## **REPORT**
able to donate blood in Israel. Since 1999, anyone who had lived in Britain for more than six months (between 1980 and 1996) had been ruled ineligible for donation because of the Mad Cow’s Disease Crisis. However, with the Ministry of Health ruling that the risk no longer outweighed the reward, this changed. A launch event was held at the ‘Peres Centre for Peace and Innovation’, in Jaffa, and two of our UKdonated bloodmobiles were present to take donations on the spot.
When I look back at my comments from twelve months ago, the closing line of my report leaves me somewhat numb.
“Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to further growing our cause in 2023.”
At the time of writing, it was an innocuous sign-off. It was a hope for an increase in our fundraising ability and, in turn, our lifesaving capability in Israel. The events of October 7th provoked the circumstances for the Magen David Adom (MDA) cause to grow beyond recognition. How I wish that had not been the case. Our community responded in the most unbelievable way. Millions of pounds were donated without us even asking. Millions more were given in response to our emergency appeal. How I wish we did not have to make that ask.
MDA is more than just an emergency medical response service. It is also Israel’s national blood service and a conduit for global humanitarian aid. This is what took paramedic Felix Lotan to Turkey in the aftermath of the February earthquake that devastated large areas of the country. We were also able to call upon Shai Weiss, CEO of Virgin Atlantic, one year after they facilitated the spectacular evacuation of Ukrainian orphans, to provide much-needed aid by way of sending two aircraft full of medial and humanitarian aid to those impacted by the tragedy.
It is not possible to write a ‘normal’ review of 2023. In short, there was October 7th and then there was everything that went on before it. We have not yet returned to business as usual. Perhaps we never will. Or, at the least, ‘business as usual’ will be a preparedness for the new reality of ongoing wars in Gaza and on the Lebanese border, as well as persistent and growing threat of attacks from Iran itself and not just it’s proxies. Ultimately, MDA needs to be ready for any scenario but this will only be possible if MDA UK and our colleagues around the world raise the necessary funds.
Our ability to forge these relationships and build these connections is critical to our organisation. Hosting Labour Friends of Israel, in July, (and Conservative Friends of Israel prior to that) not only allowed us to showcase the outstanding work of our colleagues in Israel, but also to ensure that future UK lawmakers understand the unique challenges of safeguarding the health of all Israeli citizens. These learnings benefit all and this can only be a good thing.
To this end, 2023 had been a remarkable year, even before the horrific events of that fateful Simchat Torah. In the days leading up to October 7th, we had closed our celebrations of Israel’s 75th anniversary with Table75. An innovative food-based experience, that saw leading Chef Avishay Sing bring a taste of Israel to London, across three incredible evenings. Previously, we hosted the IDF’s Cantor, Shai Abrahmson, as well as summer events for Young MDA and our Patrons’ Reception at the Omer Tiroche Gallery.
As I alluded to in my introduction, the events of October 7th dominated 2023. Our response began on that very Saturday, and we have not stopped since. We have fundraised non-stop to ensure our colleagues have everything that they need to save more lives. Sadly, we lost 33 of our finest, murdered while trying to save others. It is a tragedy beyond words and their memories continue to be mourned as we come to terms with what happened.
Earlier in the year Brenda & Maurice Geller hosted a dinner for some of our CFMDA supporters (Christian Friends of Magen David Adom) celebrating the achievements of MDA UK President Lord Reading, Christine Darg and Pastor Adeboye who were recognised as three of the top 50 Christian Allies of Israel. Our Christian friends and supporters are such an integral part of our organisation, not just here in the UK but in communities such as Lagos and Abuja, too. It was very special to be at the RCCG (Redeemed Christian Church of God) dedication at the Marcus Blood Centre, in Ramla, last March.
2023 ended with an event we wish we did not have to hold: a hastily put together dinner at London’s Peninsula hotel. Over 400 guests attended to pay tribute to the MDA heroes of October 7th, and we raised over £500,000 in the process. The event was hosted by Rob Rinder MBE, and we heard from those who had been present on that horrific day in the Gaza Envelope, as the emergency calls flooded in. I am certain that all those that were present will never forget the raw emotion and outpouring of love that was felt that evening.
I am delighted that David Bernstein CBE and Marc Meyer joined our board, bringing with them a huge breadth of experience. I have no doubt that they will prove to be invaluable assets to our Board and mission.
This year I am going to finish by thanking you, again, and with the hope that, whilst support for MDA continues to grow, it is against the backdrop of a safe and peaceful Israel.
A big part of MDA UK’s mission is to connect Brits with our lifesaving work in Israel; not only those living in the UK but expats in Israel too. January brought a landmark moment when, for the first time in a generation, UK-born olim were

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Magen David Adom UK for the 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees’ report and a directors’ report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors’ Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
The Charity’s charitable objects are defined in the Articles of Association as ‘...primarily to assist Magen David Adom in Israel, or, where in the opinion of the Board of Trustees it is appropriate, in any other equivalent or similar organisation in Israel or anywhere in the world in the work of providing medical care and treatment for persons irrespective of the nationality, race, religion, ethnic origin, age disability, sexual orientation or political affiliation’.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.
## **b. Strategies for achieving objectives**
The overarching strategy for the charity is to continue supporting the projects of Magen David Adom in Israel. It also continues to support the Jewish community and the British Red Cross in a variety of other ways.
## **c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
In practice these objects are met by:
- assisting Magen David Adom in Israel with the provision of ambulances, medical goods and other supplies necessary for its work as Israel’s national medical emergency service.
- assisting Magen David Adom in Israel by the provision of funds for the construction and renovation of emergency medical and other facilities as necessary.
The funding of these activities is raised by appealing for, soliciting, accepting and receiving endowments, legacies, bequests, gifts or donations for any purpose consistent with the objectives of the Charity.
The Charity provides and maintains such administrative organisation as is required for the advancement of the objectives
The company is administered by the Chief Executive supported by an executive assistant, an operations manager, a data operations lead, a data operations administrator, a fundraising manager, an events coordinator and three volunteers.
## **d. Volunteers**
MDA UK has volunteers that make up local and regional fundraising committees in the UK.
## **e. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity’s purposes for the public benefit**
The Charity undertakes the following key activities in order to further it’s purposes for the public benefit:
- Saving lives in Israel
- UK First Aid training
- Working in collaboration with International Committee of the Red Cross
- Working in partnership with International Health Partners and Anera (Refugee & medical supplies Charity)
- PR & Advocacy
- providing first aid training to the Jewish community in the UK.
- providing a conduit for gifts in kind acting in concert with Magen David Adom in Israel and the British Red Cross.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **a. Main achievements of the Charity**
To 30th September 2023, MDA UK was on target to achieve its financial goals for 2023 with £3.3m in income. After the terrible events of October 7th, 2023, we saw increased levels of giving from our donors, with our emergency appeal raising an additional £13.2m. These funds were donated to MDA Israel to support their humanitarian mission and essential lifesaving work in Israel. None of this would have been possible without a dedicated board and team of professional staff who work tirelessly to produce these results. Magen David Adom UK’s reach in the UK and further afield continues to grow with loyal committees from Gibraltar to Manchester and Hull, and Glasgow to Cambridge.
## **b. Key performance indicators**
The main key performance indicators reviewed by the Charity are:
- Monthly Management Accounts reviews
- Regular Meetings of the Executive committee
- Operational Plan
- Quarterly review of budget
- Annual appraisals
## **c. Review of activities**
We use a traffic light system to review our ongoing activities as follows:
- Red: This project needs work – Incomplete
- Amber: On track but needs more attention – Partially complete
- Green: This project is on track and ready to be delivered – Complete
- **d. Factors relevant to achieve objectives**
Thanks to the power of and respect of the MDA brand it has enabled MDA UK to raise a high level of donations to enable the charity to meet its objectives and go beyond by funding capital projects at a time of great need in Israel.
## **e. Fundraising activities and income generation**
In 2023 we held numerous fundraising activities, events and appeals which contributed to high levels of income generation, including:
- MDA Legacy Mission
- Sporting Events
- Emergency Appeals
- Dinners and Receptions

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **a. Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
## **b. Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three to six months’ expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
## **c. Material investments policy**
The Charity has adopted a policy of placing its funds on short term deposit with its bankers as it wishes to maintain flexibility to meet urgent requests for financial assistance. Quoted securities when given to the Charity are sold as soon as practicable except where this conflicts with the donor’s wishes.
## **d. Principal risks and uncertainties**
All the below are factors that contribute to the financial risk of the charity:
- Our income is entirely voluntary.
- Viewed as an overseas charity.
- Economic downturn.
- High inflation.
## **e. Financial risk management objectives and policies**
The following procedures and software packages limit the exposure/risks to fraud on the charity:
- Signing Policy.
- Dual signatory for banking.
- Approval Matrix.
- System Penetration Testing via Security Matrix.
- Microsoft Defender.
- End Point Protection via Huntress.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **f. Principal funding**
The below are MDA UK’s core/principal means of funding:
- High Net Worth Donors
- Person to Person
- Legacies
- Regular periodic appeals
## **g. Review of the Year**
The total funds raised for Magen David Adom in Israel, international support and UK first aid training programme during the year ended 31 December 2023 totalled £16,964,884 (2022: £5,191,084).
Legacy income in 2023 was £952,685 (2022: £758.798) and remains a significant part of our income.
Donations and gifts in 2023 were £15,151,514 (2022: £3,041,147) and total income excluding legacies in 2023 was £16,012,199 (2022: £3,229,644). Person to Person major donor fundraising continues to grow and represents 9% of income net of legacies.
MDA UK’s support of MDA Israel continued during 2023 driven by a number of successful fundraising events throughout the year to September 2023. Following the events of 7th October 2023 MDA UK raised significant funds from our donors via our emergency appeal “Operation Swords of Iron”. These funds were donated to MDA Israel to support their humanitarian mission and essential lifesaving work in Israel.
None of this would be possible without a dedicated board and team of professional staff who work tirelessly to produce these results. Magen David Adom UK’s reach in the UK and further afield continues to grow with loyal committees from Gibraltar to Manchester and Hull Glasgow to Cambridge.
## **h. Financial Review**
The accounts for the year are set out on pages 18 to 21. The company continues its valuable contribution to Magen David Adom in Israel and other similar humanitarian causes where funds are donated for that purpose.
It is the policy of the company that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three to six months’ expenditure. The directors consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the company’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The company has adopted a policy of placing its funds on short-term deposit with its bankers as it wishes to maintain flexibility to meet urgent requests for financial assistance. Quoted securities when given to the company are sold as soon as practicable except where this conflicts with the donor’s wishes.
Cash at the bank and in hand on 31 December 2023 was £6,294,608 (2022: £1,877,763).
There has been an increasing trend for donors and legators, to some extent, to fund restricted items including vehicles. As with capital projects, the items are paid for once they are in Israel and payment requested against invoice. In the case of ambulances, on some occasions the lead time can be a few months which further inflates Magen David Adom UK’s bank position.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. 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 Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
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 the Companies Act 2006. 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.
## **DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS**
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees’ report is approved has confirmed that:
- so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditors are unaware, and
- that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditors are aware of that information.
## **AUDITORS**
The auditors, BKL Audit LLP, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The designated Trustees will propose a motion reappointing the auditors at a meeting of the Trustees.
Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MAGEN DAVID ADOM UK**
## **OPINION**
We have audited the financial statements of Magen David Adom UK (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Income and expenditure account, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **BASIS FOR OPINION**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council’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 charitable company’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.
12
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MAGEN DAVID ADOM UK (CONTINUED)**
## **OTHER INFORMATION**
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors’ 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.
## **MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Trustees’ report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES**
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 charitable company’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.
13
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MAGEN DAVID ADOM UK (CONTINUED)**
## **AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act 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 Auditors’ 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:
- Enquiring of management around actual and potential litigation and claims;
- Reviewing board meeting minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charity’s internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditors’ Report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditors’ Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
14
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MAGEN DAVID ADOM UK (CONTINUED)**
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors’ report.
## **USE OF OUR REPORT**
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors’ 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 and its members, 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 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **1. GENERAL INFORMATION**
Magen David Adom (UK) is a Charitable Company established on 22nd February 2006 by memorandum and articles of Incorporation subsequently ammended on 20th May 2010.
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Magen David Adom UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **2.2 Income**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
## **2.3 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity’s objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
20
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**
## **2.4 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
- Long-term leasehold property - Over lease term
- Fixtures and fittings - 25%
## **2.6 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.7 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
21
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**
## **2.8 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
## **2.9 Financial instruments**
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **2.10 Pensions**
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
## **2.11 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
