Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the truslees to further any of the charity's purposes. Desigr)aled fLJnds are unreslricled fvnds earmarked by the tnjstees for particular future project or commitment. Resthcted funds are subjected lo restricbons on their expenditure dedared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. and fall into one of two sub-dasses". restricted income lunds or endowment funds. Incoming resources All incoming resources are inclu¢Jed in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed lo the charity- il is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amunl can be reliably measured. The follomng specific poI￿leS are applied to particular categories of income". income from donations or grants is recognised when there is eviden￿ of entrtlement to the gifL receipt is probable and ils amounl can be measured reliably. - legacy inwme is recognised when receipt is probable and enlitlement is estsblished. income from donated goods is measu-ed at the fair vdue of goods unless Ihis is impractical to measure reliably. in which case the value is derived from tTre cost to Ihe donor or the ests'maled resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received il the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general vdunteers income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted serviix. This is classffied as unreslricled funds unless Ihere is a conlraclual requiremenl lor it to be spent on a parbcular purpose and returned if UnS￿nI, in which case il may be regarded as restricted. Rosourcos •xpond8d Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered. and is dassified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates.. expenditur8 on raising funds indudes the costs of all fundraising activitl8s, evènts, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. expenditure on tharitatle activilies includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activiiies that further its charitable airns for the benefit of its beneficiaiies. including those support cosls and costs relating lo the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. other expenditure includes all expèndibJre Ihal is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its èxpenditure ori Gharitable aGtivities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories relecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attribLrtable to a single activity are allocated directly to th21 activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute lo on a reasonable. justifiable and consistent basis. Tangible assets Tangible as$ets are initially rwded at cosL and sUbsequen￿Y stat￿ at cosi less any accumulated depreciation and impairmenl losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value al the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulaled depreciation arTrd subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amunt of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains 2nd losses, unless it reverses a charge for impaimienl that has previously been recognised as expenditure within Ihe statement of financial activities. A decrease in Ihe carrying amount of an asset as a resull of rewalualion, is recognised in other recogllised gains and losses, ex￿pt to Nthich it offset5 any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other reccwanised gains and losses on Ihe statement of financial activities.

Depreciation DepreG13t1￿ is calculated so as to write off the or valuation of an asset. less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows= Fixlures and fittings Motor vehicles c￿er 5 10 10 Years Straighl line 25% reducing balance Freehold propert is not depreciated In accordance to FRS102. 8s the InC￿2$e in valuè on account of location And the UK property market. Depreciation will not correctly reflect the carrwng value in use. Impairnient of fixed assets A review for indicators of impaimient is carried out al each reporting date. with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the (2rrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impaimienls are also reviewed for possible reversal al each rep)rting date. For the purposes of impairnellt testing. when it is not possible to est'mate the recoverable amount of an individual asset. an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of Ihe cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generalirbg unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that ircludes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent ol the Gash inllows fiom other assets 01 groups of asseis. Financial instruments A financial asset or a fina￿la1 liabilty is recognised only when the charity becomes a party lo the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basi¢ financial instruments are irmtially rewgnised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabiltties are subsequently measured at Ihe cash or other consiéeralion expected lo be paid or received and nol discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently m8asur8d at amortised cost Wh8r8 inv8stm8nts in shar8s are publidy traded or their fair valLJe can otherwise be measured reliably. Ihe investrnent is subsequently WT*asured at fair value wtth changes in fair value recogni5ed in income and expenditure. Al other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an assel is deferred beyond nomial business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate. in which case the assat is measured al tho present value of thg fulure payments discounted at a markel ral8 of intgresl lor a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in Ihe slalemerhl of finanaal activities. with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relaty'onship.

Financial assets that are measured al cost or amortised c05t are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective eviden￿ of impaiment. an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the staternent of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significan￿, and other financial assets that are individually significant. these are assessed individually for impaimienl. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk tharacteristics. Any reversals of impaimieil are recognised immediately, lo Ihe extent that the ieversal does not result in a carrying ar￿)unt of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impaitrnelll not previwsly tEen recognised. 4.
