Statement ol Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financol Reporhng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102)" (effective l January 20191. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has tsken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements have departed from the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement ol Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. The linancial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statement5 have been prepared under the historical c05t convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properkne5 and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accountin8 policies adopted are set out below. 1.2 Going concern At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used.
