Objectives and activities
The principal activity of the company continued to be that of the promotion of the benefit of people with disabilities
in the Mid Ulster Council Area.
Public benefit statement
To promote the benefit of people with disabilities and their carers in the Mid Ulster District Council area. The
benefits which flow from this purpose include preventionlrelief of povety, advancement of education and promotion
of social inclusion by providing opportunities for marginalised groups. These benefits are demonstrated through
programmes such as the Youth Included Project and others. The Youth Included project is for young people with
disabilities and their non-disabled peers. The project promotes this through increased leisure and educational
opportunities in a safe and controlled environment. This builds self-esteem and confidence. The project also
encourages the development of individual capabilities. competencies, skills and understanding. The forum uses
their charitable resources to provide specialist equipment and training opportunities to voluntaryl community
groups, parents and non- disabled peers in the Mid Ulster area that may not otherwise always be available.
Through fundraising activities we were able to support various organisations by the provision of a range of
equipment such as iPads, tandem bicycles, video cameras etc. This promotes the service provision for children and
young people with disabilities in the area. These are all for the use of those with disabilities exclusively and helps to
promote the seNice provision for children and young people wilh disabilities in the area. Mid Ulster Disability Forum
in partnership with others were able to access substantial funding to create a fully accessible website which will be
an information tool to provide access infomiation on shops. leisure and commercial buildings in the Mid Ulster area
e.g. accessible with speech software for those with eyesight impairments. This is an ongoing project and will
promote social inclusion. social and community infrastructure and accessible social and community infrastructure
will be a legacy. The forum is comprised of a range of volunteers from community and voluntary organisalions. It is
a consultative body used by the council and other agencies to infomi strategies which impact on the lives of local
disabled people who live in the locality- This advances and promotes equality and eliminates discrimination on the
grounds of disability, thereby insuring the advancement of human rights. We have assessed the potential for harm
and believe that there is none. The charity's beneficiaries are those people with a disability and their carers in the
area. We have assessed the potential private benefits and believe that there is none.

Accounting policies
Company information

registered office is 94 Church Street, Cookstown, Co Tyrone, BT80 8HX.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial stalemenls have been prepared in accordance wtth 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
2015 - Charities SORP (FRS 102). the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Mid Ulster Disability Forum meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities
are initially recognised at historical cost and transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant
accountancy policy note(s). The financial statements are prepared on a going con￿rn basis.
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 Fund aGGounting, incoming reSou￿e$ and resources expended
Unrestricted funds are available for use al the discretion of the committee in fvrtherance of the general
objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the provider of the funds.
All inGoming resourGes are included in the statement of financial activities when the Gharity is entitled to the
income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are
applied to particular categories of income:
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as
the charity eams the right to consideration by its performance.
Investment income is included when receivable.
Any income received by the charity in advan￿ of the due date upon which it becomes receivable is deferred
until that due date.
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which
cannot be fully recovered. and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
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.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements
of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
1.3 Tangible fixed assets

depreciation and any impainnent losses.

MID ULSTER DISABILITY FORUM

Accounting policies
(Continued)
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives on the following bases=
Fixtures and fittings
Computers
20¥0 reducing balance
33 113 /0 Straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is detemiined as the difference between the sale
proceeds and the carying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
1.4 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting period end date. the company revievts the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset,
the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax disGount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the
estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An
impaimient loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued
amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed rf, and only if, the reasons for the impaimient loss have ceased
to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carying amount of the asset (or cash-
generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its re(x)verable amount, but so that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment
loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which
case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.5 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with
banks, other short-tem liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.6 Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments, and Section 12
'Other Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the companvs balance sheet when the company becomes party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in Ihe financial stalements, when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

not amortised.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future
periods.

The association is a registered charity and Ihus is not liable to corporation tax.
