from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity a5 defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin
1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to
the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of
Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of
Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial ststements are prepared in steding, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, Imodified to include the
revaluation of freehold properties and to include investrnent properties and ￿rtain financial instruments at fair
valuel. The principal accounting policies adopled are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity
has adequate resourcès to continue in operational existen￿ for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unreslricled funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable
objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donorg or gr8ntors as to how they may be used. Th
purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintsined by the
charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any perf0mlan￿ conditions have been met,
the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified
of the donation, unless performan￿ conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in
relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution,
the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy IS treated as a
contingent asset.

'Other Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

conlraclual provisions of the instrument.

there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

transaction pri￿ including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method unless the arrangernent ¢onstitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is

and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimatss are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future
periods.
