Limitation of scop•
The charity did not obtain a valuatson for its investment property al 37 March 2022, as il was
thought that a reliable valuation would be hard to obtsin given ongoing uncertainty in the
comrrercial market. We were unable to sats.sfy ourselves by altemative means conceming
the valuation of the investrnent property at that date by using other audit procedures.
Consequenlty, we were unable lo detemine whether any adjustments might have been
found necessary in respect of the investment property valuation.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS
IUKII and applicab￿ law. Our responsibilities undar those standards are further descnbed in
the auditor's reswnsibll￿"eS for the audit of the accounts section of our report. We arg
independent of the charity in accordance wrth the ethical requirements that are relevant lo
our audit of the accounts in the UK. inclL¢ding the FRC'S Ethical Stsndard, and we have
fulfilled our other èthical resw)nsibilits"es in accordance with these requirèments. We believe
that the audtt evidence we have obtsined is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

Our approach lo idenlrfying and assessing the risks of material m¢sstatemenl in respect of

Tho Charity ¢x)nstitutes a public benefft entrty as defined by FRS 102.
Critical estimates and judgements
The most signthcant areas of judgement and key assumptions that affect items in the
fin8naal ststements are in relalk)n lo:
The charty's investment property valuation. The investment propety portion is
carried at the last fomial Valuati￿ conducted in 2017, and as such this is only an
estimate of the current value of this wrtion of the property. The charity did not obtain
an updated valuation for its investrnent property at 31 March 2022. as il was thought
that a reliable valuation woukl be hard to obtsin given ongoing Un￿rtaInty in the
commercid market..
Thè valuation of the liabilty in relation to the pension of the lormer employee in the
prior year.. and
The bad debt proVis￿n induded in respect of rental incorne in the prior year.
With respect to the nexl reporting for the year ended 31 March 2023, Ihe most
significant areas of uncertainty that affect the c8rying value of assets held by the charity
are the level of investment return and Ihe perfornian￿ of the investment markets.

Assessment of going ¢oncem
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concem assumption is
appropriate in Preparing these financial statements. The Trustees have made this
assessment in respect to a period of one year from the dale of approval of these financial
statements.
Thè Trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on Ihe ability of the charity to continue as a
going concem.
As set out in the Iru5tees' report, the trustees have Cons￿ered the impact of the pandemic
on the charty and have concluded that although there may be some n￿ative
consequences, il is appropriate for the charity lo continue to prepare ils accounts on the
gThng rnncern basis.
Income recognition
Income is re￿gnIsed in the per*)d in whi¢h the charity is entitled to receipt and tha
amount can be measured reliabty and rt is probable that the Income will be received.
Income is defe￿ed onty when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled
to rt or where the donor or funder has specified that the income is to be expended in a
lutufe accounting period.
Income comprises donations, legacies, income from fiJndrai5ing events, investment
income and other income.
Donations are recognised when the chanty has confirniation of both the amount and
settlement dale. In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amount is accrued
for where the receipt is considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject to
conditions that require a level of pèrfomiance before the ¢harity is entilled lo the funds. the
income is deferrwj and not recognised until erthèr those conditions a￿ fully met. or lh8
luifilmenl of those Gonditions is wholly ￿thin the control of the charity and it is probable
thal those conditions will be lulfilled in Ihe reporting period.
Legacies are included in the stalemenl of financial activities when the charity is enlilled lo
the legacy. the executors have estsblished that there are sufficient surplus assets in the
estate to pay the legacy. and any conditions attached lo the legacy are within the control
of Ihe charity.
Investment irwme in respect of listed investmenl is recognised once the dividend or
intèrest has been declared and nobficalion has been rèceived of the amount dkjè.
Investment income in respect of the charrty's investment property Irenl and servic9

Expenditure
Liabilities are ￿C(￿j￿ised as &xpenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive
obligation commith.ng the chanty to make a payment lo a third paty. il is probable that
transfer of econofflic benefits will be required in setuement and the amount of the
obligation can be r￿s￿red reliab￿.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. and is allocated lo the appropriate
heading in the financial statements.
Charttable expendf(ure comprise grants and financial assistance which is provmded for

The costs of raising funds comprise tl)ose cosls directly attributable to managing the

Flnancial instruments
The Charily only holds basic financial instnjments as defined in FRS 102. The financial
assets and financial lialN"lits"es of the Charty and their measurement basis are as follows..
Financial assets- other debtors and accrue(l I￿orne are basic financial instruments and
are debt instruments measured al amortised cost as detailed in note 12. Prepayments are
not financial instruments.
Cash at bank- is dassffied as a basic ffinan(ial instrument and is MeaSu￿d at face value.

other Creditors. 8ccnJals and the pension liabilty are financial
instruments. and are measured al arnortised cost as detsiled in notes 13. Deferred income

Investment property
The property has no historical cost to the Charity as rt was 9ifted lo the Fund. The property
is held at a valuation conducted in 2017. The charity did not obtsin a valuakn.on for rts
investment property al 31 March 2022, as Il wa5 thought that a reliable valuation would tre
hard to obtain given ongoing un¢ertainty in the commercial market. Any surplus or deficit
arising is reflected within the statement of financial activities and Is re¢ognised in the
reserves.
Listed investm•nt$
Investments have been stated in the balance slwt at market value at th8 year end.
Realised and unrealised gains and kjsses are shown in the statement of financial
activities.
Fix•d assets
Assets p¢Jrchased with a cost or value exceeding £1,500 are capilalised.
Flxed assets are capitalised al or in the case of the propety at valuation. Those
which arè not freehold property. i.e. office equipment, are dep￿CIated on a straight line
basis over Ihwr useful economic lrfe as follows:
Office equipment- 33% per annum on cost.
No depreciation is Provided on the Trust's freehold properbes as Tt is considered that there
is no material drff8rence be￿een the residual value of the freehold properties and their
C8rrwng value. The economic Irf8 of the freehokl properties Is, in the Truslees. opinion,
significantly greater than fifty years. It is the￿fore considered that any charge to
depreciation on freehold properties would be Immaterial in the context of these financial
stslemenls.
The freehold pmperties were last revalued as at 31 March 2017. The car￿.ng values of
these revalued assets a￿ reviewed annually for impaimienl and no provisK)n for any
impairment was made as at 31 March 2022.
Debtors
Debtors are re¢ognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-
recoverability. Prepayrnents are valued at the amount prepaid. Debtors have b88n
discounted to the present value of the futtjre cash receipt where such discounting is
material.

Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are r8cognised when therè is an obligation 8t the balance sheet
