**Fulham Reach Boat Club** —  Annual Report & Accounts 2024/25 

## **Welcome from the Chair** 

It is my privilege to present Fulham Reach Boat Club's Annual Report for 2024/25 — a year of genuine growth in the scale and ambition of our programmes and the range of communities we serve. We reached close to 2,000 participants across our youth, criminal justice, accessibility and environmental programmes, supported by nearly 500 volunteers whose generosity of time and spirit underpins everything we do. 

Our impact research and data demonstrate clearly the power of sport to change lives, increasing confidence, resilience, focus and aspiration. At the core of this is creating agency: supporting our participants to believe that, step by step, they can shape the future they want. The story of Olt - who joined FRBC through a free school bursary, won British Rowing's Young Volunteer of the Year, and was voted FRBC Coach of the Year 2025 at just 18 - captures perfectly what we are building: a genuine pipeline of talent and belonging, from first session to lifelong connection. 

Youth development remained our central pillar. We delivered termly rowing programmes for 10 state or academy schools, and free watersports weeks in school holidays that provide a safe space for teenagers from areas ranked among the most deprived in England. Our second Youth Boat Race, on the iconic Boat Race course, saw 64 of our student rowers race in front of their families, supporters and (through BBC coverage reaching 28 million) a global audience. Addressed by Mayor Patricia Quigley and Double Paralympic Champion Erin Kennedy OBE, it was a celebration of what rowing looks like when it truly opens its doors. 

Our Boats Not Bars programme, delivered across seven prisons, also reached new levels of impact, achieving a 141% year-on-year increase in sustained engagement after course completion. 41 individuals maintained contact with FRBC after release — through rowing, work placements and housing support. The partnership with HMP Grendon, renowned for its therapeutic culture, reflects the increasingly sophisticated and evidence-based approach our team brings to this sensitive and important work. 

Two major breakthroughs particularly defined this past year. Firstly, our move into ‘adaptive’ rowing, making it accessible for those with disabilities. In April 2025 we launched Row the Rhythm, welcoming blind and visually impaired participants, who described it as a ‘life-changing’ 10 week experience. Following this successful pilot, adaptive rowing has now become a core growth area for us, with future, year-round delivery secured thanks to a generous three-year National Lottery Community Fund grant for 2026-28. 

Secondly, this year saw a step-change in our financial health, driven by outstanding fundraising efforts, enhanced financial disciplines and a revitalised adult and junior paying membership community, who in turn support our charitable programmes as volunteers. This powerful flywheel underpins our current and future success and impact as a community-based charity. We achieved a record level of income, at £1,261,578, and our highest ever surplus of £294,646, taking our Reserves to a healthy level of £1,919,902 to support the ongoing sustainability of our operations. 

FRBC’s unique ‘sport for good’ model - helping tackle social inequalities while caring for the Thames environment - has become a Sport England case study.  My deep gratitude goes to our staff, coaches, volunteers, funders, and supporters — and to our CEO and leadership team for the clarity, ambition, and care with which they guide this organisation. The river has always been a place of possibility. With your continued support, we will keep proving that it belongs to everyone.

## **Chief Executive’s Report** 

2024/25 has been an exceptional year for Fulham Reach Boat Club. Our work has been recognised nationally and internationally, affirming both the strength of our model and the dedication of our staff, coaches, volunteers, trustees and partners.

This year we were proud to launch our 2024/25 Community Impact Report and Video, introducing an updated, evidence-based surveying approach shaped by Sport England guidance and expanded to measure adaptive rowing and environmental action. While we often speak about the power of sport, its true impact is best expressed through the voices of our participants, many of whom feature in our latest impact film. Across the year, FRBC continued to demonstrate how sport can drive meaningful social change by improving health, strengthening inclusion and promoting environmental stewardship. 

Participation remained strong across our four impact pillars: youth development, reducing reoffending (Boats Not Bars), accessible rowing and environmental action. Nearly 2,000 people engaged with our programmes. Under our “inch-wide, mile-deep” philosophy, we focus on delivering deep, high-quality interventions for specific communities while sharing learning openly to enable replication and scale.

**Fulham Reach Boat Club** —  Annual Report & Accounts 2024/25 

## **Youth Development** 

Youth Development remains at the heart of our work. During the year, 826 students from 10 state schools took part in nearly 600 rowing sessions. Eighty-five young people joined our Free Watersport Weeks, representing a 20% increase in participation; 80% were from ethnically diverse backgrounds and 16% had special educational needs. Across all FRBC youth programmes, 40% more participants now meet physical activity guidelines, 89% report improved teamwork skills and 85% report improved mental wellbeing. 

The second Youth Boat Race brought together 64 students from 10 state schools to compete on the iconic Championship Course, reaching a television audience of 28 million. The event continues to challenge perceptions of who belongs in rowing. 

## **Boats Not Bars** 

Our Boats Not Bars programme supported 184 participants during the year and extended our social impact into post release and probation settings. Over 90% reported improved wellbeing and confidence, and sustained post-release contact more than doubled. By combining sport, mentoring and employment pathways, the programme reduces stigma and creates meaningful bridges from prison to community, demonstrating that rowing can be a vehicle for dignity, belonging and second chances. 

## **Accessible Rowing — Row the Rhythm** 

In 2024/25, we launched our first dedicated accessible rowing initiative, Row the Rhythm, opening the sport to blind, visually impaired and disabled participants. Delivered in partnership with VICTA, Love Rowing and Action on Disability, the programme marked a significant step toward year-round accessible rowing at FRBC. Every participant reported improved quality of life, 100% reported improved physical health and social connection, and 86% expressed a desire to continue rowing. One visually impaired participant reflected that rowing at FRBC had become one of the most empowering experiences of their life, highlighting the importance of expectation, belonging and opportunity. 

## **Environmental Action** 

Environmental stewardship remains integral to our mission. Over 400 volunteers participated in river clean-ups and environmental initiatives, removing more than one tonne of rubbish from the Thames and conducting 43 water-quality tests. We also launched our first electric coaching-boat charging station open for river community use, investing in sustainable infrastructure for the future. We are making steps towards reducing our carbon emissions and to support this a research project with BASIS and Loughborough University calculated our scope 1,2, and 3 equated to 13,260 kg CO2e for the previous financial year of 2023/24. This amount of CO2e is approximately equivalent to 3 petrol cars driven for a year. FRBC was featured by Sport England as a model case study of climate leadership, this work reflects our belief that caring for the river is inseparable from caring for our community.

**Fulham Reach Boat Club** —  Annual Report & Accounts 2024/25 

## **Culture & Governance** 

Leadership, culture and governance continue to underpin our impact. FRBC employs and supports more women coaches than men, challenging sector norms and aligning workforce representation with our inclusion values. FRBC was recognised in the Top 100 Great Place to Work for Women, Wellbeing and the Third Sector, demonstrating that inclusive culture drives external equity. 

Safeguarding remains paramount. Through engagement with London Sport Safeguarding support and the UNICEF Pioneers Programme for Safer Sport Cultures, FRBC has both contributed to and benefited from international learning on safeguarding systems and safe sport leadership. 

Financial sustainability is a continued focus and we are proud of another solid year of financial performance. Our resource allocation remains strategically focused on our four impact pillars. We continue to provide subsidised programmes, free holiday activities, accessible equipment and sustainable infrastructure to ensure financial or structural barriers do not determine opportunity. Across all programmes, participants report increased physical activity, improved teamwork, greater confidence and a stronger connection to nature. 

My sincere thanks go to our staff team coaches, participants, members volunteers, trustees, partners and funders whose commitment makes this work possible. Together, we are not only transforming rowing in London, but contributing to a blueprint for equality, inclusion and safe sport globally.

## **Trustees’ Report** 

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of the Company Law, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. 

The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the requirements of the company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP, 2nd edition), applicable to charities preparing their accounts with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Introduction** 

Fulham Reach Boat Club aims to be a Centre of Excellence for Sport for Good, using rowing as a transformative tool for positive change. We promote physical and mental wellbeing, personal growth and social inclusion, especially for underserved communities. 

Our work focuses on three core impact areas: 

- ➢ Youth Development – Supporting young people's physical and mental health. 

- ➢ Crime Reduction – Offering structured opportunities in-prison and post-release to help reduce reoffending. 

- ➢ Accessible Rowing – Making rowing inclusive and adaptable for people with disabilities. 

Across these programmes we embed positive environmental stewardship and advocate for protecting the river through community-led river clean-ups and water quality testing. 

## **Public Benefit Disclosure** 

We refer to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. 

The objectives of the charity are for the benefit of the public generally and the inhabitants of its surrounding area: 

- ➢ To promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing and assisting in providing facilities for boating activities and other sport and games activities capable of promoting health. 

- ➢ To provide and assist in providing facilities for sport, recreation and other leisure time activities for such persons who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances, or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the objective of improving their condition of life. 

And such charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the Trustees may from time to determine.

**Fulham Reach Boat Club** —  Annual Report & Accounts 2024/25 

## **Key Objectives** 

The Trustees have developed five key objectives against which programmes are designed and delivered. 

- ➢ Boost youth participation in rowing, focusing on underserved groups 

- ➢ Reduce reoffending rates through the ‘Boats Not Bars’ initiative 

- ➢ Establish FRBC as a leader in accessible rowing for disabled people 

- ➢ Champion environmental stewardship and community engagement 

- ➢ Ensure organisational sustainability and growth 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was established in February 2014. The company was established under its Articles of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. Charitable status was granted by the Charity’s Commission in May 2015. 

The directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of Charity law. Under the requirements of the Articles of Association, Trustees must retire every two years after which if they offer themselves for re-election they must be re-elected at the next meeting of the Trustees. Trustees retire in the order in which they were elected or by mutual agreement. All Trustees give their time voluntary and have received no benefits or expenses from the charity. A new Trustee may be appointed by ordinary resolution at a general meeting or by other directors at a meeting of the directors. New Trustees are considered on the recommendation of the Board of Trustees. 

In January 2025 the Trustees reappointed Mark Elgar as Trustee for a final two-year term. Mr Elgar was first appointed as a Trustee in April 2014 and so has been a Trustee for 12 years. While the Charity’s Articles of Association do not state a limit to the number of terms a Trustee may serve, good governance usually requires a maximum 10-year term unless there are extenuating circumstances. In this instance, the Trustees voted to reappoint Mr Elgar for one final term due to his critical role as Treasurer for the Charity and the need for continuity in the process of handover from the prior Chair (David Fitzherbert) to the new Chair (Delia Parry) and handover to a new Treasurer for the Charity, which will complete during calendar H2 2026. 

## **Directors’ Responsibilities**

- Annual revenue and capital budgets 

- Financial reporting and controls 

- Quality monitoring and feedback 

- Board memberships and other appointments 

- Remuneration policy and corporate governance 

- Major financial transactions

**Fulham Reach Boat Club** —  Annual Report & Accounts 2024/25 

## **Sub-Committees of the Board** 

There are currently four active subcommittees: Finance; Nominations; Audit & Risk; Fundraising & Marketing; and Remuneration. These subcommittees carry out focused duties between board meetings and report back to the Board of Trustees. 

## **Role of Chair and Chief Executive** 

The Chair is responsible for the leadership, operation and governance of the Board of Trustees and ensuring it operates effectively. The Chief Executive is appointed by the Board to manage the dayto-day operations of the charity and the implementation of the strategic plan and policies as agreed and set by the Board. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The day-to-day operations of the charity are managed by the Chief Executive, a full-time member of staff who reports to the Trustees at quarterly meetings and as necessary at other times. The Trustees retain all decision-making powers and delegate specific roles and responsibilities to the Chief Executive as detailed in the minutes of quarterly meeting of Trustees. 

## **Risk Management** 

The directors review the major risks to which the charity is exposed through a risk register which has been established and is updated at least quarterly. A formal risk management strategy has been established to ensure appropriate systems and procedures are in place to mitigate risks the charity faces. The Trustees consider the main risks to be accidents and injuries to members, students and staff while using the boats and facilities of the Charity. In order to mitigate this risk, the Club adopts the British Rowing RowSafe guidelines and the Port of London’s Tideway Code, and all members and staff are required to be familiar with these guidelines in addition to FRBC’s own Safety Plan. To further enhance safety for new participants, we also introduced an airline style safety video to ensure all critical safety information is communicated.

**Fulham Reach Boat Club** —  Annual Report & Accounts 2024/25 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Financial Performance 2024/25** 

During the year, as per the Statement of Financial Activities, there has been a net surplus in funds in relation to restricted income of £43,385 (2024: deficit of £38,500) and a surplus of £251,261 (2024: surplus of £89,525) in relation to unrestricted funds, giving a total net increase in funds reported for the year of £294,646 (2024: net increase of £51,025). 

## **£1,919,902** 

Total reserves at year-end (2024: £1,625,256) 

**£567,351** Unrestricted funds (2024: £316,090) 

## **£1,352,551** 

Restricted funds (2024: £1,309,166) 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The level and allocation of reserves is reviewed by the Finance Committee and Trustees each year. The charity aims to hold sufficient reserves to further the objectives of the charity.  This includes reviewing future asset replacement and building in some resilience against unforeseen events, which could adversely affect income or increase the cost of the charity. 

## **Operating Cost Reserve (unrestricted)** 

Targeted to cover six months of operating costs.  Based on the total expenditure for 2025 of £1.0m this would have put this target at £0.5m.  As at 31 August 2025 we are holding £400,000 in this reserve, representing an increase of £100,000 on the previous year.  Although it gives comfort that ongoing operations can continue, this only represents 4.9 months of the 6-month target (2024: £300,000 - 3.8 months). 

## **Asset Replacement Reserve (unrestricted)** 

This reserve fund is set aside to cover the cost of replacing assets, such as boats, extension of pontoon ramp and club refurbishment where we are unable to secure targeted fundraising, or if there is an uninsured loss.  This reserve is held at £69,849 (2024: £16,090). 

Registered Charity No: 1161813  |  www.fulhamreachboatclub.com     Page 11 



**Fulham Reach Boat Club** —  Annual Report & Accounts 2024/25 

## **The General Fund (unrestricted)** 

This fund is set aside for general use and is unrestricted.  This fund is held at £97,501 (2024: £Nil). 

## **Capital Grants (restricted)** 

This fund is held for capital investments. This fund is held at £59,551 (2024: £Nil). 

## **Section 106 and Pontoon Replacement Reserve (restricted)** 

This reserve is specifically ringfenced under an agreement between St George Central London Limited (“St George” - the developer of the Fulham Reach development) and the Section 106 agreement as part of their planning permission with the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (“LBH&F”). 

Funds are specifically reserved and need approval from St George before they can be used.  These funds are for the ongoing operations of FRBC at the Fulham Reach development and for use within the LBH&F, for example the purchase of new equipment, running costs of the club or to fund new activities at the site.  The main use of this fund is to hold sufficient funds to repair and replace FRBC’s most significant asset, the pontoon at the development, which is used daily for access and egress to the River Thames and is imperative to the future of FRBC. 

During the year a separate fund was created out of the S106 Reserve to put a dedicated reserve in place for the replacement of the pontoon.  This reserve was based on the updated replacement cost of the Pontoon, provided in October 2024 by the original manufacturer in 2012 (Intermarine).  This replacement cost has been index-linked to RPI to assess the value of the reserve at the financial year end. 

S106 Reserve breakdown: 

|➢|S106 Fund|£192,000|(£1,293,000|- 2024)|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|➢|Pontoon replacement|£1,101,000|(Nil|- 2024)|
|➢|Total|£1,293,000|(£1,293,000|- 2024)|



For more detail refer to note 15 of the financial statements (Statement of funds). 

On 15 December 2021 the remaining Section 106 funds (£1.293m including indexation) were transferred from St George to FRBC to be held in a designated fund. Any utilisation of the funding requires St George approval and can be used to fund the ongoing operations of the Fulham Reach site and new equipment and activities within the LBH&F. 

The availability of these reserves and funding facilities provide assurance to the Trustees of the charity continuing as a going concern.

**Fulham Reach Boat Club** —  Annual Report & Accounts 2024/25 

## **Going Concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, assuming that Fulham Reach Boat Club will continue its operations for the foreseeable future. 

Accordingly, the Trustees have concluded that the are no material uncertainties about the club’s ability to continue as a going concern and consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on this basis. 

## **Principal Funding Sources** 

The charity raises funds from voluntary income, fundraising events, the provision of services, and grant aid funding.

**Fulham Reach Boat Club Financial Statements Year ended 31 August 2025** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## **General Information** 

Fulham Reach Boat Club is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital.  In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.  The registered address of the charity is detailed in the reference and administrative details page. 

## **Accounting Policies** 

## 2.1 **Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP 2nd edition (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) ‐ 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), Section 1A the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. 

Fulham Reach Boat Club 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 preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.  It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3). 

The functional currency of the company is pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates.  All figures are rounded to the nearest £1. 

The following principal accounting policies have been applied: 

## 2.2 **Going concern** 

Financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern. 

Cash at bank as at 31 August 2025 was £1,187,389 along with a further investment balance of £659,160. 

Accordingly, the Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties about the club's ability to continue as a going concern and consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on this basis. 

Page 21 



**Fulham Reach Boat Club Financial Statements Year ended 31 August 2025** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## 2.3 **Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has en�tlement to the funds, any performance condi�ons a�ached to the items of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Grant funding of a general nature that are not subject to terms or performance related condi�ons are recognised when the formal offer of funding is communicated to the charity.  Where grants are subject to terms of performance related condi�ons, they are recognised in income when the condi�ons have been met, and the charity is en�tled to receive the related funding. 

Memberships and tui�on fees are recognised in the period to which they relate. 

Income from other trading ac�vi�es comprises income received from facility hire and sale of merchandise and is recognised at the �me of hire or at the �me of sale. 

## **Donated services and facili�es** 

Donated professional services and donated facili�es are recognised as income when the charity has control over them, any condi�ons 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.  Assets donated to the charity are treated as capitalised as fixed assets and the fair value of the dona�on credited to income in the year. 

## 2.4 **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or construc�ve obliga�on to move a payment to actual expenditure, it is probable that se�lement will be required, and the amount of the obliga�on is accounted for on an accrual basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs to the category.  Where costs cannot be directly a�ributed to headings, they have been allocated to ac�vi�es on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.  Support costs include governance costs incurred in the governance of the Charity within are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

Page 22 



**Fulham Reach Boat Club Financial Statements Year ended 31 August 2025** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## **Expenditure on raising funds** 

These are costs which are directly related to the raising of voluntary donations and grants and publicising the activities of the charity. 

## **Allocation of support costs** 

Supports costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities.  Support costs include back‐office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's activities.  These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.  The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 5. 

## 2.5 **Intangible assets and amortisation** 

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. 

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of an intangible fixed asset, net of anticipated disposal proceeds, over the useful economic life. 

Amortisation is provided on the following basis: 

- Computer software – 20% straight line 

## 2.6 **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost.  After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at costs less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. 

At each reporting date the charity assesses whether there is any indication of impairment.  If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell land its value in use.  An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight‐line method. Depreciation is provided on the following basis: 

- Leasehold property ‐ 2% Straight line 

- Fixtures and fittings ‐ 20% Straight line 

- Computer equipment ‐ 20% Straight line 

- Boat equipment ‐ 20% Straight line

**Fulham Reach Boat Club Financial Statements Year ended 31 August 2025** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## 2.7 **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## 2.8 **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 months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## 2.9 **Investments** 

Current asset investments, including short‐term deposits and money market funds, are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) in accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) as they arise 

## 2.10 **Creditors** 

Creditors 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## 2.11 **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. 

## 2.12 **Holiday pay accrual** 

A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which has accrued at the balance sheet date and carried forward to future periods.  This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the balance sheet date. 

Page 24 



**Fulham Reach Boat Club Financial Statements Year ended 31 August 2025** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## 2.13 **Leased assets** 

Where assets are financed by leasing arrangements that give rights approximating to ownership (finance leases), the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable over the term of the lease. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as amounts payable to the lessor. Depreciation on the relevant assets is charged to the profit or loss over the shorter of estimated useful economic life and the term of the lease. 

Lease payments are analysed between capital and interest components so that the interest element of the payment is charged to profit or loss over the term of the lease and is calculated so that it represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.  The capital part reduces the amounts payable to the lessor. 

All other leases are treated as operating leases. Their annual rentals are charged to profit or loss on a straight‐line basis over the term of the lease. 

## 2.14 **Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme, and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year. 

## 2.15 **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds and designated 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 is included in the notes to the financial statements (Note 15). 

## 3 **Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement** 

The trustees consider that there are no key judgements that management have made in the process of applying the company’s accounting policies and that may have had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
