Acheivement and Performance
During this financial year, the charity continued to provide information and resources for those affected by SCAD, as well as healthcare professionals, via our website, leaflets, education events, videos and social media; and support those affected by SCAD via email, phone, social media and our Buddy Service.
We completed the process of updating our website, which is an important part of our strategy to raise awareness of SCAD, support patients and fundraise for more research. We continue to work with the web consultant to monitor website performance and analytics as well as updating and improving content.
The trustees are very grateful to all the volunteers and supporters who contributed time and money to support the charity.
Several events were held by the charity and supporters to raise £70,153 (2023: £70,749, adjusted).

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or Offsetting permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income Grants and donations recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period
Government grants The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the Tax reclaims on donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift donations and gifts and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or performance related services or met the performance related conditions. grants Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be Donated goods exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of facilities the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.
Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described Volunteer help in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable royalties and dividends can be measured reliably. Income from membership Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations subscriptions and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other claims income in the SoFA. Investment gains and This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
Investment gains and s c udes a y ea sed o u ea sed ga s o osses o t e sa e o est e ts a d losses any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
| 2.3 EXPENDITURE | AND LIABILITIES |
|---|---|
| Liability recognition | Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or |
| constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of | |
| the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. | |
| Governance and support costs |
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. |
| Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost | |
| categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs | |
| by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their | |
| usage. | |
| Grants with performance conditions |
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. |
| Grants payable without performance conditions |
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. |
| Redundancy cost | The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. |
| Deferred income | No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. |
| Creditors | The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts |
| A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently | |
| Provisions for liabilities | measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the |
| reporting date | |
| Basic financial instruments |
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. |
| 2.4 ASSETS | |
| Tangible fixed assets for | These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least |
| use by charity | |
| They are valued at cost. | |
| The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. | |
| Intangible fixed assets | The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have |
| physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody | |
| or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 | |
| They are valued at cost. | |
| Heritage assets | The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, |
| scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and | |
| maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation | |
| rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. | |
| They are valued at cost. | |
| Investments | Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are |
| valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year | |
| end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be | |
| measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. | |
| Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a | |
| maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments | |
| Stocks and work in | Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable |
| progress | value. |
| Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based | |
| on the service potential provided by items of stock. | |
| Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. | |
| Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at | |
| Debtors | settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they |
| are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. | |
| The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash | |
| Current asset | equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash |
| investments | equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet |
| short term cash commitments as they fall due. |
