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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. There are no significant areas of judgement or assumptions that affect items in the financial statements with respect to the next reporting period. 3 Investment income 2021 2020 Dividends - UK Equities Dividends - Overseas Equities 231.810 505,790 737,600 136,329 517,908 654,237 4 Charitable expenditure Grants to Institutions Support C05t 2021- Analysis of grants Total Abernethy Trust Alpha Scotland Bethany Christian Trust Bible Reading Fellowship Caring for Life City Evangelical Church Ferrywell Youth Project Freedom Network International Gateway Church Healthy Living Holy Trinity Wester Hailes International Justice Mission Justcaring Kick London Killin Church of Scotland MACS Niddrie Community Church Operacion San Andres Oriel Ministries Pecan 37,500 loo,000 s,000 75,000 1,000 5,000 69,828 2S,000 7,723 25,000 60,000 435,000 2,000 75,000 30,000 5,000 5,075 17,850 63,500 25,000 2,767 7,380 369 5,535 74 40,267 107,380 5,369 80,535 1,074 5,369 74.981 26,845 8,293 26,845 64.428 467.103 2,148 80,535 32,214 5.369 5.450 19,167 68,186 26,845 369 5,153 1,845 570 1,845 4,428 32,103 148 5,535 2,214 369 375 1,317 4,686 1,845 1211 THE FYRISH FOUNDATION CIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 4 Charitable expenditure Icontinuedl Rock Community Church St Columba's The C3 Church The Feast The Nasio Trust The Southmead Project Time Nolfolk Wellspring Family Centre 182,779 45,000 5,000 2,5(10 4,000 25,000 5,000 25,000 1.363.755 13,489 3,321 369 196,268 48,321 5,369 2,684 4,295 26,845 5,369 26,845 1.464.400 184 295 1,845 369 1,845 100.645 Support costs are allocated based upon the proportion of the grant awarded versus total grants.
