Accounting poll¢lo8 (￿nI￿n￿•d)

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual
value, over the useful econom[¢ lrfe of that asset as follows..
Fixtures & Fittings
Equipment
25°/o reducing balance
25% redu¢ing balan(*
Impairnient of fixod assots
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out al each reporting dale, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indl¢alor$ exist. Where the carying value exceeds Ihe
recoverable amount. the a$$et is impaired accordingly. Prior impaimienls ar8 also reviewed for
possible ￿VerSal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment lesling, when it is not possible to estimate the re¢overable
amount of an individual asset, an eslimale is made of the recoverable amount of the
sh%enerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unit is the smallest
identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash irnlows that a￿ largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment lestlng of goodwill. the goodwill acquired in a bsjsiness combination is, from the
acquisition date. allocated to each of the cash-generaling units that are expected lo benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilitie$ of the charity
are assigned lo those units.
stocks
Stocks consist of donated items and are measured by weight and a value per kilogram is applied.
This value per kilogram is obtained from the Trussell Trust and is used by all foodbanks within ils
ne￿ork.
The figure for closing stock as al 31 December 2023 refiects a negative adjuslmenl of 2,659.2kg
made in July 2023 and a negative adjustment of 514.2kg made in October 2023 following stock
reviews.
Flnanclal Instrum¢nts
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a paty to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised al the amount receNable or payable includlng
any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured al the cash or other
consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequenuy meaSu￿d at amortlsed cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured
reliably, the ir)vestment is subsequently measured at fair va14Je with changes in fair value
recognised income and expendrture. All other such investments are subsequently measured at
cost less impairment.

Flnanclal Instruments (contlnuod)
Other financial inslrumenls, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value. unless
payment for an asset is defeffed beyond normal business temis or financed al a rate of Interest
that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounted al a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. with any changes
recognised in the ststemenl of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a
desigrEated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured al cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence
of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is obje¢live evidence of impairment. an
impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial
activrties in which the initial gain was re¢ognised.
For all equty instruments regardless of significance. and other financial assets that are
Individually significant. these are assessed individually for impairment. other financial assets are
either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately. to the extent that the reversal does not
result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contrlbutlon plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period In which
the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an Éssel to the extent
that the prepayment will lead lo a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the
reporting dale in which the employees render the related service. the liability is measured on a
discounted presenl value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
the perlod in whlch It arises.
