## TRUSTEES' REPORT
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023_
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Group for the year 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 group and the Company qualify as small under section 383 of the Companies Act 2006, the group 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:
1. the relief and prevention of sickness and suffering and the promotion of health; and
2. such other exclusively charitable purposes the trustees may from time to time determine.
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 2023_
## _**Achievements and performance**_
## **a. Main achievements of the Charity**
During 2023 all four pillars continue 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 2023 the Trustees announced there would be significant changes to the OWLS bereavement service. It was decided that the service will close until further notice and more details would be provided in due course. The info@janetomlinsonappeal inbox remains operational and we hope that the information provided on our website will be of assistance in the interim.
During 2023 £36,596 was spent to facilitate the service.
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 be 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.

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023_
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
## **c. Kinesio Taping**
The pillar remains very close to the Tomlinson Family and Trustees. The Appeal relaunched the service in 2023 and was an outstanding success. During 2023 two study days took place in March and November with 20 people attending. During 2023 £1,162 was spent to facilitate this. The Trustees fully expect funding to continue in 2024.
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 Beckett 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. M2 (formerly Mini Mermaids)**
M2 activated in primary schools for Years 3 to 6, helps girls create a foundation of self confidence, self esteem and self compassion through a combination of movement and mindfulness. The lessons of M2 strengthen a girl’s mental, emotional and physical wellbeing and provide them the tools to manage pressure – from peers, from society and from herself, about how she should look, feel and behave.
Research shows girls drop out of physical activity at greater rates and at earlier ages than boys. At the same time, girls' confidence begins to decline by age 9. Therefore, M2 engages girls before these declines begin and instils a love of being active and how it links to how they feel (their mental health).
The programme received £10,700 in 2023 (from the Jane Tomlison Appeal), and Trustees agreed to fund the programme for a further 3 years, still focusing on Leeds and Lincoln but expanding to other areas such as Hull and Sheffield.

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023_
## **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 had previously committed to fund a further £10,000 for 2023. In July 2023, the Trustees agreed to fund a further three years at £10,000 per year.
## **f. Organisational structure**
The organisational structure remained the same with the exception of the sad loss of Adrian Fitzpatrick who passed away in 2024.
## **g. Donations**
For the year ended 2023 it is very pleasing to report the Charity received £49,464 (2022 - £55,557) in non-group donations.
## **h. Fundraising**
The Jane Tomlinson Appeal welcomes donations from the public and businesses. It does not use any professional fundraiser or commercial practitioner to carry out activities on its behalf. The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is not a participant of a voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising or any voluntary standard of fundraising for the activities carried out on behalf of the charity. Should the charity at some point in the future undertake a specific fundraising campaign or start to generate more income through fundraising, the Trustees may look to sign up to a voluntary fundraising code.
## **i. Grants**
Grants have been made in line with the four pillars, these include:
£10,000 for Breast cancer early detection project. £36,596 for OWLS support days. £10,700 for Little Mermaids/Young Tritons

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 Group 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 that it 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 (approaching £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 2024 calendar year, in line with future planned growth.
These funds are held in long term deposit accounts, with interest payable to the Appeal. They are also held in an investment porfolio which the charity has, with professional advice, established, 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 cancellations.
## **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 when relevant.
## **d. Financial position**
The total funds held by the Group at 31 December 2023 were £2,005,741 compared to 2022 funds which were £1,592,227. All funds at the 31 December 2023 were unrestricted. The free reserves of the charitable company were £1,626,448.
Future commitments:
M2 - Trustees agree in principle to fund a further three years of programmes, whilst no specific amount has yet been agreed, it is expected to be in line with the 2023 grant of £10,700.
University of Nottingham - A further £10,000 per year is committed for the continuation of the breast cancer blood test research until 2026.

## **f. Subsidiary companies**
The Appeal continues to benefit from from its subsidiary companies, Run For All Limited, Ramathon Limited, Marathon Yorkshire Limited, Vitality Events Limited and Run For All Trading Limited.
The companies stage mass participation events at which entrants are encouraged to raise funds for a favourite cause. The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is one of the charities promoted, but entrants are permitted to raise sponsorship for any cause of their choice.
## _**Structure, governance and management**_
## **a. Constitution**

## **Plans for future periods**
2022 marked the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Jane Tomlinson Appeal. In 2023 Trustees continued to promote the Appeal with the aims of:
Increase the profile of the Appeal and the four pillars. Raise Funds.
Reconnect with Donors and Sponsors following the Covid pandemic.
## **Members' liability**
The Members of the Company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Company in the event of winding up.
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company 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 Group and the Company and of their incoming resources and application of resources, including their 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 Group will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group and the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and the Company 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 Group and the Company 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 charitable group'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 charitable group's auditors are aware of that information.

## **JANE TOMLINSON APPEAL**
## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JANE TOMLINSON APPEAL
We have audited the financial statements of Jane Tomlinson Appeal (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 group’s and parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2023, and of the group’s 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 Companies Act 2006.
## **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 auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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 group and parent 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.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees' report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JANE TOMLINSON APPEAL (CONTINUED)
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the trustees' report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the directors’ report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent 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 group and parent 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 group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JANE TOMLINSON APPEAL (CONTINUED)
## **Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
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 auditor’s 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:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the group and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the group that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not dedecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focussed on laws and regulations, relevant to the group, which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management, review of group minutes and legal expenses. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
As part of our audit, we addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing of journals and review of nominal ledger. We evaluated whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
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.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

**(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **JANE TOMLINSON APPEAL**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023_
## **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 Court, 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.
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 £.
The consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings. The results of the subsidiaries are consolidated on a line by line basis.
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own statement of financial activities in these financial statements.
## _**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 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, can be reliably measured.

**(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **JANE TOMLINSON APPEAL**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023_
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**2.3 Income (continued)**_
Grants are included in the consolidated 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.
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. 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 charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
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.

## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023_
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**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 bases:
|Website costs|- 33.3 % On cost|
|---|---|
|Goodwill|- 12.5 % 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.

## **JANE TOMLINSON APPEAL**
## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023_
## **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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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**_
Liabilities and provisions 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.

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023_
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## _**2.12 Financial instruments**_
The Group 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 consolidated statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
## _**2.14 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 Group 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 Group 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.
