Edgware Abbey 

## Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 30 June 2022 

The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared on the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's trust deed, applicable law and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005). 

## Charity objects 

The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities are undertaken to further Edgware Abbey’s charitable purposes for the public benefit. 

The Objects of the Charity are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrines and principles of the Church of England, and to carry out the social mission of the church through the support of charitable work for the relief of poverty, through the maintenance of a religious Community of women, organised in accordance with the Rule of St Benedict and dedicated to St Mary at the Cross. 

## Historical summary 

Founded in Shoreditch in 1866, this Anglican Benedictine Community closed its original hospital for ‘incurable children’ in 1931, moving the sick and disabled people in its care to what became the only house of the Order, in Edgware. Built by the Community in 1874 to provide a convalescent home in the country for those in their care, the convent at Edgware was extended in 1932 to provide necessary accommodation following the closure of the Shoreditch Hospital. The disabled and sick people in the care of the Sisters shared the convent buildings until 1992, when they moved into the newly built Care Home in the Abbey grounds, Henry Nihill House, (HNH). HNH is a not-for-profit Home in the Voluntary Sector, and is subsidised by the Charitable Trust. 

The Trust holds the legal title to the land and buildings used by the Community (Edgware Abbey) and also a substantial portfolio of other investments and property, which produce income for the support of the Community and its charitable works. The principal charitable work carried out by the Community is the provision and conduct of a Care Home with nursing, Henry Nihill House. The Community also holds services in the chapel, to which HNH residents have easy access, provides the facility for parish groups to hold Quiet Days and study days, and guest accommodation for private retreats and space for rest and renewal. 

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

In 2010 the Trustees made a decision to invite the Hospitaller Order of St John of God to undertake the overall operational management of Henry Nihill House as the Order operated with 

3 



Edgware Abbey 

## Trustees’ annual report 

## For the year ended 30 June 2022 

an ethos that is very close to that of St Mary at the Cross. On 1 February 2011, the Trustees entered into a management contract with the Order of St John of God in which they undertook the overall responsibility for the leadership and operational management and staffing of the Home (which remains the property of the Trust) with quarterly review meetings for trustees and management team, to discuss all aspects of the running of HNH including an appraisal of costs and budgeting. 

In August 2020 the board decided to terminate the arrangement with St John of God bringing the operational management back in house, taking up employment of staff from 1[st] April 2021. A review was be completed at 16 to 18 months post SJOG a review of the situation for sustainability proposed a senior management level for Director of Operations and taken to the board for consideration. 

HNH, which is a home for adults with 30 beds, is registered with the CQC - Care Quality Commission, under the Health & Social Care Act 2008, for the provision of: 

a) Accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care; b) Treatment of disease, disorder or injury. 

There is a constant demand for beds in HNH, a not-for-profit Home in the Voluntary Sector, and full occupancy is the norm. The Home has Spot Beds with Barnet Council, is registered for Continuing Health Care, and on average 33% of residents paying their own fees for as long as their financial circumstances allow; no-one is ever turned away when their resources run out. While service users who can afford the costs pay fees until their financial resources diminish, the Home depends largely on NHS and Local Authority funding for the majority of those in care, and where necessary on subsidy from the Trust. 

It is well known that it is not possible for a Care Home to maintain acceptable standards on Local Authority levels of funding. Barnet Council have only raised their funding level very slightly for several years now, and HNH is regularly subsidised from the Charity Trust funds; however skilfully this not-for-profit Home is managed the impact of low funding, and delayed payments, from Local Authorities and NHS sources make it impossible for the Home to maintain its high standards of care without the support of the Trust. During 2021/2022 this situation was made much worse by the merge of the North Central Care Board which created a backlog of funding to HNH – a very distressful time.  Clearly HNH needs to rely on fundraising and Trust subsidy for all major maintenance works on buildings and grounds, legal and professional fees, insurance, expensive equipment, provision of specialised vehicles, pilgrimages and holidays for residents, and other special projects. In the present 2022 economic climate with the financial crisis enhanced by the on-going effects of Covid-19 and ‘Brexit’ , rising inflation and fuel costs due to war in Ukraine, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the level of funding required. 

## Mission statement and ethos 

Edgware Abbey - an Anglican Benedictine Community, founded in 1866; a registered Charitable Trust: "To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrines and principles of the

Edgware Abbey 

## Trustees’ annual report 

## For the year ended 30 June 2022 

Church of England, and to carry out the social mission of the Church through the support of charitable work for the relief of poverty, through the maintenance of a religious community of women organised in accordance with the Rule of St Benedict and dedicated to St Mary at the Cross." 

In addition to its Ministry of Benedictine Hospitality for those seeking Sacred Space and Retreat, and Spiritual Renewal, the Community is the provider of care for 30 residents at Henry Nihill House Care Home with nursing.  People of all faiths or none are welcomed. In accordance with the regulations of the Health and Social Care Act (2015); and in accordance with its Benedictine spiritual ethos, "Before all things, care must be taken of the sick; all are to be cared for as Christ Himself." (Rule of St Benedict Ch 36 reflecting St Matt. 25:36.40) through a bespoke service which is delivered to each person in a professional, inclusive and caring manner by upholding our values of Courtesy, Hospitality, Integrity, Individuality and Adaptability … Jesus said “What you have done unto the least of my brothers and sisters, you have done unto me” (Matt 25:40) 

At Henry Nihill House Care Home, built adjoining Edgware Abbey, the presence of the Sisters and provision of chapel services is a valued dimension in the life of those who reside at Henry Nihill House; the Sisters maintain a presence in the home, working with the management and staff. A bespoke service is provided upholding the rights of each person in their choices, and to retain dignity, respect, privacy and freedom in their daily lives.  Many who cannot be cared for elsewhere find a friendly welcome and expert care in the loving and homely atmosphere of Henry Nihill House, this ministry reflects the original charism and purpose/objects of our charity from its foundation. Everyone's need, both service users and colleagues, for continued fulfilment in life is seen as a gospel value: 

Jesus said: "I am come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly." (St John 10:10b) 

## Property management 

When the decision was made to sell the old Abbey buildings, conversion of laundry and other outbuildings to create dwellings for Sisters was approved by English Heritage. This has enabled the Sisters to remain living on-site and maintain their charitable works. 

## Financial review 

Income for the year increased to £2,363,004 (2021: £2,237,144). Dividend income has decreased by £405 (2021: decrease of £87,595). There was an increase in Care Home income of £210,701 (2021: increase of £19,632). There have also been restricted grants received for covid support of £43,400 (2021: £80,473). 

Expenditure increased to £2,722,001 (2021: £2,463,290). The charity made a Deficit of £1,400,300 (2021: surplus of £675,975). This is due to investments making a large deficit for the year end of £1,041,303 (2021: gain of £902,121). At the end of the year net unrestricted funds were £16,601,157 (2021: £17,967,542) and net current assets less restricted funds were £463,068 (2021: 427,743).

## Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 30 June 2022 

The trustees are confident that the financial position at the end of the year is satisfactory, in accordance with the careful activity of the Investment Managers. 

## Risk statement 

The main financial risk is of reducing investment income and the increasing costs of running Henry Nihill House. Investment income has decreased due to global economic situation, and the portfolio is reviewed quarterly to make sure it is achieving its objectives. 

Other risks include failing a CQC inspection or a serious incident at Henry Nihill House. The Trustees have reviewed these, and other risks facing the Charity, assessed their impact and put in place appropriate management actions including staff training to manage risks. The plans for the future drawn up by the Trustees and the actions they have decided to take, reflect their responsible stewardship and careful consideration. 

Covid-19 has presented a new challenge in risk management for finances and health care. With the government relaxing some of the Covid-19 restrictions through the summer of 2021, certain measures have remained in place, or adapted as appropriate, to protect the residents and staff of the Care Home, and continuing through 2022 and on-going. 

## Safeguarding Statement 

The Community of St Mary at the Cross with the Trustees of The Edgware Abbey Charitable Trust are committed to Safeguarding, regarding safeguarding  to be the responsibility of everyone, and promoting the welfare of all persons and especially all those who are vulnerable, that is children, young people, and adults - especially the vulnerable, frail and infirm in their care.  It is our expectation that all visitors/relatives at the care home will treat all the residents and staff with equal courtesy and respect at all times. We expect all our staff, volunteers, visitors, and those who use our premises to share this commitment. 

The Community of St mary at the Cross accept and abide by the principles set out in ‘Safeguarding in the Diocese of London’, and follow the guidance issued by the House of Bishops for Religious Communities, and adhere to the policies and practice guidance from the Diocese of London and National Safeguarding Team. We have a DSP.  We apply the rules of Safer Recruitment for our members and staff. Our Safeguarding Statement and Community Policy is reviewed annually. 

## Reserves policy 

The Trustees have built up reserves as a form of endowment for the Care Home and Community. The Charity needs to use these reserves to provide an income to support the members of the Community and its charitable work, and to provide a subsidy for the Care Home, in order to maintain quality of care. The amount held in reserves is reviewed regularly to make sure that it is sufficient to support the work of the charity. At the year-end free reserves, reserves not held in fixed assets, were £463,068 (2021: £427,743).

## Investment policy statement 

This Policy Statement has been prepared by the Trustees of the Edgware Abbey Charitable Trust and provides guidance as to how the asset's management functions delegated to Charles Stanley & Co. Ltd. by the Trustees, should be exercised. It has been formulated with a view to ensuring that the asset management functions will be exercised in the best interest of the Trust. 

## Investment objective 

The Trustees intend that the real value of their assets be maintained and enhanced over the long term by investment in a Portfolio comprised of equities, fixed income stocks and cash, while at least maintaining the level of income yield at between 4-5% per annum. During the year the Investments achieved this yield. 

## Investment restrictions

## Investment brief 

In order to meet these investment objectives, the Trustees have appointed Charles Stanley & Co Ltd. as their agent, to manage a diversified Portfolio of suitable investments on a discretionary basis. In the context of the Charles Stanley & Co Client understanding note, the Trustees have selected an income investment objective with low to medium risk. The proportion invested in equities, fixed income stocks and cash, shall be reviewed with Charles Stanley & Co from time to time, to provide guidance on the ongoing suitability of that element of the investment Policy.

## Review 

The Trustees will regularly consider whether there is a need to revise this Policy Statement and keep under review the arrangement under which Charles Stanley acts as their agent, and periodically review performance of Broker Company.  The Trustees receive a quarterly report on the performance of the Investment Portfolio. Investment meetings are held twice yearly to receive reports and to review the Portfolio. 

Within the year the income return was 4% across the year this was under the income yield set as above, affected by global events and circumstances. 

## Governance and structure 

For the purpose of the running of the activities of the Edgware Abbey, the trustees have delegated this responsibility to the Abbess of the community. The Trustees of the Trust currently number six; no more than seven persons shall be appointed by resolution of the Trustees; Trustees are appointed for terms of three years; any competent Trustee may be reappointed, (Subject to clause 2). When a new Trustee is to be appointed, the proposal takes place at a Trustees' meeting; after discussion the Appointee is proposed, seconded and elected by a show of hands, a simple majority being required. The solicitor is informed of the proposed change and a Deed of Appointment duly drawn up and signed by the existing Trustees. The Superior, (known as the Abbess) of the said Community of women, known as the Community of St Mary at the Cross, must always be a Trustee if competent to act, and at least a majority of the Trustees must be members of the Church of England or of churches in communion with the Church of England. 

New trustees receive an induction to their role through a series of meetings, discussions and the provision of important information regarding the Trust to ensure they know the work of the trust and the current issues it faces. Additional training is also provided where needed to new trustees if they have specific requirements as well as additional guidance on the Charity’s Commission available for trustees. 

## Remuneration policy for key management personnel 

Edgware Abbey is committed to ensuring that all staff are paid fairly. The Trustees decide the Key Management Personnel salary annually ensuring that the salary is in line with current market value, and adjusted accordingly.  The salary is set in line with role and responsibilities and maintain a deferential between roles.  The Trustees have worked towards the ‘Real Living Wage’ as set by the Living Wage Foundation and are now an accredited Living Wage Employer. 

Overall salary funding is part of the annual budget process, and within that approved budget the Key Management Personnel agree with the board any key payment changes.

The 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 state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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 in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

10 



Edgware Abbey 

## Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 30 June 2022 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures 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 operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent auditor’s report 

## To the members of 

## Edgware Abbey 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Edgware Abbey (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 charity’s affairs as at 30 June 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended 

- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice 

- 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 charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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 Edgware Abbey'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.

To the members of 

## Edgware Abbey 

## Other Information 

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ 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 in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- The information given in the trustees’ annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; 

- Sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- The 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 statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees 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 charity’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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 

13 



Independent auditor’s report 

## To the members of 

## Edgware Abbey 

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 are set out below. 

## Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities 

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: 

- We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to: 

   - Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; 

   - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; 

   - The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience. 

- We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

- We reviewed any reports made to regulators. 

- We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 

- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business. 

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 risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Community of St Mary at the Cross 

Notes to the financial statements 

## For the year ended 30 June 2022 

- 1 Accounting policies 

- a) Statutory information 

The Community of St Mary at the Cross Charitable Trust is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. 

The registered office address and principal place of business is Edgware Abbey, 94A Priory Field Drive, Edgware, Middlesex, HA8 9PU. 

## b) Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note. 

In applying the financial reporting framework, the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. 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. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below. 

## c) Public benefit entity 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

- d) Going concern 

The trustees have reviewed budget and considered the impact of covid and consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## e) Income 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. 

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

## f) Interest receivable 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Community of St Mary at the Cross 

Notes to the financial statements 

## For the year ended 30 June 2022 

- 1 Accounting policies (continued) 

## g) Fund accounting 

- Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes. 

Restricted funds are to be used for the specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund. 

## h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charity in managing its investment portfolio. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering care home services meetings and retreats and other meetings, undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## i) Tangible fixed assets 

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use. Assets are held at historic rates and are not revalued. 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows: 

>  Freehold property 100 years 

>  Freehold property improvements 20 years 

>  Fixture, fittings and equipment 5 years 

>  Motor vehicles 4 years 

## j) Listed investments 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments. 

## k) Debtors 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## l) Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and cash 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.

Notes to the financial statements 

## For the year ended 30 June 2022 

## 1 Accounting policies (continued) 

## m) Creditors and provisions 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## n) Pension 

Auto-enrolment for pensions are held the scheme with a company called Smart Pension (Market Rated) and pay government minimum 3%. The employees have an opt out period of 8 or 12 weeks before their own contribution % is taken – this is reflected in their payroll at the end of the opt out period by a larger deduction to the pension scheme.
