Trustees’ Report. 1 April 2020 – 31 March 2021
It’s been an incredibly difficult year for all, and our lives have changed significantly as a result of the global pandemic. It was heart-breaking to experience the charity’s Education Centre so quiet, it’s usually bursting with life, laughter and enthusiastic energy but staying safe was the priority. Having to cancel all of our courses, workshops and events was an unenviable but necessary task, however all of our participants, supporters and clients were incredible throughout, and we really can’t thank them all enough for the support, patience and understanding shown during this difficult time.
Education
Despite the pandemic, we were pleased that Charlotte Daniels, who is one
of our Educational Grant recipients, was able to continue
working towards the Oxford Brookes, Masters in Primate Conservation remotely. Understandably, Charlotte had to overcome a number of challenges with this new way of working but she took it all in her stride, kept her head down and focused on her course and the task in hand.
We caught up with Charlotte mid-way through the year to find out how it was going. She said, “After what has felt like the longest 7 months, dealing with lockdowns, and working through a pandemic, I am finally back to university to start my final year of the MSc in Primate Conservation at Oxford Brookes University. Things are far from usual with restrictions still in place and some lessons
still online to facilitate teaching in the current climate”.
“Right now, I am working my way through two modules of the course, ‘People-primate interactions’ and ‘International legislation, humans and wildlife’. Both modules are being delivered face-to-face,
but everything is very surreal, with far fewer students, social distancing to adhere to and no option to work in groups and discuss the topics, course material and published research. Despite all the changes in place, I am excited for the rest of the academic year and looking forward to what’s ahead. I hope that through these difficult times you are all keeping
safe and well, and I am continually grateful of your support for the Jim Cronin Memorial Fund, which in turn has enabled me to study the Masters”

Education continued.
The wonders of technology! Despite the difficulties of this year, the charity took advantage of all forms of online teaching, whether it was via Zoom, Teams or Skype. We were able to deliver a number of educational talks and workshops during Lockdown in order to continue to meet the charity’s goals.
On behalf of the charity, Dr Alison Cronin MBE provided the Keynote speech online for the Keith Entwistle Memorial Lecture for Cambridge University Veterinary Society. Alison’s talk and presentation was very well received with over 150 people logged on and listening from all over the UK.
The CUVS (Cambridge University Veterinary Society) said after the talk “I would also like to say a massive thank you to yourself and Alison for arranging to do this talk for us - We have received such amazing and positive feedback, with everyone saying how interesting it was and how they simply loved Alison's passion throughout”
Whilst presenting talks and workshops online is not our preferred method of delivery, it was necessary under the circumstances. We were able to deliver multiple talks to a variety of colleges this way during the lockdown period.
Out of all of the talks and presentations that were provided during this time, the most memorable was for Oaklands College in St Albans. A one-hour presentation turned into a three-hour marathon and despite not being face to face with the students, their participation, enthusiasm, and desire to learn more about primate welfare & conservation was incredible
“I wanted to say a huge thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to support our students- they absolutely loved it! Thank you for sharing your passion and inspiring our students. We learnt so much and now are so excited to work with you again in the future. Thank you”
We are very much looking forward
to meeting their students finally in person and welcoming them to the Education Centre for a residential course when the world begins to turn again.
5
Education continued
Despite the repeated lockdowns, there were small windows of time where restrictions were temporarily lifted, and we were able to deliver a few, in person educational courses. Whilst yes, changes had to be made in order to adhere to the guidelines in place and keep everyone safe, being able to deliver these courses gave us all a much-needed boost and were thoroughly enjoyed by all
who attended.
One such course still able to go ahead with reduced numbers was our Primate Drawing course, led by the incredibly talented David Dancey -Wood. Although it wasn’t ideal to have to split this very popular and normally well attended course into multiple, smaller courses, with less participants, on this occasion it was not a negative as each of our participants received considerably more one-to-one tuition from the incredibly talented David Dancey-Wood.
6
Grants & Funding
Despite the world being on hold due to the pandemic, we continued to provide grants and funding for the benefit of primates in captivity; from the all-important hosing which ensures and enables primates in captivity to move around their enclosures in a natural way, to much needed equipment enabling primate carers and vets to accurately monitor the health and wellbeing of the primates in their care.
Hosing
A vital part of any primate enclosure is the items/furniture/enrichment provided which encourage and enable the individuals to express and display natural behaviour. Each primate has very specific needs when it comes to enclosure design and the critically endangered woolly monkeys at Monkey World are no exception. With multiple, large, indoor, and outdoor areas that needed new hosing, it was clear we were going to need literally thousands of metres of a very specific type of hose to ensure that these very precious monkeys had enough to keep them all busy swinging, climbing, and playing and using those fantastic prehensile tails.
Microscope and Centrifuge
The charity was pleased to be able to fund the purchase of some much needed, new equipment for the Monkey World veterinary hospital. Their old and very well used Microscope and Centrifuge had both reached the end of their lives and no amount of money would ever be able to fix them. By providing them with a brand new, all singing and dancing Vetlab Premier 250 Biological Microscope,
it has vastly improved their ability to accurately assess biological samples in house. Monkey World’s Vet Nurse Saffron said “We are now able to magnify samples up to x100 and use oil immersion to allow for detailed microscopic accuracy when looking for pathogens or cellular organisms”.
The new microscope has given the team at the park the opportunity to view commensal organisms within routine faecal samples and they are now able to accurately examine urine, blood, skin, and hair samples from all of the resident
primates at the park, without having to send the samples to an external laboratory. After discussing their needs in more detail, we decided to buy them an InSight Microscope Eyepiece Adapter for Smartphones which will allow them to easily photograph or video precisely what they see through the microscope lens without compromising the image quality, providing them with a time saving solution allowing
them to quickly and easily share the images directly to colleagues or the veterinarian for diagnosis.
7
Grants & Funding continued
Microscope and Centrifuge
The second piece of much needed equipment purchased for the Monkey World veterinary hospital was a Centrifuge. We asked Monkey World’s Vet Nurse Saffron to explain how this new piece of equipment would benefit the primates at the park. She said “The VetSpin Duo Veterinary Centrifuge, kindly donated to us by the Jim Cronin Memorial Fund, will allow us to run even more essential diagnostic tests in our in-house laboratory without the need to send samples to a third party”.
“Our previous centrifuge was very old, having been donated from a hospital many years ago. We were unable to run samples at high speeds or possess the correct rotor to run Packed Cell Volume (PCV) tests. PCV tests are vital and enable us to diagnose polycythaemia (abnormally high amount of red blood cells), dehydration or anaemia (abnormally low amount of red blood cells). This test only requires a small amount of blood which can be obtained easily as a result of the Primate Care Staff’s dedicated positive reinforcement training and provides valuable diagnostic information for the veterinary team without the need for anaesthesia. As well as being able to run PCV tests, the new Vet Spin Duo Centrifuge allows us to more accurately process faecal and urine samples, which are essential for assessing the health of the primates here at Monkey World. The VetSpin Duo Veterinary Centrifuge is an invaluable diagnostic tool and makes a welcome addition to our in-house diagnostic laboratory.”
Primate Flu Vaccines
While the whole world was focusing on ensuring that we had a vaccine for Covid 19, we were busy ensuring that we had the funding available and were able to source flu vaccines for the primates.
Understandably on this occasion, entering the primate areas to photograph and witness the primates receiving their all-important flu vaccine was not an option, we were very pleased to hear that this year’s primate flu vaccination program went incredibly well, with all primates receiving an appropriate dose ensuring that we had done the very best we could to ensure that the primates would at the very least be protected from the flu, which can be life threatening to a primate and especially to those who have already suffered so much abuse and neglect prior to being rescued.
8
Fundraising & Events
In between periods of lockdown and whilst still adhering to the rules and guidance in place, we were able to host two of our most popular events. Both the family camping sleepover event and the adult sleepover event were able to go ahead. With such a significant reduction to our usual numbers, it was somewhat quieter than usual, but as you can see from the images below, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended and provided the perfect pick me up after such a stressful few months. It was truly wonderful to witness so much joy and laughter during such difficult times.
9
Fundraising & Events continued.
For a number of our supporters, being at home as a result of lockdown gave them the time and opportunity to raise funds for the charity in their own unique ways. From Gaming to shaving, they did it all!
A special thank you must go to young Samuel. He set himself a target of running 300 laps around the big field by his local village hall.
Come rain or shine Samuel soldiered on, determined to raise
money for Primate Welfare & Conservation. Samuel completed his challenge and raised an incredible £620.
A massive thank you also to Karen, one of our supporters who decided to brave the shave! Karen raised an
incredible £381 for Primate Welfare and Conservation, and we think she looks great!
Congratulations must also go to young Aidan. Aidan decided that
he wanted to challenge himself to a gaming marathon and raise money for different causes.
He decided to raise money for the Jim Cronin Memorial Fund on his first attempt because Monkey World was one of his favourite places to go. Aidan said, “I think the work you do is amazing, and I hope any donations I get can help towards the great work you do”. Aidan raised a whopping £218.75 including Gift Aid. Over £118.00 above his target. Well Done!
By turning a lockdown activity into a fund raising opportunity, our supporters showed us just how much fighting for the rights of primates meant to them.
The charity continues to offer a variety of fundraising schemes for our supporters to get involved in, from our very popular Membership Scheme, to the various sponsorship opportunities available at the Education Centre.
Having to hit the pause button during this year on our many events, courses and workshops gave us some time to finally launch our Facebook page. Our Facebook page provides information on our work as well as covering activities and events held at the Education Centre. By combining both the corporate side of the business, which generates income for Primate Welfare and Conservation, with our incredible and dedicated supporters, we are confident that we will be able to spread our message further by encouraging our corporate clients not already involved in our work to become our next generation of supporters and members.
10
Fundraising & Events continued.
Despite the personal difficulties our supporters were facing as a result of Covid 19, they kept us going through some difficult days. Whether it was sending in cards with kind words of support or giving up their own time to donate their stunning paintings to the charity, we have been overwhelmed by their selfless acts of generosity.
We are incredibly fortunate to have some seriously talented artists who love and support Primate Welfare & Conservation as much as we do and who generously donated original artwork for our “In it to win it” Prize Draw. Thank you so much to Tom Lomax and Rebecca Sherlaw-Johnson who donated original pastel artwork and an original watercolour painting which made up the first ten prizes in this year’s Prize Draw which raised over £2600.00.
11
Despite the challenges that this year has brought, we are pleased to report that we are holding our own, it hasn’t been easy, but we have kept our heads down and focused on our work. Currently, we are finalising the funding for the rescue and transportation of a number of primates, from both the UK and abroad. The pandemic has understandably had a serious impact on our ability to physically move some of the primates who are out there in need of our help, but we are ready to do what needs to be done at the very first opportunity possible.
Whilst there is no doubt that for the next year at least, we will continue to face difficulties, we are somewhat reassured that vaccines for Covid 19 are now available. At the current time just over 31million people in the UK have received their first dose. We are hopeful for the future and very much looking forward to getting the Education Centre properly back up and running and continuing with our Primate Welfare & Conservation work across the globe.

Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

THE JIM CRONIN MEMORIAL FUND FOR PRIMATE WELFARE AND CONSERVATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JIM CRONIN MEMORIAL FUND FOR PRIMATE WELFARE AND CONSERVATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Jim Cronin Memorial Fund for Primate Welfare and Conservation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the 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, 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 charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 charity 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 charity’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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JIM CRONIN MEMORIAL FUND FOR PRIMATE WELFARE AND CONSERVATION
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' r eport, which includes the d irectors ' r eport prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the d irectors ' r eport included within the Trustees' r eport has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the d irectors ' r eport included within the Trustees' r eport.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the 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; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies ' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' r eport and from the requirement to prepare a s trategic r eport.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the s tatement of Trustees' r esponsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 charity’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.
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 .

THE JIM CRONIN MEMORIAL FUND FOR PRIMATE WELFARE AND CONSERVATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JIM CRONIN MEMORIAL FUND FOR PRIMATE WELFARE AND CONSERVATION
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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 engagement partner 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.
-
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 Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation .
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management.
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 .
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations .
Audit response to risks identified
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 .
-
tested a sample of BACS payments to identify payments being made to unexpected bank accounts.
-
performed transactional testing on payroll costs in respect of those employees with responsibility or authority in connection with the payroll function.
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias .
-
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 .
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims .
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

THE JIM CRONIN MEMORIAL FUND FOR PRIMATE WELFARE AND CONSERVATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Jim Cronin Memorial Fund for Primate Welfare and Conservation is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Hethfelton House, Hethfelton, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 6HS.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
These financial statements are separate charity financial statements for The Jim Cronin Memorial Fund. No consolidation has taken place, in line with Section 399 of the Companies Act 2006.
1.2 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 future , even in light of Covid-19 . Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
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 donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Rental income is recognised on an accruals basis.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is directly allocated to a cost category.
Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes those costs incurred in the governance of the charitable company's assets and general running of the charity and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity in which the expenditure was incurred.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings Not depreciated Plant and equipment 6.66% straight line Infrastructure 6.66% to 20% straight line Outdoor furniture 12.5% straight line Fixtures and fittings 6.66% to 20% straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .
Properties whose fair value can be measured reliably are held under the revaluation model and are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of valuation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value of the land and buildings is usually considered to be their market value.
Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other recognised gains and losses and accumulated in equity, except to the extent that a revaluation gain reverses a revaluation loss previously recognised in net income/(expenditure) or a revaluation loss exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains recognised in equity ; such gains and loss are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year .
1.7 Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.

1.8 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
1.9 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .
1.10 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell . Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition .
Cost is calculated using the FIFO method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.11 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.12 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 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 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.

(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations 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 charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
2 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.
