benefit of children and young people in the South Fylde areas. The trustees confirm that they have
referred to the guidan￿ contained in the Charrty Commission's generdl guidan￿ on public benefft

are on statement of financial activities and balan￿ sheet of the accounts. There are no restrictions
on the charity's power to invest. The investment strategy is reviewed regularfy by the trustees and
takes account of demand for funds.

The reseNes policy is to hold the original (2pttal received under the terms of the will and to
generate an appropriate level of investment income to be applied for the provision of grants and to
cover annual management and administration costs.

appropriate. Local charitable organisations have b￿n made aware of the availability of grants for
appropriate projects and an increase in applications is expected as this becomes more widely

the past been unable to so do because of the limited number and nature of applications.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024
LEGAL FORM
The trust is a registered charity, estsblished under th8 last will of George William Blackbum.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have
been prepared in accordance wiÈh the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting
by Charities: Ststement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their
accounts in accordance wth the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019),. Financial ReportÉng Standard 102
The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the
Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as
modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concem basis. The trustees are required
to assess whether the use of going concem 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 chaiity to continue as a going COn￿M. The Trustees make this assessment in
respect of a period of at 12 months from the date of authorisation of the accounts. The
majority of the expendtture of the charity is at the discretion of the Trustees and the charity
also has sufficient reserves to offset any potential reduction in investment income. The
Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and
expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted
income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity, therefore the
Trustees continue to adopt the going concem basis of accounting in preparing the financial
statements.
Income
All income is recognised in the Ststement of Financial Activthes once the charity has
entitlement to the funds. it is probable that the income will be r￿]Ved and the amount can
be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation
commffting the charity to that expenditure, Ft is probable that a transfer of economic benefits
will be required in settlemenl 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 attrÉbuted to
particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use
of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have mt b￿n rnet at the year end date are noted
as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charty is exempt from tsx on its chartlable activities.
