Basis ofAccounting
These financial statements are prepared usingthe original cost of items. unless we say
otherwise in the notes. They follow the rules for charity accounting IFRS102 and the Charities
Act 2011 }. The trustees believe the charity can continue operating for the foreseeable future
and has enough reserves to do so. Therefore, the accounts have been prepared on the
assumption that the charity will keep running. Accordingly, the trustees continue to adopt the
going concern basis in the preparation of the accounts.
Income Recognition
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.
Donations are recognised when they are received.
Expenditure and Liabilities
The charity records a liability as soon as there is a legal or agreed obligation to spend money. it
is likelythat the payment will be needed, 8nd the amount can be measured reliably. All
spending is recorded when it is incurred, not just when money is paid. All expenditure is
accounted for on an accruals basis.
Tangible Flxed Assets
As a valuation of fixed assets has not been obtained recently. it is necessaryto seek an
updated valuation. Accordingly, the tangible f ixed asset information currently available does
not represent a true and fair reflection of asset values. As 8n up-to-date valuation of tangible
fixed assets will not be obtained in time for the current f inancial year. the revised asset values
and related depreciation will not be reflected in these financial statement.
Stocks are valued atthe lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowances for
slow movingand obsolete items.
