Council, Department for Communities. Dungiven Parish, Dunmore Community 8enefil Fund,
Evishgaran and Craiggore Communty Benefit Fund, Halifax F¢JJfMlation for Northem Ireland, Anla's
Motorcyclist and Screwfix. With this financial support we u￿raded our furniture shop, delivered
programmes. and undertook activitie5 designed to reduce social isolation and promote inclusion for
the Deaf Community. A key part of the service offered by Hands That Talk is sUPPQrting our members.
By offering this support. we identified a need for classes lo be facilitat￿ in sign lan9ua9e. where
possible.
Social Activities
A key actNty of Hands That Talk is supporting, developing, and delivering social activtties that allow
not only Ihe Deaf community to come together, but also promote integration be￿een the Deaf. hard of

We worked hard to attract members back into the centre and our social club meet regularty on Friday
nights. This year some of the group activities included - bowls, crafts. sewng c]ub. information
sessions and an upholstery class. We will keep adapting to the changing needs of our members as we
continue to grow.

passed to Ihe charity: it is probable that the economi¢ benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies
are applied to particular categories of income:
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entruement to the
gift, ￿CeIpt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when re￿Ipt is probable and entitlement is established.
incorne from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is
impractical to Measu￿ reliably, in which case the value is derived from the ￿$t lo the donor
or the esb-mated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the
accounts when received if the value Can be reliably measured. NO amounts are included for
the contribution of general volunteers.
incom8 from contracts for the supply of seNices is recognised with the delivéry of the
contracted servi￿. This is classified a$ un￿Stn'c1ed funds unless there is a contractual
requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and retumed ff unspenL in whrh case
it may be regarded as rpslricted.
Resourcos expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruaL% basis as a liability is incurred. Expendrture includes any
VAT which cannot be fully Tecovered, and is dassified under headings of the statem8nt of
financial activities to which il reL4tes:

An increas8 in the carying amount of an asset as a res￿￿ of a revaluation. 1$ recognised in ¢)ther

recognised as expendrture within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying
amount of an asset as a result of revaluation. is recognised in other ￿ognISed gains and losses,
except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within
other recognised gains and losses on the ststement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuabon of an asset, less its residual
value, over the useful economic life of that assel as follows:
Freehold propety
Fixtures and fittings
Office equipment
4 /• straight line
33 /0 reducing balance
330/0 reducing balance
Impalmient of fixed assets
A review for indicators of irnp8irment is carried out at each reporting d*e. with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicatOFS e￿St. Where the carying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior irnpairments 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 bek)ngs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest
idenlrfkgble group of assets that includes the assei and generates cash inflows that largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwll acquired in a business combination is. from the
acquisition date. allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination. irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity
are assigned to those unrts.

Financial instruments (eQlltinueé)
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other
consideration expected to be paid or received and not rjiscounled.
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 investrnents arè subsequentty measured at
cost less impairment.
Other finan¢ial inslrumenls, including deftvatives. are initially rewgnised al fair value. unless
payment for an asset is defeffed beyond normal business tsrms or financed at a rate of interest
that is not a mart(et rate, in which case the asset is measU￿d al the present value of the fvture
payments discounted * a market rate of interest for a similar debt instnjment.
Other financtal instruments are subsequentty measured at fair value. with any changgs
recognised in the statement of financEal activities. with the exception of hedging instruments in 8
designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that a￿ measured at cost or amortised cast are reviewed ft)r objective evidence
of impaimient at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective eviden￿ of irnpaimienl. an
impaimieTrt loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the ststement of financial
activities in which the inittal gain was récognised.
all equity instruments regardless of S￿nIficance. and other financial assets that are
individually significant, these are assessed individualty for irnpairment. Other financial assets are
eilher assessed individually or grouped on the basis ot similar credit risk ¢haraGteristi¢s.
Any reversals of impaiment are recognised immediately, to the extent thai the reversal does not
resutt in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds whal the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not previously been recognised_
Oefined contribution plans
contribut￿n$ to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in vthich
the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent
that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in hjture 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 measLrred on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised a$ an expense in
the period in which it arises.
