These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
**Donated goods**
**Contractual income and**
**performance related grants**
**Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
**Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.
On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and
the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and
included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when
receivable.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the
fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In
the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense
at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in
the trustees’ annual report.
**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria
are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the
SoFA.
**Support costs**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Volunteer help**
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the
SOFA.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the
gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
**Legacies**
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been
grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the
estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity
or have been met.
**Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
**Tax reclaims on donations**
**and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any
gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be
measured reliably.
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and
Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits
are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from
charitable activities.

be measured with reasonable certainty.| |**Governance and support**
**costs**|Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.| ||Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories| ||on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas,
or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.| |**Grants with performance**
**conditions**|Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.| |**Grants payable without**
**performance conditions**|Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.| |**Redundancy cost**|The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.| |**Deferred income**|No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.| |**Creditors**|The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts| |**Provisions for liabilities**|A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured
at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date| |**Basic financial instruments**|The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph
11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19,

The depreciation rates and| ||methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.| ||They are valued at cost.| |**Investments**|Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued| ||at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The| ||same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured| ||reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.| ||Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a| ||maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments| |**Stocks and work in**|Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net| |**progress**|realisable value.| ||Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value| ||based on the service potential provided by items of stock.| ||Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.| ||Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at| |**Debtors**|settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently,
they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.| |**Current asset investments**|The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash
equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash
equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to| ||meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.| They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. |Yes
