Trustees' Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the Charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departure disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detention of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 DECEMBER 202
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Principal Accountiong Policies
a. Accounting Convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historic cost convention. In preparing the financial statements, the charity follows the best practice as laid down in the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Repo rting by Charities" (SORP 2000) issued in October 2000.
To comply fully with The Statement of Recommended Practice, would require investments to be accounted for at valuation. The trustees are of the
opinion that since the investments are held for the long term, it would be inappropriate to account for unrealised gains and losses for the period. Therefore investments have been accounted for at historical cost. This is the only exception to compliance with The Statement of Recommended Practice. The market value of the investments is disclosed.
b. Income from members is credited to the income in the year in which it is receivable by the Association. All other income is credited to income in the year in which it is received on a cash basis.
c. Donations to other charities are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipients except in those cases where the offer is conditi oning, such as donations or grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attached are fulfilled.
d. Unrestricted funds are general funds which are available for use at the disc rection of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Asso ciation and which have not been designated for other purposes.
e. Tangible Fixed Assets
The tangible assets are stated at cost less depreciation. The general policy is to provide depreciation on fixed assets on a reducing balance method over their estimated useful lives. No depreciation is charged in the year in which the assets are sold or scrapped.
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated at rates appropriate to the assets concerned.
