Reclasslflcatlon of funds
Durinq the preporation of these financial staternents. the trustees reviewed the classification of the Legacy Fund reca¥ed in
2018. Following thi5 review, It was deterrnined that the legacy was received without any donor-Imp05ed restrictions and had
therefore previovsly been Ircorrectly classified as è restricted fund,
The fund ha5 been reclasslfled as an unrestritted fund. The rrustees subsoouently deslgnèted the ffund for youth work
purposes, and accordirwJly it is presÈntÈd as a dÈsignated fund within unrestnEted funds. CamparativÈ figurès have been
restated to reflert the correthon of the pr￿T penod ela$sification.
This redassifitation has no Impact on the charity's totsl funds or assets.
