Reserves pollcy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £94,319.
Once a year the trustees of BCF consider the level of reserves that it is prudent for the
organisation to hold. Consideration is given to redundancy liabilities, lease agreements and any
other significant factors that should be taken into account if the organisation were to close. This
is currently set to three months of operating costs, equating to £70k. Expenditure in 2025 is
expected to increase further. The opening reserve of £94,319 is expected to be very close to the
target reserve.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024
A¢¢ountlng pollcles
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the
preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at
cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the the Statement of Recommended
Practice.. Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102) (effective I
January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.
No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
The charity ha5 applied Update Bulletin l as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a
cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 section IA.
b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's
bility to continue as a qoinq concern.
c Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the
charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees wlll recelve
the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income from govemment and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is
recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to
the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be
measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for
income recognition are met.

Burmantofts Community Friends
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)
C Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity
has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the
receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economlc
benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP {FRS 102), general
volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees, annual report for more information about
their contribution.
On receipt, donated 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 or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding
amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
D Interest recelvable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured
reliably by the charity. this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the
Bank.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at thelr
discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations whlch the donor has specified are to be solely used for partlcular
areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
F Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a
third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be
measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
Costs of ralsing funds are those costs incurred In attractlng voluntary income, and those
Incurred in trading activitles that raise funds.
Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the
delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both the direct costs
and support costs relating to such activities.
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Support costs are those ftjnctions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake

allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on
which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6.

Reserves pollcy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £94,319.
Once a year the trustees of BCF consider the level of reserves that it is prudent for the

other significant factors that should be taken into account if the organisation were to close. This
is currently set to three months of operating costs, equating to £70k. Expenditure in 2025 is
expected to increase further. The opening reserve of £94,319 is expected to be very close to the
target reserve.

recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to
the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be

C Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity
has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the
receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economlc
benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP {FRS 102), general
volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees, annual report for more information about
their contribution.
On receipt, donated 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 or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding
amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
D Interest recelvable

reliably by the charity. this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the
Bank.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at thelr
discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations whlch the donor has specified are to be solely used for partlcular
areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
F Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a
third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be
measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
Costs of ralsing funds are those costs incurred In attractlng voluntary income, and those
Incurred in trading activitles that raise funds.
Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the
delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both the direct costs
and support costs relating to such activities.
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
