basis. This assumes that the Charity will be successful in its fund-raising activities and will continue to
be supported by the trustees and related entities. The financial statements would not require any
adjustments if insufficient funds are raised as all assets and liabilities included in the balance sheet

Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised On￿ 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 be￿een 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
Company's objectives. as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when re￿1vable and the amount can be measured
reliably by the Company., this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the
institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.7 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 re￿iVed as adVan￿d payments for the goods or SeNi￿S 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-tsx 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.
2.8 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 ex￿ptIon of bank loans which are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
