**GREATER MANCHESTER YOUTH NETWORK LIMITED TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2022**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (Continued)**
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
## **COVID-19 Aftermath & Recovery Plan**
GMYN has continued to adapt and respond well since the pandemic crisis, changing delivery, showing resilience and determination in our approach and effectively planning to ensure the charity can still deliver services at a high level. We have continued with the staff vaccination programme in line with policy, risk assessed all provision of programmes and services and ensured young people are kept safe.
We have been able to use learning to continue to adjust provision accordingly meaning we can plan for further challenges and ensure we can still meet demand. We have seen a continued increase in demand for our services as young people’s issues continue to grow and services reduce. GMYN will continue to remain active and resilient with the capacity to deliver what is needed.
As before, there are still further opportunities and lessons to be learned including more effective ways of delivering our programmes and support. We need to ensure our delivery is flexible and maintains to be adaptable based on the environmental and external factors. The funding environment continues to change with funders priorities changing from crisis management to more focusing on helping with the aftermath and impact of the pandemic on young people’s health and wellbeing.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
At GMYN, (Greater Manchester Youth Network), our vision is #YoungPeopleCan and we help young people in Greater Manchester overcome many challenges. We support young people aged 10 to 25 transition to adulthood feeling skilled, supported and positive. Many of these young people have had adverse experiences in their young lives. GMYN’s innovative services offer exciting opportunities and support that young people are not able to access elsewhere.
In the last 12 months, we have supported 826 young people across Greater Manchester, including 326 who are care experienced; 68 who have SEND (Special educational needs and disability ); and 241 who have SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health) needs. In the next year, we expect our reach to increase further as we expand delivery into new boroughs.
We have continued to maintain our core aim of working in partnership with other organisations across various sectors to share our resources and experience and combine our knowledge of youth work with the other specialisms and expertise of partner organisations. This has included the continued development of a new partnership network (Youth Alliance GM) which is aiming to bring more organisations together to work more collaboratively.
GMYN’s activities and support continue to provide public benefit and meets various needs of young people facing multiple disadvantages.
## **Supporting young people facing disadvantage**
GMYN continues to deliver innovative and exciting programmes and services, that support and enable disadvantaged young people to have a successful transition to adulthood. We have supported young people to achieve through empathetic, flexible, inclusive support. These activities are crucial and help young people develop new skills, build new friendships and feel valued. We see young people as important, influential parts of their communities and our support programmes have reflected this.
## **Care Experienced Youth Programmes.**
We have been able to expand our provision for care experienced young people into new boroughs as well as expanding our preemployability and training programmes. This has allowed the charity to enhance its offer to reach much more young people. This continues to be our main area of delivery and support provision. In Manchester we saw a huge increase in demand this year to support Unaccompanied Asylum Seeker Children/New arrivals (UASC), which we were able to do by developing a new support offer including sport and social prescribing activities.
## **Youth Leadership**
This year we developed our youth voice/leadership work, ensuring we provided various platforms for young people to influence and lead GMYN. This enabled GMYN to develop our leadership programmes including our Leadership group, Changemakers SEND group, Care Experienced Young People Ambassadors and our Peer Evaluation Youth Panel. Our work with young people with SEND/SEMH continues to grow so we have now created a new role to support this, ensuring more young people have the ability to be heard.
## **Young People with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)**
This has been an area of growth for the charity with the expansion of various programmes to support young people with SEND. This includes the development of new youth leadership programmes, independent travel training support, and working with voluntary sector and local authority partnerships to look at the provision of support more widely. This year we created a new core role for the charity “SEND Lead” which brought new support and expertise to GMYN and will allow us to further develop our offer.

## **GREATER MANCHESTER YOUTH NETWORK LIMITED TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2022 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued)**
## **Youth Volunteering/Social Action**
GMYN delivered the NCS (national citizen service) programme in Manchester successfully this year including winning the award for team of the Season, an amazing achievement for the charity. Although the COVID pandemic continued to impact the programme we surpassed our targets for both Summer and Autumn. We continue to embed volunteering and social action throughout our other programmes including the development of new social prescribing activities and campaigning platforms for our youth leadership groups.
## **Youth Alliance Greater Manchester**
As one of the lead organisations supporting the development and formation of this partnership, it has been great that this new alliance is continuing to grow and gain support. With now over 140 partners joined from various sectors and from across GM, this has shown there is real appetite to work together and collaborate on new ideas and opportunities. Our aim now is to seek core funding to allow the Alliance to deliver projects and support services.
## **Income generation**
We have been successful this year in being able to access new funding from different sources which helped provide vital resources for the charity. As well as this we have been able to further develop the charity’s key messaging in order to really demonstrate the difference and impact we make. This has enabled us to apply for successful core and delivery grants from new funders such as Swire Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn and the Charles Hayward Foundation. Unrestricted funding will continue to be a main priority for us, with new fundraising ideas being developed to enable GMYN to move away from delivery grants and be much more sustainable.
## **Organisational development**
We have continued to develop GMYN as an organisation, especially since we have seen an increase in growth that meant we needed to ensure GMYN was ready for further growth in the future. Further developments have included the investment into our bespoke salesforce system, that will allow us to measure our impact much more robustly. Investment in our ICT and Infosec infrastructure set us up to be able to achieve the Cyber Essentials Plus quality standard. Our youth participation principles have helped us to create further opportunities for young people to be involved with the strategy and running of GMYN, including working with the trustees, supporting staff recruitment and helping to design and evaluate our programmes.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Overview**
The charity has seen an increase in income this year of 219k (28%) to £1,008k. With turnover now over £1 million the charity has needed to prepare for this with regards to improved systems and processes, in anticipation of the audit and greater reporting requirements. The increase in income is largely in respect of increases in income from charitable activities which has been driven by increases in unrestricted contract income, including the NCS contract of £162k (2021: £62k).
The charity had an overall deficit in the year of £3.7k, which has resulted in a decrease in the overall net assets from £304k to £301k. The overall deficit in the year is made up of a surplus on unrestricted funds of £19k and a deficit of £23k on restricted funds. The surplus on unrestricted funds for the year of 2022 represents the commitment of reserves to support the ongoing work of the charity, whilst investment is made in building and diversifying the sources of funding whether through earned income or project grant support. Whilst the deficit on restricted funds has been driven by the fact that restricted funds brought forward have been spent in the year.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Board of Trustees have set a reserves policy which requires free reserves to be built at a level which ensures that a minimum 6 months of GMYN’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. This is consistent with general third sector practice. The charity has been working hard to increase levels of unrestricted reserves, which has been difficult with the current funding environment.
The organisation’s total of free reserves (unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets or otherwise designated) was £182,600 at the year end against a target of £200,000
The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the Charity's financial planning and the annual budget.
GMYN’s Reserves Policy is to be reviewed and updated at the end of each financial year to take account of any change in circumstance. When monitoring the levels of reserves the Board of Trustees will take into account an appropriate strategic course of action should an excess or deficit occur.
## **Going concern**
In common with other charities of a similar size and type, the Charity is reliant on continuous fundraising, including the submission of grant funding applications, for its continued operation.
The trustees have not identified any specific matters affecting going concern and these accounts.

## **GREATER MANCHESTER YOUTH NETWORK LIMITED TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2022 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**
The trustee board discusses risk management at every board meeting to ensure the charity has appropriate measures in place to identify and mitigate various risks. The charity has updated its policies and procedures to make sure they are up to date and are suitable for the activities the charity delivers. This includes Health and Safety, Child Protection, Information Security and regular risk assessments of activities. The charity has various processes in place and has allocated additional resources in management and operations this year to ensure risks are minimised for both staff and young people. The trustees hold an annual away day where they review principal risks and any uncertainties the charity will face in the coming year. These risks are recorded on the charity’s risk register which is updated regularly and uses a RAG rating to help prioritise risks and appropriate mitigation. This register is reviewed by trustees at board meetings to allow for discussion and ensures trustees are aware of any potential impact to the charity.
GMYN uses programme reports to monitor performance against contracted targets for programme delivery and has recently invested in a new salesforce system to provide a more accurate monitoring process. The board also receives quarterly management accounts to monitor income/expenditure in line with the annual budget as well as monitoring cash flow. SMT reports to each board meeting on any health and safety and safeguarding concerns. Safeguarding is always a priority, and the trustees are aware that the number of safeguarding concerns has increased due to the nature of the charity’s work and its growth in the number of vulnerable young people being supported. The charity ensures all delivery staff receive the appropriate safeguarding training and has allocated the role of designated safeguarding lead to three managers.
Another risk facing the Charity is failing to meet its financial targets especially for income generation from grants, charitable activities and especially donations. The charity monitors income from all sources and continues to apply for grants from a diverse and extensive range of existing and potential sources. The recruitment of two new fundraising posts was decided to help mitigate this risk and also the need to invest in the organisation's communication tools to help get more interest from corporate supporters.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The charity is now in the second year of its new strategic plan for 2021-2024 and is preparing for an external evaluation of the charity’s services and support programmes. This will allow us to plan much more efficiently and have a clear focus on where our strengths lie and where we should focus our resources. The evaluation will allow an external perspective of our delivery models and measurement systems, giving an honest review of where we are strong and where we can improve. We look forward to seeing the results of this work.
Although the charity has done well financially this year and seen growth in income considering the current climate, this has been the result of good planning and working hard to diversify funding streams. The charity is well aware that the impact of COVID-19 and changes in funding priorities will continue to have a detrimental impact on future opportunities and needs to be prepared.
Our continued aim is to diversify our income streams including looking at training and evaluation services, access more core funding and increase our level of unrestricted reserves. This will ensure the charity continues to be resilient and sustainable and also allow for further investment into the organisation.
## **Objectives**
These objectives are taken from our three-year strategic plan for 2021-2024 and continue the plans and deliverables from our second year going forward.
- GMYN will continue to promote the key message that #YoungPeopleCan and showcase the positive impact of young people by further developing our youth voice platforms.
- GMYN will increase the number of innovative youth programmes and services we deliver to enable young people to have a positive impact on their own lives and the wider community.
- GMYN will continue to develop its offer to support Young People with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This includes giving young people with disabilities the chance to have their voices heard and make change.
- GMYN will improve the impact of our programmes by completing an external evaluation and creating a new impact measurement framework for all aspects of delivery.
- Maintain our primary focus of programme delivery for Greater Manchester young people aged 13 – 25 but we will continue to test pilot programmes for young people under 13.
- Continue to work in partnership with other like minded organisations to share our experience, resources and expertise to deliver youth programmes.
- Seek out a wide range of diverse income streams and new business models to ensure income generation and increase in unrestricted funding.
- Manage and minimise any risks with regards to delivery of programmes and services.
- Support and develop the organisation's workforce to ensure commitment and enthusiasm as well as high quality delivery.

## **TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2022**
- Ensure GMYN has appropriate facilities and funds to ensure high quality delivery and make best use of charity resources.
- Ensure the trustee board continues to provide suitable governance and support to the charity and expand our ambassador programme.
GMYN’s innovative services offer exciting opportunities and support that young people are not able to access elsewhere. GMYN’s delivery of programmes and support services continues to give opportunities for young people to flourish and our variety of programmes and support offers is becoming even more diverse. We want to ensure that our delivery remains high quality and ensures young people are safe, heard and capable of great things.
With the expansion of the Youth Alliance GM and our leadership role in supporting this new partnership, we see great opportunity for GMYN’s role as a strategic lead for the youth sector. GMYN’s strategic work continues to grow, and more and more we are seeing new opportunities for the charity to become involved at a lead level. Our partnership work continues to develop across Greater Manchester especially with funding being confirmed for delivery in new boroughs.

## Independent auditor’s report to the members of Greater Manchester Youth Network
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Greater Manchester Youth Network (the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Ac�vi�es, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accoun�ng policies. The financial repor�ng framework that has been applied in their prepara�on is applicable law and United Kingdom Accoun�ng Standards, including Financial Repor�ng Standard 102 _The Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce).
## 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 2022 and of the incoming resources and applica�on of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce; • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with Interna�onal Standards on Audi�ng (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibili�es under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibili�es for the audit of the financial statements sec�on of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 responsibili�es 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 rela�ng to going concern**
In audi�ng the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accoun�ng in the prepara�on of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not iden�fied any material uncertain�es rela�ng to events or condi�ons that, individually or collec�vely, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to con�nue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibili�es and the responsibili�es of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sec�ons of this report.
## **Other informa�on**
The other informa�on comprises the informa�on included in the trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other informa�on. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other informa�on and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connec�on with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informa�on and, in doing so, consider whether the other informa�on is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we iden�fy 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 informa�on. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other informa�on, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Greater Manchester Youth Network
## **Opinions on other ma�ers prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
• the informa�on 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 included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Ma�ers on which we are required to report by excep�on**
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 iden�fied material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following ma�ers in rela�on to which the Companies Act 2006 require ~~s~~ us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate and proper accoun�ng records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remunera�on specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the informa�on and explana�ons we require for our audit; or
• the trustees were not en�tled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemp�ons in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
## **Responsibili�es of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibili�es statement set out on page 7, the trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the prepara�on of the financial statements and for being sa�sfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the prepara�on 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 con�nue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, ma�ers related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accoun�ng unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease opera�ons, or have no realis�c alterna�ve but to do so.
## **Other ma�er**
The corresponding figures were not audited.
## **Auditor’s responsibili�es for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objec�ves 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

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Greater Manchester Youth Network
## **Auditor’s responsibili�es for the audit of the financial statements (con�nued)**
Irregulari�es, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regula�ons. We design procedures in line with our responsibili�es, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregulari�es, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detec�ng irregulari�es, including fraud is detailed below.
## **Capability of the audit in detec�ng irregulari�es, including fraud**
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and environment in which it operates, we iden�fied the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regula�ons related to pension legisla�on, tax legisla�on, employment legisla�on, health and safety legisla�on, and other legisla�on specific to the industry in which the charitable company operates, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regula�ons that have a direct impact on the prepara�on of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the repor�ng requirements under the Chari�es SORP and FRS102, and the Chari�es Act 2011.
We evaluated management’s incen�ves and opportuni�es for fraudulent manipula�on of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to:
- Pos�ng manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance; and
- Management bias through judgements and assump�ons in significant accoun�ng es�mates and significant
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to those iden�fied risks, including non-compliance with laws and regula�ons (irregulari�es) and fraud that are material to the financial statements. Our audit procedures included but were not limited to:
Compliance with laws and regula�ons:
- Discussions with management including considera�on of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with relevant laws and regula�ons;
- Communica�ng iden�fied laws and regula�ons throughout our engagement team and remaining alert to any indica�ons of non-compliance throughout our audit;
- Review minutes of mee�ngs for issues rela�ng to non-compliance;
- Reviewing both the design and implementa�on of key policies, including safeguarding.
- Review of correspondence with the regulators and with legal advisors;
- Making enquiries of management and those charged with governance on whether they had any knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mi�gate risks related to fraud;
- Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud;
- Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry tes�ng; and
- Challenging assump�ons and judgments made by management, including reviewing management’s recogni�on of income in line with FRS102 SORP, use of deprecia�on policies, treatment of restructuring costs in the year and the defined benefit pension liability and associated disclosures:
There are inherent limita�ons in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regula�ons is from the events and transac�ons reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detec�ng a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk

of not detec�ng one resul�ng from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or inten�onal misrepresenta�ons, or through collusion.
A further descrip�on of our responsibili�es for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Repor�ng Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibili�es. This descrip�on forms part of our auditor’s report.

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## 1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## 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) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Greater Manchester Youth Network meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.
## b Judgments and estimates
The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.
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 amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
- c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)**
## d Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and 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 a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## e Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## f 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.

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)**
- g Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
- h 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.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## i Operating leases
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## j Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
|Fixtures and fittings|5-10 years|
|---|---|
|Equipment|3-10 years|

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)**
## k 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.
## l 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.
## m 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.
## n Financial instruments
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.
## o Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 11. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end.
## 2 Legal status of the charity
