NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
1.1 Accounting convention
These 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) (effective 1 January 2019); the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) ; and, the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
1.2 Income
Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity becomes entitled to the resources , it is more likely that not that the Charity will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income from interest, royalties and dividends is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Investment Gains and Losses includes any realised or unrealised gains/losses on the sale of investments and any gain/loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
1.3 Fixed asset investments
Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a longterm interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate.
Entities in which the company has a long term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities.

1.4 Expenditure and liabilities
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to pay our resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Where the Charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the Charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
The Charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
1.5 Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument. Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value (market value as quoted by our investment managers) as at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
