Message From Our Chair of Trustees
All praise be to Allah, Assalaamu alaykum (peace be upon you),
Dear supporters of Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre,
As we come to the close of another year, I am filled with deep gratitude to Allah (SWT) for allowing us to continue our journey together at Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre. Reflecting on 2024, I am humbled by the dedication, resilience, and unwavering spirit shown by our community. It has been a year of growth, reflection, and a renewed commitment to our core purpose: to inspire, educate, and serve.
Alhamdulillah, our Masjid has remained the heart of the community, not just as a place of prayer but as a space where people of all ages come together to find connection, guidance, and support. Our daily prayers, Friday sermons, and Ramadan activities have continued to strengthen the spiritual fabric of our congregation. Ramadan, as always, was a special time—bringing us together in worship, reflection, and community spirit, with thousands attending Taraweeh, Suhoor, and Iftar.
Our outreach has grown stronger, both locally and globally. Through programmes like Taskforce GLM, we’ve provided essential aid to those facing hardship around the world. Here at home, initiatives such as The Pantry have supported families in need, embodying the values of compassion and solidarity that lie at the heart of our faith. Our Dawah and educational programmes have flourished, offering opportunities for learning and personal growth to people from all walks of life.
One of the greatest blessings has been witnessing the enthusiasm of our youth. Through vibrant activities, sports programmes, and Islamic learning sessions, we are nurturing the next generation of leaders—young people who are confident in their identity and grounded in Islamic values.
None of this would have been possible without the tireless efforts of our dedicated staff, volunteers, and the continued support of our congregation. Your commitment, generosity, and du’as are the foundation of everything we achieve at GLMCC. I am deeply thankful to each and every one of you.
As we look ahead to 2025, we remain focused on our mission: to inspire hearts towards faith, to educate minds with knowledge, and to serve our community with compassion. May Allah (SWT) accept our efforts, bless our work, and keep us united in His service.
Mohammed Saeed Mohammed Saeed, Chair

Home to a diverse community, our mission at GLMCC is simply Islam, to inspire, educate, and serve the people.

Strategic report
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
A detailed review of the activities performed during the year can be found in the annual report on pages 1 to 44.
b. How our activities deliver public benefit
The Trustees routinely review the activities of Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre (GLMCC) to ensure they continue to reflect the objectives and aims of the charity and provide an overall benefit to the public. In carrying out this review the Trustees continue to consider the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.
Our main activities and who we try to help are described in the annual report on pages 1 to 44.
c. Key performance indicators
The consolidated Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 December 2024 shows group incoming resources of £5,380,031 (2023: £5,004,003) and group resources expended of £5,048,978 (2023: £4,794,851), generating a surplus of income over expenditure of £401,483 (2023: £226,512) after recognising gains on revaluation of investment property of £70,430 (2023: £17,360). As a result, GLMCC’s group net assets have increased from £5,657,397 as at 31 December 2023 to £6,058,880 as at 31 December 2024.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre recognises the importance of having reserves. These funds are freely available to spend on any of the charity's purposes and hence exclude restricted funds. They will be used to mitigate significant falls in income or to take advantage of new opportunities.
Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre faces a number of risks that may result in the need to use the charity's reserves. Some of these include:
-
Reduction in donations from congregation / members of the public.
-
Unexpected refurbishment costs in relation to the listed building from which the charity operates.
-
External factors impacting the charity, such as National Living Wage increases or increasing utility bills.

Trustees' report (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2024
Reserves are represented by the fund balances as disclosed in the Group balance sheet included within these financial statements.
The Group balance sheet shows unrestricted reserves (reserves that do not carry any restrictions on how they can be used) of £5,029,448 as at 31 December 2024 (2023: £4,655,275). In assessing our level of free reserves as 31 December 2024 we also exclude unrestricted fixed assets totalling £1,723,320 (2023: £1,835,135), unrestricted investment properties totalling £963,100 (2023: £892,670) and unrestricted investments totalling £98,000 (2023: £198,000). This leaves free reserves of £2,245,028 as at 31 December 2024 (2023: free reserves totalling £1,729,470).
Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre has set its reserves at approximately four months operational expenditure. It is the Trustees view that this amount means the charity has a balanced approach between having funds available to run the charity on a day-to-day basis and keeping funds aside in case any of the risks mentioned above materialise the Trustees also believe this level of reserves provides the charity with adequate financial stability and the means to meet its charitable objectives for the future.
As at 31 December 2024 the charity’s free reserves equated to approximately 8 months unrestricted expenditure which is in excess of the charity’s target of having its free reserves at approximately four months operational expenditure.The level of reserves will be reviewed annually to ensure alignment with risks the charity faces.
c. Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board of Trustees has responsibility for ensuring that there are effective risk management and systems of internal control in place to manage the charitable company and group’s major risks and support the achievement of our strategic objectives.
The principal risks to the charitable company and group’s objectives and how these are managed is set out below.
Risk – financial performance and sustainability
Risk concerning financial performance and sustainability includes any significant reduction in fundraising income due to economic conditions. These risks undermining our ability to meet the needs of our users and to meet our strategic aims.
Risk concerning financial performance and sustainability is managed by the holding of the appropriate level of reserves and a regular review of charity reserves to ensure these remain within the target set by the Trustees. Senior management and the Trustees also regularly review and scrutinise the charitable company’s and group’s short and medium-term financial position.
Risk – safeguarding of vulnerable and young people
Risk concerning the safeguarding of vulnerable and young people includes negligence in relation to safeguarding policies or when practice results in or contributes to serious harm or injury to a young person or vulnerable adult and damages GLMCC’s reputation.
Risk concerning the safeguarding of vulnerable and young people is managed by safeguarding training for all employees working directly with vulnerable and young people.
Risk – information security
Risk concerning information security includes serious data protection or security failure which may result in legal and contractual issues, reputational damage and potential fines and loss of income.

Trustees' report (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2024
Risk concerning information security is managed by having a structure in place for Data Protection Act (DPA) monitoring and compliance and by the routine testing of IT systems to identify any security weaknesses.

Plans for future periods
Our vision for the future is simple – to inspire the Islamic faith into the hearts of people.
We intend to expand, improve and develop on all of our current services, programmes and activities. Our focus is to educate, inspire and serve which will help us bridge gaps, increase understanding and tolerance and improve community relations.
At the present time there are many unknown variables which makes forecasting the future results and impact on the charitable company and group very difficult. The Trustees recognise that the current situation is uncertain but they have considered the position of the charitable group both at present and for the future given the current information available.
The Trustees have considered the various income streams of the charitable company and group, anticipated costs, future cash flows and the various options available to them. There is no intention for the charitable group to cease activity.
We look forward to developing our structure, services and activities in 2024 by the permission of Allah SWT. We thank Allah (swt) followed by the congregation, our donors, partners and the wider community for their support and look forward to the same spirit of co-operation in the coming year.
Members' liability

Trustees' report (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2024
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report including the Strategic report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Charity and of their incoming resources and application of resources, including their income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group and the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Charity balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 Group's or the parent 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre (continued)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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. 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 course of 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.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' report including the Strategic report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
the Trustees' report and the Strategic report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our 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 Trustees' report including the Strategic report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, 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 Group's and the parent 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 Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre (continued)
Auditor's 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 an Auditor's report 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the senior statutory auditor ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the charity sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the financial reporting legislation, Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, anti-bribery, employment, and environmental and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in Note 3 were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company’s legal advisors.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre (continued)
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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 Auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
1. General information
Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre (GLMCC) is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in the United Kingdom and is registered in England and Wales. Its company and charity registered numbers and registered office are shown on the Charity information page of these financial statements. Its principal activity is detailed in the trustees’ report.
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.
Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre 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 Consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of financial activities in these financial statements.
2.2 Company status
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.
2.3 Going concern
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus they have concluded that it is reasonable to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
2.4 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.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Income (continued)
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as holding cash on deposit and the letting of rooms for hire. It includes interest and rent. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and rent income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
2.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once 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 between 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 raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
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.
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 and reducing balance method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
| Leasehold improvements | - | 4% | straight line |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | - | 10% | straight line |
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 15% | reducing balance |
| Computer equipment | - | 15% | reducing balance |
2.8 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Consolidated statement of financial activities.
2.9 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.
2.10 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. Accounting policies (continued)
2.11 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.
2.12 Financial instruments
The Group 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.
2.13 Pensions
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year.
2.14 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 Group 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 Group 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.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Critical areas of judgment:
Depreciation
The Trustees have reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed asset classes and have concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriate given the activities of the charity.
Income and expenditure allocation
Income and expenditure incurred by the charity is apportioned where it relates to more than one category
