TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

The aim of Northamptonshire Sport, as set out in its constitution is ‘to promote community participation in healthy recreation and sports that are capable of promoting physical health and fitness for the benefit of the inhabitants of Northamptonshire in particular by:

b. Strategies for achieving objectives

The National Sport England strategy "Uniting the Movement" is a 10 year vision focusing on five big issues:

  1. Recover and reinvent - Recovering from the biggest crisis in a generation and reinventing as a vibrant, relevant and sustainable network of organisations providing sport and physical activity opportunities that meet the needs of different people.

  2. Connecting communities - Focusing on sport and physical activity’s ability to make better places to live and bring people together.

  3. Positive experiences for children and young people - Unrelenting focus on positive experiences for all children and young people as the foundations for a long and healthy life.

  4. Connecting with health and wellbeing - Strengthening the connections between sport, physical activity, health and wellbeing, so more people can feel the benefits of, and advocate for, an active life.

  5. Active environments - Creating and protecting the places and spaces that make it easier for people to be active.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Objectives and activities (continued)

Northamptonshire Sport has worked with local partners to develop a framework for Sport and Physical Activity for Northamptonshire which meets these national strategic objectives by focusing on challenges faced locally. This Framework approach is based on data and local insight and uses the following strategies to get people in Northamptonshire ‘more active, more often’.

c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

Our Activities focus on:

During 2022-23 Sport England’s active lives survey showed that the proportion of adults across Northamptonshire achieving 150+ minutes of physical activity (classed as ‘active’) rose above pre-pandemic (2019/20) levels. This was the first full year of data since November 2018-19 that had no interruptions due to Covid-19, and although it shows a positive return to pre-pandemic levels, activity rates for adults with a disability or long term health condition have seen remain significantly lower than those with no disability and significant inequalities remain in activity levels between some minority ethnic groups.

d. Grant awards

In order to deliver against their Uniting the Movement strategy, Sport England have awarded key System Partners five years funding to provide longer term financial stability. Sport England’s System Partner funding award to Northamptonshire Sport runs from 2022-2027. The System Partner funding supports core organisational costs as well as capacity funding to support local primary schools to improve PE and Sport provision, support the local sporting workforce and deliver the county School Games finals. Separate funding was received from Sport England as part of the national Together Fund programme to distribute to community groups and support those groups to develop longer term organisational stability and resilience.

Linking in with our work with local schools, we receive funding from the Youth Sport Trust to deliver local Barclays Girls Football Partnerships, which aim to embed girls’ football in local secondary schools, linking in with local football providers and making the game more inclusive for all.

We continue to apply for funding from local and national organisations to support the delivery of our work in schools and the community and have received smaller grants from Persimmon Homes, Arnold Clark Automotive, the LTA, Groundwork UK, The National Lottery the RFU, the FA, and the Golf Foundation.

Objectives and activities (continued)

e. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

In deciding which activities the charity will pursue, the trustees have paid regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. All activities, delivered by Northamptonshire Sport, focus on the promotion of increased sport and physical activity across the county.

Most of the funding received is to deliver specific activities designed to increase activity levels or participation in recreational and competitive sport, either in target areas or with specific groups

. When planning projects, particular note is taken of Sport England and Public Health and locally obtained insight to identify areas and groups who are most likely to be inactive.

We aim to have a demonstrable impact on physical inactivity in Northamptonshire. We do this by:

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Charity

Through our schools, education and young people work, we provide positive experiences that feel fun, increase confidence and encourage young people to want to be active in the future. The Northamptonshire School Games is an important part of our work with schools, and part of a national programme of competitive sport that is open to all young people in every school across Northamptonshire.

In 2022-23 96% of schools in Northamptonshire took part in our School Games programme with 724 competitions, festivals or events taking place during the year.

This comprised of 387 intra-school and 336 inter-school competitions using a variety of School Games and festival formats with almost 40,000 attendances by young people aged 5-18 years during the year.

In addition to our work in schools, we deliver leadership training for children of all ages. Much of our inclusive competition, festival and event programme is delivered in person by young people we have trained as officials, organisers, referees and timekeepers. Over 300 young leaders have learned new skills and gained valuable leadership experience within our School Games programme.

The Government’s holiday activities and food programme (HAF), was rolled out nationally in 2021, with funding for each local authority to provide and programme of healthy food and enrichment activities during the major schools holidays for children who normally access free school meals during the school term. In Northamptonshire, Northamptonshire Sport was awarded the contract to deliver the programme in 2021 and 2022.

In 2022 46,808 holiday places were provided in Northamptonshire, with 84,396 bookings made to attend camps through the programme. 2,490 individuals in the summer and 1,360 individuals in the winter. The total engagement of free school meal (FSM) children was 15% in the summer and 9% in the winter.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Achievements and performance (continued)

In February 2023 Northamptonshire Sport was awarded the contract to deliver the programme in Northamptonshire in 2023 and 2024 with potential to extend the programme for a further 2 years.

The ‘Together Fund’ (TF) is a continuation of Sport England’s ‘Tackling Inequalities Fund’ (TIF) that was set up in April 2020 as part of a support package to help the sport and physical activity sector through the coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis.

Almost £300,000 was allocated to 126 local community organisations during 2022-23. Funding was targeted towards organisations working with people with disabilities and long-term health conditions, people from low income groups and people from ethnically diverse communities. Much of the delivery and activities related to this funding takes place between April-September 2023.

We continue to work with older people and people with long-term health conditions. Through our co-ordination of the Activity on Referral (AOR) programme, we work with activity providers and health professionals to provide a structured referral pathway into physical activity programmes. Between April 2022 and March 2023 1022 people completed an AOR programme.

Since 2018, we have been providing a programme of OTAGO exercise, strength and balance classes for people with a history of, or at risk of falling (Get Up and Go). In 2022 we developed the i-CAN Get Up and Go programme – a health-professional-prescribed programme for people who are classed as mild to moderately frail. 123 people per week took part in the programmes during the year.

Our annual events programme offers something for all experience levels and abilities, you don’t need to be an athlete to take part. From 5K jogs to competitive triathlons and plenty in between.

1,897 participants took part in our events during the year with 80% of participants saying that the events helped them to be more active and 90% saying that the event had a positive effect on their wellbeing.

We hold weekly OWS sessions in Northamptonshire from April to September at two locations; Sywell Country Park and Daventry Country Park. The swimming sessions are open to all competent swimmers, those who are new to OWS and people with more experience. Over 3,000 swims took place in 2022, despite early closure due to Blue-Green algae at both sites.

In 2022 we worked with West Northamptonshire Council, Sport England, British Cycling and other partners to transform a former golf course in to a 40 acre specialist mountain bike park. With £250,000 in funding from British Cycling’s Places to Ride scheme and £500,000 from West Northamptonshire Council, the Northampton Bike Park was opened in October 2022.

April 2022 marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for us. We launched our new website and refreshed brand. The new website was designed with our customers, partners and stakeholders in mind. We made it easier to find events, courses and useful information. Our aim is to increase our digital impact in the year to come, but over the last year, we’ve seen 78,000 website visitors and our social media content reached 418,000 people.

Achievements and performance (continued)

b. Evaluating progress and learning

We have moved considerable distance to a point where learning is much more part of everyone’s day-to-day thinking. Learning is a fundamental part of our Hotspot Progress Frameworks, completed by staff on a continual basis to demonstrate progress in our place-based work.

We have invested in our measurement, evaluation and learning through the recruitment of an insight officer and the development of a smartsheet platform to gather and analyse the outputs and impact of our various projects and programmes.

By listening to those we work with we have been able to provide our courses at the right time, format and cost. A bottom-up approach has helped us to influence change.

We will continue to develop a more systematic approach to our learning by building this into employee work programmes, linking to strategic objectives.

Financial review

a. Overview

Our grant income funding streams have stabilised during the last 18 months with Sport England’s 5 year System Partner funding award providing a strong base for medium term stability. School Games organiser funding has also been confirmed until the end of the 2025 academic year.

Local authority funding is awarded on a year-by-year as are Public Health and NHFT Falls Prevention programmes.

Fundraising and income from events and activity hubs has not developed as expected and has failed to generate additional unrestricted funds.

The award of the Northamptonshire HAF programme has significantly increased by our income and expenditure for this year and this has been awarded for a further 2 years.

b. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Page 6

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

c. Reserves policy

The Trustees review the reserves of the charity periodically and approved a Reserves Policy in November 2022.

The purpose of this policy is to establish and maintain an appropriate level of financial reserves to protect Northamptonshire Sport for the following reasons :

The policy details the following amounts to be kept as reserves:

During the year, total reserves increased to £1,592,123. Restricted funds, which represent principally unspent Sport England grants and funds for School Sport delivery, totalled £627,474 as at 31 March 2023.

d. Pension scheme

On transfer from NCC in October 2020 Northamptonshire Sport was admitted to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) – a defined benefit scheme administered by NCC. On transfer 22 employees were members of the scheme.

The admission agreement included a ‘passthrough’ arrangement by which any net pension deficit or surplus is the responsibility of the pension scheme employing body. The employer pension rates are variable and reviewed periodically by actuarial assessment and fixed to that of the scheme employer, West Northamptonshire Council. The scheme was reviewed in April 2023, increasing the employer contribution rate from 16.2% to 19.6% until March 2026.

The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.

The LGPS scheme is closed to new employees who are offered a defined contributions scheme provided by Aviva. As at 31 March 2023, 10 employees are members of the Aviva scheme.

e. Principal risks and uncertainties

The Trustees have in place a risk management process. The process identifies the types of risks the charity faces, prioritises them in terms of likelihood of occurrence and potential impact, identifies the means of managing these risks and monitors how they are managed. Development and review of the risk management arrangements are the responsibility of the Board of Trustees.

The key financial risks identified by Board during 2022-23, together with the actions taken or intended to be taken in response to these risks is as follow:

Northamptonshire Sport’s response has been to:

A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, regular liaison with the bank, and active management of debtors and creditors balances to ensure sufficient working capital

f. Principal funding

Principal funding amounts for the period 2022-23 were :

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the 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 & 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 its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. 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.

Disclosure of information to auditor

Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Northamptonshire Sport (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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).

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.

Page 12

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual 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, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.

Page 13

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT (CONTINUED)

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:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

Page 14

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT (CONTINUED)

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

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 directors 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 its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. General information

Northamptonshire Sport is a charitable incorporated organisation incorporated in England and Wales. The registered address is Delapre Abbey, Delapre Park, London Road, Northampton, NN4 8AW.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Northamptonshire Sport meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, 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 financial statements.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Plant and machinery - 10% on a straight line basis
Sports equipment - 25% on a straight line basis
Buildings - 10% on a straight line basis

2.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities 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 estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.9 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.10 Pensions

The Charity contributes to a defined benefit pension scheme in relation to employees who have been transferred over. The ongoing liability of the scheme remains with the previous employer and the charity is only liable for the ongoing contributions set by the scheme actuary. Accordingly, this is being accounted for consistent with the defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

2.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted 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.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
