Foreword

It’s a real joy to share this year’s Annual Report for Tiddlywinks. As Chair of Trustees, I’m constantly reminded of the warmth, care, and dedication that make our setting such a special place for children and families alike. This past year has been full of meaningful moments, steady growth, and continued commitment to giving every child the best possible start.

We were proud to offer 16 Flying Start places, supporting 28 children with free childcare up to five days a week. One child received additional one-to-one support through this vital Welsh Government initiative, and we continued to deliver the 30-hour Childcare Offer across Powys and Neath Port Talbot, helping 22 children access flexible, nurturing care.

Our Design to Smile programme remains a firm favourite with the children, who now look forward to brushing their teeth together each morning. We also maintained our Healthy and Sustainable Pre School Scheme—an achievement that reflects our deep commitment to wellbeing and quality.

Behind the scenes, our staff have been working hard to grow and develop. Two team members are working toward their Level 3 qualifications, and one is progressing toward Level 5. Training in safeguarding, health and safety, and child protection ensures our team remains confident and capable. We also welcomed one student placement this year, continuing our tradition of supporting future childcare professionals.

Our weekly Cylch Ti a Fi sessions at Ystalyfera Community Hall remain a lovely way to connect with families in the community. Staff and management meetings—whether in person or online—keep our team united and focused. Flying Start multi-agency meetings have helped us strengthen partnerships and support children more holistically.

Despite the need to adjust fees in line with national wage increases, our childcare take-up rates stayed steady. Morning and afternoon nursery sessions remain popular, and the 30hour Childcare Offer has helped keep afternoon numbers strong. Breakfast and after-school clubs saw some fluctuation, but we know that our flexible rota system and school-based alternatives play a role. Holiday Play Care was especially lively over the summer months.

We’re proud to have sustained 21 jobs this year and received 40 enquiries from families— proof that Tiddlywinks continues to be a trusted and valued part of the community. We also provided 487.5 hours of one-to-one support to two children through Flying Start, and several children received support through DWP and local social services.

We’re deeply grateful to our funders and supporters, including NPTCBC, Powys CBC, Flying Start, DWP, and Mudiad Meithrin. Thanks to their generosity, we secured £31,200 in grants, which helped us invest in staff training, sustainability, and improvements to our facilities.

We’ve continued to embrace technology to stay connected with families. The Famly app and our social media channels have been a huge success, helping parents stay informed and engaged. We also made great use of the Book Loan scheme from NPT Library Service, and

were delighted to welcome Katie back from maternity leave. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Sarah for her tireless work and dedication in Katie’s absence.

Finally, I want to share my heartfelt thanks to our incredible staff, our supportive families, and our generous funders. The kind words from parents—full of appreciation and warmth— are a beautiful reminder of the difference we make together.

On behalf of the Trustees, thank you to everyone who contributes to the success of Tiddlywinks. Together, we continue to build a nurturing, inclusive, and vibrant environment for our children to thrive.

Diolch yn fawr iawn!

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The advancement of education of children in particular through the provision of day care, playgroup sessions and out of school clubs in both Welsh and English mediums. The advancement of child and play care educational training opportunities through both Welsh and English mediums within the county borough of Neath Port Talbot and surrounding areas.

The Charity is restricted to operating with its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 9 July 1996 as amended by special resolution dated 9 April 2002.

In setting our objectives and planning our objectives our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Investment performance

Canolfan Gofal Plant Tiddlywinks Childcare Centre Cyfyngedig has been operating since 1996, obtaining charitable status on 27 June 2002. Throughout this time Tiddlywinks has continued to develop and adapt its service of the provision of day care, play group sessions and out of school clubs in response to local demand. Over the year the number of service users was up on the previous year as the effect of ongoing austerity measures, the growth of subsidised places within the maintained sector and unintended consequences of national initiatives continue to create a competitive market within the sector. Tiddlywinks' priority remains to ensure that the safety and the quality of the provision is paramount and that the service continues to reflect and embrace the needs of the community it serves.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Review

During 2024/2025 the Charity was funded variously from statutory sources, charitable trusts and income generated by the Charity in the provision of childcare.

The charity’s balance sheet shows a satisfactory position with unrestricted reserves of £275,054 of which £236,996 is held in designated funds, leaving a general fund of £38,058. Incoming resources for the period were £378,815 of which £20,406 were restricted (2024: £390,434 of which £63,071 was restricted). The resources expended during the period totalled £399,230 (2024: £342,902). This has resulted in net outgoing resources of £20,415 (2024: £47,532 incoming).

The financial position for the period 2024/2025 is such that the project will be able to continue carrying out its charitable objectives for the financial year 2025/2026 as set down in these financial statements.

Reserves policy

Canolfan Gofal Plant Tiddlywinks Childcare Centre Cyfyngedig aims to continue building up reserves in future years to enable it to continue and expand the services they currently provide and develop new projects in the future.

The trustees will review the policy during the current year.

FUTURE PLANS

The charity continues to monitor the level of take up and adapt its facilities accordingly to accommodate current and future demand and patterns. The charity continues to support and raise awareness of existing services available to families and will signpost individuals on to the various services offered by associated partner organisations as appropriate. A range of appropriate new and diverse services will continually be encouraged and supported in accordance with identified need.

The charity remains committed to meet its regulatory and legal requirements that are associated with the delivery of its service and to achieve and maintain all appropriate quality kite marks.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CANOLFAN GOFAL PLANT TIDDLYWINKS CHILDCARE CENTRE CYFYNGEDIG

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Canolfan Gofal Plant Tiddlywinks Childcare Centre Cyfyngedig ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Fee income is recognised when the sale of goods or services under contract are provided for daily childcare services.

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Donations, are recognised when the trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

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.

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

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of minor additions or those below £1,000 are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Land and buildings - Over the term of the lease Fixtures and Fittings - 10% on cost Motor Vehicles - 20% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

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.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where 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.

Going Concern

The charity adopts the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Presentational and functional currency

The presentational and functional currency is £ sterling.

Basic 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 charities 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.

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

Page 7

continued...

CANOLFAN GOFAL PLANT TIDDLYWINKS CHILDCARE CENTRE CYFYNGEDIG

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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 charity 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 charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, 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 charities contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The advancement of education of children in particular through the provision of day care, playgroup sessions and out of school clubs in both Welsh and English mediums. The advancement of child and play care educational training opportunities through both Welsh and English mediums within the county borough of Neath Port Talbot and surrounding areas.

The Charity is restricted to operating with its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 9 July 1996 as amended by special resolution dated 9 April 2002.

In setting our objectives and planning our objectives our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Investment performance

Canolfan Gofal Plant Tiddlywinks Childcare Centre Cyfyngedig has been operating since 1996, obtaining charitable status on 27 June 2002. Throughout this time Tiddlywinks has continued to develop and adapt its service of the provision of day care, play group sessions and out of school clubs in response to local demand. Over the year the number of service users was up on the previous year as the effect of ongoing austerity measures, the growth of subsidised places within the maintained sector and unintended consequences of national initiatives continue to create a competitive market within the sector. Tiddlywinks' priority remains to ensure that the safety and the quality of the provision is paramount and that the service continues to reflect and embrace the needs of the community it serves.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Review

During 2024/2025 the Charity was funded variously from statutory sources, charitable trusts and income generated by the Charity in the provision of childcare.

The charity’s balance sheet shows a satisfactory position with unrestricted reserves of £275,054 of which £236,996 is held in designated funds, leaving a general fund of £38,058. Incoming resources for the period were £378,815 of which £20,406 were restricted (2024: £390,434 of which £63,071 was restricted). The resources expended during the period totalled £399,230 (2024: £342,902). This has resulted in net outgoing resources of £20,415 (2024: £47,532 incoming).

The financial position for the period 2024/2025 is such that the project will be able to continue carrying out its charitable objectives for the financial year 2025/2026 as set down in these financial statements.

Reserves policy

Canolfan Gofal Plant Tiddlywinks Childcare Centre Cyfyngedig aims to continue building up reserves in future years to enable it to continue and expand the services they currently provide and develop new projects in the future.

The trustees will review the policy during the current year.

FUTURE PLANS

The charity continues to monitor the level of take up and adapt its facilities accordingly to accommodate current and future demand and patterns. The charity continues to support and raise awareness of existing services available to families and will signpost individuals on to the various services offered by associated partner organisations as appropriate. A range of appropriate new and diverse services will continually be encouraged and supported in accordance with identified need.

The charity remains committed to meet its regulatory and legal requirements that are associated with the delivery of its service and to achieve and maintain all appropriate quality kite marks.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CANOLFAN GOFAL PLANT TIDDLYWINKS CHILDCARE CENTRE CYFYNGEDIG

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Canolfan Gofal Plant Tiddlywinks Childcare Centre Cyfyngedig ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Fee income is recognised when the sale of goods or services under contract are provided for daily childcare services.

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Donations, are recognised when the trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

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.

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

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of minor additions or those below £1,000 are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Land and buildings - Over the term of the lease Fixtures and Fittings - 10% on cost Motor Vehicles - 20% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

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.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where 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.

Going Concern

The charity adopts the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Presentational and functional currency

The presentational and functional currency is £ sterling.

Basic 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 charities 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.

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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 charity 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 charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, 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 charities contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
