## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
_For the year ended 06 August 2025_
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011. The Charity is a public benefit entity.
The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis and in sterling, rounded to the nearest £1.
## **Going concern**
The trustees have considered the Charity’s financial position and reserves and consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Income recognition**
Income is recognised when the Charity is entitled to it, receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured reliably. Donations are recognised when received. Grants are recognised when entitlement arises and any performance conditions have been met. Legacies are recognised when probate has been granted and the executors have confirmed there are sufficient assets in the estate.
## **Expenditure recognition**
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Expenditure is allocated to the relevant activity heading. Support costs are allocated to charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of those resources.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the Charity’s objects. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions imposed by the donor or by the terms of an appeal. Endowment funds are funds where the donor has specified that the capital is to be retained.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
## **Debtors and creditors**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price.
