Every beneficiary was carefully assessed to confirm they had no other means to access
educatlon, making our continued support truly life-changlng,
In August, we launched a free daycare centre in Sakina, Matejoo, Kwa Glrlkl, servlng 15 chll-
dren aged 1-5 from the most vulnerable local families. This safe, nurturing space enables
parents
especially single parents
to work and provide for their families, knowing their

community.

accountlng requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
to whlch, In my opinlon, attentlon should be drawn In order to enable a proper

Notes on the accounts
l Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are
as follows:
Basis of preparation
As a charity registered in England and Wales that is not a company and with gross income of
less than £250,000, Hope and Soul is allowed under section 133 of the Charities Act 2011
('the Charities Act,) to prepare receipts and payments accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared on that basis.
Preparatlon of the accounts on a going concern basls
It is assumed that the charity as a golng concern, it has sufflclent available resources
(flnancial, volunteers and support) to contlnue the operations that It carrles out at present
and those that are planned for the foreseeable future.
Income
Income Is recognised when the charity receives the funds and any performance conditions
attached to the item of income have been met.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be
measured reliably by the charityi this is normally upon notlfication of the interest paid or
payable by the Bank.
Fund accounting
UnrestrScted funds are avaSlable to spend on activltles that further any of the purposes of
charity. At present, all the funds of the charlty are included In thls category.
Deslgnated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity whlch the trustees have decided at
their discretlon to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for
particular areas of the charity's work.
Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT
Expendlture is recognised once payment has been made.
The trustees have reassessed the dlsclosure of the expenses In the Statement of Flnanclal
Activity and as such the expense headlngs used have changed from the previous period In
order to better reflect the operations of the charity. The comparative figures have not been
reanalysed as to do so is considered not to be cost efficient.
The charity is not registered for VAT and irrecoverable VAT on expenditure is charged as a
cost against the activity for which that expenditure was incurred.
No trustees received any remuneration in the year, nor were any expenses paid by the charity
to members of the Board in respect of their duties as trustees of the charity.
Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly
undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs and governance costs
which support the charity's activities.
