread of income from a broad range of sources, some of which is longer term, the impact of sudden and major loss in income would impose a significant risk on our ability to maintain our activities. However, our reserves policy provides for a period of stability. In addition, the Centre owns the freehold interest in its building in Brondesbury Park, providing further security in extremis. Further risks which have been identified include allegations of impropriety of our personnel and more usual risks associated with natural catastrophes, such as fire, flood, communications failure, data breach, etc. (most of which are covered by our insurance, in any case). Risks are reviewed regularly.
Brent Adolescent Centre aims to keep the amount invested in reserves such that, most of the income can be spent on the services that it provides to young people, while also ensuring reasonable financial security.

TRUSTEE ’ S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
A Summary of the Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) on operations at Brent Centre
At the time of writing this report, the UK was still fighting the impacts of COVID-19. In mid-March 2020, Government guidelines dictated that we needed to close our Centre as we were unable to guarantee social distancing for our staff, trainees, service users and visitors. The Covid-19 control measures affected the charity’s activities in the following ways;
-
All face to face sessions were changed to phone/online contacts with the service users
-
All staff and trainees worked from home
-
Our Clinic for in-house patient was closed and online/phone support was provided
-
All schools and outreach services were provided via phone/online.
-
Impact on the Income – we are very grateful to our funders who during the pandemic continued their support and our schools and NHS CCG to continue their contracts to continue our services during the pandemic.
-
We will continue submitting numerous applications and bids for funding to continue the services in the future.
-
We can make use built up unrestricted reserves to cover any gap that arises.
Response:
-
Regular support to staff and trainees, providing IT support to work from home
-
We re-opened the clinic partially in October 2020 but we had to close the clinic again in January 2021 as the government announced second lockdown.
-
At the writing of the report we have opened our clinic fully at Laufer House from October 2021 to provide our services face to face and also all our outreach staff are back at the schools and youth centres providing the services face to face. We are still offering appointment to those who required remote online appointments.
-
Continued fundraising, from trusts & foundation, NHS and schools contracts, donations and events.
-
Identified and reducing the running costs
-
Continue assessment by the board as to the ongoing impact of Covid-19
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
At the time of writing this report we have opened all our services face to face. Our clinic at Laufer house is opened as usual for the patients and families to provide clinical services. Our schools and outreach staff are providing face to face services at the schools and youth centres face to face.
The Brent Adolescent Centre is looking forward to enhancing its services over the next year, working towards providing greater provision of mental health services for young people through all projects subject to funding. The trustees, along with senior management are continuing to develop Strategic Plan according to the charity’s aims and objectives. Through these plans we will fine tune our organisation to reach and support as many young people as possible and see their lives transformed. We are working in a colloboration with The Institute of Psychoanalysis (British Psychoanalytical Society) at Byron House, 112a Shirland Road, Maida Vale, London W9 2BT, in the London Borough of Westminster, to provide the psychotherapy clinic similar to the one we have at Laufer House in Brent. The Institute of Psychoanalysis is the oldest psychoanalytic organisation in the UK with more 100 years of history. We have started pilot work in November 2021 at the London Borough of Westminster. We are also working to start two new schools in Ealing Borough from 2022 supported by John Lyon’s Charity. We have signed new service level agreement with ScotsCare to provide our clinical services to their young people and their families, who come from Scottish descent and lives in London. This new areas of work will help expand our strategic reach to other borough of London and providing our much needed services to the young people, who are in need more than before due to increase in mental health issues and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
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 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 Charity’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 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 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report, which includes the directors’ report prepared 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 Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report.

BRENT ADOLESCENT CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF BRENT ADOLESCENT CENTRE
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, 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 Charity for the purpose 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 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.
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.
As part of our planning process:
-
We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The charity did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity. We determined that the following were most relevant: the Charity SORP, FRS 102, Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006.
-
We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
-
Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:
-
Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.
-
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.
-
Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations.
-
Assessing the validity of the classification of income, expenditure, assets and liabilities between unrestricted and restricted funds.
-
Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank balances.
-
Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions.
-
Reviewing documentation such as the trustee minutes for discussions of irregularities including fraud.

BRENT ADOLESCENT CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Company information
Brent Adolescent Centre is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 51 Winchester Avenue, London, NW6 7TT.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
The trustees have considered the effect of the Covid-19 outbreak. The outbreak has caused little disruption to the company’s business to date, as the charity's clinical services have been provided using online platforms. We had to close the centre, but we continued our services online and by telephone. Income has continued to be received from the multi-year grant agreements and staff have worked from home and attended meetings online. The trustees consider it unlikely that a prolonged outbreak will cause significant disruption. All our funders were particularly supportive during this lockdown period. We re-opened the partial clinical services at the centre from October 2020 and continued to provide services. We restored the outreach services to the schools fully with the re-opening of the schools from the new academic year. Accordingly, at the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Grant income is recognised in full in the year in which it is receivable unless there are specificperformance related conditions that prevent its recognition and instead the income is deferred.
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the amount received or receivable when thereis reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. The charity has received grants under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The scheme is designed to compensate for staff costs, so amounts received or receivable are recognised in the income statement as part of other income over the same period as the costs to which they relate. Government grants are accounted for under the accrual model.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Staff costs not directly identified have been allocated on the following basis:
Fundraising costs Direct cost Support costs 12% of total cost Direct charitable activities 88% of total cost
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold property 3% on reducing balance Equipment 25% straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
1.10 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, other than investments, 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.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

BRENT ADOLESCENT CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, 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.
The Trustees do not consider there to be any critical accounting estimates or judgements applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
