NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.

2. Funds Received as Agent

During the financial year, the charity facilitated the collection of funds as part of an international annual fundraising event on behalf of Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (WOŚP), a well-known Polish charity.

A total of £14,487.40 was raised and deposited into the charity’s bank account on 27/01/2025 as follows:

The full amount of £14,487.40 was transferred to WOŚP’s bank account on 31/01/2025.

As these funds were collected solely on behalf of WOŚP and did not belong to the charity, they have not been included in the Receipts and Payments Statement. The charity acted only as an intermediary in facilitating this donation.
