Accounting Policies

For the year ended 31 December 2024

1 Accounting policies

Accounting Convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with: a) the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008); b) the Companies Act 2006

The financial statements are prepared on the accruals basis with simple recognition of any debtors and creditors outstanding at year end.

Going Concern

The company's income is mainly derived from grants, donations and self-generated sources. The trustees believe that this support will continue and the accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.

Income Recognition

Income is recognised when the company has a contractual or other right to its receipt. Income with conditions attached to its receipt is recognised when the company had fulfilled those conditions.

Incoming Resources

Incoming resources are the amounts derived from the provision of charitable services, the receipt of gifts, subscriptions and grants falling within the charity's ordinary activities and are shown net of VAT where applicable.

Unrestricted Funds

Unrestricted funds are funds received which have no restrictions placed on their use and are available as general funds.

Voluntary Income

Voluntary income received by way of donations and gifts is included in full when received.

Trustee Remuneration

In 2024, the following payments were made to trustees for consultancy and training services:

Trustee Total paid in year Consultancy Services Training Services
Fiona Clarke £15,490 £5,370 £10,120
David Rycroft £7,309 £6,510 £799

These payments are made with the approval of the independent Trustees in quarterly meetings and in accordance with the following provisions in MwH’s Memorandum and Articles:

from MWH Memorandum and articles

  1. (9) to employ and remunerate such staff as are necessary for carrying out the work of the charity. The charity may employ or remunerate a director only to the extent it is permitted to do so by article 6 and provided it complies with the conditions in that article;

  2. None of the income or property of the charity may be paid or transferred directly or indirectly by way of dividend bonus or otherwise by way of profit to any member of the charity. This does not prevent a member who is not also a director receiving:

  3. (3) (b) reasonable and proper remuneration for any goods or services supplied to the charity.

In accordance with our memorandum and articles:

Two trustees , who are also skilled trainers, receive payment for the separate and essential training services they provide to the charity. These training programmes are integral to MWH’s mission and objectives, building well-being and relationship skills in young people and educators.

These trainings generate vital income that supports the charity’s mission by:

  1. allowing us to fairly compensate the trainers for their professional services, which ensures the quality and continuity of our training offerings.

  2. helping to cover the core operational costs of the charity, enabling us to continue our work. The dual role of trustees as trainers is carefully managed to maintain a clear distinction between their voluntary trustee duties and their compensated training work, ensuring compliance with relevant governance standards.

Similarly the CEO is compensated for ½ day per week of her work in managing the charity. The charity’s goal is to gradually move towards full compensation for this role over the coming years, dependent on the continued growth of income from trainings and grants. The charity and CEO maintain a clear distinction between the ½ day paid work as CEO and her voluntary trustee duties.
