An example of our work on increasing independence:
Brenda, on 88-year-old woman, has a large family and a rich history as a nurse and home help. Despite her
independent Spirit, Brenda's day5 are constrained by numerous health conditions, including memory
impairment and osteoarthritis. These conditions severely limit her mobility and increase her risk of falls.
Brenda's primary challenges revolve around her health and mobility. Her conditions make it difficult for her
to move around her home safely, and she often relie5 on her daughter or a family friend to acce55 the
community. Recently, her daughter. who is her main carer, fractured her foot, further complicating Brenda's
care situation.
The Independent Living Team (IL T) at Age UK Cheshire was contacted to a5SlSt Brenda in sourcing a private
care package. An Independent Living Adviser helped Brenda apply for o carer's card and find a private core
agency for temporary support. This assistance empowered Brenda. allowing her to have control over her
care arrongements and alleviate some of the pressure on her daughter.
Brenda now fee15 reassured with the new knowledge and plans in place to manage her care during her
doughter'5 recovery. She expressed her gratitude to the ILT. highlighting the peace of mind and
empowerment She gained from their 5UPPOrt. Brenda can now navigate this challenging period with a clear
plan and reduced stress on her family.

Notes on the accounts ending 31st March 2024
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the
preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities:
Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities in accordance with the Finoncial Reporting
Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 1021 and the Companies Act
2006.
Age Concern Cheshire operating as Age UK Cheshire meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS
102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise
stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The functional presentation currency is sterling {£)
(b) Preparation of the accounts on an ongoing basis
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material
uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year
from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material
uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the
going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
(c) Group financial statements
The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary Age Concern
Trading in Cheshire Ltd on a lin￿by-line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Income and
Expenditure Account for the Charity has not been presented as the trustees haven taken advantage of the
exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
(d) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached
to the item of income has been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be
measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier date on which either: the charity is aware that probote has
been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executors to the Charity
that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in
whole or part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the chority has
been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies are notified to the charity, or
the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met,
then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for
as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
(e) Donated services, facilities and goods
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control
over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic
benefit from the use of the item by the charity is probable and that economic benefit can be measured
reliably. On receipt, donated professional services and facilities result in the recognition of income and an
expense.
No amount is included with the Financial Statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP IFRS 1021.
Further detail is given in the Trustees Annual Report.
As it is not procticable to estimate the value of donated goods with sufficient reliability, the income is
included in the financial period in which the donated goods ore sold.

Registered charity no.. 1091608

ageuK
Age Concern Cheshire operating as Age UK Cheshire
(f) Interest Receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by
the charity. This is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
(g) Fund Accounting
Funds held by the charity are:
Unrestricted general funds- these are funds that can be used in occordance with the charitable objects at
the discretion of the trustees.
Designated fvnds- these are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific
future purposes or projects.
Restricted funds- these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects
of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor and when funds are raised for particular
restricted purposes.
Endowment funds- These are funds of which a certain amount is a permanent endowment and as such is
non-expendable. The balance and any interest accrued is expendable and will be treated as part of the
general funds of the organisotion.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial
statements.
When a restricted project has come to an end, any excess of expenditure over income is supported by way of
transfer from unrestricted funds.
(h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party,
it is proboble that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
(i) Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions which assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake
charitable activities. These include back office costs, finance, human resources, payroll, governance and
senior management costs. The basis on which these support costs have been allocated are set out in note
11.
(j) Operating leases
The charity classifies the lease of photocopiers as operating leases; the title to the equipment remains with
the lessor and the equipment is usually replaced every 5 years. Rental charges are on a straight line basis
over the term of the lease.
(k) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are shown at original cost or, if donated, at their value on the date of the gift, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided in equal annual instalments over their estimated useful lives at the
following annual rates:
Motor Vehicles
Computer equipment, Plant and Machinery
Shop fittings and other assets
Tenants improvements
20% straight line basis
33% straight line basis
20% stroight line basis
Straight line basis over the shorter of the remaining
term of the lease or expected useful life
Items of a capitol nature with a cost greater than or equal to £300 are capitalised.
Assets purchased with restricted funds are depreciated over the remaining funding term of the restricted
fund on a straight line basis.
(l) Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and
slow moving items.

(m) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
(n) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cosh and short-term liquidity investments with a short maturity of
three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
(o) Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past
event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the
obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their
settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
(p) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic
financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their
settlement value.
(q) Redundancy and Severance Payments
Redundancy payments are made in line with contractual obligations and amounted to £7,508 {2023:
£5,995)
(r) Pension costs
The charity operates a group personal and stakeholder pension scheme, both of which are defined
contribution schemes. The contributions to the schemes are charged to the statement of financial activities
as they become payable. The charity also set up a new pension scheme under its automatic enrolment
compliance obligations which became effective on 1st July 2014. Employees joining these schemes contract
directly with the insurance company. The charity makes a matching contribution of 5% (after successful
completion of a probationary period) and acts as an agent in collecting and paying over employee pension
ontributions.
The pension costs charge represents contributions payable by the charity and its trading compony to the
funds and amounted to £26,851 (2023: £34,576). Contributions totalling £nil {2023: £nil) were due to the
funds at the end of the year.

balance sheet at the cost of the share capital less any impairment.
