Trustees' Report For the Year Ended 31 March 2022
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity and Group for the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charity and the group comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity and the group's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" effective 1 January 2019.
Since the group and the Charity qualify as small under section 383 of the Companies Act 2006, the Group Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
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.
The principal objective of the Trust has been, in general, to help create sacred mosaics in Roman Catholic places of worship in England and in particular to provide the means to complete the mosaic decoration of Westminster Cathedral. The Trustees believe that creating sacred mosaics of the highest artistic and technical standards are an effective means of bringing the good news and joy of God’s mercy and love to the people of the United Kingdom.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
The Trust remains determined in working to help start a specialist Roman Catholic sacred art mosaic workshop, to create mosaics in Catholic Places of Worship and to honour Our Lady of Walsingham at the shrine and other buildings associated with the work of the shrine. The Trustees hope that in the future the Catholic Sacred Arts Trust may be able to offer additional assistance to incorporate sacred mosaics at the shrine as the Trustees are agreed that they will respect the wish of the donor to entrust the fulfilment of the Trust’s long term objectives to the care of Our Lady of Walsingham.
c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
The Trustees have, with the assistance of the Artistic Director, created a mosaics workshop and the means of making their own gold mosaic utilising gold donated to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham by pilgrims and purchased from the shrine at an agreed premium to the market price for gold to assist the finances of the Shrine. The Trustees have completed mosaic projects at the Catholic Church of St Ethelburga, Barking and Corpus Christi Church at Maiden Lane, London. The completed mosaics have been donated to the churches. The Trustees have also commenced the preliminary work for providing a series of mosaics at the Catholic Church of St Margaret’s Canning Town, London. The Trustees are in the process of negotiating a Donor Contract with the Parish Priest and Trustees of St Margaret's Church.
d. Public benefit
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. All the mosaics which the Trust is responsible for installing are in places of worship open to the public, as such they enrich the aesthetic environment and ambiance of the sacred spaces available to the public.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 March 2022
Objectives and activities (continued)
e. Grant-making policies
The main purpose of the grants made by the charity is to fund the design and installation of mosaics in English Catholic places of worship. Secondary purposes include providing help to the National Catholic Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham for its redevelopment programme and establishing mosaics prayer groups.
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
The activities of the Trust in the past year were to undertake mosaic projects as previously described at the Corpus Christ Catholic Church, Maiden Lane, and to continue to finance research into the sourcing and types of materials to be used in the creation of sacred mosaics.
During the year the income for the Charity was £209,796 (2021: £243,388) and expenditure was £232,580 (2021: £301,400). During the year there has been a part reversal of a previous intercompany debt write off of £895,065 (2021: write off £7,399,432). When consolidated with the results of its subsidiaries, Walsingham Capital Limited (WCL) and Sacred Mosaics Limited (SML), the income of the Group was £2,682,940 (2021: £2,394,268) and expenditure was £1,894,471 (2021: £9,878,732). This gives a Group surplus for the year of £788,469 (2021: deficit £7,484,464).
b. Investment policy and performance
The Trustees have absolute discretion as to the investments that may be made and are content that their policy of retaining cash is both prudent and sensible.
Financial review
a. Going concern
The Trustees have considered the impact that high levels of UK inflation will have on the Group, together with other market conditions prevailing at the year end. Notwithstanding the prior year impairment in valuation of the Macclesfield project in the 100% subsidiary Walsingham Capital Limited during the year ended 31 March 2021, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity and Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
b. Reserves policy
At 31 March 2022 the Group held reserves of £5,686,033 (2021: £4,897,564) of which £5,680,818 (2021: £4,892,349) were restricted and £5,215 (2021: £5,215) were unrestricted. Of the restricted funds £4,154,332 (2021: £4,352,029) will not be realised until the property development trading activities undertaken by Walsingham Capital Limited, are complete. The Trustees do not currently have a target level of reserves but consider that sufficient funds are available for the Trust and the group to continue to operate effectively.
c. Principal funding
The principal funding of the Trust was a gift from a private individual in 2015 via a restricted trust. The Trust does not seek funds from the general public nor has it received any further donations.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 March 2022
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by Memorandum and Articles dated 23 October 2019 togther with a Sacred Art Mosaics Trust Restricted Trust deed dated 24 October 2019.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
Trustees are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust Articles. New Trustees may be appointed by the existing Trustees and the Trust deed provides for a maximum of six Trustees.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
During the financial year the Trust had one paid employee and Sacred Mosaics Limited had one paid employee and three directors. The management of the Trust and the Group is the responsibility of the Trustees, and the Company secretary who maintains a centralised system recording payments and associated approvals and manages the administration of the charity.
d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
The Trustees have many years of experience as Trustees. All Trustees are encouraged to read the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) and refer to Charity Commission guidance as part of their training.
e. Related party relationships
The Trust has control over Walsingham Capital Limited as it is wholly owned by the restricted trust. The principal activity of Walsingham Capital Limited during the period was the trading of property development type assets.
Sacred Mosaics Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Walsingham Capital Limited, was incorporated on 18 April 2018 and began trading during the financial period ended 29 March 2020. Its principal activity is artistic creation being mosaic research, design and construction.
f. Risk management
The Trustees are not aware of any major risk to the Trust's own assets. The Trustees are in regular communication with the Directors of Walsingham Capital Limited to ensure the funds loaned to that company achieve an appropriate return. Walsingham Capital Limited holds various short term property trading assets and the Directors of Walsingham Capital Limited aim to ensure the return on those assets is maintained at the required level without applying any undue risk to the company.
Various unforeseen issues have extended the original target timescale of the Macclesfield project undertaken by Walsingham Capital Limited. An initial delay occurred in the negotiation of the Infrastructure Agreement which, once in agreed form, took Cheshire East Council a further 13 months to execute. Consequently, this delayed validating the Section 106 Agreement and hence the unconditional grant of outline planning approval was deferred. On approval of outline planning consent a neighbouring party launched a Judicial Appeal. This Appeal was subsequently defeated and the costs of defending the action recovered; however, this added a further 12 months of the project being in limbo. During the period the Trustees were in regular direct contact with the project managers and professional team to ascertain progress. For the purposes of oversight and risk mitigation the Trustees remain in regular dialogue with the professional advisers, and are updated with a monthly written report although communicate orally more frequently at least weekly.

Information on fundraising practices
The charity does not currently undertake any public fundraising activity.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) 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).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Charity and of their incoming resources and application of resources, including their income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group and the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and 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:
-
so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable group's auditor is unaware, and
-
that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable group's auditor is aware of that information.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Charity Balance Sheet, the Consolidated 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).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 Group 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 Group's or the parent charitable company'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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust (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:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the parent charitable company has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 Group's and the parent charitable company'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 Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 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:
Based on our understanding of the group and the sector as a whole, and through discussion with the Trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety, anti-bribery and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Second Edition (released October 2019), the Companies Act 2006, taxation, pension legislation and other relevant charity legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated Trustees' and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks related to posting inappropriate journal entries to increase revenue or reduce expenditure and management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements such as the valuation of property stock and recoverability of debtors. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations (including health and safety) and fraud, and review of the reports made by management; and
-
Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and
-
Review of cash and credit card expenditure to confirm no evidence of personal benefit; and
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, including related party transactions, that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and
-
Confirmation of related parties with management, and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and
-
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, and reviewing correspondence with relevant tax and regulatory authorities; and
-
Review of significant and unusual transactions and evaluation of the underlying financial rationale supporting the transactions; and
-
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year end for financial statement preparation.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.

The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust
(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust (continued)
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charitable company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in my Auditor's Report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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 Companies Act 2006.
The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust 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. The figures in the financial statements are presented in pounds sterling rounded to the nearest whole pound.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Consolidated Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiary undertakings. The results of the subsidiaries are consolidated on a line by line basis.
The income and expenditure account for the year dealt with in the accounts of the Trust showed a surplus of £872,281 (2021: deficit of £7,457,444). This includes the reversal of a provision in relation to an intercompany debt of £895,065 (2021:write off £7,399,432).
The Group has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Financial Activities in these financial statements.
1.2 Going concern
The Trustees have considered the Charity and Group’s cash and net asset position, making appropriate enquiries and reviewing forecasts of future trading levels and cashflow covering at least 12 months from the date of these accounts. The Trustees have formed a judgement at the time of approving the financial statements that they fully expect the Charity and Group to have sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the long-term return on the Macclesfield project will be in excess of the valuation at 31 March 2022. The Trustees consider the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.3 Income
All income, including donations receivable, 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.
Interest on funds held on deposit and short term loans is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Trustees.
The subsidiary Walsingham Capital Limited operates with two different types of trade. One is to primarily deal with the development and selling of land, and the other is interest income received in exchange for financing the cost of land or property.
Interest income and expense for all financial instruments are recognised in 'Net interest income' as 'Interest income' and 'Interest expense' in the profit and loss account using the effective interest method. Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable.
The subsidiary Sacred Mosaics Limited recognises income from artistic creation, being mosaic research, design and construction in the period in which the research, design or construction work is performed. Income from artistic creation is recognised to the extent of recoverable costs incurred.
1.4 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.
Support costs are those incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Trust and compliance with constitutional and statuatory requirements.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Trust's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Trust apportioned to charitable activities.
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.
1.5 Government grants
Government grants are credited to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as the related expenditure is incurred.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.6 Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable trust for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively for charitable purposes.
The Trust receives no exemption in respect on Value Added Tax (VAT) and is not VAT registered.
Walsingham Capital Limited (WCL) and Sacred Mosaics Limited (SML) donate all taxable profits to the Sacred Art Mosaics Trust (SAMT), the restricted fund of The Catholic Sacred Arts Trust.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 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:
- Computer equipment 3 years straight line
1.8 Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
1.9 Stocks and work in progress
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.
During previous years the subsidiary, Walsingham Capital Limited, has entered into an agreement to acquire the rights to the profits from a property development project as a joint venture. The directors have deemed it appropriate to disclose the value of the rights obtained within stock, as the company plays an active role in the development of the properties which it has funded.
Mosaics work in progress represents expenditure incurred on unfinished mosaics including design, research and construction. Completed mosaics are to be donated to the church for which they have been created. As such the selling price is deemed to be equivalent to the cost and therefore mosaics work in progress is stated at cost.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.10 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transactions costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.11 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.
1.12 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.
1.13 Financial instruments
The Group 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.
1.14 Pensions
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year.
1.15 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 Group 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 Group 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.

2. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Estimates and judgements 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 Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The 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 are discussed below.
Provision against interest
Accrued interest due to Walsingham Capital Limited is provided against to the extent that the recovery of the interest is considered doubtful. The provision against interest is an accounting estimate made by the trustees, and requires judgement in assessing the recoverability of the debtors.
Profit share not recognised
Financial assets are recognised only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Charity and Group, and the value can be measured reliably. Profit sharing rights in relation to property development projects undertaken by Walsingham Capital Limited have not been recognised as the value cannot be measured reliably.
Classification of stock
The property development projects undertaken by Walsingham Capital Limited are classified as stock, rather than a current asset investment, where there is a profit sharing element to the commercial arrangement and where the Directors of Walsingham Capital Limited have an active involvement in the project management.
Impairment
At each reporting date an assessment is made for impairment for stock and debtors. This assessment is derived from market valuations obtained for each associated property project based on the project status at the reporting date. The valuations will contain significant judgements in relation to various factors including planning permission progression, local infrastructure plans, environmental uncertainties and the cost of materials for development. These include a high degree of estimation uncertainty and there is a significant risk that there may be a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year.
