Strategies for achieving objectives
At the Bikeability Trust, we are an ambitious force for change. We are creating a movement to ensure everyone can access cycling as a life skill. We provide the leading cycle training programme in England.
In three years, the Bikeability Trust will have helped more than 5 million children take up Bikeability cycle training. We will have also offered thousands more families and adults the chance to take up cycle training. We will achieve this through our 5 strategic goals. We will have:
-
Secured the funding to offer a Bikeability for All programme
-
Ensured high quality delivery of Bikeability for All
-
Secured partnerships that give more children the opportunity to take up Bikeability by removing barriers to cycling and learning this life skill
-
Encouraged more children and adults to cycle more confidently, more often
-
Demonstrated the impact of cycle training for improved road safety, improved urban mobility, education curriculum importance, individual health and wellbeing, cleaner air and the environment
Together, by 2025, we can help 5 million children cycle more confidently, more often.
ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
Review of activities to-date
This is the fifth Annual Report of the Board of Trustees.
Background
Bikeability is a practical training programme that aims to develop children and families skills and confidence to cycle on roads, and ultimately encourage more people to cycle more safely, more often. It is funded by the Department for Transport and delivered through local authorities and School Games Organiser Host Schools. It has been in existence since 2007 and has delivered 4,126,053 Bikeability training sessions. This includes the 439,802 DfT funded training places delivered in 2021-22 financial year.
The Bikeability programme is split into three different levels so that there is a sense of progression in cycling ability. Typically Levels 1 and 2 are delivered to primary school children and Level 3 to secondary school children. In addition there are various other modules that help children to actually learn to cycle. In 2020-21 we piloted and rolled out a new Bikeability Family course that now trains children and parents together.

THE BIKEABILITY TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
It is our belief that all children should have access to cycling and we at the Trust help to ensure the delivery of cycle training to typically over 400,000 children per year. The impact of COVID continued to present difficulties for accessing children in school during 2021-22. although this was less than the previous year. We have continued to work with the Bikeability Industry through Government guidance to train as many children as possible.
Cycling has a number of wider benefits to society including the physical and mental well-being that comes with being physically active. Cycling also introduces children and their families to a sustainable mode of transport, and offers access to a vital life-skill.
The Bikeability Trust was established in 2017, to manage the Bikeability programme.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Plans for April 2022 – March 2023
The role of the Bikeability Trust in stabilising the Bikeability Industry and helping to prepare them for growth and scale up is a key balance for the 2022-23 year and will require investment in increasing staffing across Operations, Development and Communications. We will continue a focus on quality, consistency and coverage to stabilise the Bikeability Industry and prepare for scale up in the future. The Bikeability Trust will also take a focus on innovation, inclusivity and impact. This will also involve a significant focus on digitisation of Bikeability provider systems in order to more effectively report on the impact of delivery. In addition, the trustees review key risks facing the Trust every quarter to ensure that appropriate action is being taken to mitigate them. The key risks facing the Trust include:
-
The DfT declines to continue the Grant Agreement
-
The transition to Active Travel England delays funding decisions
-
Failure to attract and recruit the right calibre of Board members who also reflect modern Britain
-
Poor quality delivery of the training programme
-
Failure to offer adequate support to the cycling industry in its attempt to scale up for the government’s pledge of a offering cycle training to every child and adult
The trustees have agreed a set of key activities for the Trust for the coming year and believe that they will help, among other things, to help mitigate the key risks identified.

Key financial performance indicators
Our financial results are carefully monitored by our Finance and Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. The key areas the committee focuses on are cash balances and profit from our trading activities. As the Trust has responsibility for the delivery of the Bikeability grant a key area of focus is the safeguarding of public money and ensuring value for money.
Factors relevant to achieve objectives
-
Cost control, in particular the margins on our trading activities, salary costs and sub-contractor costs
-
• Close monitoring of any Bikeability Providers which fail to deliver their allocated grant-funded Bikeability places to the required standard
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results for the period
The key sources of funds for the Trust are the sale of Award materials and income under a Grant Agreement with the DfT. The Group has made a surplus of income over expenditure on unrestricted funds of £102,068. This is split into a planned net deficit on designated funds of £544,125 and surplus on general funds of £646,193. This is the result of careful monitoring of costs and a very small efficient team of staff who support the Trustees in their work. The Trust currently has unrestricted general reserves brought forward of £265,000. On the basis that the Trust requires unrestricted general reserves of £400,000, as set out below, the Trustees have decided that a further £135,000 should be retained in addition to £354,984 of costs relating to projects to be completed during 22/23 thereby allowing a transfer to the Innovation Fund of £150,000.
Within restricted funds £264,362 has been transferred from the National Cycle Training Programme to the Widening Participation Fund. This restricted funding has been allocated through a bidding process to projects that can demonstrate new ways to ensure equal access to cycle training from priority groups including minority ethnic groups, teenage girls and families living in deprivation.

THE BIKEABILITY TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Reserves policy
The Trustees have the objective of maintaining sufficient reserves to offset any liabilities that should be incurred in the event that the charity would need to be wound up; redundancy costs of staff, and other on-going liabilities such as committed expenditure, pension contributions and supplier costs. The trustees believe that reserves of £400,000 will be sufficient to cover our current commitments and to meet all costs associated with a downturn in our activities and a potential winding up of the charity.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
Grant making policy
The Trust is responsible for awarding grants to either Local Authorities or Schools Games Organisers so that they can engage Bikeability Providers to deliver training locally. The grant terms were set under our predecessor and we have rolled forward those terms; the grant recipients put in bids for funding which were then assessed and awarded based on factors such as levels of demand and efficiency in delivery. We, at the Trust, monitor the levels of training delivered and ensure funds are only released when training has taken place.
Volunteers
Other than the Trustees the Trust does not use the services of any volunteers.
Management remuneration
Management remuneration is reviewed by our Finance and Audit Committee and ratified by the main Board. Management remuneration was originally set on the incorporation of the Charity and has since been subject to annual reviews which has resulted in small increases in line with RPI.
Fundraising
Although we do not actively fundraise from the public and we have not used any professional fundraisers in the year, the public can donate via our website and via Amazon Smile and we are registered with the Fundraising Regulator.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT
Constitution
The CIO was incorporated on 13 January 2017 and commenced operating on 1 April 2017. The Charity is governed by a constitution which sets out the powers and responsibilities of the Trustees in fulfilling the Charity’s objectives.

Management
Trustees
The management of the CIO is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Constitution. The Trustees manage the affairs of the Trust and determine its general policy.
The Charity is administered by the Board of Trustees, which must have a minimum of three and a maximum of eleven members. The Board meets approximately quarterly. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is responsible to the Trustees for overseeing the Charity’s operations.
A list of Trustees is provided on Page 2, and on our website: https://bikeability.org.uk/about/our-trustees/ .
Trustees serve for a term of three years from the date of appointment.
Each Trustee’s term of office may be renewed for two further 3 years terms; subsequently the Trustee in question is required to resign but may apply for re-appointment after at least one year.
Trustee appointment, induction and training
The proposal to appoint a new Trustee is made at a Trustee meeting for consideration and approval by the existing Trustees. Recruitment is by advertisement followed by shortlisting and interview by the Chair, another Trustee and the Executive Director (ED). Following appointment the successful candidate meets the Chair and ED for an induction, to be briefed on legal obligations under charity law, on the Charity’s constitution, business plan, operations and recent financial performance.
Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the CIO for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the CIO will continue in operation.

THE BIKEABILITY TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the CIO's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the CIO and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BIKEABILITY TRUST
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of The Bikeability Trust (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Charity Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charity's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BIKEABILITY TRUST (CONTINUED)
OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the parent Charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the parent Charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

THE BIKEABILITY TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BIKEABILITY TRUST (CONTINUED)
AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Charity through discussions with Trustees and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the sector;
-
we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Charity and how the Charity is complying with that framework;
-
we obtained an understanding of the Charity’s policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations, including documentation of any instances of non-compliance;
-
we identified which laws and regulations were significant in the context of the Charity. The Laws and regulations we considered in this context were Charities Act 2011 and taxation legislation. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items;
-
in addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the Charity’s ability to operate or to avoid material penalty; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the accounting policy were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures

THE BIKEABILITY TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BIKEABILITY TRUST (CONTINUED)
which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators and the Charity’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.
USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE BIKEABILITY TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 STATUTORY INFORMATION
The Bikeability Trust is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The registered office address is Salisbury House, Station Road, Cambridge, CB1 2LA. The Trust has no fixed place of business.
1.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) 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 in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Bikeability Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Consolidated Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
1.3 GOING CONCERN
The Trustees have prepared forecasts for 2022/23 and considered the trading period beyond this. The Trustees have stress-tested the forecasts, chiefly reflecting the different levels of income due to postponement of various activities the charity engage in.
Upon their review, the Trustees believe the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.4 INCOME
All income is recognised once the CIO has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the CIO has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the CIO of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.
Core award income is recognised when the sale to the scheme participator is made and goods have been dispatched from the warehouse.
Fundraising income is recognised when the CIO has entitlement to it, the receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Consultancy income is recognised during the month the consultancy services were performed.
Registration fees are recognised in the period to which they relate.
Grant income is recognised when the CIO has entitlement to it, the receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. Any unspent balances are carried forward in the relevant fund.
1.5 EXPENDITURE
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Support costs are allocated to activities based on the proportion of time spent on those activities in the year.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the CIO's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the CIO.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
1.6 INTEREST RECEIVABLE
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the CIO; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.7 INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND AMORTISATION
Intangible assets costing £1,500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.
Amortisation is provided on the following bases:
Assets under construction - not amortised until complete and in use% Database and website - 10 years straight line
1.8 INVESTMENTS
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
1.9 STOCKS
Stocks comprise award materials and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.
1.10 DEBTORS
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.11 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 opening of the deposit or similar account.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.12 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the CIO 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 within interest payable and other similar charges.
1.13 GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Restricted Government grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities on receipt, any unspent funds at the year end are carried forward within restricted funds.
1.14 PENSIONS
The CIO contributes to personal pension plans for a number of employees and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the CIO to the fund in respect of the Period.
1.15 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
