TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Strategic report

The description under the headings "Achievements and performance" and "Financial review" meet the company law requirements for the Trustees to present a strategic report.

Acheivements and Performance

Overview

In October 2023, Everton in the Community launched the Trinity Project, a transformative five-year strategic plan aimed at creating stronger communities and brighter futures across the Liverpool City Region. Unveiled at Goodison Park to key stakeholders, the strategy is built around three core pillars: EitC Learns, EitC Minds and EitC Thrives.

EitC Learns

Early Years and Primary Education

Over the 2023/24 academic year, the Primary Education team engaged with 6,471 children across 115 schools through the Premier League Primary Stars programme and our Steve Morgan Foundation (SMF) funded Community Impact Model. The team worked with partner schools to deliver a range of activities, including dance and gymnastics, forest school, swimming, teacher CPD, and football development. In the L4/South Sefton area, the SMF funded programme supported nine schools in deprived areas, offering free pilot programmes and e- steam/social action sessions. Notable events included a SATS booster breakfast club and the Junior Goodison Sleepout, focusing on wellbeing and easing SATS anxiety. These initiatives received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants and parents alike. The team also supported teacher upskilling in swimming, with 100% of pupils achieving confidence in the water and half meeting national curriculum expectations.

The academic year saw significant achievements, including a surge in female football engagement, culminating in a girls’ team winning a national tournament. Other highlights included knife crime awareness workshops, utilising VR technology, and winning the Premier League Disability Festival leading to hosting rights for the 2025 finals. The team also introduced a youth board involving children with ADHD to shape future events. Mentoring emerged as a key success, surpassing annual targets by the Christmas period, with high demand for PSHE interventions, particularly speech and language support for years 3 and 4.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Secondary Education and Pathways

The Secondary Education team engaged over 3,000 students through themed events, targeted interventions, post-16 development and career experiences. The integration of our ‘e-steam' initiative and the National Citizen Service (NCS) "Open to All" has enhanced opportunities for young people in high-deprivation areas, while team expansion enabled the introduction of specialised programmes like "Reach Your Goals" for KS3 SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) students. This pilot supported Year 7 students with EHCPs (Educational. Health Care Plan) in the L4/South Sefton area, focusing on social interaction, emotional resilience and literacy. Additionally, a20-hour literacy programme improved reading ages for 80% of participants, addressing gaps identified through assessments. Efforts to boost attendance through rewards, mentoring and small group work yielded positive results, with higher attendance rates and behavioural improvements among participants compared to peers.

Career development initiatives included internships for 140 students, with placements at organisations like Laing O’Rourke and Weightmans, as well as career events reaching over 240 students. An “at risk of NEET” programme supported Year 11 students with tailored plans to secure post-GCSE progression. Social action projects engaged over 150 participants in campaigns addressing food poverty, mental health and violence against women. Despite the upcoming closure of the NCS initiative in March 2025, the programme exceeded expectations.

Digital Skills Lab

The Digital Skills Lab remains a transformative initiative addressing the digital skills gap in Merseyside by providing cutting-edge STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) resources for children and adults. As the centrepiece of the ‘E-STEAM’ programme, the lab inspires interest in science and technology, equipping participants with skills for future careers while strengthening workforce readiness. Over the past year, it has offered free digital skills training for adults, supported creative projects like podcasts, escape rooms, and enriched STEAM education for schools. Additionally, innovative programmes like coding, engineering, and robotics workshops have engaged students, breaking barriers to opportunities in STEAM. Highlights include the ‘Game Changers’ event, inspiring students to consider gaming industry careers, and the Women in Engineering event, empowering 60 Year nine girls to explore diverse roles in engineering.

The Sphero Coding and Robotics programme continues to be a cornerstone of secondary education, significantly increasing female interest in computer science, while the new Sphero Blueprint programme introduced students to engineering principles, with 100% reporting increased knowledge. Primary education initiatives also thrived, with partnerships like the Royal Institution offering coding masterclasses for KS2 students, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine piloting antibiotic resistance sessions, and AstraZeneca's Active Science programme expanding across the region. Social action projects like the Clean Air Quest educated families on air pollution, empowering students to lead local change. Across primary and secondary levels, these programmes have reached thousands of students, fostering learning, innovation and community impact with 2,588 participants engaged across our primary education, secondary education and community initiatives.

Early Intervention

Our Early Interventions team has supported 139 young people at risk of exclusion from school, tailoring delivery to referral needs and local insights. Projects included an arts initiative with Liverpool Empire Theatre, where 12 female participants explored spoken word, dance, drama and scriptwriting. They also focused on women’s rights, creating a piece to be showcased during the International Women’s Day campaign.

The team delivered the ‘She Inspires’ programme alongside the LFC Foundation, Merseyside Police and the FA, targeting 300 females across 15 schools to boost confidence and aspirations through football and sport.

Additionally, the team facilitated mixed and female-only groups meeting twice weekly. Participants engaged in issue-based workshops, outdoor activities, and skills development with 114 earning qualifications and building transferable skills. These initiatives have increased confidence, self-esteem and personal growth amongst participants.

Targeted Support

The Safe Hands programme supported 64 participants with complex and neurodiverse needs this year, incorporating Functional Skills English and Maths up to Level 1 into post-16 delivery. The programme also focuses on personal and life skills, including cooking, food hygiene, ASDAN and King’s Trust qualifications, helping participants transition to education, training, or employment (ETE). The STEPS project, led by the Neurodiversity Coordinator, supports participants in understanding neurodiversity and its daily impact. Last year, 100% of leavers secured post-16 destinations.

Pre-16 participants focused on mindfulness, social interaction, and resilience, addressing educational gaps due to withdrawn schooling. A Family Support Worker was introduced to assist families with debt management, referrals to CAHMS, YPAS, counselling and education support proving highly successful.

Participants also engaged in social action projects, including fundraising, building a forest school and assisting in a local care home. Furthermore, they participated in the L4 Community Lantern Walk, creating banners and flags to support Spellow Lane Library after riot damage. Both participants and families joined this community solidarity event. These activities helped to develop confidence, community involvement and a sense of belonging, enriching the participants’ personal and social development.

Employment support was provided by the Working Well team who provided over 500 participants with advice & guidance and access to job fairs and recruitment events such as Women in Construction. 64 individuals were placed into employment. Additionally, the Digital Inclusion Network - launched in June 2023 - tackled digital poverty through training 26 Digital Champions, by distributing devices, SIM cards, and hosting digital skills workshops.

EitC Thrives

Community Engagement

Over the past 12 months, our community provision has engaged over 1,500 participants aged 8-19 through 15 after-school clubs and 12 community venues. Half-term activities provided positive alternatives for ‘at-risk’ youths and those on free school meals.

The Kicks team facilitated participant representation in tournaments, including ‘4 Clubs, 1 Goal’, the Premier League national tournament at St. George's Park and local inter-youth competitions. Youth workers delivered innovative projects on themes such as fashion sustainability, spoken word, drama, and photography, culminating in a fashion show fundraiser. Issue-based workshops addressed further topics such as Black History Month, Rainbow Laces, knife crime, exploitation and violence against women and girls.

Christmas events included a grotto for 100 participants and distribution of hampers and gifts. Participants also engaged in Merseyside Police’s Young Advisory Board, completed qualifications that include Go Lead and Duke of Edinburgh with some securing employment, including six roles in Everton hospitality and one with EitC.

Starting Well Programme

The Starting Well programme continued its vital support for parents and guardians of children aged two and under, creating a safe space for bonding and learning. Everton Women’s first team stars participated in the Charity’s 36th anniversary celebrations, further fostering community engagement.

Home Is Where The Heart Is

Over the year, we supported nine residents and engaged 31 participants through outreach at HIWTHI. Four residents transitioned to independent living, and several others gained employment. For example, one participant completed a BTEC Level 3 in Management and moved from a women’s refuge to their own flat, while another secured part-time work at EitC as a youth worker.

EVERTON IN THE COMMUNITY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

We maintained strong collaboration with City of Liverpool College, providing consistent support for participants, resulting in several transitioning to employment, education, or training, with three moving into the HIWTHI house. Our work with asylum seekers and refugees has been particularly impactful, with staff assisting students to navigate rights, employment and housing, earning positive feedback from the college.

Partnerships with targeted services and the care leaver sector have grown through networking events and initiatives such as hosting a care leavers football tournament during October half term, further expanding support for vulnerable groups.

The People’s Health Project (PHP)

This eight-week healthy lifestyle programme engaged 200 children from five primary schools across Merseyside. Sessions emphasised nutrition, physical activity, and sleep hygiene, teaching life skills like food preparation and cooking while promoting overall wellbeing.

Football Development

Over the last 12 months, Football Development has delivered diverse projects, creating opportunities, pathways and upskilling participants, supported by impactful partnerships.

The Street Soccer Academy, a personal development programme for 18-30-year-olds at risk of homelessness was delivered weekly for 10 weeks. It focused on physical activity, positive mindset coaching, employability and soft skills. In 2023, EitC teams reached the national final at Leicester City’s academy. Outcomes include participants referred to employment services, accessing counselling, and playing competitive football.

Kick The Stigma, relaunched in September 2024 in partnership with The Growth Company, is an eight-week programme supporting males aged 18+ on probation. It includes eight mental health workshops and eight football/gym sessions. This programme enhances employability and mental wellbeing for participants.

The FA Playmaker Award delivered by Football Development was launched in 2024 to engage hard to reach young people who have a passion for football. The award is split into theory and practical with participants gaining the opportunity to plan, deliver and evaluate coaching sessions.

Veterans’ Support

Veterans' services continued to flourish, with key initiatives like the Veterans' Christmas Ball and the launch of the Stand By Her programme for female veterans. The WELLFIT programme integrated physical activity with mental health discussions, and services expanded to support veterans with dementia and bereaved families, ensuring their unique needs were addressed.

Falls Prevention

The Safe and Steady programme continued to support individuals at risk of falls, with key achievements including the identification of participants in need of critical medical interventions. The programme improved physical wellbeing for participants through accessible exercise sessions, reducing anxiety about falls and promoting independence. The programme also held a successful Falls Prevention Week event and a festive celebration with over 100 attendees.

Food Pantry

The Blue Base Pantry continued its crucial role in combating food insecurity, serving over 38,000 individuals by the end of 2023. Additionally, the pantry saved 28 tonnes of food from waste, provided health screenings, welfare advice, and access to employment fairs making it a vital community resource.

The facility also provided crisis interventions, directing individuals to appropriate support services.

Mental Health and Wellbeing

Everton in the Community’s ongoing focus on mental health expanded considerably in 2023, with evidencebased programmes offering support in response to the heightened demand caused by the pandemic and cost-ofliving crisis.

Innovation and Strategy

Marketing, Media, and Communications

The introduction of a new Marketing Manager has significantly enhanced EitC’s ability to develop its brand and ensure consistency across all materials and programmes. This has been particularly valuable for school-related and SMF-funded initiatives.

During the 2023/24 season, the Communications department expanded to provide greater focus on digital content and public relations. Under the leadership of the Head of Media and Communications, the team includes a Senior Digital and Content Coordinator and Communications Assistant to enhance digital output across the charity’s website and social platforms, and a Senior PR Coordinator to manage external media opportunities.

The Communications team played a critical role in the launch of the Trinity Project, producing rich content such as podcasts and hosting stakeholder events to outline the strategy’s community impact. Highlights from the year include:

Charitable Donations and Partnerships

Fundraising

As part of a new fundraising strategy, new initiatives were launched over this period, including a silent auction run by an external company raising around £10,000 per match.

A new partnership was also launched with RunThrough - a national running and challenge events company with a large portfolio of events being delivered locally and internationally – providing opportunities for our supporters to take part and raise funds on behalf of EitC.

The Goodison Sleepout took place in October with over £35,000 raised for the charity’s Home Is Where The Heart Is programme which works to tackle homelessness amongst young people in our city. The annual birthday celebrations involved a variety of fundraising activities and raised over £45,000, including £20,000 being donated by club partner FIGS.

End of season play on pitch activities organised by Everton Football Club also contributed to the charity’s

fundraising efforts.

We continue to offer both a £1 and a £2 weekly draw through our lottery provider Sterling where weekly entries have remained consistent throughout the season.

Volunteering

In early 2024, Everton in the Community proudly achieved the Investors in Volunteers Accreditation, maintaining its position as the only Club Community Organisation (CCO) to receive this prestigious recognition. The accreditation assessment commended EitC’s commitment to volunteering, stating: “EitC has built a loyal and committed volunteering family, making a significant difference locally, nationally and internationally”

At the charity’s Blue Heart awards, the Blue Base Pantry volunteering team received ‘Team of the Year – NonSporting’ award.

The creation of a new ‘Carer Mentors’ voluntary position has provided a transitional pathway for bereaved carers, to be upskilled to support participants and their families who attend our Pass on the Memories programme. We continue to welcome corporate volunteers into our programmes as well as organisations such as Sodexo, Unilever and British Gas to utilise their corporate volunteering days with Everton in the Community.

In November, over 20 Volunteers will embark on a life-changing experience to Nakuru, Kenya where they will support young people aged 3-16yrs who are growing up in poverty. Their work will include teaching English and Geography as well as educating staff and pupils on UK Traditions.

In May, the charity celebrated its first Blue Heart Awards at Content in Liverpool city centre, honouring participants, volunteers, and fundraisers across Eitc’s 60+ initiatives.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to three month’s expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has not been fully met during the year, however, the charity is working hard to re-instate this level of reserves.

Investments policy

Under the Articles of Association the charity has the power to make any investment the trustees see fit. The Board approved the appointment of Quilter Cheviot as Investment Fund Managers to the charity with discretionary powers to invest funds in line with the Ethical Investment Policy restrictions detailed below:

The exclusions agreed shall apply on a look-through basis. It is recognised that from time to time there may be a technical breach of these exclusions which does not result from an overt investment decision made by the Investment Manager. In such a case, the Investment Manager will be required to act to rectify the position at the earliest opportunity and to report such action to the charity.

The Investment Manager provides custody of assets. the charity has a nominated list of authorised Trustees, at least two of whom are required to sign instructions to the Investment Manager.

The Investment Manager will submit a report to the Trustees each quarter outlining performance, asset allocation, risk profile and position of the portfolio against the Investment Objective.

The Trustees have responsibility for agreeing strategy and monitoring the performance of the investment assets. The Trustees will meet every six months to review the portfolio, including an analysis of return, risk and asset allocation. Performance will be monitored against agreed market benchmark, against the Investment Objective of inflation plus 4% over the long term, and a peer group index.

Risk assessment

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees, who are also the directors of Everton In The Community for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company 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 incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.

EVERTON IN THE COMMUNITY

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EVERTON IN THE COMMUNITY

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Everton In The Community (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

EVERTON IN THE COMMUNITY

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF EVERTON IN THE COMMUNITY

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report included within the Trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Everton In The Community is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Goodison Park, Goodison Road, Liverpool, Merseyside, L4 4EL.

In the event of a winding up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit can be reliably measured and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

EVERTON IN THE COMMUNITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Income from capital grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met and the amount can be reliably measured.

Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or where entitlement to the grant funding is subject to performance conditions. Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the related services have been provided, income in advance of those services being provided is deferred.

Income from trading activities, includes income from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is recognised when earned and the charity is entitled to the receipt.

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

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.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Support costs are those that that assist the work of the charity but are not directly attributable to the charitable activities. Support costs include office costs, administrative payroll costs and governance costs which support the charity's activities. Where the support costs cannot be attributable to a direct activity they have been allocated to the costs of raising funds and charitable activities on a pro-rata basis.

Governance costs represent costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings 2% on cost Leasehold land and buildings 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings 25% on cost Motor vehicles 33.33% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

(Continued)

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.9 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

1.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.11 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 charity's 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.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

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 operations 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 charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.12 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.13 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
