## **Annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 Notes on the accounts** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation and uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **1.1Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 January 2015) and the Companies Act 2006. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

## **1.2The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.** 

## **1.3Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis.** 

The trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern. 

## **1.4Change in the basis of accounting** 

There has been no change to the accounting policies (valuation rules and methods of accounting) since last year. 

## **1.5Income recognition policies** 

## **Recognition of incoming** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: **resources** 

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

- the trustees are sufficiently certain they will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured reliably. 

**Incoming resources** Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or **with related** contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported **expenditure** gross in the SoFA. **Grants and donations** Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. **Tax reclaims on** Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same **donations and gifts** time as the gift to which they relate. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been **performance related** delivered. **grants Gifts in kind** Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

**Annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 Notes on the accounts Accounting policies continued Income recognition policies continued Donated services and** These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent **facilities** amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material.  The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. 

**Volunteer help** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. **Investment income** This is included in the accounts when receivable. **Investment gains and** This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or **losses** loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 

**1.6Expenditure Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. **Grants with** Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a **performance conditions** specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. **Grants payable without** These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been **performance conditions** made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. 

1.7 **Assets Tangible fixed assets** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and **for use by charity** cost at least £500.  They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: Fixtures and Fittings - 20% straight line **Investments** Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end.  Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. **Stocks and work in** These are valued at the lower of cost or market value. **progress Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due. **Cash at bank and in** Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid **hand** investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. **Creditors and** Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present **provisions** obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
