Trustees’ Report
Since August 2022 when we started Cedar, we have helped & trained rural disadvantaged communities in SE Asia with income generational skills & life lessons. Also, during this year, 2 of our Trustees (at their own expenses) undertook a trip to Israel where they also planned to meet up with a lady in the Northern of Israel who was providing essential care to disadvantaged & disabled people to help them.
Looking forward to 2024 we will continue our focus on helping rural communities in SE Asia who need a hand up in life along with exploring new trainings which will increase the range of villages being helped. We really want to thank our supporters so much for their shared hearts and help towards those less fortunate in life

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
1. Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Fund accounting policy
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Income
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.
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:
-
the charity has entitlement to the funds;
-
any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity;
-
there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and
-
the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions into foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Ongoing transactions are also are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
