About Footsteps International
In Kenya, there are estimated to be 250,000 children living on the streets, 2.6 million orphans, and 2 million children whose home is in a slum. Each child is severely disadvantaged, yet has dreams and aspirations for a better life.
We cannot help them all. Working through trusted Christian partners in Kenya, and with prayer and financial support from like-minded individuals and organisations, we are able to help some of them. To be effective, we need to provide enough support to see each child through to independence.
Footsteps International is run by Christians who are committed to putting their faith into action. They are all unpaid volunteers who use their holidays to visit Kenya, travelling at their own expense, to see for themselves the way that the lives of these disadvantaged children are being transformed, and ensuring that funds are used as intended.

Project reports
Sunshine Rehabilitation
Centre, Naivasha, Kenya
In 2024, working with the government children’s department, we gave places to 25 new street boys, bringing the total we care for at the Sunshine Centre to 155.
We re-connected them with their families during school holidays, where it is safe and possible to do so.
We provided the boys with a safe place to stay, nutritious food, friendship, love and supported them back into school. We supported boys through higher education and vocational training until they were able to live independently.
Background
During their visit to Kenya in February 2004, founding trustees Martin and Mary Print were taken to meet street boys in Naivasha, Kenya. Around fifty boys and young men were living on the streets, eating rubbish thrown from a nearby hotel, sniffing glue, and regularly getting into trouble with the police for stealing.
Working with Rev Simon Kinyanjui, Director of the Naivasha Polytechnic, Footsteps committed to help the boys.
STREET BOYS
Economic hardship in Kenya and family breakdown drives boys to the streets. Senior staff member Mama Chege talks to them on the streets before offering them a place at the Sunshine Centre where they have a warm bed, nutritious food and go back to school.
Our strategy over recent years has been to support as many street boys as possible within the capacity available at the Centre, to invest to reduce running costs, to increase local income and to reduce environmental impacts.
The Centre’s small farm provides a
steady supply of fresh vegetables, with any surplus being sold to local markets. In January 2015 we bought South View Farm - 3 acres of farmland at Kinale, 35 km from the Centre. The land is held in trust and the produce benefits the Sunshine Rehabilitation Centre.
We have invested in rainwater harvesting systems at the Sunshine Centre to ensure good supplies of water throughout the year.
A local bottled water company, Purefresh, rents space for its purification plant and buys water from the Sunshine Spring borehole which is distributed through water shops in Naivasha. Rent and profit from water sales provides income to the Centre.
Progress in 2024
Kenya experienced periods of drought which led to continued food and fuel price inflation. These factors impact the poorest families hardest, and resulted in more children (especially boys) leaving their homes to try to find food and money on the streets.
In January, we offered 29 new street boys a home at the Sunshine Centre. 25 settled in well and we enrolled them into the local government primary school.
Phase 1 of the project commenced in February 2004 and involved the establishment of a feeding programme (three days a week).
Phase 2 was the construction of temporary dormitories and a dining hall that opened in June 2004, with fifty street boys joining. During Phase 3 we built permanent buildings on a new site and the Sunshine Rehabilitation Centre was registered as an NGO in Kenya.
Older boys who have moved on from the Sunshine Centre have found jobs as tailors, labourers, welders and businessmen, and many stay in touch with the Centre staff after they leave.
Rescued from the streets, the boys find safety, love, acceptance and access to education at the Sunshine Centre in Naivasha, Kenya.
Footsteps International 4 Annual Report & Accounts 2024
The boys are cared for at the Sunshine Centre by twenty-two staff members, including a social worker, and a part-time chaplain.
In 2024 we supported 153 former street boys: 38 attended the local government primary school, 22 were in junior secondary, 58 in high schools, 10 were enrolled on college courses, 17 were taking vocational training courses, and 8 were at university.
All the boys did well at their various levels of education, and the primary school boys achieved the best results our boys have ever achieved in their final primary school exams (KCPE).
John Wainaina lived on the streets for three years. In 2024 he graduated from Meru University of Science and Technology with a Diploma in Horticulture, and now grows peas commercially on his 2- acre farm.
Many of the former street boys who move on from our care stay in touch with our staff, and we enjoy hearing how they are getting on.
During their March visit, trustees visited John Wainaina who is now growing peas commercially on a 2-acre farm. He employs up to 10 casual workers during peak times such as harvest.
John was on the streets for three years before being rescued by a staff member and enrolled into our Sunshine Centre.
Former street boy Samuel Njoroge completed a degree in supply chain management and now trades vegetables in Nairobi.
In June, trustees visited Samuel Njoroge at his small home in Nairobi, which doubles up as an office for his vegetable trading business.
After his father died, Samuel dropped out of school and spent most of 2009 on the streets before being admitted to the Sunshine Centre. He did well at school, and graduated this year with a degree in supply chain management from Taita Taveta University.
Samuel uses a phone app to list products and receive orders. Asked what were his secrets of success, he replied, “My smile and looking smart.”
Trustee Wendy McMahon spent seven weeks at the Sunshine Centre in the summer, supporting the boys and helping with chores such as food preparation, washing and cleaning.
We continued to make the Sunshine Centre more sustainable, and used a generous grant of £4,948 from Fondation Eagle to install solar panels and storage batteries. This has reduced electricity bill by 65% and made the compound safer at night as the security lights are no longer affected by power cuts.
Footsteps International trustees travelled to Kenya in March, June and October, spending time with the Sunshine Centre staff and boys, and visiting families and homes the boys come from.
Trustee Wendy McMahon took unpaid leave from work to spend seven weeks at the Sunshine Centre in the summer as a member of the support team and helping with chores such as food preparation, washing and cleaning.
Sunshine UV Outreach
programme
In 2024 we supported ultravulnerable individuals and families by providing bespoke help in the form of monthly food packages and support with education and training costs.
Background
We started the Sunshine Ultravulnerable (UV) Outreach programme in 2021 to support families in the Naivasha area who were suffering extreme hardship as a result of the Covid pandemic.
When the pandemic ended, we continued to support some of these families, and expanded the programme to include several extremely disadvantaged young people who needed educational support to give them a chance of escaping a life of extreme poverty.
Progress in 2024
During 2024, the total number of Sunshine UV beneficiaries was 52 (10 adults, 39 children and 3 young adults).
We provided support to 6 ultravulnerable families by donating monthly food packages and paying education

streets.
Hannah Wanjiru’s family includes a severely disabled girl, Jane Wangui . We helped the family by providing monthly food parcels that include nutrition supplements and yoghurt. Jane has particularly benefited from these, and the other children are healthier and able to concentrate better on their school studies.
Ruth Moraa is one of the three young adults we supported. Her single-parent mother is very poor and, having complet-
ed primary school, Ruth’s education ceased.
We paid for Ruth to take a hairdressing and beauty course at polytechnic, and also arranged for her to have dental implants, both of which have boosted her self-confidence and given her a hope of escaping a life of poverty.
We paid for staff member Irene Wanjiku to train as a disability care support worker; her case load includes supporting 25 young people living with disability at Karati Special Needs School, where she

Naivasha Technical Training Institute (NTTI), Kenya
In 2024 we helped 435 young people access affordable vocational training at NTTI. Many come from poor and disadvantaged families, and vocational training gives them the practical skills and qualifications they need to find paid employment.
We received specific donations which we used to provide a modern Hairdressing and Beauty Centre and a garage and parking facility.
Background
The Naivasha Polytechnic (now named the Naivasha Technical Training Institute) was established in 1986 to provide vocational training for young people who come from poor families. Footsteps has provided financial support to NTTI since 2002 when other overseas donors withdrew their support.
Today, NTTI offers vocational courses in crafts such as welding, motor vehicle

Tumaini: Hope for orphaned and abandoned children in Mombasa Kenya
In 2024, we supported 18 orphaned and abandoned children, helping them stay healthy and providing them with a normal family life. We also provided education support for several older children who have finished school - see the Future Focus report.
Background
Tumaini Children’s Home was constructed during 2003 as a home for orphaned
and abandoned children and, at the same time a school was built on the same site to serve the local community.
The land was purchased in October 2002 and is owned by the Footsteps Interna-

tional Orphanage Trust. Construction was funded jointly by supporters of Footsteps International and Education for Life ; the home and a school complex opened on 18th February 2004.
The site has developed over subsequent years and now comprises:
-
Accommodation for orphaned, abandoned and at-risk children;
-
A primary school, kindergarten and administrative offices (operated by Education for Life);
-
A secondary school (run by Education for Life);
-
Stepping Stones – a ‘halfway house’ which provides a temporary home for some of the older children leaving the Tumaini Children’s home.
Footsteps trustee Martin Print enjoys meeting Lucy Shanga who provides a foster home for twins Angelina and Veronica

We also support three families of children who are cared for by foster parents in a family setting. In response to Kenya government policy and recognised good practice, our long-term aim is place all the orphaned and abandoned children into foster care.
Progress in 2024
In line with our policy of gradually reducing the number of children we care for at the Tumaini Children’s Home, our house parents Charles and Mary Osaleh cared for five orphaned and abandoned children this year, as older children who we were cared for last year completed high school and moved on. Eight of these older ones are pursuing further education courses under our Future Focus programme.
Trustee Martin Print visited the Home three times during the year, finding the children and carers happy and well.
We supported a further 10 orphaned and abandoned children who are fostered in the village near the children’s home: three

cared for by Lucy Shanga, three by Everlyne Wekesa, three by village elder Njagi and his wife Constance, and a boy who is cared for by his grandmother. Martin Print met these children and carers during his trustee’s visits.
At the end of the year, the three children cared for by Everlyne Wekesa moved into the Stepping Stones halfway house as they are now old enough to look after themselves with minimal supervision, and Everlyne needed to provide a home for her own daughter and two grandchildren.
Future Focus
In 2024, we helped 18 disadvantaged young people take a range of vocational and higher education courses.
Background
As orphaned and abandoned children complete school and reach the age where they leave home, we continue to care for them by placing them on appropriate further education and training courses which focus on providing each young person with sufficient skills to become an inde-

The Future Focus programme was set up in 2021; it is administered by our partners Education for Life who operate the Tumaini primary and secondary schools, and oversee our Tumaini Children’s Home near Mombasa.
Progress in 2024
We funded education and living costs for 18 young people who are taking a wide range of courses:
Benard Okumu (mechanical engineering), Naomi Munyoki (health records and IT), Caroline Munyoki (journalism and mass communication), Mika Onyango (automotive engineering), Joshua Mutiso (electrical installation), James Muema

Education support at Tumaini schools
In 2024, we provided bursaries for 30 primary children and 20 secondary children, funded free school lunches for 600 children one week each month, and provided books, toys and an iPad for the special needs children.
Background
We worked with our partners Education for Life to build the Tumaini primary School and Tumaini Children’s Home which both opened in 2004. Since then, we have sponsored specific students from poor families and supported the free school lunches programme.

As a result, the children’s health has improved which, in turn help has helped improve attendance and academic results.
Over recent years, we have also been able to upgrade classrooms and replace desks and books.

Celebrating Sunshine@20
Twenty years ago, Footsteps founding trustees Martin and Mary Print accompanied Rev Simon Kinyanjui to a rubbish tip behind a hotel in Naivasha, Kenya, where a gang of street boys was sniffing glue and raiding the dump for leftovers.
The boys talked of their dreams for security, a warm, dry place to sleep, and the opportunity to go back to school. The Sunshine street boys rehabilitation centre made their dreams come true.
Fifty-five needy street boys joined the newly-opened Centre in 2004, since when nearly 400 boys have passed through our care.
At a special ‘Sunshine@20’ service and birthday celebration on Sunday 3rd March, 2024, we gave God thanks for His providence, and recognised team members, including Rev Simon for 20 years of faithful service.

Mt Longonot Crowd Climb: Climbing a volcano with the Sunshine Boys and raising £2,500...
Showing enormous grit and determination, 60 former street boys conquered Mt Longonot - the volcano situated 10 miles from the Sunshine street boys’ rehabilitation centre in Kenya.
Having set off at just after 7.30 on the morning of Saturday 19th October, the first boy arrived at the crater rim at 9 am, quickly followed 60 more boys and 12 staff members.
As the younger boys descended to lower altitudes, trustee Martin Print and the older boys continued round the rocky crater rim path to the Kilele Ngamia summit, which peaks at 9,120 feet above sea level.
...while a UK team climbs higher than a volcano
Unable to travel to Kenya to climb Mt Longonot, Footsteps trustee Wendy McMahon recruited a team to take on the challenge of 100 wall climbs at the Gravity Rock climbing centre at the Bluewater Shopping centre, Kent, England.
On the same day that the Sunshine Boys undertook their challenge on Mt Longonot in Kenya, Wendy and her team completed a total of 122 climbs of the 20 foot high walls in just over half an hour - an exhausting but brilliant achieve-
ment that helped raise over £2,500 in sponsorship.
In total the UK team climbed over 2,000 feet, proving they could climb higher than a volcano.
Footsteps International 12 Annual Report & Accounts 2024
What your help means to us…
Throughout the year we received many reports, letters, emails and WhatsApp messages from those whose lives have been transformed with the generous help of our supporters. Here is a small selection we found very encouraging:
Kelvin Kiplangat came to the Sunshine Centre in 2007 having spent two years on the streets.
“I was a very bad boy. I used to steal, beat up other children, and I hated going to school. I stole money from my mother and ran to the streets. When I was rescued and came to the Sunshine Centre, I ran away four times, but mum Rebecca came looking for me and brought me back to Sunshine.
Today I am a pastor at AIC Zion Fellowship. I have chosen to serve God who rescued me through the staff and sponsors of Sunshine. May God bless you more each day.”
Emmaculate Mueni graduated from Kenya Medical Training College with a diploma in Health Records and IT.
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your support during my studies.
Graduating is such an important achievement for me, and I couldn’t have done it without your help.
Your belief in me has motivated me to push through challenges, and I’m so grateful for everything you've done.
I truly appreciate your generosity and encouragement. I hope to make you proud as I take on the next steps in my journey."
One Saturday afternoon in free time at the Sunshine Centre, former street boy Solomon Wafula was given paper and
colour pens to write or draw whatever he wanted to. This is what he chose to write:
Sunshine: I will study hard. I promise to study hard.
We thank you for your kindness for street boys. God bless you for your contribution, for giving us education and shelter.
We have nothing to pay you, but we say, ‘God bless you’.
Footsteps International 13 Annual Report & Accounts 2024
Financial summary
The full results and financial position for the year are shown in the financial statements (page 19 onwards).
Our income in 2024 was £256,360 (£313,120 in 2023). Expenditure to support our projects in 2024 was £294,486 (£268,152 in 2023). Administrative costs were less than 1% of expenditure.
60% of our expenditure was to provide a home, education and care for street boys at the Sunshine Centre and orphaned and abandoned children in Mombasa.
29% of our expenditure was in support of education and training for deprived youngsters. The balance of our charitable expenditure was on free school meals and infrastructure for schools in the slums of Nairobi, and outreach to ultra-vulnerable children and families.
53% of our income came from individual donors, including 157 who gave generously through monthly standing orders. 32% of our income came from institutional donors including grant-making trusts and Rotary clubs. Gift aid contributed 8% and 6% came from organised events, appeals, and a legacy.
The currency exchange rate in January was 200 Kenya shillings to the GB pound, but dropped steadily to 160 in April and remained around that level for the remain-
der of the year. This increased the cost of our payments to our projects during the year, and there were significant inflation effects in Kenya caused by the weakness of the Kenya Shilling the previous year. Combined, these factors significantly increased the cost of delivering our projects.
We are very grateful to the hundreds of donors who made our work possible, many of whom wish to remain anonymous. Our special thanks go to Fondation Eagle for making grants totalling £43,195 in December 2023 which allowed us to make infrastructure improvements at the Sunshine Centre and NTTI in 2024. We also thank UK-based charity Project Possible for their direct financial support for the Sunshine Rehabilitation Centre.

Future plans
Footsteps undertakes long-term development projects to transform the lives of disadvantaged children and adults.
We expect Kenya to continue to suffer from the effects of high taxes and inflation in 2025. This will cause hardship for the poor and disadvantaged, and increase the number of young people unable to afford education; more boys are likely to migrate to the streets.
In the light of this, our main plans for 2025 are as follows:
Sunshine Rehabilitation Centre:
We will admit 16 new street boys in 2025, bringing the total to 147. We will continue to provide them with education at school, college, university or technical training college.
We will continue to farm land at the Sunshine Centre and South View Farm to provide fresh vegetables for the boys.
Sales from the Sunshine Springs borehole will provide income to the project.
We will seek to implement further environmental improvements that reduce costs and increase the potential to provide local income.
Sunshine Ultra-Vulnerable Outreach programme:
We will provide vital help to 5 extremely impoverished families in the form of regular food parcels and education support for children, minimising the risk that the children will migrate to the streets.
We will pay for a disability support care worker to provide care to 10 adults and 39 children.
We will fund vocational training courses for 3 young adults from impoverished families.
We will fund school meals one day each term for the 1,000 children attending Kabati school which is situated on the edge of a slum in Naivasha.
The total number of beneficiaries for the SUV programme (excluding the Kabati school children) will be 10 adults, 39 children, and 3 young adults .
Tumaini:
We will care for 15 orphaned and abandoned children at the Tumaini Children's Home and with foster families in the community.
Naivasha Technical Training
Institute:
Our continued financial support will help 450 vocational trainees access affordable
training.
We will seek funds for replacement tools and capital projects that increase NTTI’s ability to provide courses that meet the needs of Kenya’s modernising economy.
In the long-term, our aim remains to work together with the NTTI management team to find ways to increase local income and reduce dependency on external donors.
Slum schools:
We will maintain funding for school meals at the two schools in Nairobi’s slums, so that every child can have a free lunch each term day.
Future Focus:
We plan to fund appropriate, employment-focussed higher education opportunities for 15 young people.
Tumaini schools:
We will help disadvantaged children have a good education by funding free school meals and by giving bursaries to selected children at the Tumaini Schools in Timbwani, Mombasa.

Structure, governance and management
Governing document
Footsteps International was inaugurated in November 2001 and registered with the Charity Commission (number 1091026) in March 2002. The aims and objectives of Footsteps International are set out in the Declaration of Trust dated 7th February, 2002. The principal object is the relief of need, sickness and distress in Africa by the provision of financial and material assistance.
Objectives
Footsteps International aims to relieve the effects of poverty, disease and disability in some of the world's poorest communities. Our focus is primarily but not exclusively on projects that the trustees know personally and which they can visit to review progress.
Public benefit
In setting our programme and projects each year the trustees have regard to both the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, and prevention and relief of poverty for the public benefit. Our projects are always in line with our charitable objects and carried out for the public benefit in three main areas of activity:
-
caring for children in need,
-
education and training poor and deprived young people, and
-
fighting poverty and disability.
Footsteps does not discriminate against any needy person on the grounds of their religion, tribe or nationality.
Appointment and training of Trustees
The board of trustees is responsible for all major decisions affecting the work of the charity, and invites and appoints new trustees as required to strengthen the management team. The trustees are all
Christians who are committed to putting their faith into action.
Trustees are apprised of their responsibilities using Charity Commission literature, and all have visited Footsteps supported projects in Kenya.
MONITOR
Footsteps trustees visited Kenya three times in 2024.
The photo shows the trustees with the head teacher reviewing the performance of former street boys at Milimani High School in Naivasha.
All the Trustees are volunteers, and do not receive any reimbursement for their work for the charity; no fares or other travel expenses are paid to the Trustees.
Organisation
The board of trustees meets formally twice a year, and communicates by phone and email as necessary in between. Day-to-day operational decisions are taken by Martin Print, and financial and administrative support is provided by the treasurer, Eleri Print.
Trustees travelled to Kenya in March, June and October 2024 to monitor our projects; in between visits we maintained regular contact with our partners by WhatsApp, email, phone and Zoom.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
Charity 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 charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
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 charity will continue its operations.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Investment powers and policy
Footsteps International’s trust deed permits wide powers of investment. The current policy is to hold all investments in the form of bank deposits. Cash that is not required for immediate use on projects is placed into a higher interest account.
Reserves Policy
The policy of the trustees is to put do-
Footsteps International 16 Annual Report & Accounts 2024
nors’ funds to immediate use as far as possible. In the case of an emergency, an appeal would be made for additional funds. However, it is important that a regular flow of funds is maintained to the projects as a high proportion of the disbursed funds go towards food, salaries, clothing and medical costs. To this end and where possible, the charity aims to hold 4 months’ expenditure in unre-
stricted reserves.
At the end of the 2024, Footsteps had unrestricted reserves of £71,854 which amounts to around three months’ requirements.
Policies
To strengthen the management of the charity, the trustees have put in place policies covering:
-
Safeguarding (Child Protection and Vulnerable Adults)
-
Financial controls
-
Expenses and decision making authorities
-
Investment
-
Reserves
-
Conflict of Interest
Naivasha,
-
Church on the Rock School, Nairobi,
-
Imani school, Nairobi
-
Education for Life, Mombasa.
-
Complaints
Risk Management
- Risk Management
The trustees have assessed the financial and operational risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the major risks.
The principle direct risks to Footsteps International are considered to relate to financial issues. However, the trustees also work with local partners to identify other risks, especially to children cared for at the various projects, and have identified appropriate mitigating actions. The risk assessment is reviewed at each formal meeting of the trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FOOTSTEPS INTERNATIONAL
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Footsteps International ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
