REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Helix Arts charitable objects are: to educate the general public in the arts especially by enabling members of the public to work alongside artists producing works of high artistic class, and by the fostering and promotion of the participation in the arts and an awareness, knowledge and understanding and appreciation of the arts among particularly, but not exclusively, people across the North East of England.

In line with our charitable objectives and within the limits of our funding, we are currently working within the North East of England including Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, County Durham and Tees Valley. Occasionally our work is scaled to other areas in England.

Helix Arts are at the forefront of participatory arts and a leader of this in the region, with priorities around Creative Health prevention and intervention work and artist development through our long-term flagship programmers Better Connect and Artists' Agency.

We develop and deliver a wide range of cross artform activities through, short, medium and long term projects under the umbrella of our strategic priorities, community development, artist development and supporting individuals and communities to engage with creativity to improve health and wellbeing.

Helix Arts is a truly committed team of creatives, producers and specialists providing communities and artists with the power and agency to change what matters to them. We were able to do this during the year through amazing partnerships and collaborations.

Our annual projects include activities across health, youth, education, community, criminal and social justice settings - often issue-based interventions through research and development, primarily action research, frequently resulting in public facing productions, events, exhibitions and installations.

We are a unique arts organisation who are part of a thriving voluntary and community sector. We are an organisation built on the ethos of collaboration, working in partnership to achieve our impact. We are proud to have a wide range of partners, supporters, funders and stakeholders who enable our work.

Our executive staff are key influencers for change with their roles as part of national, regional and local cultural strategy, VCSE representation on statutory boards (health and wellbeing), driving the development of Creative Health strategies, and leaders supporting cultural education for young people.

We lead on mitigating barriers to economic and social inclusion by supporting our most marginalised residents. Each year we co-create a wide variety of arts offers with local communities. Participant numbers in each session will range from 3 to 85 depending upon the nature of the group. The majority of activity is the provision of opportunities to participate in high quality arts activity for those who are vulnerable and excluded and therefore have the least access to the arts.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

Our beneficiaries typically face multiple health inequalities. Our activity is accessible for participants regardless of any protected characteristics. We prioritise our work around the 7 domains of deprivation. Prioritising income deprivation, health, crime and education; we focus some projects on older people, young people and their families. We aim to take a proportionate universal approach (balancing targeted and universal population) to ensure an inclusive approach.

Vision: Participation in creative activity is fundamental to the wellbeing of individuals and we believe creative communities change and creative opportunities should be accessible to all.

Mission: To provide equality of opportunity for under-served people to take part in arts and culture.

Values: Our core values are: > Collaboration > Creativity > Care

Helix Arts values the importance of everyday culture and creativity. Creative expression makes us human, and people can experience and produce amazing art that can help address the many issues facing us.

People are at the heart of our work where connections and relationships matter for positive change to happen. Co-creating is central to the way we work and the journey people take with us. We reach out to people to nurture their journey by placing choice and decision making of utmost importance and at the heart of what we do.

This is both for our beneficiaries and the people we employ (including artists). They are the foundation of how we act individually and collectively and are central to how we drive our work towards our mission with our artists and sector experts.

We want people to live healthy lives by co-producing arts that is meaningful to them; projects that are bespoke and help people explore their own stories.

Our high level aims are to:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

We achieve these by being a beacon for practice which raises the cultural voice of the most disadvantaged. By continuing to push for quality in this work, we will play an important role in the communities we serve, and act as a champion for creative diversity in the arts.

The focus of our activities is on enabling participants to use creative ways to explore their experiences and to: develop new skills and interests; improve health and wellbeing; reduce isolation; build social capital; increase confidence and self-esteem; improve communication and social skills; assist reintegration into the community through progression into education, training, employment or stable accommodation; encourage and develop peer learning and family support; and to reduce offending and drug or alcohol addiction.

We constantly learn as an organisation and use a dedicated quality framework which we are recognised for to enable this. We embrace learning as individuals and as an organisation, which we then take action on to respond and adapt.

Our leadership and connectedness has ensured the organisation has increased its impact and influenced local and regional policy agendas, including drugs and alcohol strategy, regional HIV policy, health equality policy, creative health and cultural strategy as well as regeneration planning.

We build trust and deliver ambitious and high quality participatory and socially engaged work that often takes risks and explores the unknown and unusual.

We have challenged ourselves in 24/25 to increase our intentions around disability and inclusion. This has resulted in significant learning and impact for ourselves, artists and communities; not least around queer and disabled-led work.

Fundraising disclosures

The charity is required to report how it deals with fundraising from the public. The charity does not use a professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies raised directly from the public follows all guidelines set out by the Charity Commission and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all public donors.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

In 2024/25 our organisation improved on almost every key performance indicator we established in our business plan and Arts Council England core objectives and investment principles. Through our real-time data collection and analysis using our bespoke data dashboard, we have:

We want to continue to improve these outcomes in future years as well as seeking to continually improve our aesthetic values across every area of our work.

HIGHLIGHTS

A pivotal development in 24/25 included relocating the charity to the heart of North Shields Cultural Quarter, offering us sustainability and new opportunities, deepening our roots, while continuing to reach our work across the region.

We demonstrably strengthened our offer to artists and built on the first year of Better Connect resulting in significant impact and demand to tackle health inequity in the borough which resulted in further support from the Integrated Care Board and Public Health Commissioners.

We worked with 120 diverse artists, 58 of them new to us. We have collaborated with 4,865 participants across complex settings leading to 119 creative outputs being experienced by an audience of 1,903,349 people.

Developing new audiences in different ways is critical to our ambitions. During 24/25, we created and implemented an audience development strategy to further increase our reach, effectiveness and sustainability. This also resulted in investment in new systems and improvement of systems. The six key aims are:

We focused on exhibiting art in public spaces including city/ town centres, as well as via our new building - using its window area to display community artworks and opening the main space for exhibitions, events, conferences and performances. The public exhibition programme is the main driver for the exponential growth and increased diversity of our audience, with our Artists' Agency Newcastle programme drawing the biggest audience due to its city centre location.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

We have built on our strategic and delivery partnerships. Our charity and our Director are recognised leaders in Creative Health. Our Creative Health programme represented just over 65% of our projects delivered this year and accounted for just under 50% of all participants. Participants regularly reported improvements to their health and wellbeing and these have been supported by ONS 4 quantitative data. We will continue to build our evidence base for our Creative Health work in forthcoming years.

Our focus is always people, because creative communities can change the way they see themselves. Participants who would not otherwise have been able to experience the joy and empowerment of participation in arts and culture. We have continued our expert brokerage across partnerships and networks with an extraordinary range of superb creative practitioners with whom Helix Arts work, develop and support.

Our data dashboard continues to improve, through its detailed, project-specific information enables our executive and board to be able to make data-driven strategic decisions to ensure we continue to grow as a charity and meet the needs of our participants, audiences, and stakeholders.

Our expert trustees continued to provide strategic direction and added strength to our organisation. This year, their work on our Safeguarding, EDI, and Green Sub-Committees has enabled, via robust action plans:

We have made a significant impact with our archive work (National Lottery Heritage Fund grant) which has ensured our legacy material is preserved. A core team of long-serving and new archive volunteers helped drive the project forward. Volunteers were able to progress to higher education and employment as a direct result of their work on the archive.

The grant enabled us to create and deliver an archive of our past work and enable new programming that looks to our past to build new futures. Our 'Re:Visits' umbrella brand for our long term 40th activities and ambitions came to fruition this year, this led to significant commission for disabled artists and communities; including protest-based work around World Aids Day, Narrative Shift and Queer Pleasure Archive.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Better Connect Creative Health offers were more ambitious and demand increased significantly. We established more community partnerships to host the regular service across North Tyneside. We delivered 221 sessions working with 531 individual participants. We observed that participants attended more sessions and wanted longer programmes and ongoing activities. Future programming will focus on achieving this whilst still enabling new participants to benefit from our Creative Health work.

Strategic partnerships have been vital to our impact. We presented Better Connect to the local Mental Health Alliance and became a key stakeholder to VODA and the partnership. We also gained support through the Integrated Care Board via VONNE to capacity build within the VCSE sector in relation to social prescribing and healthy partnerships. This is in collaboration with VODA (a local infrastructure organisation).

Falling On Your Feet our long-running falls prevention dance offer for over-55s became fully embedded in Better Connect. We have continued to provide opportunities for older residents to co-choreograph pieces of work which reflect topics which matter to them. Across the year our older participant dancers focused on building their own cardiovascular, physical and mental health through dance with the aim of also increasing vital social connections and preventing falls. Participants also formed an insights group to inform and design future programmes to shape new opportunities for older people.

Our evaluation showed the effectiveness of various models of delivery: a mixture of digital and in-person delivery. Older dancers continued to showcase their work. This challenged stereotypes around older people, ambition and quality.

Our Place in this Place was made possible from Youth Music Stability funds. Working in partnership with Cramlington Learning Village, Ability2Play and Cramlington Town Council, this project focuses on organisational development and the production of new music led by the young people. As part of the co-design phase, young people took part in research and development workshops to inform future delivery.

UK Shared Prosperity Fund North Tyneside :

Youth took place in Longbenton, co-designing activity with young people from the area, this project saw participants explore a range of artforms of their choosing to improve their confidence, wellbeing and levels of creative expression.

Community resulted in two community action projects with residents of Weetslade. Both projects were led by local residents - each taking inspiration from the local area in the production of their art. This was shown in particular through the development of a one-off local art trail situated in Weetslade Country Park.

Young residents also got involved in this project with one of the community action projects taking place in North Gosforth Academy. A series of workshops exploring personal and community identity ran between February and March, with artwork being showcased in the school.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Social Action consisted of four social action micro projects with local residents and a significant number of volunteers. This was achieved through local partners; including Meadowell Connected, Phoenix Detached Youth Project, Westmoor Community Centre, and Whitley Bay Big Local. Taking a co-produced approach, residents engaged in training and development to build their capacity. Community volunteers and artists undertook deep listening and consultation before multi-artform workshops took place for the wider community. This allowed for each project to be approached creatively and to be driven by the needs of the residents involved.

The programme included Home Thoughts - a creative writing and making/ textiles project exploring the universal right to a home and the universal need to feel at home. Playful Pavements saw residents reclaiming the streets in the face of community safety concerns for play, joy and celebrating the things people love about their area. Stitcherz by the Banner Belles - a textiles project celebrating their local heritage of Mining, George Stephenson and local landmarks. A large textiles banner was then presented at a celebration event. Make it Happen involved training for artists which resulted in 'Portraits of Hope' with refugees through a participatory arts event with HostNation.

Re:Visits Disabled Artist Residency was a part of our long term programme which celebrates and commemorates our 40th anniversary. Reflecting on 'Living Proof' (an earlier project from our archive), our artist in residence ran a series of research and development workshops exploring current perceptions of HIV/ AIDS with a range of participants. Strategically, we presented at the regional HIV conference to share lived experiences and inform the development of the strategy. The residency resulted in an ambitious event highlighting and celebrating World Aids Day, which included a window exhibition and dance performances.

Narrative Shift a disabled-artist led commission produced by artist Amy Langdown. explored the changing narratives around queerness and disability through creative writing and spoken word. Participants created individual poems and recordings - collaborative group poems which enabled them to take control of narratives around queerness and disability. Diverse participants who are often not listened to will be heard through their creative outputs at a performance event at Alphabetti Theatre in Newcastle, which will also result in a digital archive.

See Me North a pan-regional research creative health project led by Northumbria University mobilised with the aims to develop and evidence an integrated creative care model for people with experience of homelessness. The project funded by the UKRI Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), is co-created, trauma-informed and takes a broad and holistic view of health in which Helix Arts is an arts partner exploring and acting upon shifting the imbalance around homelessness, especially women.

Our Story is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Looking back upon the last 40 years of projects, as both Helix Arts and Artists' Agency. Our Story explores the preservation of the organisation's history through the archive and exhibitions in the region. Supported by a team of volunteers, 2024/25 saw the mass cataloguing of decades of projects and the start of a celebration of our history through the eyes of individuals, communities, and artists across the North East.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

#Never - a drugs insights programme commissioned by North Tyneside Council Public Health implemented earlier report recommendations. The outcomes created during our 2023/24 immersive experience led to new audiences, which was attended by over 100 young people and a further 50 professionals and degree students gathering further insights about young people's drug use and the creation of 5 educational films. The films allowed users to view the immersive experience online and interact with multiple resources to educate young people on drug use.

As a result of the insights, new commissions were secured to continue partnerships. These include Moorbridge Alternative Education Provision to explore key issues raised in the Council's drug strategy from the lens of a young person. Listening sessions exploring drugs education with North Tyneside Council Early Help team took place to support this in early 2025 with workshop delivery expected in 25/26.

Safe - a community safety project with young people around the Meadow Well led to an action learning programme for young residents to creatively explore the concept and themes around what safety means to them. These early stages will progress next year.

Artists' Agency is our leading artists development programme across the North East, with localised offers with local authority partners and funders. Following a pilot in North Tyneside and a large programme including commissions in Newcastle, this work grew in 24/25.

This programme offers a variety of opportunities for artists, mentoring, peer network, CPD events, training, development and signposting.

Our long-term provision in North Tyneside enabled over 131 creatives and organisations who live and work in North Tyneside to access bespoke opportunities. Artists who have taken part have had access to creative bursaries, training, as well as regular, structured networking events.

Our Newcastle strand culminated in 6 diverse led artist public artwork projects presenting work across the Creative Central corridor. In 24/25, their work was celebrated via different curated installations to different diverse audiences: local, national and international.

In Darlington (commissioned by Creative Darlington) 1:1 mentoring and bespoke support took place.3 legacy artists and 3 new artists explored careers and participatory arts ambitions which resulted in community projects with Darlington communities. Lizzie Lovejoy successfully ran Circus Island, a community-based initiative focused on wellbeing and creative expression leading to a performance and events showcasing participants' original work at the Hippodrome, Darlington.

Here to There continued opportunities of creative walks and workshops for participants over the age of 55. This two-year programme is informed by older people across North Tyneside, Sunderland and South Tyneside. Activities have supported social connection, prompted improvement to mental and physical health and nurtured people's inner creativity. This work has involved development with new partners to prioritise those who are most excluded from other offers.

North Tyneside Cultural Education Partnership (NTCEP)

Helix Arts host the North Tyneside Cultural Education Partnership (NTCEP) to create better and fairer opportunities for young people in North Tyneside to experience culture. This is driven by a 3-year action plan and key projects encouraging youth voice, participation and progression. Governed by a steering committee made up of schools and local arts/culture organisations, the NTCEP works in partnership to deliver the action plan and programmes.

NTCEP - Cultural Ambassadors was a school workshop programme across North Tyneside. Each school accessed high-quality artists and workshops allowing students to gain access to creative pipelines. A total of 19 schools, 13 artists and 599 young people were involved with the programme.

Youthforia Podcast was a youth advocacy project in partnership with Screenboo Productions. Running over 6 months, young people developed skills in presenting, basic production, content design and evaluation. Producing 10 podcasts, young people explored topics which matter to them including social media, GCSE's, culture and the local area. Podcasts were shared on multiple platforms and received an audience of over 2000 online listens/ views.

North Shields Public Artworks Co-created public artworks at a 'Gateway site' as part of the North Shields regeneration master plan led to international artist Aaron Li-Hill developing concepts and designs for a sculpture, along with over 1,000 ideas from local people in 23/24.. This then supported the development of sculpture technical drawings and base fabrication completion.

North East Youth Alliance Helix Arts provides our knowledge and experience as part of an alliance of local organisations with the view to improving work around youth arts. This has involved training and regular consultation events with the aim of improving the lives and services for young people in the North East.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Policy on reserves

At the end of 2024/25 the total unrestricted reserves stood at £317,218 (2024 - £318,416) and the restricted at £nil (2024 - £nil). It is anticipated that the restricted reserves will be spent during 25/26 as we continue to deliver several on-going projects.

The Trustees of the charitable company, in accordance with consideration of the Charity Commission's guidance have concluded that to provide reliable service over the longer term, to be able to absorb setbacks and to take advantage of change and opportunity, a general reserve is justified. They consider that it is in the charity's best interests to hold such a reserve.

After due consideration of possible risks and demands, the charity aims to achieve reserves equivalent to at least three months' running costs £110,000 and no more than six months' running costs £220,000. The current reserve level falls within this range, being the equivalent of nine months' running costs. The reserves policy and the level of reserves will be kept under review.

Investment policy and objectives

Under the memorandum and articles of association the charitable company has the power to make any investment the Trustees see fit.

Going concern

The Trustees are satisfied that the organisation is able to operate for the foreseeable future on the basis of known and reasonable projected levels of income and therefore the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

We are continuing to increase our ambition around the quality of our work and the numbers of people we reach. To achieve this, we aim to grow our income by:

We will continue to provide activity that enables our participants to build confidence, reduce isolation, increase motivation, and learn new skills, with these opportunities leading to improved health and wellbeing and the opening of fresh opportunities for employment.

The Trustees are committed to ensuring that the charity continues to grow and thrive, particularly through exploring a more entrepreneurial approach and testing new methods of income generation to support core activity.

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Helix Arts Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The financial statements have been prepared in Sterling, rounded to the nearest Pound (£) which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Estimation uncertainty and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.

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.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amounts and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Income

Deferred income

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:

Donated services and facilities

Where services or facilities are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers, this benefit is included in the financial statements at it's fair value unless it's fair value cannot be reliably measured, then at the cost to the donor or the resale value of goods that are to be sold.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and Trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £200 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Sports equipment 33% straight line Office equipment 15% reducing balance Computer equipment 33% reducing balance

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, call deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result I the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised a their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

All financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the Trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Fund accounting

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

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
