The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:-

The trustees have, with advice from their accountants, introduced a formal risk management process to assess business risks and implement risk management strategies.

This involved identifying the types of risks the charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impacts and likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of mitigating the risks.

As part of this process, the trustees have reviewed the adequacy of the charity’s current internal controls. The trustees are pleased to report that the charity’s internal financial controls, in particular, conform to the guidelines issued by the Charity Commission

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 May 2021

Accounting policies

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £ sterling.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value.

The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going Concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognized when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

-5-

Cash donations are recognized on receipt. Other donations are recognized once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is Recognized at the time of the donation

Legacies are recognized on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognized once there is legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third Party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably

1.6 Fixed asset investments

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognized at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure.

Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date.

The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognized in the profit and loss account.

Where fair value cannot be achieved without undue cost or effort, investment property is accounted for as tangible fixed assets.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognized in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously

-6-

Basic Financial Assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortized.

Basic Financial Liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognized at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortized

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognized initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

De- recognition of Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

-7-

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:

Motor Vehicle 25% straight line basis Fittings 20% straight line basis Office Equipment 25% straight line basis

1.9 Income

Voluntary income and donations are accounted for as received by the charity. The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs. No permanent endowments have been received in the period, but these are credited directly to capital when received.

1.10 Investments

Investments are stated at their cost to the charity. Realised gains and losses on investments are taken to the income and expenditure account. Investment income plus associated tax recoverable is credit to income on an accrual’s basis, using dates of payment for dividends, and daily accrual for interest.

1.11 Value Added Tax

Value added tax is not recoverable by the charity, and as such is included in the relevant costs in the Income and Expenditure account

1.12 Finance leases

Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Depreciation is charged over the shorter of the length of the lease and the estimated useful life of the asset. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the charity. Obligations under such leases are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of each payment is charged to the Income and Expenditure account so as to produce a constant periodic rate on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

-8-

1.13 Operating leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits are risks of ownership remain with the lesser are charged to Income and Expenditure account as incurred.

1.14 Fundraising costs
