Public benefit

We review our aims, objectives, and activities each year. This review looks at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous twelve months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits of raising awareness of domestic abuse and violence through the provision of information and training. The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focused. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities, thus ensuring that it continues in its purpose to provide information and support to individuals and children who are affected by domestic abuse.

The key to our success is 'true engagement' with our service users and a 'passion' for always putting their interests first. This success is built on the rapport that the organisation's staff establishes with service users and underpins its whole ethos.

We are a specialist domestic abuse service, providing life-saving support to thousands of families affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence, across Wales. We meet survivors' needs and have expert knowledge and experience in working with those who are or have experienced violence and abuse which are often multifaceted and insidious. We can provide a package of needs led support for those experiencing domestic abuse but also survivors and their families escaping domestic abuse and sexual violence. We do this by delivering community-based outreach and floating support services with specialist staff that have skills and expertise in these issues, as well as emergency refuge provision. We provide safety awareness planning and support including housing, health and legal matters that help individuals to recover from abuse and to achieve true independence now and in the future.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities REFUGE

During the year 2024-2025, we received 28 referrals for women seeking refuge space, we were able to accommodate 17 women and 13 children who were referred to us in Llanelli. Where we are unable to offer space within Llanelli refuge, we look for space in an alternative refuge, if appropriate.

Risk and needs assessments are carried out and the family is supported to settle into refuge. Whilst in the refuge women are supported and encouraged to develop independent living skills and build up their self-esteem and confidence. Each woman's needs are unique, and she will be supported in line with her own needs assessment through a support plan using SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time specific) goal. The achievements are monitored regularly and acknowledged. This could involve accompanying her to see solicitors, doctors, probation officers, social workers, advocacy etc ..

Expertly trained members of staff will carry out various training including life skills such as budgeting, healthy eating, menu planning, sexual health, plus many more structured and directional activities to help in her self-development and to live independently. Threshold also continued to deliver the Freedom Programme online and or in person. We also offer a wide range of qualifications, accredited units and modules to those living in our refuge.

COMMUNITY FLOATING SUPPORT

During the year 2024-25 we received 383 referrals for long term and one-off floating Support within Threshold DAS Limited, and we supported 142 individuals and 701 referrals county wide of which 40 were from males and 3 nonbinary. Each service user has a needs assessment, and, from this, a support plan is formulated and agreed. Threshold received 314 referrals for outreach. The support can cover a variety of issues including housing, benefits, debts, legal, health and children's issues. A referral can be made to one of our Children and Young Person's projects should the child or young person need more specialist support.

The service user can be signposted to appropriate agencies, for example education, police and social services, etc. The Floating Support Project is a county wide project in Carmarthenshire between Galan DVS, Carmarthen Domestic Abuse Services Limited and Threshold DAS Limited, and is managed by Threshold DAS Limited and overseen by a steering group.

IDVA Project - Disseminated via Calan DVS Lead from Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner OPCC The main purpose of independent domestic violence advisors (IDVA) is to address the safety of victims at high risk of harm from intimate partners, ex-partners or family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. In February 2024 we found out that the IDVA contract had been extended for another year.

EARLY FAMILY INTERVENTION PROJECT (EFIP)

THRESHOLD DAS LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

THRESHOLD DAS Limited believes that the E-FIP project can have had a significant impact in helping to break the cycle of domestic abuse and/or violence, and those affected by it. We recognise that domestic abuse and/or violence is a multi-faceted problem so we strive to equip individuals and their children with the skills they require now, and in the future, in order that they can live independent, productive lives.

As part of this, we know that we must deliver not only support to victims of domestic abuse and/or violence but also challenge and change the behaviours of perpetrators, to ultimately keep individuals and their children safe.

The first step towards ending family violence is for the victims and their children to be able to engage with practitioners they can trust and whom they can confide in. For our profession to remain effective in our work with these vulnerable individuals and their children it is essential that we provide culturally and gender-sensitive skills, which is what E-FIP does.

We believe there is a need to approach domestic abuse and/or violence in a more comprehensive and co rdinated way, and to place greater emphasis on preventive and early intervention strategies. E-FIP includes our "Choices" Perpetrator Programme accredited by RESPECT.

VAWDASV CARMARTHENSHIRE PARTNERS: CHOICES

Threshold DAS currently receive £120,000 pe year to fund the 'CHOICES' element of our Early Family Intervention project for the Dyfed-Powys region, which has enabled the continuation between funding elements.

The programme has maintained a steady approach to supporting the region, taking referrals from as far afield as Milford Haven to Newtown, and from both individuals self-referring as well as NGO's and statutory organisations.

DASH PROJECT (DOMESTIC ABUSE STOPS HERE)

In April 2024 - March 2025: 75 referrals for support were received for the Families First - 'Domestic Abuse Stops Here' project in Llanelli for CYP and 66 referrals for adults. The DASH Project is a county wide project in Carmarthenshire between Calan DVS, Carmarthen Domestic Abuse Services limited and Threshold DAS limited.

68 Children were supported 66 Adults were supported, 64 Families were supported in total.

Referrals are received from many partnership agencies.

The project supports children who have witnessed or experienced domestic abuse in the home environment. The support comprises one to one support or sibling / peer group support for children aged between O - 16 years, undertaken mainly in school. The support is age and ability appropriate for the child and their development needs. The project predominantly helps in the intervention process of families experiencing domestic abuse and works closely with the T earn Around the Family (TAF) coordinators.

PROJECT Y - NATIONAL LOTTERY COMMUNITY FUND WALES

'Project Y - the Young People Matter' Programme is a programme of support for children and young people living in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.

'PROJECT Y - Young People Matter' Programme enables both children and young people, those who have experienced abuse themselves and those who are experiencing abuse, to address multiple and complex needs within one place. This includes children and young people with substance dependency, those who are self-harming, have suicidal thoughts, individuals with substance or alcohol misuse issues, and those with families experiencing these problems of this nature. Statistics illustrate the correlations between domestic abuse and substance misuse.

Children and young people supported by PROJECT Y have experienced domestic abuse in their family relationships and their own relationships with their girlfriends and boyfriends. Living with domestic abuse behind closed doors often causes children and young people to be closed about their experiences, to put their needs on hold as not to cause more friction' or receive an aggressive response. Most of the children and young people on support with Threshold, have some level of anxiety, some high enough for them not to want to go to school, causing problems eating and sleeping. They can have tummy or chest pain from internalizing their fe lings. They can withdraw or act out with anger or confusion. These children and young people are less likely to be able to concentrate in school, make friends, and have the confidence to join clubs, fe l safe enough to experience things such as play and relationships which help move through developmental stages. Children experience bedwetting and nightmares. They may have to move home, change schools, losing friends, maybe pets, and the loss of a parent which can be hard to come to terms with. When a child feels they have not been loved in the way they see others loved, they can develop the idea there is something wrong with them; they were to blame.

The funding for Project Y, has allowed us to provide parents with the support that they need to have a better relationship with their child. We have been able to work with children and young people who have behavioural issues, often because of their own experienced of abuse. These children and young people often have issues with emotion regulation and with the help of our project we have been able to show them how to better regulate their feelings and reactions. The children and young people have directly benefited from this, as many of them have reported to us, that they do not like it when they behave in an aggressive way. However, many of them have never learned an alternative way to react to stressful or unsettling situations. We feel we have be n able to support children and young people to become more resilient and therefore better at coping with their issues. Staff receive feedback from parents to share their fe lings of the changes in their children.

The method of individualised support that we offer, rather than a one size fits all approach means we can build effective relationships with children and young people based on mutual trust, respect and honesty, through which vulnerable children and young people begin to feel more valued, respected and confident in themselves.

SHARED PROSPERITY

Education is for everyone and there is a range of options for anyone who is considering their 'next step' in life, at any time.

Whether individuals need to learn new skills, update existing skills, or find a new direction, there is support available. That is the ethos behind the Programme of support offered under Shared Prosperity Funding: Leveling Up Fund. The areas and programme we delivered in include the following:

A range of support is available, with the emphasis on 'it is never too late to learn something new'.

THE PROGRAMMES are delivered through individually structured elements that offer tailored and individualised support to individuals, if they are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse. The two elements are:

  1. An online learning Moodie Portal 'THE LIFE YOU WANT, offering training and accredited learning and qualifications.

  2. Delivery in a classr m setting, or online using Teams or Zoom, offering, training, job searches and Agored Cymru qualifications but also employability support.

The courses on offer are accredited qualifications and are mapped to qualifications at Award Level and above and recognised by the Qualifications in Wales regulating body.

The online portal offers a clear, accessible point of access to enable individuals to receive bespoke and tailored support. All those who engaged with the programme worked with highly experienced tutors, to develop a specifically tailored Individual Training Plan (ITP) prioritising key issues, attaining achievable short/long-term goals, developing new employability skills as well as exploring opportunities to develop their confidence, resilience, and transferable skills.

The project also offers in-depth support with job searches and living skills.

The training facility provides a range of interactive online learning courses from Entry-Level to Level 4 available any time through broadband internet access, for those who wish to learn at their own pace.

Our learning portal was developed to enhance opportunities for individuals including further benefit from our expanding IT Digital Library which offers the loaning of equipment such as laptops, tablets and dongles.

We must ensure people have equality in accessing quality training that enables them to develop skills to succeed in life. Skills they need to grow to keep pace with the demands of the labour market. This is critical to securing our economic recovery and ensuring local communities and the people in it are key players in that recovery.

- We can accommodate different learning and assessment styles.

Education

Digital Inequality

Education staff had recognised additional hurdles considering the COVID 19 pandemic in terms of digital inequality; many participants did not have the necessary technology to engage in distance/ digital learning. Many were solely reliant on smartphones and/or tablets and did not possess or have access to desktop computers, printers, or scanners. We were successful in achieving funding from several sources including Welsh Government, The Home Office, and The Police Commissioner to purchase IT equipment including Laptops, Tablets, Mobile Dongles and Data to allow us to offer a lending library of IT equipment for service users receiving support from Threshold DAS Limited.

Development of Specialist Sector Specific {VAWDASV) Qualification with Agored Cymru

This period saw the development of the Award and Extended Award Qualifications in Volunteering in the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Sector. Fully recognised as a qualification by Agored Cymru and mapped to the Qualification Wales framework, it was not delivered as anticipated in this period. The qualification consists of sensitive content that is potentially triggering and likely to be intellectually discomforting. The topics covered in this qualification include domestic abuse, domestic homicide, sexual violence, FGM, forced marriage etc - all subjects that require trigger warnings. It, therefore, was decided to postpone this until dassroom delivery (or at the very least, blended learning) was available. We are currently exploring a level 2 extended award and also a Level 3.

lnvesbnent policy and objectives

The only investments made by the Charity are cash deposits in a bank/building society account.

Reserves policy

The reserves policy is reviewed annually and is based on our Business Risk Management process. We look at the various financial risks such as loss in major funding streams, loss of key staff members, delays in receiving funding or gaps where projects do not dovetail financially yet staff need to be maintained. We also analysed the non-financial risks which could affect our operations, health and safety issues and risks to reputation and any changes.

The level of reserves which have been assessed to be prudent for the forthcoming year are remain within the range of £523,866 and £1,047,731 making this stable and in line with the anticipated annual budget of the organisation. This would enable us to cover a range of costs in line with the 2025-6 budget for a period of between 3 and 6 months (minimum) and to safeguard any cashflow issues in the 12-month period due to retrospective funding claims which have become more prevalent in the last few years. This would be made up of potential redundancies and staff salaries up to 6 months of around £168,567 other project costs, overheads, and potential loss of income (due to political and economic uncertainty) up to 6 months of £779,164, plus a contingency element of up to £100,000. With our current free unrestricted reserves at £607,502 we are only £83,636 over the lower end of where we should be able to navigate any future setbacks which could affect ours, and the wider community's, financial position.

We have therefore designated unrestricted funds of our current available free unrestricted reserves of £607,502 for the purchase and refurbishment of the new premises ,which are in our plans, of £195,000. A further £55,000 is also being designated to cover any salaries we feel may need to be covered to keep on staff between project funding being made available to us. This will be under strict review.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Going concern

Our position regarding a Going Concern is further reinforced by new funding streams and projects being identified and successfully funded. We have gone from strength to strength and have already secured extra funding to continue the diversified projects we have already established in the previous period. Further funding has been secured because of new relationships being developed during the Covid crisis and beyond, particularly in relation to crime prevention commissioners, agencies and the improving commitments from central and local government, and in particular our education programmes.

Since the successful completion of many European Funded projects for education, Welsh Government has committed to securing the future of existing projects with the Shared Prosperity levelling up funding which is looking extremely positive. At this point in time there are projects covering Carmarthenshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Caerphilly in the pipeline and continuing commitments from our existing partners and supporters.

Although there is some concern around the political and economic climate due to the elections here and in the US, these new projects do appear to reinforce each party's manifestos in one way or another particularly regarding education and mental health which all lead into the fitness for work requirement.

These education projects are in fine with our prevention of poverty by lifting those who have been disempowered by domestic abuse situations into an elevated position of independence and sense of future, which further impacts on the next generation. The government's commitment to this process gives confidence to our organisation that we can continue and grow ourselves.

FUTURE PLANS & ASPIRATIONS

At Threshold Das Limited, our vision for the future is grounded in the belief that every individual has the right to live free from fear and abuse. We aspire to expand our services to reach more survivors across our communities, offering not only immediate safety and support but also long-term pathways to healing, independence, and empowerment. But to also work with perpetrators of Domestic Abuse to keep victims and their children safer but to also allow perpetrators to change their lives for themselves and their families.

Through strengthened partnerships, continued advocacy, and investment in trauma-informed approaches, we aim to influence systemic change and help build a community where domestic abuse is no longer tolerated.

Our future is one of hope, resilience, and unwavering commitment to those we serve.

The past financial year has seen changes in the way in which we operate and will continue to operate in the future. As part of our broadening and expansion strategy laid out in our business plan, we will continue to further develop our work with families, earty Intervention work, including men who are alleged perpetrators, and victims, in a bespoke approach to the problems we face with domestic abuse and sexual violence. We have successfully secured three years of funding for the Choices Perpetrator programme to continue, along with some partnership work with two other charities and one private sector company.

This year has seen us achieved the new 'RESPECT' accreditation for the work we do with alleged domestic abuse perpetrators through our 'Choices' perpetrator programme. We are also exploring further working with female perpetrators.

As well as the CHOICES Perpetrator programme we have also designed and developed the ARC Programme. We deliver two programmes under ARC, namely 'Momentum' and 'Activate'.

We are also looking to increase awareness of LGTBQ+ domestic abuse and/or violence and make our organisation and services more approachable for the LGTBQ+ community. We also see the needs for additional support for and working with older people experiencing domestic abuse.

Other projects that are part of our business plan that we are actively seeking funding for include:

21 John Street

One of the charity's properties, located at 21 John Street, has been temporarily vacated following storm damage sustained in October 2024.

The storm caused damp-related issues, including damage to the roof and water infiltration, rendering the premises unsuitable for use.

As a precautionary measure, operations previously conducted at this location have been temporarily relocated to another property owned by the charity. The affected property has not been in use since 16 October 2024 and is currently subject to an ongoing insurance claim to address the damage.

Following a review of the charity's property portfolio and operational needs, the Trustees are considering the sale of the damaged property once the insurance process is complete and all necessary assessments have been made.

The Trustees will continue to monitor the situation and ensure that any decisions made are in the best interests of the charity and its beneficiaries.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THRESHOLD DAS LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Threshold DAS Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the 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 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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. 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:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THRESHOLD DAS LIMITED

Responsibilities of truste s

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the 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 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We discussed our audit independence complying with the Revised Ethical Standard 2024 with the engagement team members whilst planning the audit and continually monitored our independence throughout the process.

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

Audit response to risks identified

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations;

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going Concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable Mure. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

Income

Donations and legacies are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Rents are included when receivable and are shown net of void periods.

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. VI/here costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have be n allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost - Fixtures and fittings 15% on cost Computer equipment - 20% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

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 charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charities activities.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the company 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 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.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

lmpainnent of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through the statement of financial activities, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exc d what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, 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 goods 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 not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
