BOLTON WANDERERS COMMUNITY TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and our dedicated staff, I have the great honour of introducing our Trustee Report. The following pages highlights the incredible work that the team carried out across the year in Bolton. This was further recognised with the charity named as the 2023 Community Club of the Season – All other Leagues, at the North West Football Awards.
We are now two years into our three-year strategy, and through our programmes of work we continue to address the inequalities that exist across our town.
The charity has launched several exciting new provisions and projects this year, including our Alternative Provision, which supports young people who may need extra support to access education or education delivered in a different way. Both our PL Fans Fund and BL One projects aim to bring our diverse communities together and increase and improve understanding and cohesiveness in our town.
Our community hub model has seen growth in demand and provision. Sutton Community Centre was again utilised as a warm space for the residents in response to the rising cost of living, whilst we also partnered with Urban Outreach to set up a food pantry and provide free lunches to children during the summer holidays. We also launched our Sutton Families and Babies projects which aim to give children the best start to life.
Many of you will have seen and been in our Wellbeing Hub, which throughout the week sees our projects delivered at the stadium, and on a matchday operate as a safe and warm space for those attending the game. We have been delighted to see many individuals utilising this facility on a matchday including members of Bolton Wanderers Disabled Supporters Association and young families. We also delivered numerous awareness days from the Hub including ‘Tackling Cancer Together’ and our ‘Cost of Living Support’ day.
We have continued to diversify our income through fundraising and engagement with businesses as we aim not to be over-reliant on a couple of large funding partners. Our increased events calendar included our first charity dinner and Bolton Community 10K Run, both of which were extremely successful and well supported. The money raised via our fundraising allows us to directly decide how we can best support our community according to local need and insight. I would like to thank everyone that has supported us with our fundraising this year, you have helped make such a big difference.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has contributed to the success of Bolton Wanderers in the Community this year, especially all our funders, supporters, volunteers, staff and Trustees.
I hope that you enjoy reading the report.
Thank you.
Phil Mason,
Chief Executive Officer at Bolton Wanderers in the Community

A Day Out at Wembley
Walker Family welcomed to Wembley Play-Off Final
Following an exciting lead up to the Sky Bet EFL Play-Offs over 30,000 fans made the journey down to Wembley for the nail-biting final show down between BWFC and Oxford United.
In the run up to the final Bolton Wanderers in the Community, the EFL, the EFL Trust and Smart Energy GB invited the Walker Family to the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Wednesday 15th May to surprise them with tickets to the Sky Bet EFL Play-Off Final at Wembley.
Enlisting the help of our very own Super John McGinlay to pull off this surprise we invited Kathryn, Daniel, Logan and Elaina pitch side where we presented them with their tickets.
Logan has been in regular attendance at our Sutton Centre Families Sessions and has been part of BWFC’s season ticket campaign across the season with his last home game being BWFC’s 5-0 victory over Oxford United in March. Being able to provide Logan and his family with tickets was a great opportunity for us to thank the family for regularly participating with us here at Bolton Wanderers in the Community.
Through the EFL’s partnership with Smart Energy GB, the EFL Trust and Club Community Organisations throughout England and Wales want to help football fans understand their energy use through smart meters and in-home displays (IHD).

David’s Ultimate Wembley Experience with the EFL Trust.
Having been a carer since 2000, David Aruvee has cared for both family and friends over the years. Over the last 5 years David has joined Bolton Wanderers in the Community’s ‘Unlocking Wellbeing in Bolton’ scheme which aims to improve the health and wellbeing of carers in Bolton and reduce the health inequalities that they may be experiencing.
David said: “Caring can be very rewarding but it’s important to seek out other carers through caring organisations where you can find helpful advice and offer each other support.”
Through Unlocking Wellbeing in Bolton, David has accessed a range of activities including yoga, coffee mornings, and attended some of the Club’s home matches. He said: “Because of the Club, I’ve done things I would never normally have done which has made a huge impact on my mental health after what’s been a stressful couple of years.”
As a thank you for David’s commitment to attending our sessions we joined forces with the EFL Trust to invite David to Wembley for a pre-match tour and meet and greet with former BWFC player Alan Stubbs before taking their seat for the match. “I’m thrilled to be coming to Wembley to watch my Club and would like to thank the EFL and Bolton Wanderers for giving me this opportunity.”
David said "Getting the call out of the blue with the Wembley opportunity was brilliant . I have never been to the Wembley Stadium either old or new! So it will be a great experience and atmosphere I have no doubt. When I went to Wimbledon LTC many years ago having only ever watched the tennis on the television I had the same kind of excitement."

Players in the Community:
Our impact in the community is amplified by the support of our football club. The club’s presence in the local community, whether backroom staff or first team players, is key in inspiring and supporting the work our colleagues do to deliver positive change across Bolton.
Talking about his team’s support with work in the community, BWFC manager Ian Evatt said “Our supporters have shown up for the team all season and so as a club we want to say thank you by showing up for our local community. Engaging with residents and charity beneficiaries as staff and playing squad, reminds us of the importance of community involvement and the power our football club has in supporting the positive change across Bolton.”

Jack dropped in at the Royal Bolton Hospital to hand out gifts, sign pictures and chat to staff, patients and their families on the children’s ward and the paediatric A and E department.
Reflecting on his work within the community this season, Iredale said “Connecting the club and the players to the fans makes a massive impact. Since joining the club everyone has been extremely supportive and it feels only right to give back where I can.”
“Through the community group its great for us to be able to connect and give back to the fans and communities that support us on a matchday. Seeing the smiles on the kids' faces when they get to see the players out and about in their community highlights the difference the community and club can make in our local area.”
“As a community club it is important for us to be present and show up in every sense of the word. Straight away you can see how important it is for people to be able to come to our club and just be around others in a safe environment. It’s massive for the mental wellbeing and health of our community with residents raising their levels of physical activity and mental wellbeing, making new friends and becoming more socially connected all whilst building their confidence and self-esteem. Reaching out to all ages across the town is really important for both the club and community team and as players we want to support this as much as we can.”

for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Performance
Incoming resources and how those resources have been expended are provided on page 29 for the Group and on page 30 for the Individual Entity Bolton Wanderers in the Community.
Total income receivable of £1.40m reflected a small decrease of 2% (12 months to 30 June 2023: £1.42m). Total costs have increased by 10% to £1.46m (12 months to 30 June 2023: £1.33m).
A total deficit has been reported across restricted and unrestricted funds totalling £56k (12 months to 30 June 2023 £96k surplus) for the year.
Restricted funds show a deficit for the year of £69k. This was £70k behind the 2023-24 budget. The major variance was due to an assumption that the Weight Management programme would be re-funded. Unfortunately, the application was unsuccessful. All projects were able to continue using balances carried forward.
Group Unrestricted funds show a surplus of £13k which was below budget, largely due to the sponsorship target in the CiC not achieving budget.
Unrestricted funds carried forward now stand at £140k including designated unrestricted funds of £6k. Restricted funds carried forward now stand at £238k.
All credit provided is reviewed on a regular basis. No loans were taken out or considered during the year.
Fundraising
Although the majority of income still comes in the form of restricted grants, often from regular funders such as Premier League Charitable Fund, as predicted, income from events has increased and will continue to do so in future periods. No income from Commissioning was received in 2023-24 but this income type is a target in 2024-25 and beyond.
Grant income has reduced significantly by £148k compared to 2023. Income from donations has increased by £10k. The Media and Communications strategy and Fundraising strategy continue to increase the profile of the charity, leading to further support. Both strategies will continue to be developed and implemented in future periods.
Following a review, the Charity began to use the services of Holden-Locke Ltd to find and apply for grant funding. Staff members continued to have responsibility to find project funding.
The Charity sets a budget prior to the start of each financial year detailing income streams and the projects that each stream intends to support. Incoming resources from restricted funds received during the year was 23% behind the 2023-24 budget. Unrestricted income was 13% behind the 2023-24 group budget.
Government Grants
No government support was sought or received to aid the Charity although grant income was received for the Holiday Activities and Food Programme and Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Reserves Policy
The reserves policy is to be reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee at least annually at the time of the budget setting, and at least every 3 years approved by Trustees and minuted as such.
The policy was reviewed and updated in June 2022 as part of the 3 year strategic plan 2022-2025.
Some 54% of its annual £1.3m income arose from restricted funding, most significantly from PLCF. However, within restricted grants there is an allocation of some £65k, (9% of restricted income) which is available to support Head Office costs as opposed to direct project costs, which is therefore available to bolster unrestricted reserves. The Charity aims to use Full Cost Recovery in all funding bids, however, some funders do not allow this. Full cost recovery can vary between 8% and 30%, depending on the project’s need for central support.
The relevant assets in which reserves are held are net current assets including cash. Should other material assets be acquired the Finance Committee will address whether they constitute an appropriate store for reserves.
In light of the above, the Finance Committee recommend that 3-4 months’ of Unrestricted Costs should be the Target level of Unrestricted Reserves.
This is felt to create sufficient time in case of need to restructure the cost base in terms of payroll with sufficient length of time to give notice or achieve a compromise agreement with staff if needed. It would also cover some delay to Restricted Income and Unrestricted Income in terms of timing of fund raising events and donations. This period would also give time to consider whether alternative income sources can be secured in the event of a shortfall of income against budget.
The current level of unrestricted reserves is equal to circa 1.5 months’ unrestricted costs. Despite the reported unrestricted surplus, due to increased staffing costs, the number of months covered has reduced. Unrestricted reserves continue to be accumulated towards the target level.
The target bank balance has been set by the Trustees at a minimum of £100,000. Unfortunately, the balance fell below the target level for 3 days in December 2023 due to a receipt for funding being delayed. The Trustees were notified in advance.
Bank accounts
The Charity holds three bank accounts and a petty cash float. All bank accounts are used for both Restricted and Unrestricted income and expenses.
Wanderers Sport in the Community CiC holds one bank account and a petty cash float.
At 30 June 2024 the Group’s cash balance stood at £286,846 (2023: £277,310).

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Risk
Bolton Wanderers in the Community maintains a risk register and the reserves policy will recognise those risks identified as material therein.
Financially the main risks are:
-
Reduction in discretionary spend (from companies or individuals) leading to a shortfall in unrestricted income (donations and fund-raising).
-
Failure to control costs/cost base too high.
-
Reduction in grants from PLCF and EFLT leading to costs having to be covered from unrestricted funds.
-
Delay in PLCF and other grants.
Going Concern
Future income streams and the projects they support are detailed in Note 1 (page 37).
The Charity has sufficient liquid resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and has resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Trustees and board of directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees (who are also the directors of Bolton Wanderers Community Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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 as the Trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Sumer Auditco Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

BOLTON WANDERERS COMMUNITY TRUST for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Bolton Wanderers Community Trust (the “Charity”) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the group Statement of Financial Activities, the group Balance Sheet, the charity Balance Sheet, the group Cash Flow Statement, the charity Cash Flow Statement, and the significant accounting policies and related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s group affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of 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 the 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 related 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.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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 dorm of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
The information given in the trustees report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
The trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BOLTON WANDERERS COMMUNITY TRUST
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In 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 Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us;
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
-
the trustees’ were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Report and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities set out on page twenty three, the trustees 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 they 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 relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our 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 be reasonably 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, is detailed below.
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, and through discussions with the trustees (as required by auditing standards) and discussed with the trustees the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly, the charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation and taxation legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Secondly, the company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most like to have such an effect: charities legislation, laws related to health and safety, employment laws, gender pay gap, GDPR and consumer protection.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
BOLTON WANDERERS COMMUNITY TRUST
for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Through these procedures we did not become aware of any actual or suspected non-compliance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined below to detect material misstatement due to fraud:
-
Matters are discussed amongst the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud
-
Identifying and assessing the design and effectiveness of controls that management have in place to prevent and detect fraud
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud following discussions with management and enquiring as to whether management have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
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.orf.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 6 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the 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 company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

BOLTON WANDERERS COMMUNITY TRUST
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Company information
Bolton Wanderers Community Trust is a charitable company registered as a Charity in England and Wales and a company limited by guarantee. The Charity has one trading subsidiary named Wanderers Sport in the Community CiC which is registered as Community Interest Company and a company limited by guarantee. The registered office of both entities is Toughsheet Community Stadium, Burnden Way, Lostock, Bolton.
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The Charity continues to receive funding for PL Core which will continue to improve its governance. Premier League Charitable Fund continues to fund PL Kicks, PL Primary Stars, PL Inspires and PL Fans Fund. EFLT Core funding continues and additional, unrestricted income has been guaranteed in recognition of the impact of the National Living Wage and Employers NI increases. Arnold Clark and Vital Energi continue to be Principal Sponsors until 30 June 2025. The profile of the Charity continues to grow thanks to increased social media activity, fundraising events which are set to increase in future periods and support from Bolton Wanderers Football Club. Funding continues to be received from Bolton Together, CVS and JD Foundation for a variety of projects. The Charity, therefore, has sufficient liquid resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and has resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Trustees and Board of directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the Charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. Turnover is the amount derived from the provision of goods/services and stated after trade discounts. VAT is not charged.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, 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 is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Sports equipment | - at varying rates on cost |
|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - 25% on cost |
| Office equipment | - 25% on cost |
| Motor vehicles | - 25% on cost |
Taxation
The Charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Fund accounting
General unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.
Designated unrestricted funds have been designated by the Trustees for particular purposes and are also unrestricted as the Board can re-assign those monies if it so desires.
Restricted funds can only be used for certain restricted purposes within the objects of the Charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Government grants
During the year, no government grants were received by the Charity to support its infrastructure or running costs, although funding was received directly or indirectly from central and local government for project costs. This funding is classed as restricted.
Key judgements and estimation uncertainty
Judgements are made by Trustees in the process of applying the Charity’s accounting policies. Key judgements are estimating the useful lives of fixed assets, going concern and any bad debt provision. These uncertainties are not thought to pose a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts and assets within the next financial year.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
Defined contribution scheme premiums are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they are paid.
Financial instruments
The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, trade creditors, concessionary loans receivable and concessionary loans payable.
Trade debtors and trade creditors are respectively debt instruments and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. Concessionary loans receivable and concessionary loans payable are respectively debt instruments and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.
