The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. Overall risk to operations > In common with many other Charities, the outbreak of COVID-19 in the UK and the measures being taken to control its spread, have had an impact on our activities. The impact is not considered to have been significant and the Charity has still managed to remain in surplus. Following the year end, there have been no substantial developments that would affect the Charity's ability to remain in surplus. The Charity has therefor determined that there are no post balance sheet events and accordingly, the financial position as at, and results of the operations for, the year ended 31 December 2022 have not been adjusted to reflect their impact. ## 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, ## 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. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. ## Charitable activities Grant and Donations: > The Trustees apply the funds of the School House Trust at their discretion and in accordance with the charitable purposes and objects of the Charity. > The number and value of grants is necessarily limited to the amount of funds that are available for distribution each year, The trustees have determined that the current priorities for funding grants are: ~ Facilitating extra-curricular activities for children aged 5-11 in areas of arts, sport and culture. > - Encouraging pre-school children to attain basic skills in literacy and speaking and listening. > - Enabling children to achieve their full potential in literacy. > The trustees will only consider applications for grants from organisations, not individuals, within the Parish of Lambourn.

The trustees will allocate a portion of the fund each year for small donations of up to £500. ## Investments Investment property is shown at most recent valuation.
