Fund accounting
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 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
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained
by the charity.
Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to if, 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 performan￿ 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 other¥vise rf 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.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic
benefit to a third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in
settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditu￿ 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.
Tangible assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost or valuation,
less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
