TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
OVERVIEW
The focus remained on strengthening Interburns long term strategy for impact and sustainability guided by the Programme Strategy 2023-2027 and key principles: Information gathering; Advocacy; Strategy development; Establishing/strengthening burn prevention programmes; Establishing/strengthening burn care services; and Capacity building.
Interburns’ technical expertise and reputation continued to attract new opportunities and partnerships, most noticeably through the request from the Lebanese Ministry of Health for an emergency response at a time of conflict, the development of a joint concept note with UK Med for UK Burn Assessment Teams (BAT), and funding for a new Burns in Conflict course. Existing partnerships, for instance with Resurge (Africa) and Interplast (Nepal), were bolstered through joint programming initiatives.
The Choithram International Foundation (CIF) continued to play a key role in support of Interburns aims and objectives, moving away from direct organisational support to funding programmes. The drive to diversify funding and partnerships resulted in new MoUs signed with: International Disaster and Emergency Aid with Long Term Support (IDEALS); Sheihk Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC); Islamic Help; United Palestinian Appeal (UPA); the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health; Korle Bu Hospital, Ghana; the European Burn Association (EBA); and Interplast (Nepal).
The Regional Hub for Asia in Nepal achieved greater autonomy through independent programme delivery and partnership development. Close working relations were cemented with key stakeholders such as the Ministry of Health and Population’s National Health Training Centre (NHTC), hospital staff, and offices of the WHO. The accreditation of Basic Burn Care (BBC) as the first structured burn care training programme for governmental health workers nationally, is particularly noteworthy.
In India, local trainers reached several thousand with targeted community burn prevention messages and the extension of work into schools and communities. In Pakistan, the team developed and delivered bespoke training to nurse case managers and supported burn units with specific Quality Improvement (QI) recommendations following burn service assessments.
The launch of the Regional Hub for Africa in Tanzania was bolstered by the appointment of a Regional Clinical Lead in the country. A new Surgical Lead based in South Africa further emphasised Interburns’ aim to disseminate an integrated comprehensive approach on the continent.
In Malawi, Advanced Burn Care (Nursing) was delivered by the largest local faculty ever for an ABC course, underpinning efforts to grow the number of experienced faculty globally. The launch of new QI projects for ongoing mentoring support, gave impetus to this important initiative.
In the MENA region, the emergency response in Lebanon displayed Interburns ability to deploy skilled burns staff at speed and with impressive results. This experience, which was a new departure for Interburns, delivered valuable lessons for the future. An updated Advanced Burn Care (Surgery) was delivered in the UAE and the agreement with SSMC anticipated further Advanced Burn Care trainings (ABCs).

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Interburns profile was heightened by a stall at the International Society of Burn Injuries (ISBI) Congress in Birmingham; several presentations were given by Interburns global network. Being a member of the Steering Committee for the first World Burns Week, alongside representatives of multi-lateral associations, was an important new platform for Interburns to advocate for improved burn care in low resource and conflict settings.
In response to the growing number of hospitals using Interburns Delivery Assessment Tool (DAT) to self-assess their burns services, 21 during this period from 8 countries, a standardised review form was created and the multi-disciplinary review team broadened.
A new research committee was formed to promote publication of evidence-based research and new academic partnerships.
The number of registered users on Interburns learning platform reached nearly 2,000, from 116 countries. The French version of EBC, Les Soins fondamentaux en Brûlologie, was launched with both the English and the French courses accepted onto the UN’s global surgery learning platform.
The Board remained stable during this time.
Sian Falder stepped down from her role as Interburns Surgical Lead, replaced by Nikki Allorto from South Africa. We thank Sian for her excellent service.
1.Regional Hub - Asia
Nepal
The initial focus of the Burn Care and Prevention Programme which began in April 2024, was to integrate Interburns training programmes within the government’s national health training strategy, while also continuing to raise funds for the longer-term programme.
The process of accreditation involved the delivery of two Basic Burn Care (BBC) courses in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Population’s National Health Training Centre (NHTC), supported by Sushma Koirala Memorial Hospital (SKMH) and Interplast (Nepal). BBC materials were reviewed and amended by a stakeholder group to conform to NHTC guidelines. The course was approved as the first structured burn care training programme for governmental health workers nationally, in March 2025.
This process strengthened ties between Interburns Regional Hub in Nepal and key partners in government as well as with international agencies; the WHO re-affirmed their support of Interburns aims.
With the fellowship programme temporarily on hold (see Fellowships below), the regional team supported a nursing fellow from Tanzania and also helped to re-develop the portfolio of materials underpinning the International Training Centres (ITC).

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Other initiatives during this time include:
-
Two 6-day Primary Burn Care training courses for district and provincial hospital staff in collaboration with the NHTC.
-
Identification of potential local funders i.e. Nabil Bank and the Rotary Club including organising field visits and developing project proposals.
-
Delivery of Community Burn Prevention (CBP) to the Thamel Rotary Club.
-
Development of a forest fire awareness flyer.
India
Substantial training took place at the community level as part of the Burn Care and Prevention Programme in Madyah Pradesh. Local trainers delivered Community Burn Prevention (CBP) to a total of 4,834 patients waiting to be discharged from Netralaya hospital, Indore.
In addition, an expansion of CBP training into schools and Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) was successfully piloted and subsequently extended. 421 schoolchildren and 370 CBO members were trained in the first three months.
An MoU with the Indore Division Commissioner, to enable multi-level health worker training in eight districts was drafted. Work also continued to expedite an MoU with Madyha Pradesh’s National Health Mission to enable training at all tiers of the health system in 15 districts.
A video on managing eye burns was developed in collaboration with Choithram Hospital, Indore. This was included as part of ABC (Surgery) Abu Dhabi.
A new collaboration with the Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina, US, will support research to provide rich qualitative information on the impact of Interburns training.
Pakistan
Interburns continued working with the Pakistan Institute of Living and Learning (PILL) and the University of Manchester in the research project Psychosocial Rehabilitation for Burn Patients.
The newly conceived role of nurse case managers to deliver a psychosocial intervention to burn patients is critical to the success of the project. Interburns drew from past experience training healthcare workers in the Occpuied Palestinian Territories, to develop a new two day course which was held in May at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad, led by Interburns Surgical Lead and a Clinical Psychologist.
22 nurse case managers attended. The training was very well received and helped define the role more clearly within the context of the overall project.
7 burn units conducted a self-assessment of burn services using Interburns Delivery Assessment Tool (DAT). After review by the multi disciplinary team (MDT), detailed reports with recommendations for ongoing quality improvement (QI) were shared.
Two nurses from Pakistan attended Advanced Burn Care (Nursing) in Malawi.

2.Regional Hub - Africa
Tanzania
The Board approved the decision to open a Regional Hub for Africa in Tanzania in 2024. A concept note was developed to include an initial scoping mission in advance of a longer-term programme to disseminate Interburns comprehensive approach. After unavoidable delays, the scoping visit took place in mid 2025.
The decision to appoint a plastic surgeon from Mwanza, Tanzania as the new Regional Clinical Lead, gave added impetus to these plans.
Malawi
Interburns has worked in Malawi since 2009 and has built strong links with individuals and institutions through initiatives such as quality improvement projects, training, faculty development and burn service assessments. Building on these, and responding to an identified need for more qualified nurses with the skills to treat burn patients, ABC (Nursing) was delivered at Queen Elizabeth Hosptial, Blantyre in September.
Before the training, staff at four hospitals conducted service assessments using Interburns Delivery Assessment Tool (DAT) which guides teams to self-evaluate their unit, exposing strengths, gaps and weaknesses to prioritize improvements and measure change over time.
33 nurses from Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Pakistan attended the training led by a local team of nurses, a surgeon and an anaesthetist. This constituted the largest faculty from the Africa region ever on an ABC course and is testament to Interburns approach to improving burn care globally. Local faculty were supported by faculty from Sweden, India, the UK, New Zealand/UAE, Ghana and France. Members of the international team also delivered training in rehabilitation and nutrition to staff unable to attend the course.
Sierra Leone
In 2019 Interburns carried out an assessment of burns services in Sierra Leone on behalf of Resurge (Africa). The report concluded that ‘the health system is suitably structured to support an integrated burns service with well-established community services and a system of district hospitals and teaching / specialist care provision in the capital. The report identified a number of gaps, the most significant being the lack of training among multi-disciplinary health staff, evident at all levels.
Following the 2021 mass casualty burn disaster in Freetown, efforts have been made to strengthen the capacity for improved burn services, mainly through construction of a new burns unit and delivering individual training for hospital staff.
In late 2024, the Choithram International Foundation (CIF) requested a concept note for a programme that built on the assessment and implemented Interburns comprehensive approach.
An 18 month programme was launched in January to include an initial six month scoping phase and delivery of EBC and EBC (ToT), followed by a 12 month phase to include Community Burn Prevention (CBP), Basic Burn Care (BBC), ABC (Nursing) and ABC (Rehab).

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Preparation for the scoping visit which took place in April included seeking formal approval from the Ministry of Health and hospitals and liaising with NGOs, Resurge (Africa) and the Kings Global Health Partnership. The Choithram Memorial Hospital (CMH) ran a DAT assessment.
Gambia:
Interburns was invited to deliver EBC and CBP (ToT) in the Gambia in November 2025 as part of a larger surgical training mission organised by the UK NGO BFIRST.
3.The Middle East
United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Following successful delivery of ABC (Nursing) in 2023, an MoU between Interburns and Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), Abu Dhabi, was signed in October in which Interburns would provide technical support to SSMC and hospitals in the region with delivery of one ABC (Nursing) a year and one ABC (Surgery) or ABC (Rehab) every two years.
ABC (Surgery) was delivered in July to 21 plastic and general surgeons from 13 hospitals. Having been developed for low resource settings and delivered in Nepal in 2018 and Ethiopia in 2020, the course was revised to reflect the high resource setting and the national focus on preparing for regional mass casualty burn disasters. ISBI guidelines were also added to lectures along with UAE protocols where appropriate.
Feedback was extremely positive. Participants particularly valued the variety of expertise brought by faculty from the UK, US, Nepal, Tanzania, South Africa, New Zealand and the UAE.
Lebanon
Ongoing conflict in Lebanon since late 2023 resulted in large numbers of casualties, many with significant burn injuries. As fighting intensified from October 2024, and with only two privately run burn units in the country, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health asked Interburns to set up a new unit in the Turkish Hospital, Saida.
Following a scoping mission in October, a concept note was developed and funded for a six-month emergency response and consolidation programme that focussed on developing the Space, Stuff, Staff and Systems necessary for a functional, sustainable, burns unit.
A very high number of applicants responded to an emergency call for specialist burns staff to be deployed for periods of two weeks to three months and Interburns was able to operationalise the new unit rapidly. Staffed by an Interburns burns surgeon and nurse supported by rotating micro teams, and working alongside inexperienced local staff, key areas of focus were:
-
To produce a clear and effective strategy for consolidating the burns service, with an accompanying action plan.
-
Maintain the clinical team until the end of May 2025 to oversee the care of burns patients
-
Deliver training and capacity building to enable hand over to a newly appointed local team.
-
Procure and deliver essential equipment and supplies to resource the new burns service.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The team worked closely with other international NGOs, including MSF, UK-Med, NORWAC, MedGlobal and MAP, during the set-up of the hospital, but from the end of February 2025 Interburns was the only iNGO still present.
Training included on-the-job mentoring, formal lectures, the online EBC, and development of a new nursing competency handbook.
25 nurses, surgeons, therapists, anaesthetists and operational staff from 13 countries were deployed, some more than once. 192 surgical interventions were carried out and the team attended to 430 outpatient visits and managed 28 inpatients.
4.Europe
Interburns is the named training provider within the rescEU Emergency Management Training (EMT) Programme 2022-2026, a European Union-funded project to increase the capacity to respond to mass casualty burn disasters. The burns element of the project is managed by the Belgian Ministry of Health.
Following the long-awaited publication of the WHO Recommendations for Burns in Mass Casualty Disasters in December 2024, the scope of the burns element within rescEU was expanded to reflect the need for two types of burn team: Burn Assessment Team (BAT) and Burn Specialist Team (BST), the latter with the capacity to remain in country and carry out clinical work. The definition of training needs is under development for delivery in late 2025.
The UK currently does not currently have the capacity to respond to a mass casualty burn disaster. In partnership with UK Med, the NGO responsible for training and deployment of UK government’s Emergency Management Team (EMT), Interburns developed a concept note to train UK Burn Assessment Teams. This was submitted to the UK government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in late 2024.
5.Delivery Assessment Tool (DAT)
The DAT guides the burn multi-disciplinary team (MDT) through a process of annual self-assessment, highlighting gaps and strengths as part of ongoing quality improvement (QI). In response to the growing number of hospitals using the DAT as part of Interburns programmes, the review team was expanded and the process streamlined with the creation of a standardized review form. This is now included in the final DAT report to give staff and management clearer understanding of specific QI recommendations. The following hospitals completed DAT assessments during this period:
Nigeria
National Hospital, Abuja University College Hospital, Ibadan Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Abraka National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu

6.Quality Improvement (QI)
Quality Improvement (QI) in burn care underpins all Interburns work. One of three projects selected as part of a pilot for 12 months mentoring support after ABC(Nursing) Tanzania in 2023, resulted in tangible change in the unit. The project, ‘Improving fluid monitoring in the Paediatric Unit, Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital’, was presented at the ISBI conference in September and a paper drafted for submission.

Improvements to the scheme were put in place ahead of ABC(Nursing) Malawi to support participants avoid identified challenges, these include:
-
More time to explain the scheme in ABC(Nursing); development of a QI Participant Handbook.
-
Regular project review meetings requiring preparation and attendance.
-
Formal teaching sessions, followed by practical application.
-
Improved selection of projects.
-
More focus on identifying the problem and working to improve it.
A new group of mentors from Tanzania, Malawi and Ghana are providing support to these projects:
-
Procedural pain managing in burn patients at Bugando Medical Centre, Mwanza, Tanzania
-
Increase monitoring of fluids in burns units at Mzuzu Central Hospital, Malawi
-
Improving compliance to aseptic techniques during burn wound dressing among nurses at Zomba Central Hospital, Malawi
Steps are in place to include QI more formally as part of all Advanced Burn Care (ABC) trainings.

iii. Collaboration with Global Health Media
Interburns has been collaborating with a US NGO, Global Health Media (GHM), to develop a series of short films on managing burn injuries. The team has played a crucial role in helping GHM establish links with burn units in Nepal and Tanzania and has provided technical advice on the management of burn injuries.
Following a visit to Nepal in 2024, the GHM team visited the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH), Blantyre, Malawi in 2025. The series will be launched in 2025, the films are:
The depth of a burn Determining the size of a burn Escharotomy Giving fluids for a new burn Feeding a burn patient Dressing a burn Managing pain in patients with burns Improving scars from burns Preventing contractures Making splints to prevent contractures
iv. World Burns Week 4th-10th November 2024
World Burns Week is an initiative of the G4 Alliance Burns Working Group and aims to reduce disparity and increase global equity in burns through collaboration and advocacy. Interburns represents NGOs on the Steering Group, alongside representatives from multi-lateral burn associations.
The theme for the first World Burns Week was: Burns: Tackling the Hidden Global Health Crisis addressed through daily webinars by expert speakers on the topics: The Current State, Hidden Costs, Common Responsibility, Solutions and Commitments.
Interburns network was very well represented, giving the keynote speech at the launch event, and with presentations from Nepal, Ghana and Nigeria. Over 100 organisations endorsed the event and 95 countries were reached; many local events were organised. Work started on World Burns Week 2025 which will be held during the first week of November.
8.International Training Centres (ITCs)
Applications for the fellowship programme were put on hold pending the development of more detailed surgical, nursing and rehabilitation portfolios, clearer Terms of Reference (ToR) and renewed MoUs with International Training Centres (ITCs) in Nepal and Ghana. The fellowship programme was formally re-launched at the ISBI conference in August.
One nurse from Tanzania completed a fellowship at SKMH, Nepal.

9.New programmes
-
While ABC (Reconstruction) development progressed slowly, key principles were developed and a detailed five day timetable was finalised, with clear objectives for each session. A wide volunteer team will create case-based content for each session. Course delivery is estimated in early 2026.
-
The incidence of burn injuries goes up in conflict, both ‘weapon related’ and ‘domestic’ burns; many conflicts also occur in countries and regions where the pre-existing level of burn care is limited. Optimal patient outcomes are achieved when patients with burn injuries are treated by an experienced and well trained multi-disciplinary burn team. A concept note for ‘Burns in Conflict’ was developed and funded for delivery in late 2025.
10.Research
A research strategy discussed in December focused on a number of key elements including:
-
mentorship of research fellows undertaking project evaluations, and quantitative and qualitative data collection in collaboration with partner institutions
-
supporting publications by Interburns colleagues
-
developing a hosted burns Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) database for extracting and analysing burns MCIs globally
-
collating research and QI projects on a dedicated webpage
-
providing mentorship and guidance for primary data collection across projects
-
establishing Interburns on the REDcap database to facilitate data collection, storage and analysis
The group met in March 2025.
A BSc student was supervised through a dissertation on 'The scale, frequency and type of global burn mass casualty incidents: a literature review and media screen'. This was accepted for presentation at the British Burn Association (BBA) Conference in June 2025.
Plans were agreed for the supervison of research students linked to Interburns projects from collaborating institutions, including the Gillings School of Public Health, North Carolina, USA.

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. General information
Interburns Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 252 Cowbridge Road East, Cardiff CFS 1GZ.
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.
Interburns Limited 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 currency is sterling and amounts are rounded to the nearest pound (£).
2.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in prepariing the financial statements.
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.
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.
Training income is recognised in the period in which the service is provided with any amounts received in advance being deferred.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance 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 donations.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs relating to the furtherance of the charity's objectives as stated in the trustees report and their associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
2.5 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.
2.6 Taxation
The Charity 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 Charity 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
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 basis:
Computer equipment - 33%
2.8 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.
2.9 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.
2.10 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.
2.11 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.12 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.
2.13 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates 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 estimates 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.
2.14 Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
2.15 Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
