The trustees are pleased to present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019). 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity, which is a company limited by guarantee, is controlled by its governing document, its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 23 March 2009. 

## **Organisational structure** 

GL11 Community Project is an incorporated charity limited by guarantee. The charity is run by a board of trustees who delegate the day-to-day operations of the charity to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who reports to the board as defined in the Constitution. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** 

Trustees are appointed from within the community to meet the requirements of skills and diversity. Trustees attend 2 board meetings as observers before appointment and may then be co-opted as trustees. All trustees are then appointed at the AGM. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

## **Public benefit** 

In planning the charity's activities for the period, the trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The focus of the charity's activities during the period, is set out below. 

## **Mission, objectives and activities** 

The objective of GL11 Community Project (now known as GL11 Community Hub) is the promotion of urban and rural regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation and in particular the GL11 postcode area which covers Cam and Dursley and outlying communities. In response to the changing needs of our community, in April 2023 we reviewed our Vision and Values which have been amended as follows: 

Our Values: 

Listen. Look for Strengths. Act as if it is possible. Be kind and have fun. Be Brave. 

Our Vision: 

A connected, kind and can-do community in GL11 and surrounding areas.

## **GL11 Community Project Ltd** 

## **Report of the trustees** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## Achieved by: 

- Creating a safe and supportive community space enabling friendship, bravery, learning and growth; and 

- Working with communities and partners to achieve equal access to good quality of services for everyone in Gloucestershire. 

## **Activities** 

The after effects of Covid and the ongoing impact of the Cost of Living crunch continue to reverberate through our community. Our new vision encompasses both our traditional community based activities and support services, as well as developing an incubator approach, to grow and test community solutions that can then influence and support changes to address inequalities within systems. 

## Our activities: 

1. Creating a safe and supportive community space enabling friendship, bravery, learning and growth by providing: 

   - Courses in recreational and vocational subjects; 

   - Wellbeing courses and support; 

   - Mental Health counselling, health coaching and support; 

   - Employment support and money advice; 

   - Volunteering opportunities; 

   - Family and parenting support and activities; 

   - Activities for children and young people; 

   - Activities, events and outings for adults of all ages and abilities; 

   - Community Café; 

   - Foodbank and Food Pantry; 

   - Room hire to partner organisations; and 

   - Support development of local hubs across Stroud District. 

2. Working with communities and partners to achieve equal access to good quality of services for everyone in Gloucestershire by: 

   - Embedding Community Action Groups across GL11 activities and services; 

   - Developing community solutions; 

   - Pilot projects to trial community solutions; and 

   - Action research and dissemination of findings. 

At GL11 we believe we are always stronger together; our welcoming community hub is a place where we can all belong, have fun, and shape the future of our community. 

We focus on building relationships with local people that lead to practical, community solutions. By working side by side, we strengthen connections, solve challenges, and create change that starts small but grows big. 

We are committed to shaping the system and bridging the gap between grassroots action and wider transformation. When people feel safe, connected, and valued, they don't just change their communities, they change the system itself.

## **Report of the trustees** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

We have refined our communications strategy, agreed on: 

## **“** _**GL11 - A place to belong, a hub for action.**_ **”** 

- Home from Home - A safe and welcoming space where we can all belong, have fun, and make a difference together. 

- Community Solutions - Our superpower is our adaptability. Rooted in trusted relationships, we create change that grows from the ground up. 

- Shaping Systems - We bridge the gap between community-led action and systems transformation, proving that when people feel safe, connected, and valued - real change happens. 

During this reporting period, GL11 Community Hub achieved notable successes across multiple areas. Our programme activities experienced strong participation including 563 individuals new to courses and 12 newly introduced courses, all of which received positive feedback. 

Volunteer contributions were robust, totalling 643 hours, with three new volunteers joining our community.

|**1st April 2024- 31st March 2025**|221|1,407|



Our community-focused initiatives showed substantial impact: the Community Outreach & Local Delivery (COLD) programme served 741 meals, averaging 82 meals per session. Additionally, our money advice sessions saw 49 visits, with 59% of users accessing the service for the first time. 

Between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025, GL11’s food pantry - open every Wednesday to coincide with our Cost of Living Day and again on Fridays - was accessed 1,407 times by 221 individuals. This represents a 48% increase in pantry shopping slots used compared to the previous year (2023-2024). 

These figures do not include the success of our Christmas hampers initiative, during which many individuals used the pantry to collect essential items along with festive treats, further highlighting the vital role the pantry plays in supporting our community year-round. The data for the Christmas hamper pantry can be found below.

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Family Fun Day** 

Our June Family Fun Day was a resounding success, welcoming around 300 visitors despite challenging weather conditions, including wind and hail. Thanks to meticulous planning and coordination. The farmer themed approach proved effective, with the front-and-centre tractor attraction drawing plenty of attention. Free themed tattoos were a well-received alternative to a face painter, and the day offered strong team-building opportunities for staff and volunteers. 

Families particularly enjoyed the “Farmers Games,” where children could play three games for just £1, and the Teddy stand was a crowd favourite. The event was well advertised and widely appreciated, showcasing the strength of our community engagement. 

## **Christmas Activities and Build your own Hamper** 

For Christmas 2024, we took a fresh approach by evolving our traditional hamper offering. Instead of pre-prepared hampers, we introduced a "Build Your Own Hamper" initiative, giving participants more choice and ownership over what they received. We opened two evenings to be more accessible to those that work in the day. 

As part of this initiative: 

- 132 individuals accessed a free "Build Your Own Hamper" space; 

- An additional 57 people opted to purchase a hamper at a subsidized cost of £4; and 

- In total, 189 hampers were distributed - an increase from 145 hampers the previous year, representing a 30% year-on-year growth. 

Our data also indicates that the ‘Build Your Own Hamper’ initiative successfully engaged 21 individuals who were new to GL11, demonstrating its effectiveness in reaching previously unengaged members of the community.

## **Report of the trustees** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

We had 7 Christmas themed meals for volunteers and local residents. One of these Christmas themed meals was our Christmas community lunch where we had 48 seniors attend which saw each person have a 3 course Christmas dinner. 

Feedback from both staff and service users was overwhelmingly positive. We collected service user feedback via a dedicated board on the day, and responses were 100% positive and appreciative. Comments included words such as “ _amazing_ ,” “ _fantastic_ ,” and “ _I’m so proud to be part of GL11_ ” reflecting the enthusiasm and gratitude felt by the service users. 

## **Support for mental health and wellbeing** 

The SMILE Community Action Group (CAG) has continued to advance its mission of fostering compassionate and inclusive communities for individuals with Serious Mental Illness (SMI). Recent activities have centred on empowering both community members and GL11 staff to provide effective mental health support while maintaining their own well-being. Training has been developed along with our peer volunteers on the difference between mental health and mental illness, the impact of stigma, common myths associated with mental illness, spotting signs, supporting oneself and others, safeguarding, treatment options, and signposting; peer member’s personal story of managing mental health issues and what our GL11 service does to support individuals. Our project lead and peer volunteers will deliver this training package. We also launched new signposting guidance on our website, offering comprehensive resources to support individuals in crisis. To further this accessibility, we have designed wallet-sized crisis cards, which were distributed at the recent GL11 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and available at the GL11 reception. 

To further support the SMILE CAG’s initiatives, we have partnered with MIND’s Mental Health Work Commitment to ensure a safe and supportive environment at GL11. We are also collaborating with SMART Recovery and Ara Recovery for All to highlight the link between addiction and mental health. Ara Recovery for All will provide additional training on gambling addiction awareness for adults and youths and host drop-in sessions with our GL11 café. 

Families benefited significantly from targeted programmes: Messy Mondays saw participation from 260 individuals, including 19 new families, and our Friday sessions engaged 325 participants, with seven new families joining. The October half-term activities reached 58 children, eight of whom were new attendees. 

As part of ongoing commitment to supporting families, we offered a drop-in session specifically for parents of neurodivergent children. Following the success of the drop-in, we launched a dedicated support programme timed to coincide with our free creche to improve accessibility. 

The work has not only provided practical support but also created a vital space for connection, learning and empowerment for families. 

“ _I'm loving the fact I'm being heard and believed. I'm learning along the way each week and finding support from other parents so helpful. I feel I'm starting to build my own support network and that has been fantastic. Thanks for GL11 and this group in particular, I have found the confidence to keep pushing and things are starting to look brighter in our lives because of it._ ” 

We have partnered with Talk Club, a weekly peer support group for men. We have also become a host for Dad’s matter who provide monthly group for Dad’s and their children.

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

We have coordinated exercise groups for people over 60 to meet, get moving and make connections with others. The groups have been highly popular with up to 25 people attending each week. The group has received fantastic feedback with participants noting an increase in their abilities, “ _I’m more confident in climbing the stairs now._ ” 

Our Counselling and Health and wellbeing service, in partnership with the Primary Care Network, continues to provide high quality support to local residents. 

Outcomes for the year show: 

- 85% Improvement in symptoms of low mood; 

- 83% Improvement in symptoms of anxiety; and 

- 76% Improvement in wellbeing. 

## **DiversiTEA** 

Adults with learning disabilities and older adults actively engaged in tailored services, with Explorers attracting 206 attendances and Feet Food and Friendship welcoming 133 attendees. The Diversity sessions drew 105 visitors over four sessions, demonstrating strong ongoing engagement.

## **Report of the trustees** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Blood Pressure Project** 

The Community Engagement initiative was designed to raise awareness of hypertension and provide essential blood pressure checks at local community events, with the following objectives: 

- Increase Blood Pressure recordings for the unknown or no recording group. Data for the BVPCN suggested Males between 30-50 were to target; 

- Increase our understanding and trial solutions to the barriers to people getting regular blood pressure checks or engaging in effective treatment; 

- Empower individuals to steer their own self-management of their blood pressure - raising awareness of the importance of doing so; 

- Increase in engagement of process for effective pharmaceutical treatment where indicated - increase treatment to target rate; and 

- Making connections with people who otherwise wouldn’t visit GL11 and using effective signposting to improve their wellbeing by connecting them to other services - reducing health inequalities and providing support within the 84% of factors that impact someone’s health and wellbeing that is found outside of clinical care. 

The project utilised community staff and one clinical lead and worked within the approach below 

- Non-clinical environment - BP readings were taken at community bumping spaces, local events and clubs/activities. This provided more accessible BP support and also reduced “white coat syndrome”; 

- Non-clinical staff - removal of clinician/patient roles and perceived power imbalance. The project utilised GL11’s already trusted name. The recruitment process was values based and the team consisted of community members who wanted to contribute to shaping the project. Training focus was around building relationships and engaging people in a strength-based way. Recording cards were reviewed to remove clinical language and judgements, again increasing accessibility and removing any blame; 

- Strengths based and non-judgemental - people carry internal judgement around their health behaviours. By understanding the wide range of factors that can impact people’s health, we can engage people by building on their strengths; 

- Collaboration - by utilising a coaching approach, people co-designed any next steps they wished to take in the recording or treating of hypertension. People were also encouraged to provide feedback regarding the project and to join into one of our focus groups; and 

- Integration into wider wellbeing support - signposting into other GL11 services - food and fuel poverty, money and employment advice, housing support, making connections with others, reducing loneliness and isolation. The team engaged with attendees, offering blood pressure checks and sharing important health information in a non-judgmental approach. 

We achieved an impressive 93% follow-up rate. This proactive approach not only provided critical health support but also contributed to timely medical intervention for those at significant risk. Overall, the project has been a resounding success, fostering both community engagement and improved health outcomes.

## **Organisational Review** 

GL11 Community Hub has implemented significant structural changes within our Senior Leadership Team (SLT). Our previous CEO retired, and we now have Lisa Wilson as our Interim CEO. Recognising the need for enhanced strategic direction and robust oversight, we created the new roles of Head of Incubate & Develop, Head of Delivery, Head of Connect & Nourish, and Head of Governance & HR. 

## **Future Plans** 

## **Saturday opening** 

Following the success of our National Lottery-funded Open Day in March, where we opened on a Saturday and welcomed over 70 visitors, we identified a significant opportunity to engage with a broader section of the community. Feedback from participants indicated that weekday work commitments (Monday to Friday) were a key barrier to previous engagement. 

In response, GL11 will begin opening on Saturdays from August 9th, operating from 9:00am to 1:00pm. During the initial period, we will offer a variety of courses, events, and activities aimed at attracting both new and existing service users. The outcomes from the first 2 months of this will help guide what our Saturday openings look like in the future to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our community.

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Pilot Chronic Pain project** 

A Chronic Pain project is due to launch this summer in partnership with the Primary Care Network, NHS Integrated Care Board, GL11 and Active Gloucestershire. The project provides a holistic approach to living with chronic pain. 

## **Community Action Groups** 

During this period of societal uncertainty, we look forward to building upon hyper-local relationships, demonstrating the power of people and place to create a more equitable future for our communities. 

## **Financial review** 

During the year to 31 March 2025, income increased by 15% to £995,114 (2024: £868,110), driven predominantly by an increase in grants and donations. Donations represent the principal funding source of the charity, with 92% (2024: 94%) of all income arising from donations, including grants. In the current year there were three (2024: two) grants received in excess of £100,000, from Berkeley Vale Primary Care Network, Big Lottery Fund and UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). The amount raised through smaller donations of less than £5,000 reduced to £78,008 (2024: £80,025). Expenditure increased by 19% to £1,035,783 (2024: £867,654), due to cost of living increases, as well as increased delivery, reflecting the increasing demand for support within the community. This resulted in a net expenditure of £40,669 for the year (2024: net income of £456), and total charity funds at the year end of £497,405 (2024: £538,074). 

## **Reserves policy** 

At 31 March 2025, of the total charity funds of £497,405 (2024: £538,074), there were restricted funds of £222,284 (2024: £283,079), and designated funds of £58,857 (2024: £58,537). In 2024 the board decided to update its designated funds such that its operating reserve and building maintenance fund is now contained within the general funds of the charity. The designated funds comprise the fixed asset fund, equalling the balance of unrestricted fixed assets on the balance sheet, which will be spent in line with the depreciation on these fixed assets. 

The board have carried out risk assessments and developed the reserves policy, allocating sufficient funds required to cover anticipated future costs. The board determined that the general reserves of the charity should be between 3 and 6 months’ operating expenditure to ensure the continuation of service delivery and staffing in an uncertain funding environment and be able to fund building maintenance as it arises. 

At 31 March 2025 the general reserves of the charity were £216,264, which represents approximately 5 months’ of operating expenditure. Therefore, the current level of reserves is in line with the reserves policy. As the organisational turnover increases the board are continually reviewing the level of reserves required and implementing practical measures to ensure that these are maintained in line with policy.

## **GL11 Community Project Ltd** 

## **Report of the trustees** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees** 

The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with 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). 

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 income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the applicable charities SORP; 

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- ▪ state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice 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 charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. 

## **Independent examiners** 

Godfrey Wilson Limited were re-appointed as independent examiners to the charitable company during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

## **Independent examiner's report** 

## **To the trustees of** 

## **GL11 Community Project Ltd** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of GL11 Community Project Ltd (the charitable company) for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 14 to 33. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the charitable company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- (3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- (4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **GL11 Community Project Ltd** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

**1. Accounting policies** 

- **a) General information and basis of preparation** 

GL11 Community Project Ltd is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is Fairmead, Cam, Dursley, Gloucestershire, GL11 5JS. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

GL11 Community Project Ltd 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 notes. 

## **b) Going concern basis of accounting** 

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charitable company is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **c) Income** 

Income is recognised when the charitable company has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charitable company 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. 

Earned income received in advance of provision of goods or services is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

## **d) Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charitable company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

## **e) Funds accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charitable company. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charitable company which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charitable company's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charitable company.

## **GL11 Community Project Ltd** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **g) Grants payable** 

Grants which have been authorised and paid are included as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities. Grants which have been authorised but not yet paid are accrued in the balance sheet and are included within creditors falling due within one year or after one year (as appropriate). 

## **h) Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the basis of proportional staff costs: 

|vities on the basis of proportional staff costs:|||
|---|---|---|
||**2025**|2024|
|Raising funds|**3.3%**|3.9%|
|Charitable activities - community|**82.9%**|86.6%|
|Charitable activities - outreach|**13.8%**|9.5%|



## **i) Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows: 

|Leasehold improvements|Straight line over the life of the lease|
|---|---|
|Equipment|15 years straight line|
|Computer equipment|3 years straight line|



Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000. 

## **j) 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. 

## **k) Current asset investments** 

Current asset investments consist of balances held on short term deposit in interest bearing accounts, with a maturity date between 3 and 12 months. 

19 



## **GL11 Community Project Ltd** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

**1. Accounting policies (continued) l) 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. 

## **m) Creditors** 

Creditors 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **n) Financial instruments** 

The charitable company 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. 

## **o) Pension costs** 

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA. 

## **p) Accounting estimates and key judgements** 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below. 

## **Depreciation** 

As described in note 1(i) to the financial statements, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. Depreciation rates in operation during the current and prior period are detailed in note 1(i).
