Little Lifts Trustees’ Annual Report

“This Box is not just a collection of items; it is a manifestation of compassion and understanding. In the midst of the physical and emotional toll that cancer treatment takes, your thoughtful gift has managed to uplift my spirits in a way words cannot fully express. It is, without a doubt, the most considerate and heartfelt gift I have ever received.” Saba received her Box via The Little Kindness Fund

A message from our Founder, Oa Hackett

Little Lifts continues to be one of the most incredible journeys. The idea for our charity was inspired by the kindness I received during my breast cancer treatment. It all began eight years ago with a group of people gathered around my kitchen table. On 23[rd] November 2017, I received a call from Oncology Nurse and former Trustee Tracey, informing me that she had distributed the first Box, and we both cried. Knowing that someone about to start their chemotherapy treatment had received our Box stirred a lot of emotions. We had worked hard to fundraise and developed a Box filled with carefully selected products to provide practical and emotional support to people during their treatment. Little Lifts was finally out there.

2024 was Little Lifts’ seventh year, and what a year it was! It also marked ten years since my cancer diagnosis, with 2024 fondly becoming the ‘Year of Tens’. Our ambitious target for the year was to deliver 10,000 Little Lifts Boxes and for me to take on ten challenges throughout the year. Little Lifts continues to work with 10 NHS hospitals across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. The Little Kindness Fund allows anyone living in the UK undergoing breast cancer treatment to apply for a Little Lifts Box, free of charge, on our website.

On 31[st] May 2024, I had the honour of delivering our 20,000[th] Little Lifts Box to Addenbrooke’s Hospital alongside our volunteer Graham, who lost both his wife and daughter to breast cancer. The local and national press covered this milestone. Demand for our Little Kindness Fund grew, so we drew on our reserves and developed our Little Kindness Fund Portal, enabling us to receive more applications from both breast cancer patients and medical professionals, and to store them more securely. This cost the charity £8,000 to develop and allowed our Box distribution via The Little Kindness Fund to increase by 64% compared to 2023, delivering 5,577 Boxes compared to 2,844 in 2023. Special thanks are due to Spacemasks and The Alborada Trust for their generous support of this fund.

In October 2024, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of our Surgery Box at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital – a pilot kindly funded by The Paul Bassham Charitable Trust. The success of this pilot led to us receiving a grant from the National Lottery Awards for All to continue this support. In the same month, we introduced the Surgery Box to our Little Kindness Fund, and in the final quarter of the year, we provided 378 Surgery Boxes to

2

people undergoing this treatment for breast cancer. In November 2024, we took on a new space within our building and designated these rooms to support the packing of our Surgery Boxes and host meetings. We were able to do this thanks to Cancer Community Chest, Source One Consulting, Parasol Blinds and pro bono legal support from Mills & Reeves.

Support for our Boxes grew beyond their original scope, and throughout the year, we held a series of Community Clubs – opportunities for people to connect and develop peer-to-peer support. Activities included a sailing experience thanks to The Nancy Oldfield Trust, an Afternoon Tea with The Assembly House, a Glam Session with John Lewis, and Yoga kindly hosted by Paddy & Scott’s. A total of 72 individuals affected by breast cancer accessed these events. Thanks to funds raised by our Ambassador, Laura Middleton-Hughes, we were able to host our first-ever Retreat for women living with secondary breast cancer. This event, held at Norfolk Bound, featured 14 women participating in a series of mindfulness activities, enjoying nutritious food, and connecting with each other. Feedback was 100% positive, with one participant saying, “This was a chance to have a break from the normal routine and hospital appointments. It provided me with an opportunity to spend time with others living with secondary breast cancer.”

I am so proud that we have developed various ways for breast cancer patients to access our support. It demonstrates that we listen, adapt, and respond to the needs of those affected by breast cancer and that we have the capacity to make a further impact at minimal cost to the organisation, without affecting our primary objective of distributing Boxes.

We continue to work diligently to establish the reputation of Little Lifts while upholding our core values by listening to feedback from our hospital partners and those affected by breast cancer. Despite the limited resources within our fundraising function, I am proud of what we have accomplished. We were able to offer a range of fundraising initiatives to support the development and sustainability of income streams. This included our second-ever Trail Run, raising over £20,000, our corporate fundraising challenge increased its income by 257%, raising £50,000, and our Annual Ball raised over £50,000 – it was the most spectacular night! We continue to receive stable income from Trusts and Foundations, and I extend my sincere thanks for ongoing support from Art for Cure, Pink Ribbon Foundation, The Paul Bassham Charitable Trust, and The Alborada Trust, who have committed to a three-year funding relationship, donating £50,000 each year. We continue to witness an increase in Community Fundraisers in response to individuals seeing a loved one receive a Little Lifts Box via The Little Kindness Fund, as well as breast cancer patients taking on their own fundraising as a way of giving back. Our Little Lifts Community never ceases to amaze me!

The ‘Year of Tens’ was a busy one made fun by the challenges I took on thanks to a giant Box made by Thompson Packaging and inflatable boobs funded by Insurance With. From running in the Box to walking on fire and packing Boxes for 24 hours, I was proud to spread awareness and raise £10,000 to support our work.

3

Every day, we receive messages and feedback from people who have received our support. This is what continues to motivate us to grow our charity, spread kindness, and support more people affected by breast cancer. In July, I was deeply proud to receive a British Citizen Award for my services to healthcare. I cannot thank every person enough who wholeheartedly believes in Little Lifts because I could not do it without you.

A special thank you

I want to give wholehearted thanks to some very special people and organisations who generously supported us in 2024:

Message from our Chair, Karyn Maier

We continue to see the powerful and uplifting impact our Little Lifts Boxes have on individuals during their breast cancer treatment. This ongoing experience drives our determination to seize every opportunity to further the growth of the charity because at the heart of everything we do is our ambition to realise Little Lifts’ vision of supporting as many people with breast cancer as we can every year.

Despite a very busy 12 months, Little Lifts has continued in its mission to respond in meaningful and caring ways to the needs of people affected by breast cancer. As part of this, in 2024, we recognised the necessity of allocating funds to invest in the development of an online portal for our Little Kindness Fund to continue supporting as many people as possible across the UK, which we have followed through on with a great improvement to our efficiency and reach. We also introduced our Surgery Box, which has been gratefully received by our hospital partnership (NNUH) as well as beneficiaries. Alongside our new developments, we have, of course, continually assessed how to ensure we continue our day-to-day operations in the safest, most effective ways possible, always supported by an ongoing set of considered financial reviews and planning to ensure a robust and secure future for our charity.

Another key priority in 2024 was to continuously assess and adjust, as required, our staff overheads* to increase capacity in terms of;

*The number of staff did not increase, but we increased hours to support fundraising and community engagement management.

Our vision, combined with thoughtful financial planning, has allowed us to establish a strong foundation for us to continue growing our support for more individuals affected by breast cancer. We are constantly evaluating and learning from the community we serve, and our activities throughout 2024, including the addition of Community Clubs, show that people impacted by breast cancer are always at the centre of our decision-making. As Trustees, it is a privilege to witness first-hand the profound impact and tangible benefits Little Lifts has, not only on the direct recipients of our Boxes and their families, but also on the everexpanding community of volunteers, partner organisations, and sponsors. The feedback we receive weekly serves as a continual reminder of how genuinely life-enhancing our work at Little Lifts is.

Every year, we are grateful for our dedicated and growing group of Hospital Partnerships, and we appreciate the enthusiasm of our Little Lifts Community, volunteers, and the

5

support from individuals and organisations who have donated funds and resources to aid our work. Particular thanks go to our Platinum Supporters, Sinclair International and Poultec Training Ltd, Patron Harriet Inglis at Spacemasks, Art for Cure for their continued support of our work in Suffolk, Pink Ribbon Foundation for its ongoing funding of our Chemotherapy Packing Room, and to The Alborada Trust for helping us grow our Little Kindness Fund.

We must also give thanks to the drive and determination of our CEO and Founder, Oa, who we were so pleased to see receive a British Citizen Award for her dedicated work and commitment to the breast cancer community. A huge thank you must also go to the support and hard work of the Little Lifts team: Kay, Lizzie, Shopie, George, Frannie, Anya, and Hannah; without them, Little Lifts would not have achieved such a successful set of outcomes as demonstrated by our sound financial results and the number of Boxes funded and delivered. Finally, our board of Trustees continue to provide dedicated commitment and support, backed up by a wide-ranging set of expertise and experience in helping to achieve the Little Lifts vision.

We look forward now to another successful year ahead, building on all we have achieved in 2024.

Our vision

Every person affected by breast cancer should have the opportunity to receive a Little Lifts Box.

Our mission

To provide practical and emotional support to every person living in the UK who faces breast cancer treatment by giving them a carefully created Little Lifts Box at the start of or during their surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment.

Our values

Our values underpin everything that we do.

What Little Lifts does

We support people undergoing surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer by giving them a Little Lifts Box. In the East of England, our hospital partnerships ensure that every eligible person is reached. Elsewhere in the UK, people can apply to our ‘Little Kindness Fund’ to access our support.

Our NHS partnerships

What drives us, and the hospital partnerships we work with, is the shared belief that everyone facing breast cancer treatment needs to feel cared for and supported as they navigate their treatment in a clinical environment.

We work with dedicated Oncology, Surgery, Radiotherapy, and Breast Care Teams who ensure that our Little Lifts Boxes are given to people during their treatment planning or review meetings.

The Little Kindness Fund

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we received a surge in requests from breast cancer patients outside of our hospital partnerships enquiring how they could receive a Little Lifts Box. Thanks to generous support from Spacemasks, we launched The Little Kindness Fund on World Cancer Day, 4th February 2021.

The Little Kindness Fund is a discretionary fund for women and men undergoing surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment for primary or secondary breast cancer, living in the UK. The Fund enables eligible applicants to receive a Little Lifts Box free of charge to support their emotional well-being and support them through their cancer treatment.

What is a Little Lifts Box?

We understand that everyone’s experience of breast cancer treatment is different. Our Boxes are carefully curated by people who have personal experiences of breast cancer treatment, and we always choose planet-friendly, ethically made items where we can. Each Box is hand-packed with love by a volunteer in our community, often by a woman who has benefited from our support.

Our Boxes contain carefully curated products to help alleviate some of the side effects of treatment and provide practical support, as well as mood-boosting goodies to promote emotional well-being.

Chemotherapy Boxes

Little Lifts Chemotherapy Boxes contain over 20 carefully chosen items. They include a heat pack to help with joint and muscle pain, a soft toothbrush to be kind to more sensitive gums, and chilli oil and herbs to bring flavour to foods that may taste a little different.

Radiotherapy Boxes

Little Lifts Radiotherapy Boxes contain 11 carefully chosen items. They include moisturiser to soothe sensitive skin, a heated eye mask and pulse point roller ball to aid relaxation, and a natural deodorant, as it is advisable for patients to use a metal-free deodorant during treatment.

Surgery Boxes

Little Lifts Surgery Boxes were launched as a pilot at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in October 2023, and following the success of the pilot, were made available via The Little Kindness Fund in October 2024. They include 14 carefully chosen items, including unperfumed soap and an eco-friendly flannel to aid cleaning following surgery, and disposable wipes and hand sanitiser, which may come in handy during a hospital stay.

Our support goes beyond the products

But it’s not just what’s inside the Box that’s important. Many people experience breast cancer treatment as a lonely and difficult time. Our recipients tell us that the sense of

8

solidarity and kindness they experience when they receive their Little Lifts Box is just as valuable as the contents. Little Lifts Boxes ensure that no person faces surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer unprepared, or alone.

‘If someone had described it to me beforehand, I would have thought it a ‘nice idea’ without having given much thought to how important the sentiment is … With one Box, I no longer felt that we were alone dealing with a life changing situation … It is not a Box of cutlery and tea bags, it is a gesture of compassion and understanding sent without judgement and with no expectation, from fellow members of a club that no one wants to be part of.’

Why is Little Lifts needed?

In the UK, 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. 63% have radiotherapy, and 34% have chemotherapy, as part of their curative or palliative primary cancer treatment. There are 61,000 women in the UK living with incurable (secondary) breast cancer, a recognised disability.

Who develops breast cancer?

Breast cancer in men is rare with just 400 new cases in the UK each year, compared to around 55,000 new cases in women.

Every person experiences breast cancer treatment differently

There are a number of possible side effects to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and each person may experience them in varying intensities and for differing periods of time. Chemotherapy can cause, amongst other things, tiredness and fatigue, nausea, hair loss, a sore mouth, loss of appetite, a changed sense of taste, trouble sleeping, and difficulty concentrating. It can be a very difficult process, physically and emotionally. Radiotherapy can cause skin problems, tiredness, sore mouth, loss of appetite, and joint and muscle stiffness.

Radiotherapy can be considered by some to be a less ‘gruelling’ treatment than chemotherapy. Our beneficiaries told us that as radiotherapy patients, they sometimes felt less entitled to support, or that the difficulties they faced were ‘lesser’ than those of chemotherapy patients, because they often did not outwardly appear unwell. But radiotherapy treatment, as well as sharing some of the physical and mental side effects of

9

chemotherapy, is also incredibly disruptive, as it is administered daily in a clinical setting. In response to feedback from radiotherapy patients, we were proud to launch a special Radiotherapy Little Lifts Box in 2020.

Surgery plays a critical role in both life-saving and palliative treatment. However, the journey through surgery is not only physical—it is deeply emotional and psychological. Patients require support before, during, and after surgery to cope with fear, body image changes, pain, and recovery. That’s why we launched our Little Lifts Surgery Box in October 2023 to provide vital emotional and practical support – a pilot at the NNUH, which we rolled out to The Little Kindness Fund in October 2024.

There is no other charity working directly with NHS hospitals offering this type of support specific to breast cancer patients in the UK. It’s not only the content of our support, but its timing, and how it’s delivered – directly by clinicians at surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy planning meetings – that’s crucial. That’s what makes Little Lifts unique.

“The ‘thank you’ really should be to you and your fantastic, dedicated team. The

difference one of your Boxes makes is so far from little, our patients are always incredibly grateful for the luxuries that they receive.” – Medical Professional at Thirlestaine Breast Centre.

Our charitable objective

The object of the CIO is for the public benefit, the relief of sickness and side effects, to ease the suffering of surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment to women and men aged 18 and above who have primary and secondary breast cancer and who are living in the UK. In particular, but not exclusively, by providing them with a Little Lifts Box at the start of their surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment.

Activities to achieve our charitable objective

The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.

10

Our objectives for 2024 were ambitious, as we sought to continue expanding our infrastructure to maintain our hospital partnerships while growing our Little Kindness Fund, enabling more people affected by breast cancer to benefit from our support. In May 2024, we delivered our 20,000th Little Lifts Box with volunteer Graham, who lost his wife and daughter to breast cancer but has devoted his time to Little Lifts after witnessing the impact our Boxes had on his family. As a result, Little Lifts was featured on national radio (Five Live Drive Time) and local BBC News. Ongoing financial review and planning allowed us to deliver 10,075 Boxes, with overheads coming in under the planned budget for 9,200 Boxes. Box distribution increased by 39% compared to 2023, enabling us to distribute 10,075 Little Lifts Boxes to support those affected by breast cancer. Of this total, 5,741 Boxes were distributed through The Little Kindness Fund, representing a rise of 122% compared to 2023.

Box Distribution

We know that it’s the little things that matter most. Here’s what people had to say about our Little Lifts Boxes in 2024:

15

16

Our support goes beyond our Boxes

Meet Saba! Saba received her Little Lifts Chemotherapy Box through our Little Kindness Fund. She was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She needed a double mastectomy with sentinel lymph node removal on both sides and 6 rounds of chemotherapy, followed by 15 sessions of radiotherapy and 10 years on tamoxifen.

What Saba said about her gift Box:

“I am utterly moved and grateful for the exquisite Little Lifts Box that I received during my breast cancer journey…

This Box is not just a collection of items; it is a manifestation of compassion and understanding. In the midst of the physical and emotional toll that

cancer treatment takes, your thoughtful gift has managed to uplift my spirits in a way words cannot fully express. It is, without a doubt, the most considerate and heartfelt gift I have ever received…

In this Box, I found not just well-crafted essentials but a reservoir of hope, care, and the affirmation that I am not alone on this journey. Please accept my deepest gratitude for making a profound difference in my life during a time when it was needed the most.”

Feedback is incredibly important to us at Little Lifts. Not only does positive feedback help us stay focused on our goals, but suggestions from Box recipients also genuinely inform improvements to our operations and delivery, and have a real impact on our strategy, ensuring that we continue to serve our communities most effectively and expand our reach. The expansion of our Surgery Box to The Little Kindness Fund following the 2023 pilot is an example of how we respond to feedback from patients and medical professionals.

Feedback also helps us understand better who our support is reaching. At the time of writing this report, out of the 1,961 people who submitted feedback, nine were men. Of this number, 1,266 individuals reported their ethnicity, with 2% identifying as being from a black or ethnic minority background. Our feedback form includes a question asking, ‘How supported did/does the Little Lifts Box make you feel?’ Beneficiaries are asked to mark on a scale of five, with five being ‘very supported’ and one being ‘not supported’. 100% said the Little Lifts Box made them feel ‘very supported’ (94%) or ‘supported’ (6%).

17

Our finances

From a financial perspective, it is essential that we can serve every individual affected by breast cancer by having adequate and sustainable resources, both financial and non-financial, to support our Box production and distribution.

Income in 2024 was strong, rising by an impressive 37% from 2023 to £675.1k, with grants remaining steady and notable growth in support from individuals, corporates, and events. In 2024, we focused on diversifying income sources from individuals and corporates. This has been successful, with 68% of income received excluding grants in 2024, compared to 57% in 2023.

In 2024, Little Lifts was able to expand its support for individuals affected by breast cancer. While there was a notable increase in income, the proportion used for charitable activities remained at 77%, particularly in Box-related costs, due to the rise in Boxes delivered to patients.

At Little Lifts, we believe that, as a public benefit organisation, it is important to maintain strong financial management to ensure we deliver the best value possible while using ethical, environmentally friendly, natural, organic, and locally sourced products whenever possible. Our quality and ethical standards mean that many of our products carry a high retail value, so we are deeply grateful to many of our suppliers who have provided generous charitable discounts and to the companies that have donated products for our Little Lifts

18

Boxes. Charitable activities accounted for 77% (2023: 77%) of total expenditure in 2024. This has resulted in an overall deficit of £6.1k for the charity.

Our Reserves Policy and Going Concern

In assessing the overall level of reserves, the trustees always aim to maintain sufficient unrestricted funds of at least six months to ensure Little Lifts remains solvent going forward. Designated or restricted funds shall not form part of this sum. The decision was made by the trustees so that Little Lifts can:

At the end of 2024, the total reserves stand at £275.6k, of which £173.5k is unrestricted and non-designated, which is satisfactory in accordance with the reserve policy mentioned above. The Trustees designate funds for specific purposes to support new Box initiatives and further assist The Little Kindness Fund, which provides Boxes to breast cancer patients across the UK. In 2024, we invested in the development of an online portal to enable us to meet the demand for this fund, allowing medical professionals to apply on behalf of patients in a secure manner.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the members

For the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“The Act”)

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements set out in the (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.

Little Lifts constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts present a true and fair view and no changes have been made to the accounting policies adopted in note 1.1.

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 SORP a restatement of comparative items was needed. No restatements were required.

1.2 Income

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP.

1.3 Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met.

1.4 Legacies

Legacies are included in the SoFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

1.5 Donations of gifts, services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees' annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services of facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.6 Fund Accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for the specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by trustees for particular purposes.

1.7 Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.

1.8 Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

1.9 Grants payable

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.

1.10 Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

1.11 Tangible fixed assets for use by charity

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and are valued at historical cost.

Depreciation is charged on furniture and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years from the year of acquisition.

Depreciation is charged on computer equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of three years from the year of acquisition.

1.12 Stock

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

1.13 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.14 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or the opening deposit or similar account.
