Message from the Chair
Linda Baines Outoging Chair of the Board of Trustees
“2025 has been a very strong year for Irise - our income has grown with the support of key donors and we value these partnerships not only for the financial support they provide, but for the thoughtful, supportive, and constructively challenging relationships we have built with our funders. This year, we refreshed our strategy, branding, and website, strengthening the clarity of our vision and how we communicate our work. We have continued to collaborate closely with our sister organisation, Irise Institute of East Africa (IIEA), based in Uganda. Across both organisations, our teams have continued to grow, with youth activists and leaders playing a central role in shaping and delivering our work.
Together, this progress has laid strong foundations for Irise’s future. Our CEO, Chrissy, is now well established in her role and has launched several exciting new initiatives, with many more in development. Her leadership, alongside the dedication of the team and trustees, is setting the stage for even greater impact.
As I step down after almost seven years as Chair, I reflect with pride on how far Irise has developed since its founding in 2014. Irise has helped to lead a rapidly growing global movement and has achieved international recognition for its transformative work on menstrual justice and gender equality. Our approach is deeply rooted in feminist leadership and values, which we have reaffirmed through our new strategy. Whether in the UK or through IIEA in East Africa, Irise continues to collaborate with more than 200 grassroots and community-based groups to drive local change and advocate for systemic transformation. As I hand over to Julia Maria Angeli, Irise’s new Chair, I am confident in Irise’s future and excited to see the organisation continue to grow and go from strength to strength.”
Julia Maria Angeli Incoming Chair of the Board of Trustees
“It is a privilege to be stepping into the role of Chair of Trustees at such an important moment in Irise International’s journey. Over the past few years, the organisation has shown remarkable resilience and creativity through a period of transition and renewal, and I am excited to support - the next phase of its growth and to work alongside an all female, feminist Board.
What excites me most about this role is the opportunity to deepen our youth-led ethos through stronger links between the Empower Period Committee (EPC) and the Board and by ensuring that young people’s voices are more directly reflected in governance and - decision making. As Irise implements its new five-year strategy, we have a powerful opportunity to deepen our impact across East Africa and the UK, while also amplifying our voice in global advocacy for menstrual equity and bodily autonomy. I am particularly inspired by the potential of new initiatives such as the Menstrual Justice Academy to scale learning and influence.”

IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
Vision & Mission
A world where menstruation is no longer stigmatised, but reclaimed for collective liberation
At Irise International,we believe in a world where menstruation is no longer a source of shame, but is reclaimed for our collective liberation. We dismantle menstrual injustice by channeling power and resources to young activists and grassroots leaders, sustaining them as powerful forces for systemic change, and advocate for others to do the same. We center those facing intersecting forms of oppression, ensuring menstrual justice is embedded within broader social justice movements. Bold in our ambition, we refuse to work within the existing system, modeling new paths for a more just and liberated future.
STRATEGIC PILLARS
Build ourselves as a resilient, feminist community
Strengthen organisational resilience by ensuring we are led-by people who have diverse menstrual experiences, growing our income and embedding feminist values, fostering a culture ’ - of solidarity and collective care - sharing the responsibility for each other s well being. Intentionally explore our partnership with IIEA through a facilitated process grounded in feminist and decolonial principles, sharing learnings as a blueprint for global partnerships.
Amplify the transformative power of youth action for menstrual justice
Pilot pioneering participatory approaches which drive resource and power directly to young people delivering grassroots activism, especially those experiencing overlapping forms of oppression. Capture learning and generate evidence for best practice, advocating for more direct funding to young people. Amplify youth leadership in UK policy, advocacy and programming, ensuring their contributions shape intersecting Government-led initiatives that will affect the realisation of menstrual justice. This includes the Free Period Product Scheme, RSE Curriculum Guidance, the Women’s Health Strategy and other policies that affect people who menstruate relating to bodily autonomy, gender, the environment, disability and race.
Drive resource to global grassroots movements
Continue to mobilise resources and advocate alongside IIEA, driving strategic investment in grassroots initiatives while modeling decolonial and feminist practices that prioritise local leadership and amplify the voices of those most impacted by menstrual injustice. Explore opportunities to channel resources and scale impact globally, partnering with other regional grassroots menstrual movements and fostering communities of practice - coming together to deepen and embed learning.
Scale the menstrual justice approach globally
Through collaboration with aligned social justice movements, build solidarity by embedding a menstrual justice lens within broader social justice efforts, particularly in education, healthcare, climate action, and bodily autonomy. Ensure global south leadership and community-led solutions to menstrual injustice in global influencing spaces.

What our partners say...
“ Many women have shared that having these products available has reduced stress, boosted their confidence, and helped them stay active in their daily lives, whether that’s attending work, school, or community activities. It has also encouraged more open conversations about menstrual health and wellbeing within our centre.”

UK Schools Toilet Polic Toolkit y
During our ‘Every Period Counts’ campaign in 2023, hundreds of young people across the UK shared their experiences with Irise of not being able to access toilet facilities and period products at school, despite schools being signed up to the Governments Period Product Scheme.
- One 16-year old pupil shared,
“My school has now put shutters on every single toilet.”
From locked toilets to cubicle doors being removed, young people across the UK are facing daily barriers to accessing toilets during school hours. This issue extends beyond period inequality to encompass a human rights concern, affecting not only those with periods but also students with bladder and bowel conditions.
----- Start of picture text -----
e
----- End of picture text -----
- As one 22-year old said,
“The never-ending debate of accessing toilets in schools must be addressed if we want to create inclusive education for all. The best way to do that? Include us. Young people have to be involved to ensure we have lasting change for everyone in the schooling system.”
In the summer of 2024, Irise brought together a diverse group of young people from across the UK, along with their allies and educators, in a roundtable hosted by the Lord Mayor, Jayne Dunn, to directly inform the creation of a ‘Toilet Policy Toolkit.’ This toolkit equips schools with the necessary tools to design a Toilet Policy that is inclusive and works for all students.
Ever wondered what a Gold Standard Loo might look like?
The toolkit covers a wide range of issues related to toilet access, including supporting pupils with periods during exam time, addressing concerns around vaping in toilets, and ensuring LGBTQAI+ students can access both toilets and period products, among others.
Endorsed by leading organisations such as Bloody Good Period and Plan UK, the Toilet Policy Toolkit will be launched in February 2025, along with a Welsh-translated version, in collaboration with phs Group.

IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
The Period Confident Schools Programme tackles two menstrual justice issues that young people are facing in England and Wales: menstrual education that does not meet their needs and difficulties in accessing toilets and period products in their schools.
’ - Period Confident Schools is Irise International s ground breaking initiative working with schools across England & Wales to:
-
More effectively implement the Government’s Free Period Product Scheme, improving access to free period products in schools whilst ensuring inclusivity of learners with Special Educational Needs, LGBTQAI+ students, neurodivergent learners, and faith and cultural diversities. Position youth voice at the centre of transforming school toilet access policies by piloting our -
-
youth led UK Schools Toilet Policy Toolkit. Together, we balance the needs of both teachers and students to create new toilet access policies which honour the rights of all students to access toilets, including those who menstruate.
-
Train teachers to deliver a pioneering, age-appropriate menstrual curriculum, co-designed by primary school teacher Belski and Dr. Maria Tomlinson at the University of Sheffield.
-
This curriculum directly supports the Department for Education’s latest RSE guidance to be implemented in September 2026, stating that menstrual health education should be delivered prior to girls’ starting their periods (which, for some, is as early as 8 years old).
-
Take a whole-school approach to catalyse youth-led systemic change and a shift in culture around periods and menstrual justice.
In 2025 we received funding to pilot Period Confident Schools in 12 schools across England and Wales in 2026.

IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
What Teachers say..
- “The initiative has ensured that students do not miss lessons, extracurricular activities, or social opportunities due to lack of access.”
“ Students feel more confident and informed, not only about their own bodies but also in supporting peers.”
“ Students feel encouraged to talk about periods without embarrassment or fear of judgment, which has contributed to a significant reduction in stigma, helping to normalise conversations about menstrual health and wellbeing.”
“This practical support has been crucial in promoting equity and reducing barriers to full participation in school life.”
What Students say...
“ Many of the girls have felt more comfortable detailing their struggles to members of staff… rather than covering it up.”
“Something as simple as placing products in a more public space not only made accessing products more efficient, but also reduced the stigma surrounding menstruation.”
“I am advocating within my school to implement education on menstrual equity within the curriculum, such as within our personal development lessons or assemblies.”

IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
THE RED REPORT
On Menstrual Health Day, Irise launched a groundbreaking annual study to track how attitudes and knowledge around menstruation are shifting and to uncover what is influencing change. In Spring 2025, our survey of 2,000 British adults revealed a shocking reality...
-
Stigma, inequity, and discomfort around menstruation remain deeply embedded in our society.
-
Nearly 1 in 4 people who menstruate struggle to afford period products, rising to almost 1 in 3 Gen Z, Disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) menstruators.
-
Almost 1 in 5 menstruators have experienced discrimination due to menstruation in the past year — increasing to nearly 1 in 4 for Gen Z and BAME menstruators.
-
More than a quarter of menstruators reported feeling embarrassed about menstruation in the past 12 months. This rises to 1 in 3 among Gen Z.
-
• Most UK adults are still uncomfortable talking about menstruation in day-to day situations. Menstrual knowledge remains critically low, but the data suggests that greater knowledge leads to greater comfort — highlighting the transformative power of menstrual education.
-
Social media, news media, advertising, and activism are all seen as having a role to play in breaking the silence and destigmatising menstruation.
-
UK adults support menstrual leave policies, signalling public readiness for meaningful policy change.
Taken together, these findings highlight both the urgent need for action and the enormous opportunity for progress. The Red Report will be published annually to track this evolving landscape - exposing challenges, spotlighting change, and galvanising action toward a more just, informed, and shame-free future forall.

Period Equity Alliance
The Period Equity Alliance (PEA) is a UK-wide coalition of organisations and advocates working together to accelerate progress on menstrual justice. By bringing together expertise from across the sector, the Alliance strengthens coordination on policy and advocacy, holds government to account on its commitments, and increases the collective impact of the movement.
Aligned around shared priorities—including improving access to period products, tackling stigma, strengthening education and increasing community support—the PEA enables members to collaborate, share insights, and avoid duplication, ensuring more strategic and effective action. Irise is a core member of the Alliance because we believe lasting change requires collective action. - Through the PEA, we amplify youth led voices, contribute our research and advocacy expertise, and — strengthen joint calls for systemic change recognising that together, we are more influential than any one organisation alone.
2025 Highlights
-
National advocacy efforts through Essity’s Ban the Ban campaign, including attending a highlevel roundtable chaired by Dame Lesley Regan, strengthening ministerial engagement and supporting the formation of the CensHERship alliance in collaboration with PEA members. Protecting access to period products in schools by engaging with the Department for Education and Ministers through roundtables, open letters, and evidence submissions to advocate for the continuation of the Period Products Scheme. This resulted in the confirmation of the Government tender for England, securing provision through to 2028/29.
-
Driving evidence based advocacy by submitting evidence and coordinated joint letters to the Secretary of State for Education, ensuring lived experiences and sector insights informed decision- making.
-
Strengthening the Alliance for growth by leading the development of the PEA’s identity and brand, laying the foundations to expand membership and increase reach in 2026.
-
Advancing research and lived experience through a partnership with Birmingham City University as a joint applicant to embed lived experience of period inequity into the development of community intervention toolkits. The funding has been secured, with delivery beginning in September 2026.
-
Sustaining sector momentum through amplification of the work of Alliance members and helping mitigate the impact of the closure of Bloody Good Period, ensuring continued visibility and coordination across the movement.

IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
Ex our Global Part ploring nership for Menstrual Justice
- This year, Irise International and IIEA completed a reflective process to strengthen our decade long “sisterhood”. Through facilitated deep listening and storytelling we created space to honestly reflect on our shared journey - celebrating successes while addressing challenges. This process culminated in a renewed shared vision and roadmap for the next 5–10 years, alongside strengthened values, accountability, and funding approaches. Together, this work lays the foundations for a more equitable, collaborative, and sustainable global partnership to drive menstrual justice.
Our Shared Vision
A world where people are not limited by menstruation - able to learn, work, and thrive with dignity, confidence, and equal opportunity - upheld by resilient grassroots movements, just and equitable partnerships, and systems that redistribute power and resources fairly across the globe.
Our Mission
We work together to ensure no person who menstruates is held back. Rooted in a decolonial approach, we strengthen local movements and grassroots leadership, generate evidence to influence systems and policies, and build a just ecosystem where resources flow equitably to grassroots organisations and communities.

IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
Period Positive Schools, Uganda
Irise continued to mobilise resources and strategic support for IIEA’s flagship menstrual health programme, helping to strengthen and expand its impact throughout 2025. The programme takes a holistic, community-centred approach to achieving period equity by working closely with local government and targeting government-funded schools in Jinja District to shift harmful social norms, improve menstrual health education, and strengthen WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) facilities in schools.
Alongside infrastructure and education, the programme distributes reusable menstrual products and delivers inclusive peer-led learning sessions for both girls and boys, helping to reduce stigma and build supportive school communities. The model has also been successfully adapted for humanitarian settings in Nakivale Refugee Settlement through We Empower Her (WEH), as well as tailored specifically to support girls living with disabilities.
Throughout 2025, new funders joined the initiative, enabling the programme to deepen its impact and scale its reach to more underserved communities. Operating across 25 government-aided - primary schools in 9 sub counties in Jinja and Isingiro, the programme has cumulatively reached more than 60,000 students and community members. During this reporting period alone, the programme directly reached 14,772 people, including:
5,999 girls under 18 2,223 boys under 18 5,084 adults 355 girls living with disabilities 1,107 refugees in Nakivale Refugee Settlement
The programme places a strong emphasis on inclusion, ensuring that girls with disabilities and young people living in refugee communities can access the information, products, and support they need to manage menstruation with dignity and confidence.
“ Before interacting with IIEA, I used to see menstruation as an extra burden on top of my disability. Now I have received period panties and I receive support from both boys and girls without disabilities, thanks to the peer-to- peer learning sessions. Thank you so much, Irise, for thinking about children with disabilities like me.”
“ Since interacting with Irise Institute East Africa, I have become more confident during my periods. Previously, I used to miss my classes because I felt ashamed and I did not have access to pads. However, thanks to Irise, I am now able to attend my classes freely during periods.”
By combining menstrual health education with peer support, inclusive programming, improved WASH facilities, and access to reusable products, the programme is helping to create safer, more supportive school environments where every young person can thrive.
23
IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
The Period Equality Network (TPEN)
TPEN is emerging as a powerful civil society voice within the East African landscape and is becoming well known and respected as an expert network within the menstrual space. IIEA has continued to coordinate the 160 member organisations of TPEN to participate in various advocacy processes at national, regional and global levels. These include participation of members in the menstrual hygiene management (MHM) National Steering Committee meetings hosted by the Ministry of Education and Sports. In the global advocacy space, members of the TPEN network have been invited to host fireside chats with the Global Menstrual Collective, elevating grassroots action in menstrual health to a wider global menstrual sector audience.
In partnership with The Waterloo Foundation, Irise International and IIEA continued to strengthen the grassroots menstrual justice movement through the TPEN Small Grants Programme. The initiative provides funding, training, and mentoring to community-led organisations working to advance menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) across East Africa.
In 2025, TPEN also entered an exciting new phase of growth, launching a renewed 5 Year Strategy alongside securing two additional years of dedicated funding. This investment will enable the network to strengthen its operations and systems for scale, while deepening collective advocacy efforts to drive regional and global impact on menstrual justice.
In 2025, 13 grassroots organisations across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi received grants totalling £30,300 to deliver innovative, locally-led menstrual justice initiatives. Out of 37 applications, 13 organisations were selected, including 9 new grantees and 4 organisations receiving scale-up funding following successful delivery in 2024.
Collective Impact
Together, TPEN grantees directly reached more than 7,642 people through school and communitybased menstrual health programmes. The projects improved access to menstrual health information and products, strengthened community engagement, and challenged harmful stigma and cultural taboos surrounding menstruation.
The programme supported a wide range of innovative approaches, including Disability-inclusive menstrual health education in Rwanda
-
Digital storytelling and social media advocacy across East Africa
-
Feminist art and music campaigns challenging stigma
-
Community-led policy and advocacy toolkits
-
Reusable pad-making training and sustainable product access
-
Male allyship and gender-inclusive menstrual health education Refugee and pastoralist community engagement
Several projects also secured wider influence and policy engagement. For example, Voice of Youth Tanzania successfully advocated for menstrual health to be included in Monduli District’s 2025/26 budget planning process, while Toto Centre Initiative’s advocacy in Kenya led to plans for disabilityfriendly washrooms at Hongwe Special School.
Building a Stronger Regional Movement
Beyond direct delivery, the programme strengthened the capacity and visibility of grassroots organisations leading menstrual justice work in their communities. Grantees participated in Menstrual - Hygiene Day campaigns, engaged local leaders and schools, and amplified youth led advocacy through media and arts.

IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
Scarlet Murmurations: Advancing Global Menstrual Justice report, commissioned by Irise International in partnership with the Global Menstrual Collective, has emerged as a vital tool for the menstrual movement. It strengthens and complements existing efforts to shape a global consensus on menstrual justice, offering a clear framework for embedding a justice lens across action globally. The report equips advocates and organizations with the tools to critically assess their own practices, - championing a rights based approach that prioritises equity, inclusion, and empowerment. By fostering deeper reflection and action, it paves the way for more transformative, community-driven solutions in the pursuit of menstrual justice.
A Global Advisory Group came together to collectively define a Terms of Reference, leading to an open call for consultants. In March 2024, after a thorough interview process, Ingrid Lynch and Abigail Solomons were appointed as lead consultants for this crucial work. Together with the Global Advisory Group and through extensive desk reviews, the development of case studies, and consultations with grassroots networks, the team engaged with organizations and communities across the Global South. These efforts have played a pivotal role in elevating impactful examples of menstrual justice, demonstrating the breadth of issues and highlighting the diverse populations involved in the movement. The case studies, developed by in-country leads, explore how menstrual justice intersects with other critical issues. These include the challenges faced in humanitarian and conflict contexts, the experiences of Indigenous communities, and the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals. The report also examines the intersection with disability, religious and cultural practices, — and the climate crisis further deepening the understanding of menstrual justice in its full context.
The report and Executive Summary are available for download on Irise’s website. Throughout 2025 and beyond, Irise activley disseminated the findings, engaging stakeholders across sectors in the report’s recommendations and fostering global communities of practice to drive meaningful change in menstrual justice.
Menstrual Justice can be understood as a - rights based, intersectional approach that seeks to dismantle structural inequities related to menstruation and the menstrual cycle.
Scarlet Murmurations urges movement actors to first consider our own readiness and commitment to justice-oriented action.

IRISE INTERNATIONAL: IMPACT REPORT
Structure, Governance and Management
Board of Trustees
Irise International is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the UK's Charity Commission, governed by a constitution. The Board of Trustees comprises 7 people who are responsible for supervising the management of all the affairs of Irise International. Board meetings are held four times yearly at the end of every quarter. Trustee recruitment and appointment are done based on the specific skills and experiences required and the nomination of an existing trustee, and they are voted upon. No other organisation or body has the right to appoint trustees to the charity.
Trustees’ Responsibilities
The board of trustees is responsible for ensuring that all the activities are within UK law and fall within the agreed charitable objectives. Its work includes setting strategic direction and approving the financial plan. The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which reveal the charity's financial position with reasonable accuracy at any given time. They are responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and, hence, for taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud or any other irregularities. The board delegates day to day running of the charity to the Chief Executive Officer and acts on advice and information from regular meetings with members of the Executive Team.
Staff and Structure
Irise International is firmly committed to young people's leadership, particularly of diverse women - and girls and other marginalised genders. Irise International aims to be a high impact, agile organisation. It therefore employs a small core team and works flexibly with a network of - freelancers and consultants to achieve cost-effective, high impact work, creating opportunities for emerging young leaders across its programmes. In 2025, this comprised one core staff member supported by a network of freelance specialists. This model has proven resilient in a challenging funding landscape for small charities and allows Irise to draw on a breadth of expertise while remaining financially flexible.
In our East Africa work, we are committed to supporting East African leadership, particularly young women's leadership. We continue to invest in supporting the growth and development of our sister organisation, Irise Institute East Africa. Efforts include enabling them to build a diverse funding portfolio with international and African-based funders to support their long-term independence and sustainability.
Risk Management
The trustees actively review the significant risks that the charity faces regularly, together with an annual review of the financial systems. The trustees have taken steps to put in place and regularly review a reserves policy as detailed in the financial statements. The trustees periodically identify and review the risks the organisation faces through an organisational risk management process and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate significant risks.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Irise International CIO Charity number 1157722
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Irise International CIO ("the charity") for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Irise International CIO
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) and the Charities Act 2011. Irise International CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.
Assets and liabilities are wholly recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Incoming resources
All income is recognised once the charity 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.
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to applicable expenditure headings.
Support and governance costs have been split between the fund-raising and charitable activities based
upon staff time. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include those relating statutory compliance and legal fees on constitutional matters.
Staff costs are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on those activities. Costs of charitable activities include governance costs and an apportionment of support costs (shown in note 4).
Expenditure on equipment, fixtures and fittings that exceeds £1,000 is capitalised. All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Currently the charity has no fixed assets.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.
Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund, where material, is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity.
