## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES** 

Our focus is on one specific issue: scaling social impact. We believe that solutions with proven social impact need to operate at a much greater scale to truly address our most significant social problems. 

We know solutions with proven social impact are out there; what they need is a broader, bigger reach, while maintaining depth of impact. We believe transformational change will be achieved by building on what already works, rather than reinventing the wheel. 

As such, we partner with organisations that have demonstrated their models' tangible impact to expand their reach and realise their aspirations. We believe many of these models have the potential to address some of the world's greatest social issues. 

In setting its programme each year, due regard is given to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. 

## **ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES** 

We have pioneered a framework to unpack and demystify the complex area of scaling social impact. There are a number of routes to scaling and to date our main focus has been on replication. Replication refers broadly to taking an organisation, a programme or set of core principles to new locations. 

Our systematic 5-stage methodology, detailed in our open source toolkit, is designed to enable organisations to identify, design and implement the right model to achieve their impact at a much larger scale. We assist our clients wherever they are on their journey to scale, whether it be proving their readiness to scale (stage one) or helping get their pilot off the ground (stage four) and beyond.

## **Trustees' Report** 

Our formula: 

Strategic and practical. We challenge clients to set ambitious social targets, and then help them develop pragmatic strategies to achieve them. 

Commercial and social. Our team brings both commercial and social expertise from working with some of the world's most impactful purpose-led organisations and our own research. We are a not-for-profit social enterprise ourselves, investing any surplus back into our social mission, so we 'get' the sector. 

Rigorous process. Scaling is challenging, but not impossible. It requires careful design of a system that works, monitoring improvement, backed by solid systems and processes which we help design and implement. 

Connected. We help facilitate the links needed for clients to implement their strategies, from funding to service providers. 

Successful. We only count our work as a success if our clients create genuine and lasting social impact. 

Our central value is to strive to create, scale and sustain the maximum social impact, working towards our impact goal to assist ten solutions to social issues to replicate to achieve scale by the end of 2022/23. We will be publishing a 10 year impact report in the coming year. 

We carry out four main activities to work towards our charitable mission: 

**Consultancy:** We deliver consultancy through our five-stage process, helping our clients to achieve their social mission by scaling their impact through replication. This consultancy is delivered through workshops, field visits, staff meetings and reports and financial model development. Where clients have already reached scale, we help them review their existing network to consider how it can be strengthened to better help them work towards their organisational goals. 

**Trainings and tools:** We run a variety of training courses for leaders in the social sector who want to think strategically about how to scale impact. This includes the intensive Leaders of Scale training course, as well as shorter training courses we are developing for organisations earlier in their thinking about scale. 

**Research and scale projects:** We contribute towards the global knowledge base on scale and replication, recognising areas where there are gaps in existing sector knowledge, and support funders with their scale projects. 

**Advocacy:** We promote sector-wide awareness and understanding of social replication as a method to scale social impact systematically. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE OVERALL** 

We have worked on over 314 projects, in 41 countries around the world, with engagements ranging from one-day workshops to multi-year partnerships. Our Open Source Toolkit has been downloaded over 4,000 times. 

Because of challenging times globally due to Covid-19 we made a deficit this year, cushioned by government relief programs. Cash and funds balances remain strong enabling us to meet our long-term reserves target and support our continued response to the pandemic. 

We continued to promote scale across the sector, aiming to inspire others to consider a systematic approach when scaling up.

## **PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS** 

## **SCALE ACCELERATOR** 

In late 2018, the National Lottery Community Fund committed to supporting our Scale Accelerator Programme for the next three and a half years. This funding allows us to support four cohorts of UK-based organisations to develop scale strategies and replication models. The programme officially launched in early 2019, and we have since started supporting our first three cohorts. As well as direct consultancy support and cohort learning events, we are carrying out action research with UK-based funders, in order to create a more supportive environment for scale in the UK. We are also running a new training course for small groups of organisations, called ‘Leaders of Scale’. Working throughout the funding cycle with our evaluation and learning partner, M2 consultants, we have been continually improving programme delivery, sustainability, and social impact. 

## **SPORT ENGLAND** 

In support of its wider organisational strategy, Sport England aims to increase the number and diversity of people volunteering in sport. Currently in the systemise and pilot phase, we are supporting five organisations from Sport England’s Volunteering Fund to implement and test their models for scale. The first set of insights that have emerged from the earlier stages of the partnership will be shared at the end of this year. These insights, coupled with other learning from the programme should inform the design of a future partnership between Sport England and Spring Impact. 

## **OAK FOUNDATION** 

This year we continued our strategy partnership with Oak Foundation to provide support to the Oak Foundation’s Prevent Child Sexual Abuse team to implement its scale target and thus accelerate the reduction of child sexual abuse and exploitation. Spring Impact is supporting two partners from the fund to co-design a scale strategy and replication model, co-develop the systems and processes these partners will need to replicate. The two partners are; CHDC, a Ugandan organisation who are scaling the parenting programme Parenting for Respectability and Centrs Dardedze, a Latvien organisation scaling the Džimba programme preventing sexual violence against children. 

## **LEAN INNOVATION SUPPORT** 

In the summer of 2020 we established our Lean Innovation Practice based on the work of Ann Mei Chang, author of Lean Impact: How to Innovate for Radically Greater Social Good. Often our partners need to pivot their model at key inflection points along the journey to scale-for example, moving from directly delivering a service to equipping a network of partners to deliver a service, or transitioning a programme to online channels. We evolved our methodology to help teams quickly test new ideas and de-risk scaling strategies at these pivotal moments. Over the year our team helped several organisations build the skillset for lean innovation including projects with Jewish Vocational Services, Centering Healthcare Institute, Center for International Private Enterprise, Cadasta, and Rare among others. 

## **BEZOS FAMILY FOUNDATION & VROOM PROGRAM** 

This year we completed our second phase of support to the Bezos Family Foundation’s Vroom program. We supported Vroom, an early childhood development intervention, to develop its two-pronged international scale strategy. Specifically, this entailed a strategic partnership approach and an open-source licensing opportunity via an online toolkit. Spring Impact then went further to support Vroom to implement these strategies by 1) researching, selecting, providing due diligence on high potential strategic partners that would allow Vroom to achieve its scale goals and 2) systemizing the content for the online toolkit to make the tool much more broadly accessible. The recommendations were well received, and resulted in Vroom launching partnerships with six of the strategic partners recommended including the Aga Khan Foundation, Brac, Tostan, Save the Children, Worldreader, and Telemundo. Additionally, the online toolkit is in the process of being launched and is under development with a web development partner. Spring Impact believes there is potential for additional follow-on support in the form of codifying partner learnings and incorporating it into the open source process.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **a. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies** 

The Charity's consolidated income for the year was £2,048,943 an increase of 1% on the prior year. The consolidated deficit for the period was £94,463 against a surplus of £271,806 in the prior year. This reflects stability on income generation during challenging times whilst maintaining a focus on internal investments to create firm foundations from which to grow further. Cash and funds balances remain strong enabling us to meet our long-term reserves target and support our continued expansion. Our unrecognised grant and contracted income for the 2022 financial year is solid allowing us to work on more social replication projects over the coming financial year. 

The principal funding sources of the Charity in the reporting period were £1,260,288 of grants and donations, and £788,655 of contract income for our work on social replication projects. 

## **b. Going Concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. 

## **c. Principal Risks And Uncertainties** 

In accordance with the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice the trustees confirm that they have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity might be exposed and identified plans and strategies to mitigate those risks. 

The principal risks are: 

Cash flow. This risk is mitigated by continuous monitoring of our cash position, our reserves policy noted below and charging for an element of each project up front. 

Loss of key staff. This risk is mitigated by our Remuneration Policy noted below and our internal "Systemise" project which documents all internal processes and our approach to delivering client assignments. 

An indemnity policy is in place to cover the negligence or default of trustees or employees. 

## **d. Reserves Policy** 

Spring Impact's ongoing Reserves Policy is to ensure that a level of resources is always retained to continue funding: 

its core structure and activities for a minimum period of 3 months. Longer term, the intention is to increase this to 6 months, 

its existing commitments to charitable projects. 

The Reserves Policy is reviewed at least annually in light of the Charity's changing circumstances. The ongoing situation is monitored by the Treasurer and Chief Executive Officer and is formally presented at each Trustee meeting, together with a cash flow forecast.

## **Spring Impact** 

## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Spring Impact** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Spring Impact (the 'charitable parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2021, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and parent charity's affairs as at 30 June 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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 group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were 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 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. 

Page 10 



## **Spring Impact** 

## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Spring Impact** 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinion 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 and Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the and Trustees' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the and the Trustees' Report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the parent charitable company 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. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities (set out on page 9), the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor 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. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Page 11 



## **Spring Impact** 

## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Spring Impact** 

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: 

• the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

• we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector; 

• we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; 

• we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and 

• identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: 

• making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and 

• considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

• tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 

• assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and 

• investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

• agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; 

• reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

• enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and 

- reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators, and the charity’s legal advisors. 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2021** 

## **1 Charity status** 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. 

The address of its registered office is: 4th Floor 100 Fenchurch Street London EC3M 5JD 

The principal place of business is: Runway East 10 Finsbury Square London EC2A 1AF 

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

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. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Spring Impact meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Basis of consolidation** 

The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 June 2021. 

No statement of financial activities is presented for the charity as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The charity made a loss after tax for the financial year of £15,748 (2020 - profit of £134,126). 

Page 21 



## **Spring Impact** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2021** 

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is achieved where the charity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of financial activities from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group. 

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill. 

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the charity and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full. 

Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. 

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the group's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the group. 

## **Income and endowments** 

All income is recognised once the group has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. All income is shown net of value added tax. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations and gifts are recognised when receivable. In the event that a donation is subject to fulfilling performance conditions before the group is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the group has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## _**Deferred income**_ 

Income received in advance for a future fundraising event or for a grant received relating to the following year are deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

Page 22 



## **Spring Impact** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2021** 

## _**Gift aid**_ 

Income from Gift Aid tax reclaims is recognised for any donations with relevant Gift Aid certificates recognised in income for the year. Any amounts of Gift Aid not received by the year-end are accounted for in income and accrued income in debtors. 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Interest on deposit funds held is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the group which is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff time. 

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

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. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Irrecoverable VAT** 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

## **Spring Impact** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2021** 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £3,000.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

## **Asset class** 

Office equipment 

**Depreciation method and rate** 33% straight line 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment. 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Page 24 



## **Spring Impact** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2021** 

## **Borrowings** 

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. 

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. 

## **Foreign exchange** 

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the group. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. 

## **Financial instruments** 

## _**Classification**_ 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. 

## _**Recognition and measurement**_ 

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.
