TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".
Objectives and activities
The charitable objects of the charity are to help and educate young people so as to develop their physical and mental capacities so that their conditions of life may improve, and by providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals.
Snow Camp’s mission is to turn young lives around through the power of snowsports combined with engaging opportunities, positive relationships and life-changing progression.
Our aims are to:
Engage young people through accredited programs in inspiring new environments. Connect diverse communities, promoting inclusivity and friendships. Teach valuable skills, offering qualifications, vocational training and employment pathways. Develop resilience, perseverance and confidence through skiing and snowboarding. Support mental wellbeing with workshops, counselling and guidance. Inspire through mountain experiences that broaden horizons. Improve accessibility in snowsports to ensure equality and inclusion.
Our Objectives
Snow Camp programmes offer a vital service to youth projects across the UK, working closely with young people in local authority care, the youth justice system, those excluded from education and those at risk of a troubled future. All participants are referred by their youth worker, key worker or social worker due to their need for high level intervention. Our youth organisation partners trust that we are uniquely positioned to provide the support our young people require.
The young people we support are at a pivotal stage in their lives and our programmes are designed to build their confidence, self-belief and support networks. Through our approach, we enhance their mental wellbeing and inspire them to pursue a positive pathway toward employability.
For many young people from under-served backgrounds, access to enriching experiences, networks and career pathways is severely limited, keeping them in cycles of inequality. Snowsports, traditionally seen as exclusive and expensive, have been largely inaccessible to young people from lower-income backgrounds and with Black skiers accounting for just 1.5% of visitors to ski resorts, according to the National Ski Areas Association. However, when made accessible, snowsports can become a powerful tool for social mobility and personal development.
At Snow Camp, we work to make snowsports inclusive and accessible. With 75% of our young people coming from Black and ethnically diverse backgrounds and over 50% being female, we are challenging outdated perceptions of who belongs in snowsports. By removing financial and social barriers, providing structured training and supporting young people into employment and further education, snowsports can be a life-changing force for social mobility, helping young people break cycles of disadvantage and build brighter futures.

Strategies for achieving aims and objectives
Our Programmes
Today, young people can change their outlook and turn their life around on our programmes, improving their futures considerably. Our programme journey includes:
FIRST TRACKS 2-day introduction to skiing and snowboarding enriched with life skills sessions that build resilience, responsibility and self-esteem. Young people gain an accredited Snow Life Award.
GRADUATE 5 weekends of snowsports training, enhanced by life skills sessions that spotlight career opportunities within the snowsports industry through inspiring talks. Young people also engage in mental health workshops and have access to 1-1 counselling sessions from this point. Young people gain an ASDAN certificate in Sports and Fitness.
EXCEL 10 weeks of advanced snowsports training with the British Association of Snowsports Instructors (BASI), including a weeklong residential in a European Ski Resort. Integrated life skills and wellbeing workshops help participants set and achieve personal goals, culminating in BASI-trained instructor status along with Safeguarding and First Aid certifications.
At this stage, our young people become the next generation of instructors, supporting new participants on their Snow Camp journey — often from the same neighbourhoods and youth organisations. We recognise that young people are more likely to be inspired and get involved when they see their peers actively delivering our programmes. Our approach not only empowers our youth instructors but also inspires new participants to envision their own success, creating a strong, supportive community.
Once the young people complete Excel the following pathways become available:
FUTURES Snow Camp Futures is an exciting new addition to our programmes designed for young people aged 16+ who have successfully completed or are on the Snow Camp journey. This initiative serves as the next step in their development, providing a structured and supportive pathway into further training and employment.
APPRENTICESHIP Young people secure a full-time, one-year position at Snow Camp which incorporates delivery, instructing and work placements with snowsports industry partners alongside an NVQ Standard in Community Activator Coach / SVQ in Sports Coaching and BASI Level 1 Instructor qualification.
YOUTH FORUM A dedicated community for young people who have completed our programmes, ensuring Snow Camp remains youth-led. This initiative provides co-productive opportunities for participants to collaborate with our staff and Apprentices as youth volunteers in each region.

Public benefit
Snow Camp’s mission is to turn young lives around through the power of snowsports combined with engaging opportunities, positive relationships and life-changing progression.
Snow Camp is a life changing snowsports charity delivering an accredited journey of snowsports focused youth programmes at indoor snow centres and outdoor slopes across the UK. Our programmes take young people, who would never otherwise have the opportunity, from absolute beginners to trained snowsports instructors over the course of a year; before opening up further volunteering, apprenticeship and employment opportunities. Alongside learning to ski or snowboard, our young people also gain essential life skills and ready-to-work vocational training, earning a range of qualifications and receiving mental health support, as they progress through the year.
For full and up to date information please see: www.snow-camp.org.uk
In shaping our objectives and planning our activities for the year, the Trustees have given consideration to the duties set out in section 17 (5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit and to the Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit. In particular, the Trustees have considered how the planned activities will contribute to the overall aims and objectives that they have set.
The Trustees believe that the following paragraphs, specifically on the "Objectives and Activities" and "Achievements and Performance" for the year, relate in detail the benefit that the charity provides to the public.

Fundraising Events
We couldn't have carried out the vital work explained above without our incredible supporters. From ski challenges to runners and hikers, this is just how some people across the country helped us to fundraise in the last year. Thank you all so much!
Goodwood House, October 2024
A huge thank you to Ned's Fund and Frank Gardner: for an incredible evening at Goodwood House and to the Duke of Richmond for hosting us in such a spectacular setting. Everyone was captivated by Frank's stories and insights, making it a truly memorable night. The event helped raise vital funds for Snow Camp, enabling us to continue empowering young people, just like Ned, who are searching for new paths and purpose. We're pleased to announce that the evening raised over £7,000.

Inter-Livery Ski Challenge, January 2025
Once again, Snow Camp are reflecting on an incredible partnership which continues to grow year on year. The 2025 event marked Snow Camp’s 7th year in attendance as the Charity Partner raising a staggering £55,000 for Snow Camp’s work. In partnership with ESF, Morzine Tourism and Indiana Ventures, we once again ran our Triathlon event, only this time adding on the Snow Camp Curling Challenge as our 4th activity alongside our Après Drinks in the evening. Hosted at the Outdoor Ice Rink in the heart of Morzine, the Curling Challenge was a roaring success, with 4 teams gaining the maximum 10-bonus points available thanks to their poise and accuracy when throwing their stones down the ice. And as for the winner this year, it came down to one single curling stone, between the Grocers and the Salters. It couldn’t have been closer!
KSL Capital Partners
For the second consecutive year, Snow Camp was delighted to be at The May Fair Theatre in London as the charity partner for the Annual KSL Ski Movie Night. Over 100 guests raised more than £9,000 at a champagne reception and private screening of Land of Giants, the latest film by Matchstick Productions, where legendary skiers tackle massive lines, deep powder and mind-blowing terrain in some of the world’s most epic landscapes.
Snow + Rock
Partners like Snow+Rock are an integral part of our journey, helping us provide life-changing opportunities for young people across the UK. Through their collaboration with the Pennies donation scheme, Snow+Rock, Cotswold Outdoor and Runners Need have created a powerful platform that transforms everyday shopping into acts of generosity. The Pennies partnership has already raised a remarkable £30,000+ for Snow Camp’s life-changing work!
Knight Frank
In November, over 60 staff members from global real estate consultancy Knight Frank descended upon The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead for the 2nd Knight Frank Charity Ski Day for Snow Camp. The event kicked off with a warm welcome and a buzz of excitement as Knight Frank participants from every level of the organisation met the Snow Camp staff team and young people, before taking to slopes, some for their first ever ski or snowboard lessons. Snow Camp Apprentices and Youth Forum members worked with Hemel instructors throughout the session to guide beginners through the basics while the more experienced skiers took to the main and a head-to-head slalom competition. Along with the fundraising from Knight Frank themselves, the event raised a fantastic £8,650 for Snow Camp.

Financial review
The year ended 30th June 2025 recorded net income over expenditure on general unrestricted funds of £81,979. A designated fund of £148,650 was added to the 23/24 designated fund of £172,532 totalling £321,182 (see note 22) and allocated for the development of Snow Camp programmes over the coming years. Total general unrestricted reserves, now stand at £1,129,555 (See reserves policy below). By comparison, the previous period ended 30th June 2024 recorded net expenditure over income of £25,226, with total general unrestricted reserves being £1,047,576. The charity was then operating under its previous name Switch180 incorporating both Snow Camp and Stop.Breathe.Think, which has since become its own independent charity.
Total income for the year ended 30th June 2025 amounted to £1,354,342 compared to £1,477,842 in the previous period. Total expenditure for the year ended 30th June 2025 amounted to £1,140,225 compared to £1,459,948 in the previous period.
In line with SORP (FRS102), expenditure is analysed into two main categories; charitable activities and raising funds for the charity with the 'charitable ratio' being calculated as 'charitable activities expenditure' as a fraction of 'total expenditure'. In the year ended 30th June 2025 £955,527 of expenditure relates to charitable activities, and £184,698 to raising funds for the charity, a 'charitable ratio' of 84%. By comparison, in the year ended 30th June 2024, £1,300,833 related to charitable activities and £159,115 to raising funds for the charity. The charitable ratio for the previous year was 88%.
Reserves policy
We are committed to using our resources in pursuit of our charitable objectives. We are also committed to maintaining a level of reserves that is prudent to meeting ongoing liabilities, sufficient to ensure that all delivery commitments can be met and to protect the long-term future of Snow Camp. Our Reserves Policy seeks to balance these priorities by aiming to hold a level of General Reserves based on the planned expenditure and for any uncertainties for the year.
Our net income over expenditure ended at £230,629. Total reserves, including designated funds, now stand at £1,450,737 (2024: £1,220,108) and total general unrestricted reserves now stand at £1,129,555 (2024: £1,047,576). The trustees are committed to maintaining our general reserves policy to a goal of 9-12 months, in order to ensure the sustainability and growth of the charities going forward. (See note 23).
Going concern
The Trustees are pleased to acknowledge that current reserves satisfy our reserves policy and are sufficient to cover forthcoming commitments for the charity going forward. The level of reserves will continue to be monitored quarterly at Snow Camp Trustees meetings and appropriate action will be taken if reserves fall outside the desired range. The Trustees therefore consider the charity to be a going concern.
Major risks
Risk management
The trustees have carried out a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and considers that systems are in place to mitigate the risks. The major risks are assessed annually by the trustees, taking into consideration factors, external risks and the effects of legislation.
The major risks identified are:
Over reliance on key funders Adequate and appropriate spread of skills across the trustees
The systems and procedures in place to mitigate these risks include maintaining free reserves at an appropriate level, regular and early funding updates and seeking to broaden the funder base. The charity is also actively recruiting trustees with a broader and complementary range of skills to strengthen leadership capacity and address any identified gaps.

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:
-
the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors' report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

SNOW CAMP
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF SNOW CAMP
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 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 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
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
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
• Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
-
Made enquiries with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of fraud or noncompliance;
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations;
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting policies;
-
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations;
-
Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

SNOW CAMP
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF SNOW CAMP
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charitable company, and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, Health and Safety law, and employment law.
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company are complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to management.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur.
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, and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Snow Camp is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 306a Portland Road, Hove, BN3 5LP.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". 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. 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.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors 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 Income
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.
Grants are recognised on an accruals basis, accounted for in relation to the period that they relate. Where grants have been received for capital items, the total grant has been disclosed in the Statement of Financial Activities and depreciation, in accordance with the accounting policies, has been charged against that income over the estimated useful economic life of the asset.
Where grants are received during the year under review but relate to a later period, and there are conditions that need to be met, the amount is deferred under Grants in Advance in the Balance Sheet.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1 Accounting policies
1.5 Expenditure
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.
1.6 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.
1.7 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.
1.8 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.
Basic financial liabilities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1 Accounting policies
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9 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.
1.10 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.
3 Prior year restatement
The prior year figures have been amended to reclassify items from support costs to direct costs. Investments have been reclassified from current asset investments to fixed asset investments to reflect the charity's intentions to hold investments for the long term. There has been no impact on the surplus or reserves for the year ended 30 June 2024.
