Donated fa(Ilities and seNices are recognÈsed in the accounts when received if the value can be reliabty ￿asUred. No aThunts are induded for the contribution of general volunteers. income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted seNice. This is classified as unrestiicted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it be regarded as restricted.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value (xn othernise be measured reliably. the investment is sut6equently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and eXpe￿Ilture. All other such investments are sut6equenty measured at cost less impaimient. Other financial instruments, including derivatives. are inttially recognised at fair value. unless paynEnt for an asset is deferred beyond nomial business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discount&ts at a market rate of interest for a sIrr￿lar debt instrument. other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the state￿Ent of financial activities, with the exception of 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 eviden￿ of impaimient. an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of finanaal activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all 4uity instruments regardless of significance. and other financial assets that are individually significant. these are assessed indmdually for impaimient. other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of sitrilar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
