Reserves policy
The trustees do not currently have a reserves policy as the charily does not employ staff or acquire any liabilities. At an appropriate time the trustees are likely to adopt a policy of at least three months running costs.
Financial Overview
The trustees consider this year's reserves position is reasonable as it is positive although is not enough to fulfill all obligations expected within the next 12 months. However the foundation expects reasonable amount of donations to fund its projects.

FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorizing these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognized in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, ii is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
For donations to be recognized the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then the income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfillment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is usually upon notification of interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognized as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to a particular heading they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
12
Charitable activities – this comprises the direct costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity, Including grants payable and all associated support costs.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside the central of the charity.
Expenditure continued
Support costs are those that assist in the work of the charity but do not directly represent Charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative and payroll costs. They are included directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Taxation
