The following spe¢ific poli¢ies are applied lo particular categories ol in¢ome'. income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of enlitlemenl to the gift, receipt is probable and ils amount can be measured reliably. legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and enlillemenl is established. income from donated goods is measured al the lair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost lo the donor or the eslimaled resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received il the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included lor the contribution ol general volunteers. income from contracts for the supply ol services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement lor it lo be spent on a particular purpose and returned il unspent, in which case il may be regarded as reslricled.

All costs are allocated lo expenditure categories reflecting the use ol the resource. Direct costs allributable lo a single activity are allocated directly lo that activity.

Carrickfergus & District MENCAP Society Noles lo the Financial Slatemenls {¢onlynued) Year ended 31 December 2025 Accounting policies (continued) Impairment of fixed assets A review lor indicators of impairment is carried out al each reporting dale. with the re¢overable amount being eslimaled wherè such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the re¢overable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed lor tx)ssible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when il is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount ol an individual asset, an estimate is made ol the recoverable amount ol the cash- generating untt lo which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unil is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment lesling ol goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition dale, allocated lo each ol the cash-generaling units that are expected to benefit from the synergies ol the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions ol the inslrumenl. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected lo be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured al amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured al fair value with changes in lair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial inslrumenls, including derivatives, are initially recognised al lair value, unless payment lor an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rale ol interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured al the present value ol the future payments discounted at a market rale ol interest lor a similar debt inslrumenl. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at lair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial aclivilies, with the exception ol hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidenee ol impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless ol significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually lor impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis ol similar credit risk characteristics.
