BRENT LODGE BIRD & WILDLIFE TRUST – 2020/21 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

## **1.0 INTRODUCTION**
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of Brent Lodge Bird and Wildlife Trust for the year ended 30 June 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.
## **2.0 CHAIR’S SUMMARY**
The 2020 calendar year saw us admitting a total of 3,145 wildlife casualties and orphans. The ongoing effects of human influences, habitat loss, agricultural practices, depleted food sources and shrinking territories continue to have a devastating impact on British wildlife.
The Coronavirus pandemic presented significant challenges requiring rapid responses to government guidance whilst still maintaining a functional wildlife hospital. New facilities and patient admission protocols were put in place for social distancing, staff formed team ‘bubbles’, and all animal care volunteering and work experience placements ceased. This put additional strain on our staff and costs. It is testament to the resilience and flexibility of our team that patients continued to receive a high level of care with significantly fewer hands to help.
Medical costs and food bills rose, staffing and overtime costs increased and PPE equipment investment was costly. Our Charity shops closed, staff were furloughed, fundraising activities were cancelled or restricted, and direct donations dropped. We are grateful to the government furlough scheme and for local council grants which helped to off-set some of the financial impact. Careful management of our budget, together with creative fundraising, and an unexpected legacy enabled the Charity to maintain appropriate reserves.
Demand for our services continues upwards. To ensure we are not overwhelmed we continued with our “Big Build” programme of improvements and investment in new patient welfare facilities. Funding was secured to complete 5 new large mammal enclosures, build a patient recovery shed, purchase new kennels and incubators, and complete essential hospital upgrades.
Our wildlife welfare helpline answered thousands of calls from members of the public. A number of restricted grants are funding an Educational Officer to lead our ‘Respect & Protect’ outreach programme to raise awareness in schools and the local community.
During 2021 we paid tribute to our founder – Dennis Fenter, with an anniversary celebrating the 50 years since he began caring for injured wildlife.
Necessary changes were made to the Board of Trustees in order to ensure the skills and experience required for stewardship and good governance in our growing and forward-facing Charity. Thanks to the support of fundraisers, donors, and grants, we have outgrown our small Charity origins. The Board approved changing from a Charitable Association to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) so that we may improve wildlife patient care through a better framework for fundraising. The Board also approved the submission of a planning application for an Admissions Building to better triage incoming patients and improve bio-security on the hospital site.
Despite the unforeseen challenges, hundreds of birds and mammals were successfully rehabilitated and returned to their natural habitats. We are proud to report that the Charity continued to deliver on its mission. I am pleased to present the Trustees Report and Annual Accounts for the year beginning 1[st] July 2020 and ending 30[th] June 2021.

## **3.0 STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE**
## **3.1 Governing Documents**
The Trust is an unincorporated trust, registered with the Charity Commissioners, Charity number 276179. It is governed by its Deed of Trust dated 17[th] June 1978. The Trust also uses the name Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital for general purposes and for informal external communications.
## **3.2 Governance**
The charity is governed by the Trustees. Trustee meetings are held on a regular basis, typically once a quarter. Also, on a regular basis, meetings are held between Trustees and the management staff to discuss the affairs and management of the charity, together with a review of the quarterly financial reports.
The Charity has a rolling 5-year strategic Charity Plan. On an annual basis, the Trustees and management team prepare and agree a budget, together with the operational and fundraising priorities for the following 12 months.
## **3.3 Recruitment & Training of Trustees**
Trustees shall not at any time be less than 3. Formal procedures for the recruitment and appointment of Trustees are in place. A Trustees’ skills register is in place and is used to highlight any gaps or training needs. Recruitment routes may include the local Voluntary Association, the Charity’s own website and social media, our newsletter, and local press.
Appointments are formally made at a Trustees’ meeting by majority vote. Appointees are provided with a copy of the Trustee Code of Conduct Document and Conflict of Interest Policy; they are required to sign a declaration form pertaining to the documents. The Trustee eligibility declaration and registration with the Charity Commission is undertaken by the Chair of Trustees. As part of the induction process, new Trustees are provided with a secure Cloud account where they have access to financial information, meeting minutes, and other relevant information.
Trustees are encouraged to use self-learning guidance on the websites of the Charity Commission and NCVO. New Trustees spend time at the charity to meet staff and volunteers, and to understand the operational and functional aspects of the charity. During 2020/21 Trustees attended webinars for training and guidance on Coronavirus issues and their impacts on charities.
## **3.4 Day-to-day Operational Management**
The Charity is managed by a General Manager – Mr Robert Knight, who is responsible for the oversight and day-to-day management of all the Charity’s operational functions and employed staff. The operational management team comprises:

A Financial Controls Policy is in place. It details thresholds for spending and those requiring Trustee pre-approval. Any significant spend request for an unbudgeted item needs a supporting business case and majority Trustee approval. Monthly financial spot checks are undertaken by a Trustee and are minuted at quarterly meetings.
Staff remuneration is decided by the General Manager with reference to benchmark salaries obtained by comparisons with local charities of a similar size. The salary of the General Manager is decided by the Trustees and reviewed annually based on the broad nature of the role and any specific performance targets set by the Trustees.
## **3.5 Veterinary Advisor**
Currently we are not able to fund a permanent vet. In January 2007 we established a relationship with consulting vet – Mr Richard Edwards, of AlphaPet Veterinary Clinics. As of November 2020 Mr Edwards retired from AlphaPet, and is kindly providing consultation services on a part-time voluntary basis. AlphaPet continues to accept patients requiring veterinary treatment on a free of charge or cost-only basis.
We received a restricted grant to fund a veterinary nurse. The position was filled with an experienced veterinary nurse providing skills, animal care and training to the hospital staff and volunteers. We will continue to budget for a veterinary nurse with the aim to have this position funded by grants.
## **3.6 Risk Management**
The Trustees and General Manager undertake an annual review of the risks the Charity may face and the appropriate means to mitigate them. A Risk Register is updated and reviewed annually, any actions are assigned to individuals and tracked for progress and completion. Additionally, the Charity has in place:
- An Invasive Species Policy in response to changes in national legislation (Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019).
- Biosecurity & Hygiene Protocols, Guidance and Procedure document to minimize risks of infection, disease and transmission. Both documents are used as a training aid for staff.
Annual compliance, inspections, and insurance associated with the Charity’s work or sites are organised and recorded by the General Manager. An outsourced business service is contracted for regulatory advice and good practice concerning health and safety, personnel and HR, and aspects of facilities management. In our most recent audit concerning compliance, legislation and health & safety, the charity received a pass rating of 100%.
## **3.7 Strategy**
On an annual basis the Trustees and management team meet to discuss and update our 5-year Strategic Charity Plan. This plan enables the Charity to focus on delivering agreed priorities, to better target its fundraising, and to communicate more effectively to our volunteers, supporters and donors.

## **5.0 IMPACTS & OUTCOMES SUMMARY**

## **5.2 WILDLIFE PATIENTS**
In 2020 we treated 3,145 wildlife casualties admitted from members of the public, RSPCA inspectors, wildlife police officers, veterinary clinics, animal emergency services and other local conservation organisations. We continued our efforts to successfully treat and release as many as possible, and when necessary, for other patients we were able to provide appropriate care and relief from suffering quickly and humanely.
Of note this year:
- A noticeable rise in garden bird and summer casualties - likely to be the result of more people spending time at home and in their gardens
- An increase in young fledgling birds injured by cats and dogs - likely to be the result of an increase in pets purchased during the pandemic
- An increase in perfectly healthy baby birds and mammals mistakenly taken from their homes and brought into our care
- A rising trend of well-meaning, but uninformed, people treating wildlife casualties in their own homes, resulting in weak, malnourished patients suffering unnecessary pain and stress. Often brought to our hospital too late, and despite then receiving appropriate care and vet treatment, many of these patients had to be humanely euthanised
- A continuing trend of late born hedgehogs too small to survive hibernation - likely to be the result of climate change
- A trend in the number of young swifts and swallows admitted later in the year - likely to be the result of climate change
- An upward trend in animal welfare enquires via phone, social media and email from the public, veterinary professionals and organisations.
- The UK saw an increase in the number of reported bird flu cases which is likely to impact our future costs on bio-security expenditure
## **5.3 WILDLIFE PATIENT FACILITIES**
This year funding was secured for the following hospital improvements:
- Biosecurity upgrades to outside enclosures
- A new polypropylene internal aviary for recovering garden birds
- 2 x new intensive care incubators for patients recovering from surgery 5 x new intensive care incubators for general care
- Completion of Phase 3 of our Big Build capital project for 5 large mammal enclosures
- Installed a new hygienic hospital-grade vinyl floor to replace the deteriorating original.
- Replaced cracked and ageing worktops
- Improved the leaking wet room sinks and plumbing
- Replaced the last of the deteriorating UPVC windows and doors to improve energy efficiency and biosecurity
- Purchased specialist equipment including an anaesthetic machine, microscope, operating/examination table and ophthalmic kits
- Partial funding was secured for a future specialist x-ray room and equipment
- Commenced construction for a new external pigeon & garden bird enclosure
- • A deposit was placed for a new Animal Ambulance vehicle
## **5.4 VOLUNTEERS**
The Charity relies heavily on the generous support given by volunteers. We depend on a healthy team to care for patients, run the charity and maintain the site and so the restriction of non-essential
BRENT LODGE BIRD & WILDLIFE TRUST – 2020/21 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
10
staff on site was a necessary action. All animal care volunteering and work experience placements were ceased until it was safe to resume.
Staying connected with our volunteers is vital so they can see how they are making a difference. We posted regular updates and patient stories on social media and published 2 newsletters throughout the year. We have plans in place to implement new procedures and improve initial volunteer training for volunteers to feel valued, strengthen the longevity of their support, and to help our staff work more efficiently. We were pleased to maintain and strengthen our relationships with new and existing corporate companies. Many businesses and employees felt inspired to hold fundraising activities or making generous one-off donations in aid of our Charity.
## **5.5 FUNDRAISING**
The ever-changing public health measures associated with Coronavirus continued to have an impact on fundraising. Cancelled or restricted fundraising events resulted in many of our community fundraising income streams being curtailed. The temporary closures of our Charity shops together with the closure of the hospital reception saw a key source of income and cash donations stop for 6 months.
We adapted with creative fundraising activities which included focused appeals, virtual fundraising activities, and online auctions. Funds received through Government grants and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme contributed towards our running costs and covered furloughed staff salaries.
Of the budgeted projects to upgrade facilities and purchase patient welfare equipment, we are pleased to report that the majority of these were funded by Charitable Trusts, appeals and corporate partnerships. Many of the funds for these projects will be carried forward and completed next year.
## **5.6 RETAIL**
Retail continues to be an important source of income. Our Charity shops were mandated to close at times by Government Coronavirus regulations. Paid employees were subsequently furloughed, and when conditions allowed the shop staff and volunteers performed well in demanding conditions to rearrange shops and welcome back customers and donors.
Shop locations, leases, and the income they generate for the hospital running costs are reviewed annually to ensure that the retail strategy provides good value and benefit for the Charity. Additionally, our shops raise our profile in local communities - often the first point of awareness of the Charity’s work, and provide good, local employment to shop managers, productive volunteering opportunities to a range of age groups, tenants to ailing high streets, and environmental benefits through the reuse and recycling of unwanted goods.
To help mitigate the loss of Charity shop income due to Coronavirus, a focus was put on growing income through web shops and online platforms.
This year’s retail income highlights are:
- £246,039 contributed to the Charity’s income
- £12,828 generated in Retail Gift Aid income
- Annual profits from the sale of “new goods” increased from 40% to 46%
- • 26.53 tons recycled of unsaleable goods, generating £3,317.

## **5.7 COMMUNICATIONS**
We continued to improve and renew our communications material as part of our ‘refresh’ programme to achieve the highest impact for raising awareness of the Charity, increase supporter retention and to attract new donors.
We featured wildlife welfare articles and patient stories in local press, magazines, on social media and local newsletters as channels to relay important bio-security updates during the Coronavirus pandemic and during the UK bird flu outbreak.
## **5.8 OUTREACH**
We are grateful for the support and generosity of restricted grants and appeals for our Respect & Protect educational programme. Now in its second year we have recruited and trained an Education Officer to lead the initiative and deliver fun and memorable learning experiences for young people to inspire their curiosity and encourage respect for wildlife.
Through talks and participating in events we are empowering young people and communities to better understand wildlife - the pressures on habitats, and how to support wildlife in their area with the aim of reducing casualties. We use the visits to encourage donations and collect essential Wishlist items for the hospital. Due to the Coronavirus restrictions our outreach work was temporarily put on hold and we were only able to deliver a handful of visits this year. The programme will resume as soon as possible.
## **5.9 PUBLIC BENEFIT**
The charity benefits the public through the following:
- The provision of a wildlife hospital for members of the public to take sick, injured or orphaned wildlife to be cared for with compassion and expertise
- The rehabilitation of wildlife in our care and their responsible release into suitable wild habitats whenever possible.
- Being a respected source of wildlife casualty care and knowledge for the public, RSPCA inspectors, police wildlife officers and veterinary nurses
- Providing a helpline to answer wildlife queries from members of the public
- Communicating with the public to increase awareness and promote respect for wildlife and their natural habitats
## **5.10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS**
We would like to acknowledge and offer our sincere thanks to the following:
- All our supporters and donors to whom we are indebted for their financial support
- Our volunteers – we could not function effectively without them
- The members of the public who donate goods or shop at our charity shops

## **6.0 FINANCIAL SUMMARY**
Financial review for the year ended 30 June 2021.
## **6.1 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS**
The Charity ended the year in a positive financial position with a net surplus despite the impacts of Coronavirus on fundraising and income.
This year we focused on increasing our regular donations, diversifying our income streams, and reducing regular overheads – specifically negotiating with suppliers for reductions in utility costs, which are of rising concern in the future.
Fundraising highlights for the year include:
- A 50% annual increase in recurring donations
- 1,000 people joined our new online auction group and raised a combined total of £10,000 in 2021.
The Charity benefited from the generosity of those who chose to remember us in their Will. We were notified during the year of legacies totalling £531,000, and the Trustees have been able to designate a substantial proportion of these to the most important phase of the Big Build - our new hospital. This means we grow ever closer to providing the wildlife in our care with the up-to-date and purpose-built hospital they deserve.
Expenditure increases beyond our control came via an increase in the statutory minimum wage and NI contributions, increased staff costs, and overtime directly resulting from having no volunteer help during Coronavirus ‘lockdowns’.
The Trustees are not aware of any financial consideration that could affect the continuing ability of the charity to operate.

## **6.2 Operational Efficiency**
Each financial year the management team review all suppliers, contracts, leases, products and services provided to Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital. This is to ensure the charity is receiving the best value for money and the products/services provided are of the highest quality.
The charity reviews its income & expenditure quarterly ensuring it is in line with expected budgeted amounts and reports these to the Trustees.
Our ongoing aim is to ensure increased operational efficiency, through effective general management, cost control and appropriate capital expenditure reducing ongoing costs while increasing overall income.
## **6.3 Financial Reserves Policy**
As per our Finance Policy, the charity is required to hold an estimated six months of operating costs in reserve. The amount to be set is updated annually following sign-off of the budget for the year.
We have decided to maintain our additional extraordinary reserve of £150,000. This prudent action is in response to any possible financial interruptions to the charity's income caused by COVID-19.
The reserves position this year is described below:
- £179,238 set as the reserves target
- £150,000 ring-fenced to provide for adverse impacts of Coronavirus
- £1,868,473 total funds held (as of the date of the Statement of Financial Position)
- £50,335 are restricted funds
- £23,666 are funds designated by the Trustees for small projects including upgrades to hospital fixtures
- £381,900 are funds designated by the Trustees for Phase 4 of the Big Build
- £168,100 are funds designated by the Trustees for Phase 5 of the Big Build
- £355,000 invested in long-term accounts to be released in the closing phases of the Big Build
- £530,871 are tied to tangible fixed assets
- £358,601 the remainder of unrestricted reserves. This sufficient to cover the amount stated in our Finance Policy plus our Coronavirus provision.
## **6.4 Capital Projects**
## **The Big Build Programme:**
The charity is in its fourth year of planned capital projects.
**Phase One** – 11 Bird of Prey Aviaries commenced in 2017 and was completed in 2018.
Total Cost £44,985.
**Phase Two** – Work on 5 new Water Pool Enclosures and 2 General-purpose Enclosures commenced in 2018 and was completed in 2019.
Total Cost £48,225.
**Phase Three** – 5 new Large Mammal Enclosures to house the increasing number of large mammals we are now treating. Completed 2021.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF BRENT LODGE BIRD AND WILDLIFE TRUST**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Brent Lodge Bird and Wildlife Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 30 June 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 2021 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; and
- 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 Auditors' 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 the charity'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.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- 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.
Page 17
## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF BRENT LODGE BIRD AND WILDLIFE TRUST**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
From discussion with management and those charged with governance information about the entity is documented to assess the activity within the organisation. We discuss management's assessment of risk in respect of irregularities, fraud and going concern.
Based on these discussions and our own assessments we determined that the key risk areas were income recognition in respect of cut off issues and management override concerning the size of the organisation.
We set financial statement materiality level based on the level of income. As a not for profit organisation raising income is its primary focus which is why income was used to determine the level of materiality. Our overall assessment of risk was used to determine performance materiality at an appropriate level.
Substantive audit tests were designed after assessing and performing walkthrough tests. The walkthrough testing confirmed documented systems which have been designed to act as a preventative measure against fraud and error which appear to be operating as documented. Substantive testing tested a sample of the population, representative of the population, to identify errors. The testing did not identify any material misstatements in areas tested.
Audit substantive tests concluded no material errors over the key risk areas of income recognition and management override.
The audit considers the organisation is not exposed to material risk of error as a result of assessing laws and regulations that are appropriate to the organisation.
Management assessed there is no going concern risk. The audit undertook a review of budgets, management accounts and the review of board minutes and came to the same conclusion as management.
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.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

**BRENT LODGE BIRD AND WILDLIFE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and 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 Trust 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 e 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 treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Other income is recognised in the period in which is it receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

**BRENT LODGE BIRD AND WILDLIFE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance

## **Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments**
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Financial instruments**
The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable and investments in stocks and shares. The measurement basis used for these instruments is detailed below.
## **Debtors and cash at bank**
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. Cash at bank and in hand included cash held on deposit or in a current account.
## **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.
