Institute of Health Visiting Trustee’s Report For the year ended 31 March 2023
1. Report from the Chair and Chief Executive
The Board presents its annual report together with the accounts of the Institute of Health Visiting (iHV) for the year ended 31 March 2023. The last year has been a historical milestone for the Institute as we celebrated our 10[th] anniversary as an organisation.
Since our launch as a centre of excellence for health visiting on 28 November 2012, there is so much to celebrate at this important time in our organisation’s growth. Every week, thousands and thousands of families are supported by health visitors across the UK. The profession has a history that spans more than 150 years. During this time, health visitors have adapted their work to address the most pressing public health challenges of the day and the needs of the communities they serve. In many ways, the current landscape of change is no different - adapting to change is in our profession’s DNA. As we look back over the last ten years, the commitment and innovation that health visitors have shown has been awe-inspiring during some of the most challenging times. Now, as we navigate the wake of the pandemic and a cost-of-living crisis, it is clear that health visitors are needed more than ever, in a world where inequalities are widening, and public health challenges pose the biggest threats to the nation’s health.
In addition to this report, the iHV published its public-facing Annual Report in December 2022 which provides an overview of our work that has been delivered by the iHV team and in collaboration with so many partner organisations, practitioners and parents. The achievements are testament to the hard work, clear vision and dedication of so many who have played their part in building the Institute into the successful organisation that it is today.
The golden thread that unites us is our shared belief that health visitors really do make a difference alongside a dogged determination to improve the health of babies, children, families and communities; this is woven through each year of our organisation’s history and will continue to guide us into the future. The Institute remains in a strong position, we have a seat at the table in multiple national stakeholder forums, and we have grown our partnerships this year, with numerous high-profile reports and endorsements for the profession.
Our work remains focused on supporting our growing membership through resources, events and training. We also lead a range of projects, and partner in research focused on key public health priorities. We continue to engage with our members and other stakeholders throughout the year to identify the current opportunities and challenges facing the profession. This frontline practitioner intelligence has provided valuable data on the state of child health and the health visiting profession across the UK that we have shared with policymakers in numerous national forums.
Whilst the profession faces significant challenges, particularly in England where there are now 40% fewer health visitors compared to 2015, practitioners have risen to the challenges to support as many families as possible. This year, Unicef UK recognised the vital work of health visitors in their “Early Moments Matter” campaign, describing the profession as “The backbone of the early years… a safety-net around all families”.
Influencing policies affecting health lies at the heart of health visiting and our work at the iHV. We know that we cannot do this alone. Throughout the year we have actively sought to build new alliances and strengthen well established ones. We are indebted to so many partner organisations, parents and practitioners who have supported our work to demonstrate the value of an effective health visiting service, with benefits accruing to the NHS, primary care, education and social care.
This annual report looks back at our performance and the progress that we have made in the last year. We are proud of the Institute and how the team has innovated and led on health visiting policy and practice, drawing on the best evidence to develop new and improved ways to support health visitors, promote inclusion and reduce health inequalities for babies, children and families.
Our organisation remains in a strong position to address the challenges we now face as we look to ensure that every child has the ‘best life from the start’, regardless of where they live, and to rebuild a health visiting service fit for the future. We are extremely grateful to our supporters, members, funders and friends. This coupled with the energy and expertise of our staff, expert advisers, consultants and trustees makes the iHV the effective organisation that it is. We thank them for their ongoing support.

Events are collaborative and co-chaired by service managers and practitioners and are well attended by participants from all UK nations. The group has engaged with the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC) and has strengthened alliances with other professional bodies.

oMembership of the Steering Committee for the follow up ‘Healthy Start, Happy Start’ study by Professor Paul Ramchandani, University of Cambridge. -
Training:
-
Our iHV PIMH Champions programmes provide an infrastructure to support this work and we are delighted that we have now trained 4,013 PIMH Champions across the UK from a range of professions working alongside mothers and their families in the perinatal period.
-
Our PIMH training remains our most sought-after training and this year we have focused on further updating the training programmes to ensure that they contain the latest evidence and align with the ever-changing policy context.
-
In collaboration with Lucy Warwick-Guasp, we developed a new training programme for 'People who identify as LGBTQI+ and PMH Champion Training'.
-
Our regular PIMH Forums continue to attract good interest, hosted by each UK nation and culminating in our “All Areas Champion Celebration” in December where we were able to celebrate many of our amazing Champions. The iHV Specialist Health Visitor in PIMH Group has also grown significantly in the last year.
-
Our 4th Annual iHV PIMH Conference was held online on 15 June and attracted over 230 delegates who explored the subject of ‘Early Trauma and the Art of Repair’.
VI. Corporate team:
Membership: The iHV relies on its unrestricted income from member donations to support the delivery of its charitable objectives - collectively, this accounts for around 25% of our annual income. Despite the enormous challenges facing the health visiting profession, our membership has increased by 32% since March 2022. We have enjoyed a significant growth in our corporate membership – with a smaller but still significant growth in individual memberships.
Meeting the needs of our members remains a priority. We engage regularly with our members through iHV Networking events, iHV Insights events, monthly iHV Times newsletter, our Health Visitor Advisory Forum and annual survey. In December 2022, we launched our iHV Podcasts to provoke discussion on key topics. Our growing suite of resources for members, including our Good Practice Points, Parent Tips, web-based resources and publications, remain popular. We also regularly promote the work of our members through Voices blogs and news stories.
We charge a modest fee for iHV membership to support our ambition that all health visitors will become members. We have not increased our individual membership fees for many years and we deferred an increase last year due to the rising cost of living, inflationary pressures and significant workforce challenges.
Conferences:
Our conferences attract growing numbers of delegates and we have delivered three successful conferences as well as our celebratory 10[th] Anniversary Event this year. We were delighted to be able to move some of these events back to ‘in-person’ or hybrid events, following COVID restrictions since 2020:

Sue brings a wealth of experience and skills from her background as a Chief Nurse and in charity work. Sue’s appointment was unanimously approved by the Board in April 2023.
In January 2022, our Treasurer Sue Gallone stepped down at short notice due to a change in her personal circumstances; following an open recruitment process Christina Lui was welcomed as our new Honorary Treasurer following the Board’s approval on 20 April 2022. We also welcomed the return of Prof Dame Sarah Cowley as a Trustee in October 2022 following a break of one year after she reached the maximum term in her role as one of the iHV’s first trustees.
Following her appointment on the iHV staff team, Sharin Baldwin stepped down from her position as Trustee at the April Board meeting prior to taking up her post as Senior Research Fellow at the iHV in July.
Governance: The CEO is supported by the Senior Management Team (SMT) who generally meet monthly to review organisational performance, governance and risks in the Governance meeting, with escalation of urgent matters to the Trustees between Board meetings. In March, the SMT consolidated their February and March meetings into an ‘awayday’ to support business planning which is built on the key priorities identified by the Board of Trustees at their awayday in October. The Business Plan is presented to the Board in April for final approval, alongside the updated risk log and mitigations.
Policies and procedures: To support governance, the iHV has a range of policies that are reviewed on a regular basis, and/ or updated in response to changes to national policy. This year we have reviewed and updated the following policies and alerted staff to the changes:
-
Finance policies: Ethical collaboration, Spending, Remuneration, Expenses, Expenses for external contractors, and Procurement.
-
HR policies: Annual leave, Guidance note on zero hours contracts, Maternity, and Sickness.
-
Safeguarding: Adult safeguarding, and Child safeguarding.
-
Safety and ethical policies: Sustainability, Health and Safety, H&S Home worker risk assessment, Information governance, Provision of Education and Training (review in progress).
Financial systems and IT upgrade: During August our Corporate administrative team reviewed and cleansed our entire salesforce database to ensure that we remain compliant with GDPR. This is scheduled annually with smaller 3 monthly reviews during the year. We have continued with our programme to rationalise our IT systems and software packages to reduce duplication and improve interoperability, including the effective synchronisation between Salesforce, Wordpress and Moodle for iHV Learn. Our use of Xero online accounting software, introduced last year, has brought numerous benefits, improving governance and supporting better invoicing and debt management. Our accountancy support is provided by the independent accountants, JS2.
Sustainability: We are committed to play our part in improving environmental sustainability. This year, we reviewed and updated our Sustainability Policy and set out four key business objectives that are included in our Business Plan for 2023/24.
Partnerships: The Institute is independent of, but has benefited from, close working relations with the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) which continues to provide the Institute with back-office support. The Institute pays the RSPH a small honorarium for this support and use of their London meeting rooms when

Staffing of the Institute
Our staff play a crucial part in delivering the iHV Mission. The Institute is a growing organisation with 28 members of staff employed on a range of permanent and temporary contracts to meet our core business, training and project work. This year we have seen some staff changes as two long-standing members of the team retired, one went on maternity leave and two members of our corporate team left the organisation. We have welcomed five new members of staff to our team and have been pleased by the calibre of applicants.
All staff have personal objectives aligned to the iHV annual Business Plan and these are reviewed regularly through an ongoing Personal Development Review process. In addition, the iHV employs individuals as independent consultants and trainers, as needed, to support programmes of work.
Supporting staff wellbeing remains a priority. Our senior management team is working well - the ‘Head of’ departments are actively involved in financial and workforce forecasting and planning for their teams, to provide better oversight and management of workflow, workload and risks. Staff are also supported through regular 1:1s, monthly team meetings, smaller team meetings and our annual team awayday in the summer. This year, we reviewed our employee benefits and non-pay rewards, and the Board has increased the annual leave entitlement for staff who have worked for the iHV for more than two years (5 days pro rata).

Institute of Health Visiting Trustee’s Report For the year ended 31 March 2023
Quality assurance: Quality underpins all that the iHV does. All projects have a project governance group chaired by either the CEO or a Trustee. This year we have further developed our Quality Assurance processes, Quality Assurance toolkit and Ethical Collaborations Policy to guide our work.
Risks: We have clear processes in place for risk management to ensure that risks are identified, managed and escalated to the iHV Board in a timely way to support business continuity and quality control. Each department undertakes ongoing risk assessments to identify and mitigate risks, escalating these through the iHV Governance group (the Heads of Department are responsible for managing their department risks and these are graded and recorded on their monthly departmental score cards). Risks are also recorded on the organisation’s risk register. Risks are formally reviewed by the Senior Management Team in the monthly iHV Governance Group and quarterly by the Board (or more frequently by exception) to support organisational decision making and risk mitigation.
The three main areas of risk are:
Financial risks – there is an on-going risk that the iHV could fail to attract sufficient income to maintain its core functions and staff costs, especially with a recent expansion to the staff numbers. In addition, due to uncertainties around inflation, there is a risk that workstream/ programme requirements may extend beyond the costed deliverables, leading to rising costs in excess of the indicative budget.
Mitigation: The Chair and Treasurer meet regularly with the CEO, who has the responsibility to generate income and ensure sustainable funding. Our income streams are as diversified as possible to spread the risk and the iHV has healthy reserves. Accounts are monitored closely through monthly management accounts. All Heads of Department have sight of budgets. All teams use project management skills to manage costs, time and quality, with MoSCoW prioritisation. Business planning is managed through our bi-monthly Business Development Group, and we have an internal bid writing team to maximise success. Inflation poses an ongoing threat for pay and non-pay costs. Our inflationary pay award is based on affordability and is mapped against similar charities/ CPI figure and projected inflation. We use fixed term contracts for any additional staffing for specific projects, using consultancy by exception due to inflated costs. Our fees are reviewed regularly to ensure they cover our costs. We have clear processes in place for financial governance/ sign off – and use Xero finance management system to track invoices, income and expenditure.
Quality/ Reputational risks – there is the risk that staff, or those representing the iHV, inadvertently misrepresent the charity which could damage the reputation of the organisation. There is also a risk that iHV products/ website are not of the desired quality or contain out of date/ inaccurate information.
Mitigations: Careful staff recruitment, PDR, training and performance management processes are in place to ensure that all iHV staff have the necessary skills and capabilities to represent the organisations and ensure iHV outputs comply with our Quality Assurance processes, including agreed levels of senior management ‘sign-off’. Any incidents are recorded, and an action plan developed, including sharing the learning with the wider team through the Governance and Professional meetings (fortunately, these are very rare).
Staff wellbeing: There is a risk that iHV workload may exceed staffing capacity, and staff wellbeing may be impacted by the wider impacts of the cost-of-living crisis – as a result, there is a risk that staff wellbeing will be affected which will impact on staff sickness, iHV delivery with reputational and financial risks.
Mitigations: Continuous workflow mapping and planning is undertaken by the Heads of Departments in all teams, with proactive recruitment to cover work and avoid excessive workloads, particularly when new contracts are achieved. Business continuity planning is in place and staff are trained to ensure that there is adequate cover for all roles to cover unexpected staff losses. We also use a pool of zero-hour contract staff for cover as required and utilise staff from other departments to fill temporary gaps. Staff wellbeing is reviewed at individual 1:1s with line managers and we support team wellbeing through our annual 2-day ‘Awaydays’, flexible working policy and signposting to additional support where needed.

Financial Review
The Institute has finished the year in a better position than expected with a surplus of £164,195 (2022: £186,009). Our total income has decreased from £1,575,756 in 2021/22 to £1,563,939 in 2022/23. This increase on prior year is due to an increased uptake in corporate memberships and larger number of training sessions/increased interest in online training sessions.
Expenditure in the year also increased to £1,399,744 (2022: £1,389,747) due to increased consultancy spend on restricted projects along with increased staffing costs.
Reserves policy and going concern
In assessing the overall level of reserves, the Board aims at all times to maintain sufficient unrestricted funds to ensure it remains solvent going forward, this includes at least 6-month’s running costs.
The Institute currently holds total reserves of £1,146,697 (2022: £982,472) of which £971,476 (2022: £760,674) are free reserves (unrestricted funds). This equates to approximately 7 months standard running costs. The Institute has designated £150,000 to use to replace its website and improve interoperability between its numerous IT systems commencing in 2023/24. This will support us to achieve sustainability for future years.

Institute of Health Visiting Trustee’s Report For the year ended 31 March 2023
The Trustees have reviewed the charity’s financial position, taking into account current performance, the ongoing economic challenges, the satisfactory levels of reserves and cash at year end and projections. They have considered future plans, along with internal processes and systems for managing financial and operational risks. As a result, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources and infrastructure to continue operating for the foreseeable future.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors 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 (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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They 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.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
-
There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware;
-
and The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make sure they are aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning the future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities and grant making will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. The Trustees consider the current policy for grant making and the current activities deliver public benefit. Details of the objects which form the basis of this are given in this report.
Auditors
Our auditors CT have now completed their third audit on behalf of the charity.
This report of the Board of Trustees has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

Institute of Health Visiting Independent Auditor’s Report For the year ended 31 March 2023
Independent auditor’s report to the members of Institute of Health Visiting
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Institute of Health Visiting for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is 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).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2023, and of the charitable company’s net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Institute of Health Visiting Independent Auditor’s Report For the year ended 31 March 2023
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report (which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the directors' report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 17, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the charitable company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. This included but was not limited to the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

Institute of Health Visiting Independent Auditor’s Report For the year ended 31 March 2023
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion.
We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the charitable company's financial statements. Our tests included, but were not limited to:
-
agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
enquiries of the trustees;
-
review of minutes of board meetings throughout the period; and
-
obtaining an understanding of the control environment in monitoring compliance with laws and regulations.
There are inherent limitations in an audit of financial statements and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2023
1 Accounting policies
a) Basis 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 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) 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 or note.
The trustees consider that there are no significant areas of estimation or judgement.
b) Public benefit entity
The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
c) Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
The Trustees have reviewed the charity’s financial position, taking into account current performance, the satisfactory levels of reserves and cash at year end and projections. They have considered future plans, along with internal processes and systems for managing financial and operational risks. As a result, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources and infrastructure to continue operating for the foreseeable future.
d) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity 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.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
e) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
f) Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the charitable purposes.
g) 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. Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

For the year ended 31 March 2023
h) Allocation of support costs
Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.
i) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at original historical cost less aggregate depreciation and are only capitalised at a threshold exceeding £1,000. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset on a reducing balance basis over its estimated useful life as follows.
Computer equipment 3 years straight line
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) 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. Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users.
l) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
The charity 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, Chiene + Tait LLP (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
