TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. 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 Company 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 Jane Tomlinson Appeal supports:

I. the relief and prevention of sickness and suffering and the promotion of health; and

  1. such other exclusively charitable purposes the trustees may from time to time detennine.

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

"'Helping children to be happier and healthier and improving the lives of people living with cancer" - Jane Tomlinson Appeal Mission Statement

The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is the legacy of the inspirational Jane Tomlinson CBE and exists to support children's health and wellbeing and to improve the lives of people with cancer. Jane Tomlinson was an amateur athlete and fundraiser known the world over for completing a series of exceptionally difficult endurance challenges- despite being diagnosed with incurable cancer. Given six months to live in 2000, Jane defied her prognosis and endured countless courses of medical treatments, to achieve some truly epic endeavours. These included a full Ironman, two half ironman’s, the London Marathon (three times) and three long distance bike rides: John O'Groats to Land's End, Rome to Home(Leeds) and her final huge challenge, a 6,781.8 km 'Ride Across America'.

During her lifetime, Jane raised around £1 .85 million for her chosen charities, including Macmillan Cancer Support, Sparks (the children's medical research charity) and Martin House Children's Hospice.

Jane, who was honoured with an MBE and CBE from the Queen, also helped to establish this charity in her name in April 2006 in the hope that funds would continue to be raised for causes she cared about.

Initially operating as a grant-giving charity, the Trustees took the decision to refocus the Jane Tomlinson Appeal back in 2018. They determined the charity should focus on delivering four key pillars, in line with the original ethos of the charity. Those areas are: Kinesio taping for the relief of cancer symptoms; research into a blood test for the early diagnosis of breast cancer; health and wellbeing programmes for primary school age children and its new OWLS (Overcoming Worry, Loss and Sadness) children's bereavement service.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Company

During 2021 Covid still had a significant impact on the Charity's ability to generate income. Notwithstanding this, all four pillars continued to be supported. Details of the four projects and our activities during the year are noted below.

b. OWLS Children's Bereavement Service

OWLS (Overcoming Worry, Loss and Sadness) Children's Bereavement Service was launched in August 2019 and was the realisation of a long-held wish by the Tomlinson children to support other youngsters through the death of a loved one.

During 2020 the OWLS service was outsourced to Just ‘B’ based in Harrogate.

Having experienced the death of their mother at a young age, they understand all too well the difficulties young people can face, both in the long and short-term.

Based in Leeds, but also covering the immediate surrounding areas, the OWLS service is available to children aged 4 to 11 who are not receiving bereavement support elsewhere. Unlike many other organisations in this sector, the aim is still to able to provide access to one-to-one sessions with an experienced children's Bereavement Support Worker for those youngsters most severely affected by their grief.

OWLS offer:

• Practical and emotional advice and support for families

• 'Peer support' activity sessions for bereaved children to meet others in a similar situation and to explore their feelings

• One-to-one therapy for those children most severely affected

The service is entirely free to access and referrals are accepted from schools, social workers, health professionals - or from families or carers directly.

• A parent of children under 18 dies every 22 minutes in the UK; around 23,600 a year.

• This equates to around 111 children being bereaved of a parent every day.

• One in 29 schoolchildren has been bereaved of a parent or sibling - that's a child in every class.

• In Leeds alone around 260 parents die each year.

• Statistics show that adults who experience a bereavement in childhood are also more likely to experience problems in later life; they are more likely to suffer unemployment, have problems with substance abuse and are more likely to be involved in the criminal justice system.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Achievements and performance (continued)

c. Kinesio Taping

Covid meant that the Appeal was unable to put on any study days in 2021. The pillar remains very close to the Tomlinson Family and Trustees. The Appeal expects to relaunch the service in 2022.

Jane Tomlinson underwent Kinesio Taping during the final few months of her life. This taping, the sort of strapping seen on professional athletes made a significant difference to the quality of her life, helping her to breathe more easily, eat and drink and, crucially, to spend more quality time with her family, making memories.

Such was the apparent immediate benefit of the taping which her physio applied with 'no real expectation' that it became one of Jane's final wishes to establish whether other people with cancer might also benefit from this non-drug therapy.

To that end, the Appeal, in partnership with Leeds Seekell University, funded a four-year PhD exploring the potential benefits of Kinesio Taping for the relief of cancer symptoms.

On the basis of that research, in 2018, the Appeal launched its own programme, the first of its kind, of fully funded physiotherapy study days across the UK.

The premise was that physiotherapists working on the treatment of cancer patients could come together to learn more about the technique in theory and practice and its potential benefits to their patients.

Led by the renowned Team GB physiotherapist Alison Rose, who also treated Jane Tomlinson, the first session took place in October 2018 and was immediately oversubscribed with 18 healthcare professionals attending from across the north of England. Such was the interest; a waiting list was established for future sessions. The establishment of the programme was covered extensively in the media, including on television.

As well as learning about the theory around Kinesio Taping in cancer patients and looking at clinical reasoning, attendees learn practical application techniques and are provided with an amount of Kinesio tape to allow them to start offering the therapy to their patients as soon as possible.

d. Mini Mermaids and Young Tritons

Covid meant that the service remained much reduced in 2021. Some face to face support was possible, the majority of work was done to develop and offer a virtual support.

Mini Mermaids and Young Tritons support children with their emotional and physical wellbeing, helping them to be the best and happiest they can be.

It delivers a series of self development programmes, and nurtures a love of sport, for girls and boys in deprived areas.

The scheme received a commitment of £20,000 for 2021, £10,000 was paid in the year with the balance carried over into 2022. Trustees fully expect funding to continue in 2022.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Achievements and performance (continued)

e. Research into the early detection of breast cancer

Utilising funds granted by the Appeal and many others, scientists at the University of Nottingham are developing a test to detect breast cancer cells much earlier than is currently possible. The technology detects specific proteins in the blood and has already been shown to be successful in a trial of lung cancer patients.

If successful, it is hoped the research would lead to the creation of a specific blood test for breast cancer. The blood tests would work by identifying the body's earliest immune response to the presence of the cancer and they are expected to be able to diagnose sufferers up to four years before the disease might show up in traditional screening methods, such as mammograms.

By finding cancer earlier, more people will have a greater chance of survival. Patients can be offered curative treatment before cancer progresses to later and most often incurable stages. The University of Nottingham team are using similar technology to develop tests for use in colon cancer. In time, the technology could then be applied to other solid cancers, such as hepatocellular, pancreatic and prostate cancer.

Trustees committed to fund a further £10,000 for each of the years 21,22,23. The 2021 payment was carried over into 2022.

f. Organisational structure

With great regret and following a period off furlough the Trustees took the decision during 2020 to sadly make the roles of staff employed by the Appeal redundant. Three of the four pillars were unaffected, but in order to allow the OWLS service to continue with a much reduced cost base, the service was outsourced to Just 'B' based in Harrogate.

g. Donations

Even with Covid significantly restricting the Charities ability to raise income, it is very pleasing to report the Charity received £39,625 (2020 - £33,518) in donations.

h. Fundraising

Due to Covid the appeal has not been able to hold any fundraising events in 2021.

i. Grants

Grants have been made in line with the four pillars, these include:

£10,000 to Mini Mermaids and Young Tritons UK C.I.C. £26,859 for OWLS support days. £10,000 to University of Nottingham

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company 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

The Appeal's Reserves Policy aims to ensure the long term resilience of the charity and its operations.

In agreeing this policy, the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of the Charity and its beneficiaries, protects and safeguards the assets of the charity and ensures the Charity is accountable to fundraisers, donors and the Charity Commission.

There will be sufficient free reserves held (£100,000 per mass participation event) to ensure the sustainability of the Charity and its trading subsidiaries, which are presently the Appeals main source of funds, both through direct income, such as annual profits, and indirect income including donations, fundraising and event places.

This policy will be reviewed in the 2022 calendar year, in line with future planned growth.

The bulk of these funds are held in long-term deposit accounts, with interest payable to the Appeal. It is the charity's intention, with professional advice, to establish an investment portfolio to generate a further, more substantial, income stream. To further mitigate any risk from Run for All events to the Charity, insurance policies have been taken out against event cancellation.

c. Principal funding

The Appeal's principal sources of income are fundraising, grants, investment income and income from its subsidiary companies by way of Gift Aid donations.

d. Financial position

The total funds held at 31 December 2020 were £ 1,961,057, compared to 2020 funds which were £1,984,519. All funds at the 31 December 2021 were unrestricted. The free reserves of the charitable company were £1,740,194.

No funding beyond 2021 has been committed to the Mini Mermaids and Young Tritons project after 2021 but Trustees fully expect this to continue in the future.

A further £10,000 per year is committed to the University of Nottingham for the continuation of the breast cancer blood test research for 2022 and 2023.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

e. Principal risks and uncertainties

The trustees monitor all major risks and potential risks on an ongoing basis. In 2009 it was decided that due to the expanding run series, trading companies would be established to protect charity funds, and this continues. All major risks are reviewed annually and as they arise.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant shutdown of both social and economic activity in the UK and in many other countries around the globe. Trustees have considered the impact of the COVID-19 virus on the charity and consider the following areas to be those mostly likely to be negatively impacted by COVlD-19:

•reduced Gift Aid donations received from trading subsidiaries.

•reduced fundraising; and

•reduced sponsorship income.

f. Subsidiary companies

The Appeal continues to benefit significantly from profits generated by its subsidiary companies, Run For All Limited, Ramathon Limited and Marathon Yorkshire Limited.

The companies stage mass participation events at which entrants are encouraged to raise funds for a favourite cause. The Appeal is one of the charities promoted, but entrants are permitted to raise sponsorship for any cause of their choice.

Covid meant that the subsidiary companies were unable to stage any events in 2020 and as a result of this no Gift Aid has been received from the subsidiaries in 2021.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

Jane Tomlinson Appeal is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall governance of the Charity. Trustees are either elected or co-opted and the total number of Trustees may not be fewer than three. A co-opted member may retain office only until the next Annual General Meeting (AGM) and shall then be eligible for re-election.

In accordance with Article 3.5 of the Articles of Association, one third of the number of Trustees must retire at each AGM. In 2021 Craig Maher stood down and was re-elected.

They are asked to attend at least one meeting to gain a better understanding of the charity and their responsibilities as a trustee as set out in the constitution.

All new trustees are referred to Charity Commission guidance (CC3/CC20/The essential Trustee). All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Structure, governance and management (continued)

•Ramathon Limited, the owner of the Ramathon Half Marathon in Derby, was purchased in December 2017 and the half marathon taken into the Run For All series umbrella. The new Derby Half Marathon and Derby Family Fun Run first took place in June 2018 and remain part of the overall 'Run For All' stable of events.

Ramathon did not stage the Derby HM in 2021 but will do so in 2022.

•Vitality Events Limited was formed as a holding company to facilitate the purchase of Ramathon Ltd

All subsidiary companies are overseen by the board of Directors who run the companies independently to the charity, with regular reports being given to the trustees via the company CEO, as well as trustees Robert Shaw and Stephen Whiteside, who also sit on the Board of Directors of the subsidiary companies.

e. Financial risk management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

f. Standards and compliance

The Appeal strives for the highest standards and values its supporters enormously. We continually monitor developments in charity regulation and are a member of the Fundraising Regulator.

The Appeal collects and processes data in accordance with the General Data Protection Act 2018. The Appeal has opted to take the 'Consent' approach, ensuring it has explicit agreement from supporters to contact them and for what purpose.

The Appeal has a clear Privacy Policy and marketing preferences can be updated at any time. The new website is fully compliant with GDPR legislation and rules around cookie policies. The website was designed with accessibility in mind.

Plans for future periods

As this report was written, the UK is emerging from the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there are still many unknowns, the worldwide outbreak is expected to have a serious and lasting impact on the global economy.

At the time of writing, mass participation events have been restarted, although the 2021 calendar will have less events than 2019. However, the future remains bright.

2022 will mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Jane Tomlinson Appeal in and it is hoped this will be a great launchpad for the Appeal going forward to

Increase the profile of the Appeal and the four pillars. Raise Funds.

Reconnect with Donors and Sponsors following the Covid pandemic.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Jane Tomlinson Appeal ('the Company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's 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 Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1. General information

The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is Unit 5, Madison Comi, George Mann Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS10 1DX.

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.

The charity opted to adopt bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Jane Tomlinson Appeal 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.

The functional and presentation currency is pounds sterling, the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

2.2 Going concern

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the 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 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, 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.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Income (continued)

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.

Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the 's accounting policies.

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

Income earned on bank accounts is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

2.4 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 Company 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 Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure (continued)

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Taxation

The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company 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.

2.6 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

Amortisation is provided on the following basis:

Website costs - 33 % On cost

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Land and Buildings - 2% on cost Leasehold Improvements - 10% on cost Computer equipment - 35% on cost Office equipment - 25% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 10% reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of financial activities.

2.8 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

2.9 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.

2.10 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.

2.11 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 Company 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.12 Financial instruments

The Company 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.

2.13 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2.14 Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed asset contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

2.15 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 Company 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 Company 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.
