NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Accountlng policies
1.1 Accountlng convention
The financial slatemenls have been prepared on a going concem basis under the historical I￿$t convention,
modrfied lo in¢Sude certain iterns al fair value.
The charity constitutes a public benefft entity as defi￿d by FRS 102.
The accounts {finanual stalementsl have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items
recognised al cost or transaction value unless otherwise ststed in the relevant note(sl lo these accounts. The
rinancial statements have been prepared in accordance wtth the second edits.on of the Charities Statement of
Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Rewrting Standard applicable in the United
Kingdom and Republic of Ire￿nd IFRS 102} and the Charilies Ad 2011.
The Trustees consider that there are no rnaterial uncertainl￿S about the tharity's abilty lo continue as a
going concem. The key risk to the charity is the potential reduction in income but the level of reserves held
is sufficient lo mrbgale this risk for the foreseeable fulure and is not considered to cast any doubt over Ihe
going concern basis. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the charity has continued to operate using other
methods within the guidelines of safety as recommended by the Govemment and the ch8rity's own risk
assessments. SeNices started lo tske place wrtually in March 2020 and steps were tsken throughout the
whole of the accounting year to keep the ChLFrch's activrties operating as much as possible. The Trustees
hope that the impact on the charity's financial position is minimised as a result. The trustees do not
currenuy believe there is an impact on the chanWs abilty to conts.nue as a going concern.
1.2 Fund accounting
