The composition of the board of Trustees is considered sufficient to fulfil the Trust objectives and the governance requirements.

The Albert Hunt Trust 2

Trustees' report Year ended 5 April 2025

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

Key management personnel

The board of Trustees and the Operations Manager comprise the key management personnel in charge of directing, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis.

The Trustees give their time freely and no Trustees receives remuneration from the charity.

The remuneration of the Operations Manager is reviewed annually by the Trustees.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and 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 and 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 charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102);
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Structure and management reporting

The Trustees are ultimately responsible for the policies, activities and assets of the charity. They meet three times a year to review strategy, grant making policy and overall performance. The Trustees review the proposals for grants to be made on a monthly basis, visit charities of particular interest as part of the charity’s good governance procedures and report on the same as part of the process by which grants are approved. They also review progress on major on-going grant programmes.

The Albert Hunt Trust 3

Trustees' report Year ended 5 April 2025

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

Structure and management reporting (continued)

When necessary, the Trustees seek advice and support from the charity’s professional advisers including solicitors and accountants.

The day-to-day management of the charity’s activities is administered by the Operations Manager who undertakes the processing of grant applications and their monthly presentation to the Trustees for consideration and approval; arranging the payment of grants and maintaining the books and records of the charity.

Risk management

In line with the requirement for Trustees to undertake a risk assessment exercise and report on the same in their annual report, the Trustees consider the risks that the charity faces and review the measures in place, or that need to be put in place, to deal with them. The Trustees identified five main areas where risks may occur:

Governance and management
Operational
Financial
Reputational
Laws, regulations, external and environmental

Governance and management looks at the risk the Trust suffers from a lack of direction, the skills and training of the Trustees and the good use of its funds.

Operational looks at the risk inherent in the Trust’s activities including supporting unsuitable appeals from charities, continuity of staff, lack of a disaster recovery policy, etc.

Financial risks include those arising as a result of poor budgetary control, inappropriate spending, poor accounting, inappropriate investment policies, etc.

Reputational looks at possible damage to the Trust's reputation, through association with unsuitable charities, or with inappropriate activity, including conduct and timeliness.

Laws, regulations, external and environmental looks at the effects of government policies, compliance with Charity Commission directives, the consequences of noncompliance with laws and regulations and the effect of external matters on the Trust's principal asset, its investment portfolio.

Having assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to its investments and its finances, the Trustees believe that by ensuring controls exist over key financial systems and by delegating the investment management function to investment managers, subject to regular monitoring, including periodic reviews of performance against benchmark, they have established effective systems to mitigate those risks.

The Albert Hunt Trust 4

Trustees' report Year ended 5 April 2025

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

Risk management (continued)

The Trustees seek formal terms and conditions from charities where sizeable grants are being considered prior to making payment. The Trustees operate a programme of visits to charities where grants of a significant sum are considered to satisfy themselves as to the viability of the appeal. As an alternative to site visits, teleconference or “virtual” meetings and tours may be used where appropriate. Where grants to charities over a number of years are considered cumulatively significant specific policies are also adopted for this purpose.

ACTIVITIES, SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND RELEVANT POLICIES

Principal aims and objectives

The Trustees pursue a grant making policy based on the Trust’s mission statement which has been developed over time from the Founders’ original intentions:

“To promote and enhance the physical and mental welfare of individuals, or groups of individuals, excluding research or the diagnosis and treatment of specific medical conditions, by the distribution of Trust funds, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Trustees, to charities registered in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, that are actively engaged in that field of work.”

In pursuing this objective, the Trustees have sought to specifically support the three sectors of hospice, homelessness, and health and wellbeing principally through the award of unrestricted core funding grants.

With the acknowledgement that there is continued financial challenges faced by the third sector the Trustees decided in 2023 to react to the funding needs and concentrate on the spending of the Trust’s remaining resources within a specific timeframe. The Albert Hunt Trust will mark its 50[th] anniversary in January 2029 by closing.

The Trust is a signatory to the Funder Commitment on Climate Change https://fundercommitmentclimatechange.org/). Wherever possible the Trust will seek to learn more about the key causes and solutions of climate change and be considerate to the causes and impact of climate change in the work of the grantees, particularly with any funding of capital building projects. Furthermore, minimising the carbon footprint of all areas of the Trust’s operations is regularly reviewed and considered.

Grant making policy

As the Trust enters its final years the Trustees are continuing with the same grant making philosophy, giving careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. The Trustees do not currently intend to seek a specific legacy project or

ACTIVITIES, SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND RELEVANT POLICIES (continued)

Grant making policy (continued)

projects to support, preferring to continue their policy of providing unrestricted core funding grants, and generally remain closed to capital funding requests.

Applicants should consult the website as pertinent updates will periodically be posted with funding information.

The Trustees’ invite applications submitted from charities that meet the current funding criteria as detailed on the website. Funding requests are considered by the Trustees on a monthly basis. Applications should contain the following:

 Aims and objectives
 Nature of appeal
 Total target to be raised if for a specific project
 Contributions received against target
 Registered charity number
 Any other relevant factors

Applications will only be accepted via the online portal accessed via the website www.alberthunttrust.org.uk. Please refer to the website for further guidance.

Investment policy

With the decision to fully distribute the Trust by January 2029 the Trustees have, in consultation with their Investment Manager, completely rearranged the Trust’s investment portfolio to significantly reduce investment risk. The portfolio is now invested entirely in short-dated UK gilts and investment grade corporate bonds maturing between 2025 and 2028. As these gilts and bonds mature and pay regular income, this will provide funds at regular intervals to meet grant making. In addition, substantial funds are also held on cash deposits to meet grants that will be made over the next eighteen months or so. This action has had the effect of greatly reducing the Trusts investment risk in the run up to closure, and will provide protection against any economic, geopolitical or stock market events that may occur in the Trust’s final years.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Review of activities

The Trust made individual grants to charities registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, OSCR, the Scottish Charity Regulator or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.

The increase in funding requests has been significant this past year, reflecting the ongoing financial challenges faced by the sector generally and rising demand for services. The Trustees continued to recognise the value in supporting charities with their core funding needs and prioritised these unrestricted awards, with no reporting requirements attached, across the 3 sectors supported: Hospices, Homelessness and Health and Wellbeing.

The Trustees recognise that when the Trust closes many charities, which have received regular awards for many years, will need to manage the impact of the cessation of grants on their funding requirements. We are communicating with our donee recipient charities to ensure they are fully aware of the position and should manage this accordingly.

Hospice funding continues to represent a significant part of the grant making strategy. The Trustees provided annual awards, in the main towards general running costs. and proactively encouraged applications by contacting hospices that had not submitted funding requests within the last 12 months. Whilst no formal reporting is required, many hospices provided communications expressing their acknowledgment and appreciation for the faithful donations received throughout the history of the Trust.

Unrestricted core funding awards were made to hospices throughout the UK, for example £30,000 to the following: Acorns Children’s Hospice in Birmingham, Katharine House Hospice in Stafford, Mountbatten Isle of Wight Hospice, Bolton Hospice, East Cheshire Hospice, Tapping House Hospice, Norfolk, Nightingale House Hospice, Wrexham, St David’s Hospice Llandudno, Northern Ireland Hospice, and Highland Hospice.

As the Trustees develop the spend down strategy, they are keen to support initiatives that may help the hospice sector become more sustainable. They have been interested to learn how regional collaborations within the hospice sector are working either formally or informally to explore various options to strengthen their services for the future. Grants were awarded to the following groups:

Children’s Hospices across London - £13,000 (6 hospices)

Funding was provided to employ an external consultant to help guide the hospice leaders thinking and shape their long-term strategy to move forward in a considered way collectively.

– - West Yorkshire Hospice Collaborative hosted by Overgate Hospice £50,000

This partnership of 10 hospices working across the region aims to ensure that everyone in West Yorkshire has access to high quality, compassionate care when they need it most. With increasing demand for services and significant health inequalities in the region, the collaborative is committed to strengthening their collective voice, building resilience and addressing gaps in care. Funding was awarded to recruit a high-level Programme Manager who will work at a strategic level to coordinate efforts across hospices, build partnerships with Integrated Care Boards and drive key initiatives that ensure sustainable

and equitable care for all.

– Lancashire & South Cumbria Hospices Together hosted by Pendleside Hospice £37,000 This partnership of 10 adult and children hospices are working together to improve hospice care and make hospice care more accessible and sustainable. Funding was provided for a coordinator to establish a hub for Advanced Nurse Practitioners to come together to share best practice, avoid duplication and work cohesively across the region.

The support of charitable organisations working to prevent homelessness, or to support those who are, or are at risk of becoming homeless, has been a long-term grant making priority. To manage demand, the Trustees favoured smaller organisations embedded in their local communities with a total income of below £1m. Organisations can seek unrestricted core funding grants and are able to apply each year for a further award.

Examples of some of the organisations supported with unrestricted funding are listed below:

Cirencester Housing for Young People (CHYP) £8,000

and fostering community wellbeing in Swansea. Their mission is to provide immediate support to those in need while addressing the root causes of social challenges, including homelessness.

Funding requests from charities in the Health and Wellbeing sector are received in high volume both from previous grantees as well as from new applicants. The Trustees are keen to support small charities making impact in the communities they serve. Endeavouring to manage this increasing demand, the Trustees reluctantly decided to further restrict the income threshold for this sector and reduced it from £250,000 to £150,000. Despite this change, application numbers remained high and potential applicants were encouraged to make contact prior to submitting a request for guidance. Organisations can seek unrestricted core funding grants and are able to apply each year for an award, although further funding is at the complete discretion of the Trustees and should not be relied on.

Under this broad sector certain categories were prioritised for support, for example food banks, community hubs and mental health support for children and young people under 25.

Below are some of the organisations which received unrestricted awards.

Wave Forward - £5,000

The charity generated a gain on investment disposals of £200,451 (2024: gain of £1,378,996) and an unrealised gain of £286,444 (2024: losses of £168,614) on the revaluation of listed investments to market value at 5 April 2025.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Results for the year

Dividend and interest income was generated from the charity’s portfolio of investments, which amounted to £799,001 (2024: £985,674) and interest on its cash deposits of £693,814 (2024: £513,830). The total investment income for the year was £1,492,815 (2024: £1,499,504).

The Trustees made grant commitments totalling £10,561,250 (2024: £7,511,790) during the year. Grant administration and support costs for the year were £144,846 (2024: £77,641) and governance costs were £24,629 (2024: £26,061). Fees payable to the investment manager were £81,647 (2024: £120,399).

After net gains on the investment portfolio, the charity made a deficit for the year of £8,832,662 (2024: deficit of £5,196,005) and at 5 April 2025 the charity’s unrestricted funds were £38,037,446 (2024: £46,870,107).

Reserves policy and financial position

Given the Trustees stated objective to fully distribute the Trust assets by 2029 the Trustees, with the advice of the charity investment managers, will ensure there is sufficient liquid assets available to meet the charitable distributions. This will be from both income arising and the utilisation of capital. All funds held are unrestricted.

The Trustees consider that the current level of free reserves is sufficient to allow the charity to continue its intended grant making strategy and meet any commitments throughout the period to 2029 and the closure of the Trust. As the end date of the Trust approaches the proportion of the Trust assets held in cash reserves will be significantly increased.

FUTURE PLANS

Post balance sheet events and future developments

The Trustees are considering their grant making strategy for the final years of the Trust. Key decisions will be announced at the earliest opportunity via the website to ensure, past, present and potential beneficiaries understand the funding opportunities available

Until then, the Trustees are committed to continue reacting to funding requests and will maintain the level of monthly grant spending. The demand for support across all sectors remains high and, to manage demand, the Trustees regularly review the position and, reluctantly, are prioritising certain sectors over other sectors that have previously received regular funding. Where possible the website is updated to reflect any changes, but applicants are encouraged to contact the Operations Manager for further guidance prior to the submission of a funding request.

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 5 April 2025

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Albert Hunt Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Albert Hunt Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the financial statements. 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).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

 give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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 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.

The Albert Hunt Trust 13

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 5 April 2025

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, including the Trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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 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

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

 the information given in the Trustees’ annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
 sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
 the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; 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 and for being satisfied that they 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 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Albert Hunt Trust 14

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 5 April 2025

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 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 auditor’s 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:

 We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant are the Charities SORP FRS 102 and the Charities Act 2011.
 We understood how the charity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to management and those responsible for legal, compliance and governance procedures. We corroborated our inquiries through our review of minutes from Trustee meetings and papers provided to the Trustees.
 We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatements, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
Identifying and assessing the design and implementation of controls in place to prevent and detect fraud;
Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management and the Trustees in its significant accounting estimates;
Identifying and testing adjustments made at the year-end for financial statement preparation; and
Assessing the extent of compliance with relevant laws and regulations by reviewing correspondence with regulators and legal advisors.

The Albert Hunt Trust 15

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 5 April 2025

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

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 Trustees 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 auditor’s 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 auditor's 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 the charity’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Principal accounting policies Year ended 5 April 2025

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are laid out below.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the modification to a fair value basis as specified in the accounting policies below.

The Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

All financial information is presented in British Pounds Sterling (£), the Trust’s functional currency, and has been rounded to the nearest pound (£).

Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires the Trustees to exercise judgement in the process of applying accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including an expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the Trustees’ best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Areas requiring the use of estimates and critical judgements that may impact on the charity’s financial activities and financial position include:

 Social investments require a consideration of the nature of the investment to ensure that the substance of the arrangement is appropriately accounted for as either a “programme related investment” held at cost or a “mixed motive investment” held at fair value. This involves the Trustees’ judgement on whether:
The investment is made in order to directly further the charitable purposes of the charity and where financial return is not a primary reason for making the investment (programme related); and
The investment is made to both further the charity’s charitable purposes but also to generate a financial return (mixed motive investment).

Assessment of going concern

The Trustees of the charity have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern for a period at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

The Albert Hunt Trust 20

Principal accounting policies Year ended 5 April 2025

Investment income

Investment income comprises:

 Dividends on the charity’s portfolio of investments. Dividends are recognised on a receipts basis.
 Interest on cash and cash equivalents is recognised when receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured reliably using the effective interest method.

Expenditure

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. It includes VAT which cannot be recovered.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises grants payable, grant administration expenses, support costs and governance costs.

Grants payable: Charitable activities comprise grants payable and the cost of administering the grant programme. Grants payable are included in the statement of financial activities when approved and when the intended recipient has either received the funds or been informed of the decision to make the donation and has satisfied all related conditions. Grants approved but not paid at the end of the financial year are accrued for. Grants where the beneficiary has not been informed or has to meet certain conditions before the grant is released are not accrued for but are noted as funding commitments in the notes to the financial statements.

Administration expenses, support costs and governance costs: Included within charitable activities expenditure are costs incurred in assisting the grant making programme of the charity. Governance costs include audit costs and legal costs relating to the charity’s compliance with regulation and good practice.

Investment management fees: Investment management fees are incurred in managing the charity’s investments and are charged in the statement of financial activities and are stated net of rebates.

Fixed asset investments

The charity’s investment in quoted shares and similar securities are initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value, being the bid or mid-market price. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are recognised in the statement of financial activities in the period in which they arise.

Social investments

Social investments consist of programme related investments.

Programme related investments

Programme related investments are made exclusively to further the charity’s charitable objectives by funding specific activities and where a financial return is not the primary reason for making the investment. Programme related investments consist of concessionary loans that are initially recognised at the amount paid, with the carrying value being subsequently adjusted for repayments and any impairment.

The Albert Hunt Trust 21

Principal accounting policies Year ended 5 April 2025

Financial instruments

The Trust only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS102. Financial assets and liabilities and their recognition and measurement bases are as follows:

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.

At the end of each reporting period financial assets are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence is identified, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities. For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and a best estimate of the recoverable amount.

A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled in cash, or when substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to another party.

A financial liability is derecognised when the contract that gives rise to it is settled, sold cancelled or expired.

Debtors

Other debtors are initially recognised at their settlement amount and subsequently at amortised cost or their recoverable amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand represents such financial statements and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. Deposits for more than three months but less than one year have been disclosed as short-term deposits.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions 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 measured or estimated reliably.

Creditors and provisions are initially recognised at fair value, being the amount the Trust anticipates it will pay to settle the debt, and subsequently at amortised cost.

Fund accounting

The unrestricted funds represent funds available for the general charitable purposes of the Trust at the discretion of the Trustees.

Pension costs

Employer’s contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the statement of financial activities in the period in which they are payable to the scheme.
