Accounting Policies** ## **1a. Basis of Accounting** The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Resources Expended** 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 headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## **1d.

Fund Accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
