As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restricted conditions imposed by donors. There are no restricted funds as at the Balance Sheet date.

YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised as soon as there is a present obligation committing the Charity to pay out resources, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be measured or estimated reliably.

Support costs

Support costs are those costs which are common to all areas of the organisation. These are allocated across all areas of activity on the basis of the number of service users for each activity.

Governance costs

Governance costs are associated with the governance arrangements of the charity and relate to the general running of the charity. These costs include audit, legal advice for Trustees and costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements such as the cost of Trustee meetings and the preparation of the statutory accounts.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in sterling at the average rate of exchange for the year. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are expressed in sterling at the rates of exchange ruling on the balance sheet date. All exchange differences incurred in the year are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
