THE ALLEN LANE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of The
Allen Lane Foundation (the charityl for the year ended 31 March 2026.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set ovt in
notes to the account5 and comply with the charity'5 governing document, the Charities Act 2011
and 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 or Ireland IFRS 1021 (effective l January 20191- (Charites SORP IFRS 10211, the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021.
Objective5 and Activities
Objectlves and Publlc Benefit Statement
The Trust Deed states that the Foundation may make grants for 'general charitable purposes,. This
gives the Trustees considerable latitude to decide on priorities. The Trustees currently choose to
fund work which-
will make a lasting difference to people's lives rather than simply alleviating the symptoms
or current problems,.
Is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma and discrimination- and
encourages or enables group5 that experience disadvantage, marginalisation and/or
discrimination to share in the life of the whole community.
The Foundation has identified specific groups of people it believes are marginalised, vulnerable,
1501ated, and unpopular within the communities through which support can meet those objective5.
The Foundation awards funding through seven specific funding programmes that benefit people in
the following groups..
A5ylum-seekers and refugees
Gypsy, Traveller and Roma communities
Offenders and ex-offenders
Older people
People experiencing mental health problems
People experiencing violence or abuse
Young people
As the Foundation's resources are limited, it focu5ses on funding smaller organi5ations where Small
grants can have more impact. Grants are awarded to registered charities and organisations with
automatic charitable status. Grants can also be awarded to constituted groups and other forms of
organisations such as Community Interest Companies ICICI where their structure and governance
fit the Foundation's criteria. It currently makes grants in the UK, but does not make grants for work
in Greater London as it feels there are other significant grant-makers covering the capital. While
recognising land being willing to support) on-going, tried and tested projects, the Foundation is
particularly interested in unusual, imaginative or pioneering projects which have not yet caught the
public imagination.

THE ALLEN LANE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity
Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation's aims and
objectives and in planning future activities and setting grant-making policies.
The Foundation provides fundinE to organisations which demonstrate charitable purpose. Funding
provided enables the cau5e5 SUPPOrted to provide benefits to the public within those organisations,
specific aims and objectives. This is consistent within the aims of the Foundation. Where the grant
is made to a registered charity, the Trustees are confident that the grant has been made to further
a charitable purpose to the public benefit. Where grants are made to other organi5ations the
Trustees consider carefully how the funds will be used and make those grants with conditions to
ensure that they are spent appropriately and for charitable purposes. In all cases the Trustees seek
feedback on the actual use of the grants given, and the achievements made, so that they know how
funds were used in practice.
The explanations and feedback on the grants made are believed to be sufficient for monitoring the
quality of those grants and appropriateness of the size of the grant made. In grant making there is
always a necessary degree of trust that the applicant is honest and will use the funds wisely.
Achievements and Performance
Investment policy and performance
The Trust Deed authorises the Trustees to invest the Foundation's funds in the same unrestricted
manner as if they were the beneficial owners of the funds. Trustees have a clear and agreed
investment policy and objectives based on the advice of its investment managers, Canaccord
Genuity UK, who implement that strategy and report at every meeting to the Trustees on
performance and market conditions. The Trustees regularly review the investment policy and
objectives to ensure that it takes account of the overall objectives of the Foundation and identifies
any long-term risks to the portFolio.
Key financial performance indicators
The Foundation's portfolio made good progress in the year to 31st March 2026, with a total return
of 15.47% versus 10.60% for the peer group.
The headline performance belies significant volatility in financial markets throughout the year. In
April 2025, US President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on global trade partners Wlth the
stated aim of reducing the Us's trade deficit with other natlons. While tariff5 were expected, the
scale, breadth, and speed at which the US President wished to implement them caught markets off
guard. Equities moved sharply lower in response, before stabilising and gradually beginning their
recovery as Trump began to strike deals with affected nations to lower the overall tariff burden.
After a serie5 of delays and challenges to the tariffs, the overall impact was les5 than originally
feared.

THE ALLEN LANE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Disinflationary pressures continued throughout the year, raising the prospect of interest rate cuts in
202612027. This, in turn, would further ease the pressure on consumers and businesses, and
optimism for the year ahead continued to improve. Despite elevated geopolitical uncertainty
created by the new US administration, corporate profitability around the world generally exceeded
expectatlOn5 and equity markets recovered on strong underlying fundamental5.
The momentum in markets continued until March 2026, when the US and Isreal launched attacks
on Iran. The Strait of Hormuz was closed, causing disruption to global energy supplies and a sharp
increase in the price of oil and gas. Expectations of further falls in inflation and interest rate cuts
reversed, with markets now expecting a jump in inflation and the prospect of interest rate hikes.
Positive sentiment evaporated and markets once again lurched lower as investors digested the
potential implications of a drawn-out conflict and severe disruptions to global oil supplies. By the
end of the month land end of the period under reviewl, a fragile ceasefire had been aEreed, and
hopes were rising that an end to the conflict would be reached before too much damage to the
global economy.
The portfolio generated just over £750,005 of intome in the year to 315t March 2026, representing
a very modest decrease on the £761,210 received in the prior year. As the manager flagged in his
previous report, the weakness in the US dollar provided a headwind for dividends in sterling terms.
In addition to this, management teams have cited ongoing political uncertainty as a key reason why
dividends did not rise in line with underlying profitability. Nevertheless, corporate balance sheets
remain in good health with the retention of cash this year providing resilience for the year ahead,
and scope to increase capital distributions as uncertainties clear. As at 31" March 2026, the
portfolio is expected to generate in the region of £780,000 of income over the coming 12-month
period.
The Trustees continued to have consideration on the wider concerns around Socially Responsible
investing. The Fovndation's investment managers provide regular updates on the position of the
portfolio as it measure5 against Environmental, Social and Governance IESGI and Sustainability
ratings. The investments within the portfolio that score below-average are regularly reviewed and
discussed at the Trustees, Meetings, and the managers have taken action to reduce exposure to
areas rated 'below average, as and when they have seen suitable opportunities to do so.
Market volatility and geopolitical risk is set to remain elevated for the coming year, but the
manager is comfortable with the positioning of the portfolio and remains cautiously optimistic of
making further progress in the year ahead.
The Trustees continue to believe the portfolio is balanced, diversified, and tailored to meet their
specific needs and objectives. They would like to thank the investment management team at
Canaccord Genuity UK for their hard work and diligence during the year.
Charitable Grants
In 2025126 the number of applications for funding have continued to rise
with 748 applications
being reported on at the Trustee meetings. In previous years the average number received per
annum was around 500. Numbers have grown rapidly, particularly over the past two year5. This is

THE ALLEN LANE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
likely to be due to a number of factors including the increased use of Large Language Models IAII
in sourcing funders and writing applications; and also increased need through the very difficult
situation that the charitable sector is in currently.
In the last year, the Foundation committed to 127 new grants la slightly lower figure than the 141
grants awarded in the previous yearl. The total value of grants committed was £740,101, just
under the £752,526 awarded in 2024/25. Grant amounts ranged from £1,000 to £12,000, and the
average grant size awarded by the Foundation over all seven funding programmes was £5,828.
Most of the grants offered 1991 were single grants, with 22 grants over two years, and 6 over a
three-year period.
Half the grants committed1631 were to organisations that had applied to the Foundation before.
40 of those organisations had been successful with previous application5, and 23 had previous
applications turned down. 64 grants were made to organisations that were new to the Foundation.
Three of the funding programmes received the largest share of applications - People with Mental
Health Problems 12111, Young People 12011, and Older People 11491. Two of these programmes
resulted in grants being awarded of a similar amount of grant funding of around £150,000 over the
year
Older People and Young People. Whilst the Mental Health programme saw the largest
number of application5 being made, the overall amount committed was lower at around £129,000.
The chart below shows the overall value awarded across the funding programmes.
The Foundation makes grants for work across the UK, aiming for a good spread of funding across
the regions, as well as nationally-focussed projects. The area where the highest number of grants
were made was in the North West121 grants), and 17 grants were made for national work. Whilst 9
grants were made in Scotland, and 7 in Wales, there were none this year in Northern Ireland. This
was largely due to a very small number of applications Isevenl from Northern Ireland, none of
which were a good fit for the criteria - five of them being in the Young People programme.

From the 748 application$1597 last yearl reported on during the year, 6211456 last yearl were
refused. This resulted in an overall success rate of 17% which was lower than in recent times. The
People with Mental Health Problems programme and Young People programmes had succes5 rates
of just IO% and 12%. There are many, and varied reasons for this. A number of Mental Health
applications were focused on wellbeing support around low level mental health issues, whereas the
Foundation has a focus on supporting application5 for moderate to high level mental health
conditions. For Young people applications, the reasons were more mixed but included targeting the
wrong age group to a poor fit to the stated criteria. In addition, some applicants did not fit the
organisational criteria of the Foundation.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason,
they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Reserves policy
The Trustees are not required to make any distinction between capital and income, and aim to
maintain the real value of the legacy, while ensuring that the level of grant-making is not subject to
large fluctuations. Grant-making in any one year is not strictly related to the amount of investment
income received, but rather to an estimate of the amount which can be spent each year without
impairing the ability of the capital to sustain the same real level of Spending indefinitely into the

TRUSTEES, REPORT

future. Trustees consider that a large proportion of its tapital is used to invest to help generate the
necessary funds for its grant-making objectives.
At the end of the accounting period, the total amount of free funds the Foundation held was
£24,513,404 12025.. £21,941,351), being the total of unrestricted reserves le55 those amounts
representing tangible fixed assets. This was higher than the previous year, due to the performance
of the Foundation's investments rather than due to any change in the levels of expenditure
including the commitment to grants made. The Trustees accept that there can be fluctuations, both
up and down, in the value of its investments, and monitor these Carefully throughout the year.
The Trustees estimate that a minimum reserve (excluding investments) equivalent to one yearfs
operational expenditure is required. Investments are held as capital in order to provide income
from which to make grants. The Trustees aim to hold funds other than investments in order to
provide working capital for day to day needs. At the year-end reserve5, excluding investments,
amounted to £66,034 and annual running costs for the year amounted to £82,709. The Trustees
are satisfied that they hold sufficient operational reserves to meet the day to day needs of the
Foundation. However, the total reserves lintluding investments) need to be considerably higher
than this to generate the investment income required to continue the Foundation's grant making
activities.
Structure, governance, and management
The Foundation
The Allen Lane Foundation was set up in 1966 by the late Sir Allen Lane, founder of Penguin Books,
to SUPPOrt general charitable causes. Although the Foundation has no formal connection with the
publishing company, it has throughout its existence had a strong family connection with several
family members having served as Trustees including two of Sir Allen Lane's daughters. Currently,
the Foundation has seven Trustees, of whom three are members of the founder's family.
Appointment of Trustees
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted
under the terms of the Trust Deed. Trustee induction and training is informal, but appropriate for a
Foundation of this size. New Trustees are provided with copies of the governing documents, latest
set of accounts, and taken through the processes employed by the Foundation. Trustees can also
attend specific training or networking opportunities provided for by the Foundation's membership
of the Association of Charitable Foundations IACFI.
Pay policy for senior staff
The level of pay for staff is set by the Trustees after consideration of the size of the organisation,
the levels of responsibility, and the appropriate rates within the charitable sector.

THE ALLEN LANE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Administration
The Trustees are responsible for setting the overall strategies, policies, and funding criteria of the
Foundation including investments, making the final decisions on any grant awarded and for
agreeing an annual budget. Delegated responsibility is given to the Director to implement these,
and they provide all appropriate advice and guidance.
During the year, the Foundation's Director, Gill Aconley administered the Foundation's business on
a day-to-day basis. This was the first year Gill had been in post as the sole employee. In addition,
for the past 24 years the office was located in York, though during 2025 the landlord of the
premises gave notice that the building was to be sold. New office5 premises were secured and the
office moved in November 2025, to the market town of Kirkbymoorside in North Yorkshire, closer
to the Director's home.
Trustees generally meet three times a year, recently meetings have taken place in the offices of the
investment management company, Canaccord. Reports by the office are made to the Trustee5 at
every meeting with regular communication with the Chair between meetings.
Trustees can report that the cost of running the Foundation has remained steady, with continued
steps to keep operating costs at an appropriate level compared to the level of grants that could be
awarded. Administrative cost5 represent approximately 12.6% of grants committed.
The Trustees are grateful to Gill for her work in administering the Foundation.
Risk analysis and management
The Trustees have considered the risks faced by the Foundation. They are satisfied that appropriate
measures have been taken, and systems put in place to mitigate these risks and minimise the
impact on the Foundation, should difficulties materialise. Major risks that the Trustees have
considered and have taken steps to mitigate include.. having robust assessment and monitoring
processes, to ensure grants made are for work which is considered charitable- having a clear
investment policy which takes into account appropriate professional advice,. and ensuring that the
Foundation is compliant with legislation and regulations through taking any necessary professional
advice and employing experienced and knowledgeable staff.
Policy
The Trustees continued to recognise the impact on vulnerable individuals and across communities
faced with higher cost of living and pressures on public services. Where appropriate, they aim to
support core and running costs of organisations, rather than new projects or work. Over the past
two years there have been increasingly high demand for grants and therefore, Trustees continue to
review the Foundation's priorities and focus to manage that demand and mange expectations of
prospective applicants.
The Trustees are always keen to make the Foundation's criteria as clear as possible, to save
applicant5 from wasted effort and disappointment, although this mean5 that the guidelines list a

TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
significant number of 'exclusions" The eligibility quiz before the on-line application process also
assists prospective applicants determine whether they are eligible, without having to go on to
complete an application.
The Foundation's website was redesigned and refreshed recently, and gives better guidance to
those groups and organisations looking towards the Foundation for support, including providing
case studies of grants awarded. These case studies not only provide examples of the types of grants
the Foundation makes, but highlights the excellent work that is done by many of the organisations
supported. The Foundation, through its staff, 15 always available to provide advice and guidance
prior to any application submitted.
Future plans
The Trustees continue to maintain the amount of funds it has available annually for grant
distribution. To assist Trustees, they receive updates and policy statements from the staff to help
refine or make changes to the Foundation's grant-making policy. The Trustees will continue to
review the Foundation's work during the coming year and continue to reserve the right to offer
larger grants at their discretion.
Thanks
M05t importantly, the Trustee5 also wish to express their appreciation of those who have applied
for grants this year. We regret that there are many we are unable to help, but without their work, a
grant-making foundation like this would have no purpose. The Trustees and staff feel privileged to
be able to help with their work.

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

Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The
other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not
cover the other information and 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 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 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE ALLEN LANE FOUNDATION
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 the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 condurted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detert 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 15 detailed below..
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity
operate5, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of
material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we
considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended
Practice.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities,
including fraud, to be the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to
these risks included enquiries of trustees and management about their own identification and
assessment of the risks of irregularities, Sample testing on the posting of journals and reviewing
accounting estimate5 for biases.
Owing to the inherent limitation5 of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have
detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly
planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible
for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and
regulations.
These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from
fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate
failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on
the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.or
auditorsres
onsibilities. This
description forms part of our auditor's report.

I. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
al Statutory information
The Allen Lane Foundation is an unincorporated charity in England. The address of the registered office is
given in the charity information on page l of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's
operations and principal activities are the making of grants for general charitable purposes.
bl Basis of preparation
The Accounts 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 or Ireland IFRS 1021 (effective l January
20191 Icharites SORP IFRS 10211, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland IFRS1021 and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair, view and have departed from the
Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair
view,. Thi5 departure has involved following the 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 IFRS 1021 issued on 16 July 2015 rather
than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice effective from I
April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Allen Lane Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention,
modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is
the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
cl Going concern
As part of their assessment of the going concern basis of preparation, the trustees have considered the
forecasted income for the year to 31 March 2026. They have also informally considered the period up to
12 months from the signing of the accounts. The majority of the expenditure, being grants payable, is at
the discretion of the trustees and can be reduced if income falls. The charity also has sufficient reserves
to cover the current level of expenditure for several years ahead.
18

THE ALLEN LANE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
I. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the
charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus,
the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
dl Incorne
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such 35 share5. It includes
dividends and interest. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred
within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is
included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective
interest method and divided income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is
established.
e) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to
a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be
measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and
governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further
the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is
conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a
commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
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.
g) Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of
exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

h) Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Sch. 6, para. l of the Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the definition of a charity for UK income tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is
potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories
covered by Income Tax Act 2007, Part 10 s521 $537 or 5. 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act
1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
11 Tangible fixed assets and depreclation
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated
residual value, over their expected useful lives.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Office equipment
25% reducing balance
jl Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their
transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value
cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at Cost le55 impairment. Investment gains and
losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as 'Gains/lLossesl on investments,
in the statement of financial activities.
kl Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
11 Cash at bank and in hand

of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
ml Liabilities and provisions

event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benef it will be required in settlement, and the amount
of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
20

THE ALLEN LANE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
I. ACCOUNTING POLICIES l¢ontinuedl
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the
amount it has received as advanced payments for the good5 or Services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where
the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
n) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify a5 basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured at their settlement value.
ol Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services
are received.
pl Pen5ion5
Pension contributions paid by the charity into defined contribution pension schemes on behalf of its
employees are charged to the statement of financial activities.
ql Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in
furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
