Poor families are eligible for grants if they are able to provide confirmation of poverty or hardship, which is based on their area of residence, state of accommodation (if any), employment or income levels and number of dependents.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

THE SHADE TRUST had secured funds from public donors and grant makers for their activities totalling £763,573 during the year which was a substantial increase from the previous year (£177,372). This was mainly due to the profile increasing of the charity and more charities recognising our grassroots projects working directly with the needy persons in India who gave grants totalling £723,514. The grants and donations were a combination of Zakaat, Sadaqah, Lillah, Gift Aid, Interest and Fidya money. During the year, the charity was able to deliver the projects for grant makers and had a total expenditure of £761,833. Of this, £751,881 were grants for charitable activities. This generated a surplus of £1,740 which will be added to the reserves for future charitable expenditure. The charity had unrestricted reserves of £11,971 at the end of the year, of which the charity intends to retain £10,000 for administration costs. The charity maintains a 100% donation policy for all non-Lillah funds and only uses Lillah funds to cover shortfall in Gift Aid income during the year to cover administration costs.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Future plans are to continue to run the Orphan Sponsorship project to cater for the needs of orphans. The charity also intends to support the poor and needy with direct support for their necessities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD TO 31 MARCH 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and with the Charities Act 2011. Prior year basis of accounting was on a Receipts and Payments basis as was allowed for unincorporated charities with an income under £500,000. The basis has changed for this period due to the income exceeding £500,000.

The new accounting policies are relevant to the size and nature of the charity's income for the period.

The change in accounting policy has only resulted in minor non-material differences arising. As such no requirement to restate prior or current year figures has arisen.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

b) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of any of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose and the restriction means that the funds can only be used for specific projects or activities.

c) Incoming resources

Voluntary income, including donations, gifts and legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature, are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions. Grant income included in this category provides funding to support programme activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

d) Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Funding provided through contractual agreements and performance related grants are recognised as goods or services are supplied. Other grant payments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that results in the payment being an unavoidable commitment.

Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
