2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial stalemenls are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise
stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordan￿ with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Horizons
Plymouth meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Basis of preparation
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise
stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the chariws ability to continue as
a going concern nor any significant areas of Un￿rtaInty that affect the carrying value of assets and
liabilities held by the charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised On￿ the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations
Donations are recognised when the charity 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
perf0rrnan￿ by the charity 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 these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting
period.
Page 12

Horizons (Plymouth)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 July 2023 to 31
December 2024
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to
the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be
met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to
be released.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming
resources in the period for which. it has been received. Such income is only deferred when=
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods, or has
imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Investment income
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.
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of
the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is
probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to
the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot
be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the
use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the
spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income. the management of investments and those
incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities
and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities
and those costs of an indirect nature ne￿SSary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charitys compliance with constitutional and statutory
requirements. including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed
expenses.

Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or ServI￿S performed in the
ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction pri￿. They are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the
impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be
able to collect all amounts due according to the original temis of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an
insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity
does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the
creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer
setllement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current
liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction pri￿ and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees, discretion in
furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricled funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the
trustees,.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the
use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which
fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation
to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the
benefits relating to employee Servi￿ in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities
when they are due. If contribution payments ex￿ed the contribution due for service, the excess is
recognised as a prepayment.

The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:
Designated Reserves:
The designated fixed asset reserve represents tangible and intsngible assets which did not fomi part
of any other reserve. Similady the designated building purchase reserve represented reserves set
aside for the purchase of suitable premises should any become available,
Restricted reserves:
The row descriptions in the tables above outline the nature of the restrictions imposed by the donors.
Transfers between funds
In June 2024 Horizons Plymouth became a subsidiary of the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation,
following the change in group structure the Trustees have reviewed fund designations, both funds are
deemed to be aspirational in nature. Therefore both the designated fixed asset reserve and
designated building purchase reserve amounts have been transferred back to general unrestricted
funds.
