1 Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation of the accounts

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland), and all other applicable accounting standards, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales (The SORP).

The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Companies Acts, and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustee's report, all of which are continuing Insofar as the SORP requires compliance with specific Financial Reporting Standards other than the FRS102 then the specific Financial Reporting Standards have been followed where their requirements differ from those of the FRS102.

Advantage has been taken of section 396(5) of the Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP.

The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below

Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

Incoming resources

Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis, except for legacies which are accounted for when the amount to be received is known with reasonable certainty.

Tangible fixed assets used by the charity

These are capitalized if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £500. These are depreciated over the useful economic life of the asset.

Valuation of trading stock

The charity runs a single shop selling donated goods, The value of the donated stock at the year end is considered immaterial.

1 Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation of the accounts

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland), and all other applicable accounting standards, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales (The SORP).

The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Companies Acts, and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustee's report, all of which are continuing Insofar as the SORP requires compliance with specific Financial Reporting Standards other than the FRS102 then the specific Financial Reporting Standards have been followed where their requirements differ from those of the FRS102.

Advantage has been taken of section 396(5) of the Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP.

The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below

Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

Incoming resources

Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis, except for legacies which are accounted for when the amount to be received is known with reasonable certainty.

Tangible fixed assets used by the charity

These are capitalized if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £500. These are depreciated over the useful economic life of the asset.

The charity runs a single shop selling donated goods, The value of the donated stock at the year end is considered immaterial.
