STATEMENT OF TRUSTÈES, RESPONSIBILITIES
for the financial year ended 31 March 2024
The trustees, who are also directors of British Deaf History Society Ltd for the purposes of company law, are
responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees as the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that
law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practi￿ (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law) including FRS 102 "The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" Section 1A (Small Entities). Under
company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and
fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
[] select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
[] make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting
framework, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those
standards; and
prepare the financial statements on the going con￿rn basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity
will continue in operation.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the
charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with. 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.

INDÉPENDENT EXAMINÉR'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF BRITISH DEAF HISTORY SOCIETY LTD
I have examined the financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise
the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account), the Balan￿ Sheet and the
related notes.
This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006. My work has been undertaken so that I might compile the financial statements that I have been
engaged to compile, report to the Board of Trustees that I have done so, and state those matters that I have agreed to
state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members, as a body, for my work, or for this report.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible
for the preparation of the financial statements in accordan￿ with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The
charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this financial year under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
o examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Act;
follow the prO￿dureS laid down by the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)
of the Charities Act 2011; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial
statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the
financial statements and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as
to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any
material respect:
D accounting records were not kept in accordan￿ with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
the financial statements do not accord with those accounting records
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the accounting requirements of section 396 of
the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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 (FRS102)
there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
I have no COn￿rnS and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 March 2024
GENERAL INFORMATION
British Deaf History Society Ltd is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in the England. The
registered office of the charity is 30 Elmwood Grove, Winsford, Cheshire, CW7 3UD, England which is also
the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£)
which is also the functional currency of the charity.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered
material in relation to the charity's financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going con￿rn basis under the historical cost convention,
modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordan
with the Statement of Recommended Practi￿ (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
FRS 102" applying Section 1A of that Standard.
As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the charity has varied the standard formats in that act for the
Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Departures from the standard formats are to comply
with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that
SORP.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 have been prepared on the
going con￿rn basis and in accordan￿ with the Statement of Recommended Practi￿ (SORP) "Accounting
and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102" applying Section 1A of that Standard.
Fund accounting
The following are the categories of funds maintained:
Restricted funds
Restricted funds represent income re￿iVed which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by
the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds consist of General and Designated funds.
General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtheran￿ of the
objectives of the charity.
o Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the board has, at its discretion, set aside for particular
purposes. These designations have an administrative purpose only, and do not legally restrict the board's
discretion to apply the fund.
Incoming Resources
Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally
entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts
involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the
charity.
Donations and legacies
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 performan￿ 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.
Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual
arrangements and from performan￿ related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of
particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised
when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related

continued

(A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital)
NOTÉS TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 March 2024
funding agreements. Vvhere a grant is received in advan￿, its recognition is deferred and included in
creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors.
Grants from governments and other co-funders typically include one of the following types of conditions:
ci Performance based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding only to the extent that
the core objectives of the grant agreement are achieved. Where the charity is meeting the core objectives of a
grant agreement, it recognises the related expenditure, to the extent that it is reimbursable by the donor, as
income.
EITime based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is
utilised in a particular period. In these cases the charity recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within
the period specified in the agreement.
In the absence of such conditions, assuming that re￿Ipt is probable and the amount can be reliably
measured, grant income is recognised once the charity is notified of entitlement.
Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when
received or receivable, whichever is earlier.
Resources Expended
Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are
separately accumulated and disclosed, and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is
recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic
benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs
are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are
allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity.
Expenditure on raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in
trading activities that raise funds.
Costs of charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and
ServI￿S 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.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to
depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated
residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
no depreciation 125 % straight line
Stock
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and
slow moving items. Cost includes all costs incurred in the normal course of business in bringing them to their
present location and condition. Stocks comprise fundraising materials. It is not considered practicable to value
stock of unsold donated goods at the financial year end.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at
the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the charity from government
agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial year end, is included in debtors.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of
withdrawal.

Taxation
No current or deferred taxation arises as the charity has been granted charitable exemption. Irrecoverable
valued added tax is expensed as incurred.

therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the
charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories
covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
