The financial statements have been prepared to give a Irue and fairf view and have departed from

recognised at the time of the donation.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit
to a Ihird paty. 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 attributsble 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 allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

1.6 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised )hhen there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or
the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where
the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
1.7 Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign Cu￿enCieS are translated into sterting at rates
of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
