Transfers between funds

The transfer between funds represents the transfer of general funds to a specific restricted fund for a small overspend in the year.

Many grants in restricted funds are for the capital development of the charity property. The conditions of the grants are variable, however the charity has adopted a policy of holding the building development addition in restricted funds until such date the building refurbishment is complete, at which point all assets will transfer to the General fund for revaluation at fair value.

15. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
