|**Recognition of income**<br>Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations<br>when receivable.<br>Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the<br>expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income<br>from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance<br>sheet.  On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading<br>activities' and the proceeds from  sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading<br>activities'.<br>Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets<br>and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.<br>These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:<br>• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;<br>·       it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and<br>• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.<br>**Donated goods**<br>**Contractual income and**<br>**performance related**<br>**grants**<br>**Offsetting**<br>There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or<br>permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.<br>**Grants and donations**<br>Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income<br>recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).<br>This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or<br>services or met the performance related conditions.<br>Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be<br>exchanged) unless impractical to do so.<br>In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent<br>that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant<br>only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).<br>**Legacies**<br>Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has<br>been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in<br>the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the<br>charity or have been met.<br>**Government grants**<br>The charity has received government grants in the reporting period<br>**Tax reclaims on**<br>**donations and gifts**<br>Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.<br>Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is<br>treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the<br>terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.<br>Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as<br>income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate<br>heading in the SOFA.<br>The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be<br>the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.<br>In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an<br>expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.<br>**Donated services and**<br>**facilities**<br>Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of<br>the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|
