Voluntary income is received by way of donations and fundraising activities. This income is treated as unrestricted funds for use by the Charity.

Activities for generating funds consists of room hire, book sales and royalties and is accounted for on a receivable basis.

Surplus funds are invested in a bank deposit account to earn interest. Interest received is included when receivable. Interest is credited to the unrestricted fund to offset overheads.

Incoming resources from the charitable activities consists of grants, which are related to performance and are accounted for as the Charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the Charity, are recognised when the Charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

Other sources of incoming resources from the charitable activities consist of contributions towards the cost of Educational Classes and accounted for on a receivable basis.

d) Resources Expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred.

Cost of generating funds comprises the costs associated with attracting future income.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

4

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include the Independent Examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity.

Costs are allocated to charitable activities and the Charity on the basis of usage. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, other overheads are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

e) Depreciation

g) Taxation

h) Transfer between funds

i) Pensions

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the accounts when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
