Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised In accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Asset5 held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. Operatln8 le35e payments are recognised as an expense on a stralght-jlne basls over the lease term.

Penslon cost5 The charity operates a defined contributlon plan for its employees, A defined contrlbutlon plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contribution5 into a separate entSty.
