TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021-2022
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document, Objects of the Charity, Principal Activities and Organisation of our work
The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 7 January 1986.
The charity's object and its principal activity continue to be the provision of facilities for watersports and other adventurous activities in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
The Centre operates under the name Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre, which is registered with the Charity Commission.
The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. The day to day management of the Centre is delegated to a Centre Director who is assisted by other permanent and part time staff and volunteers in the delivery of the programme.
Statement of Public Benefit
ln accordance with Section 11 of the Charities Act 2011, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to continue meeting the Centre's Charitable objectives through an operational aim of enabling members of the whole community to enjoy themselves whilst developing skills on, in and beside the water.
The Centre programme is designed and implemented each year to ensure that everyone can gain a sense of achievement, whether they are beginners or those preparing for coaching qualifications. The Centre in setting its budget each year is cognisant of costs and endeavours to keep costs to users as low as possible. Each year youth activities are also provided at low costs or free in the school summer holidays so that those in the most hardship are not prevented from participating.
The Centre in its 45th year has continued to provide high quality services and facilities on developmental pathways to its many users using its ten year development plan. This runs until 2024 and will be reviewed in 2022.
The Trustees have continued to direct the work of the Centre to maximise the opportunities in pursuit of its aims and charitable objectives.
Director/Trustee Appointment, Induction and Training
Directors are recommended each year at the Annual Meeting and confirmed at the Annual General Meeting of the Company. The Officers are appointed at the first Directors meeting following the Annual Meeting. Induction and training is carried out in Directors meetings throughout the year. Directors are also Trustees.

Development, Activities and Achievements this year
The Centre continues under its charitable objectives to provide the widest range of Outdoor Activities within inner London, making them available to the whole community of Tower Hamlets. The Centre’s successful long term development plan that the whole community involved in the Centre contributed to is into its eighth full year in 2021. This has focused development on; programmes, training, young people, quality of activities, clubs, diversity and inclusion and building project work. Towards the end of this reporting period in March 2022 there was a community review of this development plan. This will start a collation of ideas to update this for a new plan.
The biggest challenge this year was managing the gradual return to work of staff from furlough, whilst building up the return of users to the Centre without losing income. For the first two months, April and May some staff were still on part time furlough, although on 1[st] June and after coronavirus rules were eased in April all staff were back full time at work. Confidence of past users increased slowly as we headed towards the Summer and schools and clubs returned as well as the Youth activities, which were once again face to face. Cleaning regimes were kept in place for surfaces and handles.
The Summer project was back to pre-covid engagement with 135 individuals attending with a total of 1972 visits. The Summer residential returned after a break due to Covid-19 in 2020 with a trip to Lake Windermere in the Lake District.
‘Adventure For All’ and ‘Adventure Together’ programmes both continued, entering their fourth year, with Children In Need funding. There was a visit over the Summer to see how our funding was being spent with positive evaluations of the programme. Over the eight years the project has worked with; 745 individuals who made 6,186 visits across 1,365 sessions, which includes 375 individuals with 1,756 visits across 349 sessions since 1[st] January 2019 with Children In Need funding.
The Young Londoners Funded post, the Youth Referrals Coordinator, has been operating for well over a year now. The grant, from Greater London Authority, provides much needed support for ‘At Risk’ young people in our youth provision with activity sessions and mentoring workshops.
The local authority funded ‘Local Community Fund’ financial partnership with Stifford Centre continued with youth provision and girls work ‘Girls Can Adventure’. This funded programme started in September 2019 and will finish in March 2023.
In 2021-22 the youth project engaged 193 individuals, taking part in 70 sessions and 84 days of activities, with a total of 6,239 visits, this is double the number from the pre-pandemic period.
As well as the above programmes work included the Adventure Coach Training Scheme, which trained twelve young leaders to become coaches, who assisted in the Summer Project and the ‘Right To Explore’ programme, which does pioneering work with ethnic minorities to create a pathway to employment. This has just started its second cohort of six young people from our charity and is in
5
E.L.M.V. Shadwell Basin Project Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Directors' Report) Year ended 31 March 2022
partnership with Lindley Educational Trust and Outward Bound. All the Youth provision is still underpinned by values and the unique ‘Pathways’ structure, which are progressive awards with a continuous pathway to the leadership programme and employment.
The structure has led to an increase in skill level and ability as well as agility, decision making and dynamic risk assessment with the benefits of increased health and decreased isolation as well as learning employability skills. This combined with the challenging but safe environment allows training in order to take on greater trials in wild areas. In addition, both the London Youth Games and The Duke of Edinburgh Award have returned this year.
Schools started returning to activities with the Centre from after Easter 2021, which included GCSE programmes, Physical Education lessons and recreational one offs. In 2021-22 there were just under 3,000 students that visited the Centre with over 7,000 attendances, this was back to pre-pandemic levels.
The Centre is in its seventh year of working with 5 to 8 year olds, with the programmes taking place on Wednesday and Thursday.
Following the Covid-19 lockdowns the important need of face to face inspections to maintain quality assurance started again. The annual RYA Inspection and British Canoeing Inspection were both passed with minimal actions required. The important bi-annual inspections of; Learning Outside the Classroom Award and Adventure Mark, as well as the ‘Adventure Activities Licence’ administered by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority, who represent the Health and Safety Executive in the Outdoor and Adventure Industry, were carried out, again with minimal actions needed. The external High Ropes and Climbing wall inspections took place as well as the internal inventory and safety checks on equipment. The Centre also moved away from the local council being used to complete DBS clearance for personnel to an online company. The costs were the same but the service was much faster.
After a return to activities by Summer 2021 for both the Centre and the clubs after extended periods of having no activities there was a focus on staff training, updating coaches and professional development. There were a lot of personnel moving on which contributed to this being an important need. There was a return of the week long staff training, which was in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales that included risk assessments for returning with young people and planning for the year. The annual weekend staff training returned to in March 2022 after two years break due to Covid-19. This was important for updating staff and training the bank of young coaches that had qualified in the previous 18 months. Each of the Clubs also began their individual training programmes to upskill personnel and develop new coaches. All the Clubs swelled in numbers to a point where they were by the Summer having to restrict members due to coaching ratio’s and availability of coaches to lead sessions. The clubs had managed to sustain themselves financially throughout the periods of no activity, which meant that they had all been successful in quick opening and had made accelerated progress to growth.
In addition, with site development there was an outdoor classroom that was completed in the 202122 year with funding from Cory Riverside.

E.L.M.V. Shadwell Basin Project Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Directors' Report) Year ended 31 March 2022
In contrast to this increased activity it was difficult to return quickly to large fundraising events that had successfully raised funds for the Centre. The Great River Race that had been so successful for the Centre still was not running.
Due to aftereffects of the pandemic internationally it was decided that the expedition to climb Kilimanjaro and the community project in Tanzania would aim to go ahead in Autumn 2022. Although this involved the older members of the youth project this was organised outside the charities timetable.
The 2021-22 year had seen a successful return to active operations for the whole community with a challenge created by the demands and expectations of the charity users. The staff and volunteers worked extremely hard to try to live up to these challenges. The dedication and commitment of all those involved should be commended, with a view to looking forward at coping strategies against the consequences of a two year pandemic.
Future Developments
In the 2022-23 year the Centre will balance an opening up to full time operations, managing expectations of its community with an equivalent increase in fundraising to ensure that this can happen. The challenge is greater due to the expectation of the increase in number of users meaning that we will reach our operational capacity across the board. The Charity has a very diverse and representative number of programmes and clubs so priority must be given to sustaining these and growing only where time and money allows.
The renovation of the climbing wall and new pontoons that replaced the old ones on Shadwell Basin because of the pandemic have not yet had their official opening, which needs doing next year.
After a review the youth provision will continue with its booking system first instigated at the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Within this system our partners in referral organisations need to be included to honour our service to our funded programmes that already exist. That is ‘Inspiring Futures’ funded by Young Londoners Fund, ‘Adventure For All’ and ‘Adventure Together’ funded by Children In Need, ‘Right To Explore’ funded by North Face and the Youth Provision funded by ‘Local Community Fund’, (Tower Hamlets Borough Council) as well as the Summer Project 2022.
The adult clubs would also look to workable solutions that will make sure that they can cope with an increased demand whilst maintaining their quality of coaching and experience. This would be down to the Club Officers to implement.
Schools work will be re-established where possible to pre pandemic levels, as this provides an important income stream to meet the charity’s objectives. Following on from increasing activities; policy documents and health and safety operations need updating. Face to face inspections from National Governing Bodies will be re-established after online checks were the norm. This will include British canoeing and the Royal Yachting Association. In addition, external inspections on activity equipment as well as the plant and building facilities will need completing and annual service contracts carried out.

E.L.M.V. Shadwell Basin Project Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Directors' Report) Year ended 31 March 2022
The staffing structure needs to be sustained with the number of permanent staff as well as the need for the growth of the number of casual coaches on our pool of workers. This will be fed by upskilling and mentoring the newly qualified coaches, of which there will be ten in number. There will be a challenge to the ‘Inspiring Futures’, Youth Referral Coordinator post as the Greater London Council funding runs out on 31[st] December 2022. This programme will need reviewing looking forward.
In the 2022-23 year the planned development of the upstairs store into a multi-functional classroom and space will still need to be put on hold to help concentrate on the above progress towards pre pandemic operations.
Finally, our present ten-year development plan runs to 2024, and following a community workshop in March 2022 further ideas and opinions will be collected in 2022-23 year to assist with compiling a new plan relevant to the charity’s needs looking forward.
Financial Review
One of the most significant changes in our financial structures in the 2021-22 year was the appointment after much investigation of the new accountants, ‘Multiply’, who started on 1[st] April 2021. They have now been with us for a complete financial year. Along with this change the charity opted following their advice to move from an audit to an Independent Examination, which is reflected for the first time with these accounts. So far they have proved a good choice and it has brought other positive developments with the adoption of new financial online programmes applied to the monthly financial systems. This has taken some time getting use to.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows incoming resources, including adjustments for debtors and creditors and depreciation, were in surplus over resources expended for the year by £56,808 (previous year, 2021 surplus of £64,191 before investment losses/gains). The surplus is down to some investment gains with the charity’s financial assets, which are reserves that the charity holds as shares. It is also down to meeting some of the financial income targets and savings in expenditure documented later in the report. The investment gains for the year totalled £22,521. Before the investment gains the charity made an operational surplus of £34,287.
To help with the return to normal operations in 2021 the charity was successful in obtaining important post Covid-19 emergency grants totalling £28,143. (see note 5)
At the start of this financial year the staff moved from part time furlough for April and May to all being full time from 1[st] June 2021. This resulted in total claims under the Government Job Retention Scheme amounting to £9,563.
It should be noted that the Centre did not sell any shares from its reserves to cover spend under the lease and licence agreement and short fall in the bank account for this financial year.
It should be noted too that Centre debtors owe £25,303 which was a decrease from the previous of year (2020-21, £63,166) with the creditors there is an increase from the previous year at £35,323 (£24,454 in 2020-21). This is mainly due to deferred income.

E.L.M.V. Shadwell Basin Project Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Directors' Report) Year ended 31 March 2022
Throughout the year the cash in bank situation was kept at a sustainable operational level which ensured that bills were paid on time and that during the Winter months when income is lower financial operations remained in working order.
Our total reserves stand at £576,950, (2021 £520,142, 2020 £388,300, 2019 £502,228, 2018 £523,986, 2017 £557,376, 2016 £501,968 and 2015 £579,163 respectively) in total.
The charities investments as of 31[st] March 2022 stood at £462,219. These are used to carry out our responsibilities as required by our lease agreement.
The charity’s policy of obtaining three-year grants for financial security and to support its long-term work programmes proved beneficial as these continued throughout the 2021-22 year. This not only allowed for financial stability but also pays for vital personnel. The Shadwell community is very grateful to this long-term grant support. In January 2022 a second three-year grant from Children In Need began of £99,617, which funds our work with disabilities. As well as this, the Greater London Authority, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Canary Wharf, East End Community Foundation and Tideway are important long-term funders and maintaining their continued support, alongside smaller grant giving bodies such as Hermitage River Project and Jack Petchey Foundation is so important.
The part time Fundraising and Volunteer Coordinator has been successful in obtaining a number of capital grants in the 2021-22 year. Significantly grants from Tower Hill Trust for Stand Up Paddleboards and Pemberton Barnes Trust for well overdue new Mountain Bikes. There was also a grant for facilities costs from The Julia and Hans Rausing Trust.
Regular donations from Maitlands Fund Charitable Trust and one-off donations also assisted with the Centre operations, as well as foundations and trusts to individuals giving. In 2021-22 year we received one-off donations totalling £26,637 through the charities trust, of which £7,000 was restricted to the International Expedition, Kilimanjaro Youth Challenge 2022.
The Virgin Money Giving website which over so many years has been so important to our fundraising efforts shut down on 30[th] November 2021. The closing balance for the Shadwell Basin Youth Fund was £15,657.50 and the closing balance for Rosalind Yhnell Legacy Fund was £4,411.95. After research the charity agreed to go with ‘Total Giving’, but after registration and time spent chasing to no avail to try and set up everything the charity opted for CAF donate. This will go live in the new financial year starting in April 2022.
As regards expenditure in the 2021-22 year, this was £339,472 up from the previous year by £38,976. This was due to the fact that this was the first full operational year since the pandemic shutdowns, where expenditure was considerably less. The largest outgoing is as usual the staff costs with £224,006 (see note 15) devoted to this, an increase on the previous year of £11,966. This is down to the staffing needed with the increase in users.
It was decided that surplus funds made in this year would be used to pay for the renovation of the changing rooms.

E.L.M.V. Shadwell Basin Project Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Directors' Report) Year ended 31 March 2022
There were savings attributed to the renegotiation of some long-term contracts, particularly the insurance with a change on advice from our broker to ‘Navigators and General’. Another area of savings was attributed to the change to the new accountants with a move by the charity deciding to do an Independent Examination instead of an audit. Savings were also attributed to careful planning of staffing throughout the year.
It is planned for the future that income from grants be maintained and new long-term grants need applying for as others run out. The income from schools has almost returned to pre pandemic levels, but there is a need to look where space allows for this to increase, especially in the Winter months. One particular income area that needs to grow and develop is the unrestricted fundraising that has been successful in the past. This will be a significant challenge as budgets depend on these funds being raised through; donations, individual gifts, corporate challenges and independent individual fundraisers. Another significant financial challenge will result from the ending of the three-year funding from Greater London Authority on 31[st] December 2022 and then the ending of a three-year grant cycle from London Borough of Tower Hamlets on 31[st] March 2023.
The Centre is still looking at applying for more three year or long-term grants to compliment the needs of provision, with the continuation of the present three-year grants, of which there are three, giving a good financial basis for the future work of the charity.
The Centre created a strategic plan to look at business development before the first lockdown began and this needs re-visiting in order to plan financial ahead.
Looking forward with expenditure, it is important for the charity to maintain its staffing costs in relation to the income bought in. It is proposed that an analysis of personnel income generation is measured against the staffing costs which accounts for around 66% of the expenditure each year.
In addition, there needs to be a careful management of facility costs as there is an expectation that they will rise significantly in the 2022-23 year.
The youth expedition and project to go to Tanzania and climb Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro Youth Challenge 2022, was also put on hold for the 2021-22 financial year with income of £19,309, being carried over in 2022-23.
Due to hard work, commitment and diligence the charity has made a quicker than expected recovery post pandemic with the present situation looking stable in the finances. It should be noted though that there will be significant financial challenges to come with the need to get the fundraising and donations income back in line with previous levels. It is hoped that the part time fundraising and volunteer coordinator in combination with individuals in the charity’s community will be the answer to this. In addition to this there are signs that the rise in building running costs is expected in Autumn 2022. This is a concern as Outdoor Activity Centre’s are an expensive places to run and maintain.
A thank you goes out to; grant givers who constantly keep faith in the work we do, individual donors who can be incredibly generous, our staff who dedicate time and effort above and beyond what is required, parents, volunteers and trustees for their support and the community in general who
10
E.L.M.V. Shadwell Basin Project Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Directors' Report) Year ended 31 March 2022
support our work. We look forward to another year of delivering exciting programmes and experiences through the charity’s aims and objectives.
Tangible Fixed Assets for use by the Charity
Details of movements in fixed assets are set out in note 17 in the accounts.
Investment Policy and Returns
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that specialised unit trusts, designed for the charity sector, meets their requirements to generate both income and capital growth. The trustees consider the return on investments to be satisfactory, with a gradual recovery of these throughout the year from the previous year.
Reserves Policy
The market value of the investment of £462,219, (2021 £439,698) and (2020 £372,047) shown in note 18 and the dividends received from the investment is restricted to expenditure on the covenants of the lease and licence to the site.
The present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of the Centre, which depends on the level of funds from grants and donations being maintained.
The unrestricted reserves are maintained at current levels to maintain a positive cash flow and to meet any contingencies requiring immediate expenditure.
Risk Management
The Trustees and Directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the advent of adverse conditions.
The Trustees and Directors take responsibility for risk assessment seriously, particularly in view of the nature of the activities, and annually review health and safety policy, as well as other Centre policies. The Centre has a licence to operate outdoor activities from the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority, the latest one up for re-inspection on 9[th] September 2023.
Volunteers
We should like to thank those who have given their time voluntarily to provide pro-bono advice and support to us during this time. This has enhanced and enriched as well as aided our work. The advice and support is generally project based or related to specific aspects of our work. We would also like
11
E.L.M.V. Shadwell Basin Project Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the Directors' Report) Year ended 31 March 2022
to recognise and thank those volunteers who give over their time to the charity both in an administrative capacity as Trustees or delivery capacity as Coaches.
The efforts of volunteers constitute a valuable element of the charity’s activities.

1 General information
The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102 and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 3-4 Shadwell Pierhead, Glamis Road, London, E1W, 3TD. The trustees of the charity are named on page 1.
2 Statement of compliance
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 (FRS102) issued in October 2019, the Companies Act 2006 and the UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
3 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities. They are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Amounts presented are rounded to the nearest pound.
Going concern
The trustees have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charitable company's forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on income including the effect of Covid-19. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charitable company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. There are no other material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affects the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have not been any significant judgements (apart from those involving estimation) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have had significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. There have not been an key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds
These are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity.
Designated funds
These are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. See note 22 to the accounts for full information.
Restricted funds
These are available for use subject to restrictions imposed by the donor or through terms of an appeal and fall into one of two subclasses: resticted income funds or endowment funds. See note 22 to the accounts for full information.
Income
Income is included in the statement of financial activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to, and virtually certain to receive, the income and the amount of the income can be measured with sufficient reliability. The following specific policies are applied to particular ctegories of income:
-
Income from donations,grants and legacies is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestriced funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as resticted.
-
Income from trading activities includes income received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
-
Investment income is earned thorough holding assets for investment purpose, it includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably.

3 Accounting policies (continued)
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under the headings of the SoFA to which it relates.
-
Expenditure on raising funds the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities and the sale of donated goods.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets (excluding investments) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions or those costing below £2,000 are not capitalised.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Fixtures and Fittings 25% straight line Equipment Old equipment at 20% and new at 25% straight line
Investments
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of

Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All 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 asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement offinancial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4 Limited by guarantee
ELMV Shadwell Basin Project is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.
Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
