| c) | Going concern | ||||||||||
| There are no material uncertainties about the chadity's ability to continue. |
|||||||||||
| Judgements and key sources ofestimation uncertainty |
|||||||||||
| The preparation ofthe financial statements requires the trustees lo make |
judgements, estimates |
and assumptions that affect the |
|||||||||
| amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based |
on experience | and other factors, including | |||||||||
| expectations offuture events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
|||||||||||
| e) | Incoming resources | ||||||||||
| Planned giving and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds |
are recognised when the refund |
is received. | Interest is | ||||||||
| recognised when it is received. All incoming resources are accounted for |
gross. | ||||||||||
| Resources expended | |||||||||||
| Grants and donations to the partner organisation in Mozambique are accounted for when awarded |
ifthat | award | creates | a | bindmg or | ||||||
| constructive obligation on the chadity. All other expenditure including governance costs and |
attributable | VAT is | accounted | for gross. | |||||||
| g) | Volunteer help The value of voluntary help received is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities but is |
described | in the trustees' | annual | |||||||
| report. | |||||||||||
| Governance costs' | |||||||||||
| These can include the costs ofpreparation and examination offinancial accounts, the cost oftrustee meetings |

| Financial Instruments |
|||||||||||

| Unrestricted Funds are general funds which can be used at the discretion |
ofthe trustees for |
any purpose | which | is within | the objectives | ||||||
| ofthe charity. | |||||||||||
| Designated funds are funds set aside by a decision ofthe trustees out of |
unrestricted general funds for specific |
purposes | or projects. | ||||||||
| Restricted funds represent donations received for a specific object, project or purpose. The funds |
may | be expended only |
|||||||||
| for the specific object, project or purpose for which they were given. Any |
balance remaining |
unspent at | the | end ofa | |||||||
| financial year is required to be carried forward as a balance on that fund. | It is not the normal | practice of | the trustees to | ||||||||
| invest separalely for each restricted fund. Any mterest generated by holding these funds is very small |
and | no allocation | of | ||||||||
| mterest received is made to restdicted funds. |
