TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2024, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their annual accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015).
1. Business Description
The Windfall Centre is a charity providing the services of trained and experienced professionals supporting the emotional health, welfare and development of children and families. We provide therapeutic support through a variety of proven therapy interventions for children and young people suffering distress arising from trauma, abuse or adversity. We also provide training and consultancy, and supervision to other practicing Play Therapists.
1.1 History of Business Development
Windfall was started as a private not-for-profit business in 2011, by one present and one former therapist, who identified a need for these services in Mid Wales. The business has grown significantly in recent years and became a registered charity in 2016. The therapeutic team has expanded from an initial two therapists, to seven, allowing the service to expand geographically as well as including additional expertise.
1.2 Located in Llandrindod Wells, the Centre initially provided services for children and families in Powys but, due to increased demand, is now also active in South and West Wales as well. Therapeutic programmes have developed and now include Play Therapy, Filial Therapy and Art psychotherapy. The Nurturing Families programme draws on Play Therapy to support mothers and little ones under five to strengthen the caregiver relationship and promote secure attachment. Other programmes have included outreach provision in both north and south of Powys to address long travelling times for some children to attend the Centre. Finally, in response to the dearth of other services for troubled young adults in our area, our Creative Counselling service remains on offer.
2. Our Purpose and Values
The purposes of The Windfall Centre are to:
-
Support the emotional and mental health of children and young people through the delivery of play therapy and related therapeutic interventions
-
Encourage and support the parents and carers of the children referred to us by establishing close, nonjudgemental relationships offering advice and guidance as appropriate
-
Support referring professionals and the wider professional network through consultation, training, seminars and bringing in expert speakers.
2.1 Our Aspiration and Values
We aim to be the leading non-statutory provider of Play Therapy and related therapeutic interventions for children and young people in the areas we serve; which currently include Powys and South and West Wales.
2.2 The Windfall Centre is founded on the passionate belief in the right of all children and young people to develop to their full potential and where that development needs a helping hand, they are entitled to the highest professional service.
2.3 We base our philosophy in the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child and especially Article 3 which states that every organisation involved with children should work towards what is best for each child. Our vision accords with the Welsh Government’s Well-being of Future Generations Act 2015. Our Safeguarding policy and procedures similarly conform to the Safeguarding Procedures Wales 2020.

3.2 Staff
Clare Hurford – Service Manager
Clare joined the team in August 2019 as Finance/Admin Officer, moving into a Service Manager role in 2021. With a background in accounting, Clare has taken on more responsibility in this time including implementing new accountancy software, re-designing a website and arranging the opening of new clinics. Clare has joint overall responsibility for the efficient running of The Windfall Centre and its therapeutic services, accountable and reporting to the Board of Trustees.
Clare takes all opportunities to positively promote The Windfall Centre and the services it provides; especially by creating and establishing excellent professional relationships within the team and with Patrons, external agencies, clients and commissioners as well as donors and prospective donors.
Clare actively promotes an organisational culture valuing equality, respect, co-operation, diversity and inclusion, shared learning, professional development, best practice and aspiring to the highest professional practice in delivering services to the children, young people and families referred to the service.
A large aspect of the Service Manager role is to apply for funding to help self-referring families access the therapeutic support they need, and this year Clare has successfully secured over £75,000 in grant funding for The Windfall Centre.
Outside the office Clare enjoys caring for her three young children, reading and watching films. (employed full-time)

THE WINDFALL CENTRE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
5. Business Structure
The Windfall Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee with a board of directors who also act as Trustees of the charity. The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 2016. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. None of our Trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. The chair of the Trustees is nominated by the Trustees and Trustees serve for a minimum of 2 years.
5.1 Management of the Service
The day-to-day management of the service is delegated by the Trustees to the Service Manager. All the therapists operate on a self-employed basis, being paid according to face-to-face therapy hours, and occasional meetings. The Service Manager is now a full-time post and provides invaluable admin and financial support to the team and the trustees.
5.2 The Windfall Centre Premises
The Windfall Centre is located in Llandrindod Wells, being central to the county of Powys. The Centre’s premises are welcoming, informal, comfortable and discreet. The playrooms are spacious, well equipped, light and airy. A young person’s counselling room has recently been established. A kitchen and waiting/Family room are available and refreshments are freely available for parents/carers while they wait for their child. There is also a larger Meeting Room which is used for Trustee meetings, training and seminars. A recent addition is the basement which has added an Art Psychotherapy room, a Playroom fitted with cameras and an observation room for Filial Therapy. This basement has allowed The Windfall Centre to provide disabled access via a ramp and every accommodation is made for those who require assistance to access the service. The premises are rented and there is a good relationship with the landlord who is very supportive of the service.
5.3 The service in South and West Wales is currently delivered from a rented room in a private therapy centre in Cowbridge as well as a private therapy space in Abergorlech. All the premises used by The Windfall Centre are carefully assessed as to health and safety, ease of access and lone working considerations. A wide range of toys and equipment is available at each location.
5.4 In 2023-2024 the Windfall Centre has three new outreach clinics in Newtown and Llanelli to respond to the needs of the clients.
6. Therapeutic programmes
The main therapeutic programmes we offer are non-directive Play Therapy and Filial Therapy and we anticipate that these will continue to form the core of our service. Programmes are offered following an Intake meeting with parents/carers and/or referring professionals. Play therapy programmes usually comprise 20 weekly sessions plus at least 2 parent/carer reviews. Filial therapy programmes are shorter at 16 weeks.
6.1 Play therapy is an acknowledged intervention for children ranging from those who are struggling emotionally to those at risk of deteriorating mental health. It has proved very effective for children with behavioural or other social difficulties and for those trying to cope with major life events such as bereavement, loss or family breakdown. It is a valuable therapeutic tool for children who have suffered major trauma or abuse, eg; children in Care. It can particularly help those with learning or communication difficulties or for whom English is not a first language. Through play and the therapeutic relationship, children can invite an insight into their emotional world, work through traumatic experiences, explore solutions to dilemmas and master their emotions and thoughts.
6.2 Filial therapy is a unique therapeutic model, evolved from play therapy, which strives to enhance the child-parent relationship by empowering the carer with new ways to interact with the child. Following instruction and supportive supervision by an experienced therapist, caregivers can then act directly as therapeutic support to their child. This model can be especially valuable to foster and adoptive parents by enhancing the child-carer attachment relationship.
6.3 The Nurturing Families Programme draws on Filial Therapy to support mothers and little ones under five to strengthen the mother-child relationship and promote secure attachment. The programme is funded by The National Lottery for a period of three year from 2022.
6.4 The Specialist Counselling service was established as a pilot service in response to a request from the Powys Detached Youth Service (PDYS) and each referral is purchased separately by them. These referrals are for young people, 16 to 25yrs, who are often socially dis-engaged, on the edge of, or already involved in, the criminal justice system and/or who may have mental health difficulties un-addressed by any other service. The demand for this
- 5 -
THE WINDFALL CENTRE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
service is low and there have been inevitable difficulties in engagement and in geography. However, we intend to keep the service available while we can.
6.5 Art Psychotherapy allows children and young people to express themselves, not only through drawing or painting but in three dimensional creations with clay and many other materials.
6.6 Commissioners
Referrals to our service are purchased by commissioners on an individual basis. Our main commissioners are
-
Powys Early Help for children needing a service beyond the universal ones, to promote their health or development;
-
Powys Children’s Services for children who may be on the child protection register as in need of a child protection plan, or children being fostered in the Care System. These children, almost by definition have suffered considerable emotional trauma, abuse or neglect.
-
Other local authorities. Recent examples include Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Swansea.
6.8 We also received 88% of private referrals and these are funded either by the parents or from funding secured through grants.
7. What makes The Windfall Centre special?
7.1 Our Therapists
All the active play and filial therapists are registered with the British Association of Play Therapists and accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. They are all qualified to Masters’ level and have all undergone their own therapy as is expected for this high level of training. Our other therapists and counsellor are similarly accredited to their respective professional body. All have wide prior experience working with children and young people in a variety of contexts. In addition to their therapeutic knowledge, the theoretical underpinnings of the team’s approach include a clear and nuanced understanding of Attachment theory and neurodevelopment, especially the effects of abuse and early trauma on the developing brain and the child’s emotional development. This draws on the work of acknowledged experts such as Bessel Van der Kolk and Bruce Perry amongst many others.
7.2 A Team Approach
In contrast to many independent play therapists, child psychotherapists or psychologists working alone in private practice, our staff are a close-knit and cohesive team with a shared ethos in supporting the emotional health of children and families in our areas. In addition to regular supervision and continuing professional development, the therapeutic team meets regularly to share knowledge, experience and practice issues. This builds a consistency of practice and shared skills, without limiting the individual therapist’s own style.
7.3 Evaluation
Evaluation is at the core of our work, and we seek creative ways to make this meaningful to our service provision and development. Strengths and Difficulties questionnaires are administered on commencement and ending of all therapeutic programmes. Additionally, staff use an internal ‘Therapeutic Progress Measure’ compiled and rated together with parents/carers to measure progress throughout the programme. Shortly after the end of a programme of therapy parents/carers and the child are invited to give feedback on their experience. (See Appendix)
7.4 Value for money
We believe that access to our services and to the professional knowledge of our staff should be as easy as possible. We have a sliding scale of fees for private referrals and offer a free initial Intake meeting for these referrals. This is an opportunity for parents/carers to think together with two therapists to better understand the needs of the child and what might be contributing to the child’s difficulties. We automatically offer support and consultation to the foster carers we work with and to the referring social workers, as well as working closely with school staff where necessary.

THE WINDFALL CENTRE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
7.5 Public Benefit
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. At the end of each programme of therapy, both parents and children are invited to evaluate their experience. The evaluations received have been overwhelmingly positive and illustrate the public benefit of our service. Considering the wider public benefit, the Trustees also recognise that addressing early trauma and adversity can have a later effect in reducing anti-social behaviour and contributing to safer communities as well as building individual resilience.
7.6 Additionally, the training, consultation and delivery of seminars and conferences undertaken by our staff, contributes to the professional development of many allied professionals in the wider professional environment with a hoped for knock-on beneficial effect on other services.

9. Client Profile
9.1 Children and young people who are experiencing difficulties that could be related to their mental health are usually first identified within Tier 1 services, for example by a teacher, GP or health visitor. Similarly, parents/carers who identify their child as experiencing difficulties will usually first seek help from services at that level. Four tiers comprise the NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health service (CAMHS). Children and young people with an identified need may be subsequently referred into specialist CAMH services (falling within Tiers 2–4) for assessment
- 7 -
THE WINDFALL CENTRE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
and intervention if necessary. The therapeutic services offered by The Windfall Centre fall within Tier 2 and Tier 3 as illustrated below.
9.2 Tier 2 practitioners offer consultation to families and other practitioners. They identify severe or complex needs requiring more specialist intervention, assessment (which may lead to treatment at a different tier), and training to practitioners at Tier 1 level. Practitioners at Tier 3 provide a service for children and young people with more severe, complex and persistent disorders. Practitioners include:
-
child and adolescent psychiatrists
-
social workers
-
clinical psychologists
-
community psychiatric nurses
-
child psychotherapists
-
occupational therapists, and
-
art, music, play and drama therapists.
9.3 As previously indicated, The Windfall Centre works with children where they and/or their parents may be struggling with life events such as divorce or family reconstitution or, at the other end of the spectrum, children who have suffered extremes of abuse and neglect and are severely traumatised. Despite their circumstances these children do not usually reach the threshold for a service from CAMHS. A skilled therapeutic intervention and close working with other professionals is essential in these cases, often, for fostered children, to ensure the child does not experience multiple placements within the Care system.
10. Financial Situation and Risk management
10.1 The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces, the establishment of policies, systems, and procedures to mitigate those risks and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. The financial sustainability is a potential risk for the charity.
10.2 Attention has also been focussed on non-financial risks such as the health and safety of therapists and children and families using the centre. Paramount among these is safeguarding children and young people from risk of abuse, neglect or professional misconduct. They also include the physical safety of staff and centre users as well as professional lone working. These risks are managed by ensuring a robust policy and procedure is in place, and regular awareness training for staff and trustees.
10.3 The Windfall Centre is currently receiving income from services purchased by Local Authorities including Powys County Council, Swansea Council and Carmarthenshire Council. Self-referrals are funded by parents and carers with the help of grant funding secured by the Service Manager throughout the year.
10.4 The funding from Local Authorities leaves us exposed to the vagaries of social services budgets which are themselves dependant on the wider economic climate. A significant drop in referrals could leave The Windfall Centre struggling to survive. It is a cruel irony that when public sector budgets are being drastically cut, the services the Windfall Centre provides are more needed than ever.

THE WINDFALL CENTRE LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
10.5 Secondly, it is apparent that many more children could benefit from the services we offer, often as an early intervention, but the funds for this are not available. Few parents can self-fund and The Windfall Centre aims to help in this area by applying for grant funding to raise money for therapeutic support.
10.6 Thirdly, out of necessity, we keep our fees to the statutory services as low as is viable in recognition of the constraints on budgets.
10.7 These have been the significant drivers in the move to charitable status. The Trustees have addressed these risks by the establishment of a standing ‘Finance and Fundraising’ sub-committee with the brief to ensure core funding as well as funding for initiatives. This work is guided by a fundraising strategy.
10.8 This is our eighth year as an established charity and the figures for the year-end financial situation can be seen at the bottom of the balance sheet attached.

12. Marketing
The majority of referrals to our service are purchased by commissioners, mostly local authorities, on an individual basis, so the need for the kind of marketing required by manufacturing or commercial service businesses does not arise. Instead, The Windfall Centre undertakes marketing initiatives by targeting influencers and a wide range of local authority, health care and other professionals to persuade them of the benefits of referring children and young people to The Windfall Centre for therapy.
The aim of our marketing activity is to promote The Windfall Centre as a centre of excellence in the provision of play therapy and related interventions in the areas we serve which include Powys and South and West Wales. We currently employ the following marketing tools:
12.1 Website. The Windfall Centre website gives a clear indication of the range of therapeutic interventions available from Windfall, demonstrates how they work and how to access them. The site is regularly updated as new information and new programmes become available. www.windfallcentre.co.uk
12.2 Leaflets. There is an individual leaflet available for each therapeutic programme provided by The Windfall Centre, replicating information published on the website.
12.3 Conferences and Training. The Windfall Centre has delivered two very successful conference for professionals in the fields of social care and children’s mental health, and more would be welcomed. Key note speakers invited to participate included some of the most respected and best-known practitioners in their fields of expertise. At each event, delegates got ample opportunity to meet our therapists and learn about the work of The Windfall Centre.
12.4 Social Media. The Windfall Centre maintains a Facebook page and LinkedIn Page with a new blog added in July 2022 to the new website.
12.5 Community Events. Where indicated, The Windfall Centre personnel provide an active presence at targeted events within the local communities they serve, especially where this might contribute to fundraising.
13. Conclusion
Wales NHS estimates more than 40% of young people in Wales, show risk factors for adverse mental health, 30-40% may at some time experience a problem and up to 25% may have a recognisable disorder. The current Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Sally Holland, found in her consultations across Wales that children's and young people’s mental and emotional health was the most pressing concern for them.
Additionally, in their first report, the Welsh Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) and Resilience Study, conducted by Public Health Wales and Bangor University (2018) focussed on mental illness. From their survey of adults in Wales, they identified how individuals who suffered ACEs were at significantly increased risk of mental illness. Compared with people with no ACEs, those reporting four or more were over 3 times more likely to report current mental illness, six times more likely to report lifetime mental illness and nine times more likely to report ever having felt suicidal. In addition to physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect, adverse childhood experiences include living in a family with domestic abuse, alcohol and drug related problems and parental mental ill-health.
With a highly skilled team and a committed Trustee group, the Windfall Centre is well placed to expand its therapeutic services and reach more children and young people struggling with many difficult emotional issues.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Windfall Centre Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 20 December 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WINDFALL CENTRE LIMITED
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Windfall Centre Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements 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 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Windfall Centre Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Bron Yr Eglwys, Lower Chapel, Brecon, Powys, LD3 9RE, Wales.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 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. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 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 are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 20% reducing balance Computers 20% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

THE WINDFALL CENTRE LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1 Accounting policies
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
