Basis of independent examiner's report

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

PEOPLES HELP FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 2 April 2025
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
PEOPLES HELP FOUNDATION is a charity incorporated in the United Kingdom. The registered office of the charity is 1 Edmund Street, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD5 0BH, United Kingdom which is also the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the charity.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
As permitted by the Charities Act, the charity has varied the standard formats in that act for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Departures from the standard formats are to comply with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that SORP.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 2 April 2025 have been prepared on the going concern cash basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
Fund accounting
The following are the categories of funds maintained:
Restricted funds
Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds consist of General and Designated funds.
-
General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
-
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the board has, at its discretion, set aside for particular purposes. These designations have an administrative purpose only, and do not legally restrict the board's discretion to apply the fund.
Income
Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.
Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related donations or grants which may have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from donators, government and any other co-funders is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements (if applicable). Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors. However, as most of the funds (donations) are received direct by bank transfers then the date the funds are received is the date the charity is entitled to that income.
The charity, is committed to acting in the best interests of the beneficiaries. This includes responsibility to ‘know your donor’ and carry out appropriate and proportionate due diligence and risk assessment related to acceptance of money or gifts.

for the financial year ended 2 April 2025
Expenditure
Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed, according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.
Taxation
No current or deferred taxation arises as the charity has been granted charitable exemption. Irrecoverable valued added tax is expensed as incurred.
3. PROVISIONS AVAILABLE FOR SMALL ENTITIES
In common with many other charities of our size and nature, we use our accountants to assist with the preparation of the external financial statements.

8. POST-BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
There have been no significant events affecting the Charity since the financial year-end.
9. GOING CONCERN AND WINDING UP OR DISSOLUTION OF THE CHARITY
The charity has sufficient cash at the year end and has raised further funds since then, which provide adequate resources to finance committed development programs, along with the day to day operations. The trustees monitor the expenditure level and adjust development expenditure to ensure that it is only incurred when sufficient funds are available to cover payments as they fall due. On this basis, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the association has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of twelve months after the date on which this report and financial statements are signed. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.
If the charity were to be dissolved or wound up, the trustees would pass any net assets to similar organizations and deserving causes.
