Notes to the Accounts
Accountlng Pollcles
Policles relatlng to the productlon of the accounts.
slso
acco
tln
The accounts have been prepared on the receipts and payments basis. under the historical cost
convention and in accordance with the charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern
Ireland) 2015 which are applicable to the financial years of registered charities beginning on or
after 01 January 2016 ortheir date of registration with the Charity Commission for Northern
Ireland.
Concern
The charitable activities are entirely dependent on the continuation of grant aid and voluntary
donations, as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is
dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly. the Trustees,
after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods are satisfied that. at the time of
approving the financial statements. it is appropriate in adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the financial statements. Otherthan these matters, the Tiustees are not aware of any
material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
nt
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the
general objectives of the Charity.
Restricted fund5 are subjected io restrictions on their expenditure imposed bythe donor or
through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.
The Trustees considerth8t the charity satisfles the test set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the
Flnance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially
exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received.
If upon dissolution of tho Charitythere remains any assets, after satisfaction of all debts and
liabilities, the assets represented bythe accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other
charitable body or bodies whom have similar objectives to the Charity.
