Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2023

The Trustees present their annual report and the audited financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s memorandum and articles (its governing document), the Charities Act 2011, 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) (issued on 16 July 2014 and amended on 2 February 2016).”

The annual report includes the directors’ report as required by company law.

About No Limits

No Limits is an award-winning, local, independent charity providing a unique combination of prevention, early intervention and crisis support to young people, based on a nationally evidenced model. We provide information, advice, counselling and support through a range of services available ‘under one roof’. Set up in 1993 we have grown to support thousands of young people in Southampton and across Hampshire through our advice services and the specialist projects we deliver as well as drop-in sessions in schools/colleges.

We meet the needs of the most deprived, vulnerable and isolated young people who often don’t access mainstream services. By supporting across a wide range of issues including sexual health, relationships, mental health, housing, debt and employment we support young people through the transition from adolescence to adulthood, often helping them climb out of, or avoid, social exclusion. Almost 6,700 children and young people accessed our services last year.

Objectives

No Limits charitable objective is to help relieve and prevent suffering caused by mental or physical ill-health or by social or economic circumstances amongst young people; by establishing, maintaining, and developing an information, advice and counselling service for the individual and/or group.

The No Limits Strategy outlines its vision, mission and values, and identifies priorities and strategic aims for the delivery of its operations.

The Youth Information, Advice and Counselling Service model (YIACS) on which No Limits is based is a nationally proven early intervention model, with a substantial and long-standing evidence base for its effectiveness. Many government and independent reports over the past 30 years have highlighted the effectiveness of holistic 'under one roof' models of service for young people. Young people are offered support on a range of issues in a young person-centred environment. As a YIACS, No Limits 'meets young people where they are’ and brings together youth information, advice on social welfare, emotional health and wellbeing, and counselling services with a range of positive activities and the support of statutory partners.

No Limits achieves its objectives by delivering a range of services. In 2022-23, these included:

Quality and Monitoring

No Limits meets a variety of quality standards demonstrating competence across a range of service delivery, including:

We believe a well-trained workforce leads to safer services for young people, leading to fewer incidents and improved reporting. Health and Safety training is given to employees and their competence to safely perform work tasks assessed by Managers and the CEO.

Our governance structures monitor, review and evaluate activity to ensure that No Limits fulfils its responsibilities as an employer and deliverer of services to children, young people and their families.

Systems are in place to monitor and quality assure the implementation and compliance of safeguarding standards.

No Limits monitors performance using recording systems and databases. Reports are provided on an individual project and funder basis and a wider organisational Impact Report is published annually. Performance of service delivery is monitored through contracts and management systems which identify risk of underperformance.

Working in Partnership

No Limits has been working in the local children and youth services sector for 29 years and is a highly respected and trusted voice for children and young people. We have a long track record of identifying unmet needs and working on creative solutions with partner agencies, and have built and sustained relationships with both voluntary and statutory organisations, to secure the best outcomes for young people. We have strong multi-agency links including with the Youth Offending Service, Probation service, Local Authority services such as Early Help,

3

Housing, Social Care and Public Health; Rape Crisis, Schools, Colleges, Universities, health services, CAMHS, sexual health, substance misuse, Emergency Department and GPs; Missing, Exploited and Trafficked team.

We work in partnership with local voluntary sector organisations including Citizens Advice, Youth Options, Yellow Door and Solent Mind. We are the lead agency in a Hampshire-wide consortium of 11 voluntary sector youth organisations offering counselling to children and young people across the county. Staff contribute to a number of local, regional and national strategic and practitioner groups and forums, representing children and young people's needs.

We host a separate charity, Breakout Youth, providing back office support and office space. Breakout Youth and No Limits have worked together for many years. Breakout Youth provides one to one and group support to children and young people who identify as LGBTQ+.

No Limits Trading Ltd is a 100% owned subsidiary utilising the Charity’s expertise to offer a broad range of counselling, group work and training for individuals, schools, companies and charities. Any taxable profits generated will be gifted to No Limits enabling us to support more children and young people.

Our Structure, Governance and Management

No Limits’ charitable purposes[1] include the following as described in The Charities Act 2011:

The prevention or relief of poverty; the advancement of education; the advancement of health; the advancement of citizenship or community development; the advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation or racial harmony or equality and diversity; the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.

The Charity Trustees' responsibility is to ensure that they carry out their Charity's aims for the public benefit and report on their Charity's public benefit in their Trustees' Annual Report.

Delivery of the charitable purposes is the responsibility of the Trustee board who govern No Limits. The Trustee board meets formally four times per year to review performance, ensure effective governance and provide strategic direction for the future. The Board has three formal sub-committees covering our four strategic areas of operation, each complete with terms of reference who explore issues in greater depth and report back to the Trustee board.

No Limits is committed to having a diverse and active Trustee board. The Trustee Recruitment, Selection and Induction process that No Limits follows is in line with the Charity Commission document RS1.

Day to day management of the Charity is delegated to the Charity's Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Leadership Team who meet regularly to ensure the charity is operationally achieving its charitable objectives.

No Limits’ Chief Executive Officer is Natalie Webb who joined the team in 2020. Natalie has overall responsibility for management of the organisation, leadership, strategic partnerships and developing the service. The Senior Leadership Team includes Head of Services, Head of Finance and Resources, and Head of People and Culture. Together with the CEO they provide leadership across all strategic activities.

Staff and volunteers are well trained, and performance is monitored through a supervision and appraisal system. Sickness is monitored and managed, and staff satisfaction is measured through a regular staff survey.

Our volunteers work across our services and are an essential, much-respected part of our workforce, working alongside our paid staff as equal partners and trained to the same level. All people interested in exploring volunteering opportunities are invited to attend our induction training and are then carefully matched with projects and provided with specialist training. Once in their volunteer post they receive regular supervision from their team leaders and can access clinical supervision if needed.

1 'Charitable purposes' are those that fall within the descriptions of charitable purposes set out in The Charities Act 2011, and that are for the public benefit

4

Young people are encouraged to contribute to service developments through a range of participation methods including our bi-annual consultation, feedback processes and participation in our Youth Ambassadors programme.

The results of our bi-annual ‘Have Your Say’ consultations also inform development and priorities for the organisation, recognising when we could deliver better for young people. Our experience has shown that young people being involved in this way benefits the organisation and the young person.

Our Business Plan

2022 - 23 was the second year of our three-year organisational Strategy.

Our Strategy has four primary goals:

To deliver our services, No Limits needs the right infrastructure in place to support our delivery. As well as people and finance, this includes practical resources like buildings and technology, and essential back-office functions like databases, administration, and communications. We are committed to being a well-managed and governed organisation, and so having a robust approach to risk, governance, partnerships and strategy are all important for us to achieve our vision.

Within each goal, we have a number of ambitions and actions which we use to measure progress against each area.

At No Limits all our services are underpinned by core values, we are:

Our Impact

No Limits has a significant impact on the children and young people it supports. In 2022-23:

Across our services we support children and young people with a range of advice, information and support needs. In 2022-23:

The feedback about No Limits from the people it helps evidences the difference we make. In survey results:

Risk Review

Trustees are responsible for the effective management of risk and for making sure that internal controls are in place and operating as designed. The Trustee Board review and agree the risk strategy and organisational risk matrix. The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Risks are recorded on a Risk Register which the CEO monitors and updates on a regular basis.

The main risks the charity are exposed to, the impact they will have, and the steps we have taken to mitigate or reduce these risks are:

Financial Results

The annual accounts show a surplus of £40,187, a substantial drop from a surplus of £242,036 in 21/22, which reflects the changing economic climate. In years prior to March 2020 a target surplus of 3% of turnover had been agreed by the Trustees to contribute to reserves to protect the Charity in the event of future changes. This accumulated surplus provides No Limits with some financial security for the future as we enter a cost of living crisis with demand for our services increasing.

During the year there has been an 4.3% fall in income. Income from Charitable Activities fell by 3%, grant income fell by 2% and donations dropped back to their usual level following a one-off single large unrestricted donation received in 21/22. No Limits continues to work towards achieving longer term funding to provide stability for the Charity.

Several contracts are due to end either during the year or in March 2024. Tenders are being completed and submitted when issued or, where appropriate, discussions are progressing to extend them. All of these contracts have TUPE rights attached to them and if No Limits are not successful in retaining these contracts a number of staff will be transferred to the new provider reducing our expenditure as income falls.

Principal sources of income in the year were:

Hampshire CCG £612,926 Southampton City Council – DASH £551,093 NHS Hampshire, Southampton & IOW CCG £438,000 Solent NHS Trust £268,371 Hampshire County Council – Frankie project £248,945 Southampton Hospital Charity £245,000 Big Lottery Fund £212,344 Citizens Advice Bureau (Advice, Information & Guidance) £137,156 Portsmouth City Council £135,643 Southampton City Council – Comprehensive Counselling £104,151

Other sources of income are disclosed in Note 4 of the financial statements.

The Charity continues to make a use of volunteers in the course of its charitable activities. Volunteers make a crucial contribution to the Charity including the provision of information and advice at the Charity's Advice Centre, and counselling services at the charity’s Southampton properties. The contribution from volunteers has not been included in the accounts. This is considered to be in accordance with guidance in the SORP.

Governance costs rose slightly to 0.72% of total expenditure compared to 0.6% in the previous year.

Fundraising Activities

Fundraising is carried out by in-house fundraisers employed by the charity; no third parties are involved. The Fundraising Manager and CEO oversee day to day fundraising activities including writing bids and tenders, working with corporate partners and engaging in promotion of the Charity, community fundraising and events. The Finance and Infrastructure Subgroup of the No Limits Trustee Board oversees fundraising and meets quarterly.

No Limits is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and committed to the Fundraising Promise and adherence to the Code of Fundraising Practice. The charity has received no complaints about fundraising in the past 12 months. All staff, including fundraisers, abide by our safeguarding policies and receive regular training in protecting vulnerable people.

During the year, we were grateful to receive significant grants from Children in Need, National Lottery Community Fund, Charles Hayward Foundation and Paul Hamlyn as well as a number of other trusts and foundations. We received generous support from a number of corporate donors to whom we extend our thanks, as well as individual donors and community groups

Future Financial Strategy

Future strategies will continue to focus on a balance of maintaining reserves at a level recommended by the Charity Commission whilst retaining the flexibility to manage potential variations in operational demands which are outside the control of the Charity. The primary annual target is to deliver a break-even budget, with a secondary target for a surplus of 3% of total income each year (approximately £120,000) where conditions allow for this. New funding sources will continue to be sought and secured which will contribute to the generic drop-in advice and support services for which No Limits has built up a substantial reputation and expertise but is not fully funded.

The Trustee strategy for future funding is to continue to broaden the funding base of the Charity into new areas of income such as individual giving and the private business sector.

Reserves Policy

Total reserves are £2,765,387 which includes £15,068 of restricted reserves. £1,552,748 is held as an unrestricted General Reserve. £170,000 is designated as a business development reserve to cover costs of continuing existing services in the event of temporary funding loss, and seed funding for new initiatives. £130,000 is designated as a property maintenance and development fund to help maintain and develop the charity’s properties on The Avenue, Southampton; these funds arise from the sale of the investment property at the year end. £80,000 is designated as a business transformation fund to cover costs of making changes to the structure of the charity such as management training, database improvements and other back office changes. The remaining reserves of £817,571 represent the fixed assets of the Charity.

The Trustees have agreed that reserve requirements should be monitored with reference to:

The unrestricted general reserve amounts to 5 months of unrestricted expenditure. The Trustees are of a view that the Charity is a going concern.

Investment Performance and Policy

The objectives of the No Limits investment policy are to invest surplus funds prudently in accordance with the responsibilities of the trustees. Priority will be given to ensure security and liquidity. Surplus funds will be invested in four ways:

8

The investment strategy will be promoted by firstly agreeing the minimum cash sum for liquidity and then investing the remaining amounts across the other areas detailed above on the recommendation of the No Limits Investment panel. Any new programme related investments will be over the medium term with a view to improving services for children and young people through new enterprises.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also Directors of No Limits (South) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

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

In so far at the Trustees are aware:

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website.

Independent Auditors’ Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 to the Members of No Limits (South)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of No Limits (South) (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cashflows and the 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:

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 accounts 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

11

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:

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.

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:

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.

12

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.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

Audit response to risks identified

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

13

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’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 charitable company’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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

No Limits (South)

Notes (forming part of the financial statements) for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

1 Principal Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

No Limits (South) is a company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have considered that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue. The Trustees have considered the impact of the current cost of living crisis on the Charity’s operations but forecasts indicate that there is sufficient headroom that this does not create a material uncertainty. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. The accounts are rounded to the nearest pound.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

No Limits Trading Ltd is a 100% owned subsidiary of No Limits.

Fund Accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or which have been raised by the charity for specific purposes. Expenditure which meets either of these criteria is identified to the fund.

Designated funds are determined by the Trustees from time to time as being held for specific purposes, for example to hold a reserve in respect of future eventualities such as re-organisation or staff redundancies which may be necessary in the light of predicted funding changes.

Service Provision

Income in respect of contractual services provided to other agencies is accounted for in the period in which the service is provided and is also included under the heading ‘Income from Charitable Activities’.

18

Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on an accruals basis, except to the extent that grants receivable must be applied to future periods of expenditure or are contingent on future requirements being fulfilled, in which case recognition will be when that criteria has been met.

Income from grants receivable are classified as ‘Voluntary Income’ when they are general in nature in support of the charity’s objectives, as opposed to ‘Contract Income’ where funding is closely linked to agreed project outputs. ‘Contract Income’ is classified under ‘Income from Charitable Activities’ along with income from discrete activities for which a fee is charged, e.g. specific work carried out in schools.

Income is deferred if the funder has expressly stated that grants are to be applied to future accounting periods, or if there is some expectation from the funder that amounts in connection with the grant should be repaid in future periods.

Grants receivable in respect of fixed assets are included in the SOFA in the period in which they are received in accordance with the SORP.

‘In-Kind’ contributions or services donated to the charity are normally valued at cost (as determined by the donor) or a reasonable estimate of actual cost if such information is unavailable.

No amount is included in the financial statements for the volunteer time, in line with SORP (FRS 102). Further information is provided in the Trustee’s Report.

Investment income from property is recognised on receipt.

Expenditure

All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer resources. All costs have been directly attributed to one of the functional categories of resources in the SOFA. Expenditure subject to VAT which is not recoverable is shown inclusive of VAT.

Apportionment of costs across headings of the SOFA is carried out in relation to claims for grant funding. A method based on the allocation of staff time is used for revenue expenditure on direct project activities, premises, management, and administration. As far as possible, depreciation costs are apportioned either to project activities or premises costs using appropriate apportionment criteria.

Costs are allocated to the Governance category where they cannot be clearly allocated to project activities or are of a strategic nature, e.g. insurance and legal expenses.

Pension Scheme

No Limits operates a Group Personal Pension Scheme (defined contribution) provided by AEGON plc. The assets of this scheme are held separately from those of the Charity. Pension costs charged in the SOFA represent the contributions payable by the Charity in the year.

Fixed Assets and Depreciation

It is the policy of the Charity to capitalise assets costing over £5,000 and with an expected useful life in excess of three years. With the exception of freehold property, a full year’s depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition.

19

Depreciation is provided on the following bases following an assessment of the estimated useful economic life and anticipated residual value:

Furniture and Equipment Straight line basis over 4 years Computer Equipment Straight line basis over 3 years Freehold Property Straight line basis over 25 years with no depreciation charged in the year of acquisition Leasehold Property Improvements Over the remaining life of the lease

Investment Properties

Investment properties for which fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in ‘net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the SOFA.

Impairment

At each reporting period end date, the Trustees review the carrying amounts of the Charity’s tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Indicators of impairment may include significant declines in an asset’s market value, evidence of physical damage, significant reorganisation of the Charity or changes in the statutory or political environment in which the Charity operates. 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).

Leases

Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Cash and cash equivalents

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.

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.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic Financial Assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of Financial Assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

20

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.

If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic Financial Liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

2 Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The trustees consider that there are no material areas of judgement or estimation uncertainty.
