Programme, a remarkable collaboration with the Caribbean and African Health Network (CAHN) and four other
esteemed organisations. This initiative underscores our commitment to enhancing health outcomes within our

The programme, which initially started as a ￿0-year pilol, involved virtual weekly sessions conducted by
qualified General Practitioners (GPS) and health specialists. Each session delved into various health topics,
ranging from managing chronic illnesses and mental health to nutrition and preventative medicine.
RAFFA'S pivotal role in this initiative was to raise awareness about these valuable sessions. Through our
extensive networks and tireless advocacy, we ensured Ihat thousands of individuals across the country were
informed about and engaged with this programme. Our concerted efforts in community education and outreach
led to a significanl increase in participation, equipping people with the crucial knowledge required to take
proactive steps towards their health and wellbeing.
The preventative nature of this project cannot be overstated. By educating individuals on preventative heallh
measures, we aimed to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases, alleviate long-term healthcare pressLJres,
and enhance overall quality of life. Participants received timely information on early detection of potential health
issues, lifestyle modifications needed lo prevent disease onset, and the importance of regular health check-
ups.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - contlnued
Fund accounting
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial
statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charilable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contribulions payable to
the charitable company's pension scheme are charged lo the Statement of Financial Activities in the
period to which they relate.
Flnancial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments, and Section
12 '0ther Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 10210 all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements,
when there is a legally enforceable right to sel 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.
Basic financlal assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at the
transaction price including transaction Costs and are subsequently carried al amortised cost using the
effective interest melhod unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the
transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted al a market rate of
interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Classlflcation of financlal Ilabilitie8
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classrfied according lo the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in
the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Baslc financlal Ilablllties
Basic financial liabilities. including creditors, loans and are initially recognised at the transaction price
unless the arrangement conslilutes a financing Iransaction, where the debt instrument is measured at
the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities
classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for good5 or services that have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is
due within one year or less. If nol, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are
initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation thal the
charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The
validity of this assumption is on the basis that the charity will conlinue to be supported by The Church
of God of Prophecy and the congregation. Thus the trustees continue lo adopt the going concern basis
of accounting in preparing the financial stalements.
