The aim is set out in the Report of the Trustees. The organisation believes in being fair, open and inclusive.
Achievements and Performance
a. Review of Activities
The CIO was registered on 5 May 2015. During the periods ended 5" April 2016 and 2017 the ClO did not carry out any activities and it did not have any assets.
During the year ended 5" April 2018 the CIO assets were legally transferred to it.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charities Commissions general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the ClO’s aims and objectives.
New Trustees are appointed in accordance with the constitution based on the skills and knowledge required.
b. Investment Policy and Performance
The Trustees will endeavour, to build up reserves which will be required in the long term to meet the cost of major enhancement works. The Trust has little investment income and the only real source of income, to build up reserves, is from the rental income received.
Financial Review
a. Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operationa! existence for the foreseeable future. For this

The Elton Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ending 5" April 2021
1. Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing the accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of treland (FRS102) (effective from 1% January 2015) — (charities SORP) (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic Ireland (FRS102).
Under FRS 102 the assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Income
All income is recognised once the CIO has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer the economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that the transfer of the economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of asset’s use.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Charity activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
1.4 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading Gains/(losses) on investments in the financial activities.
The Elton Trust
1. Accounting Policies (Continued)
1.5 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 and payable by the Bank.
1.6 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.7 Cash at Bank and in hand
Cash at Bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three month or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.8 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
1.9 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.
1.10 Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the ClO and which have been designated for other purposes.
