NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

i. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General information
Fleet Hospital and Community Friends is a charitable body established under a trust deed and registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The registered address is 2 Wellington Avenue, Fleet, Hampshire, GUS1 3BF and details of the principal activities are set out in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) — 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 and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Fleet Hospital and Community Friends constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has received the income.
Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on a payments basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category.
Grants payable are payments made in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity and are accounted for as paid.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulations and good practice.
Financial Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Going Concern
The Trustees believe that the Charity’s services will be in continued demand in the future. However, given the level of reserves and the nature of the Charity’s activities, they believe the Charity will continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The accounts have therefore been prepared on the going concern basis.
The notes on pages 5 to 8 form part of these accounts.
