Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has
passed to the charity: it is probable that the economic benefits associated wtth 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 entitlement to the
gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is
impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor
or the estlmated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the
accounts when received rf the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included 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 unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual
requirement for it to be spent on a particular purp05e and retumed rf unspent. in which case
it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expendtture includes any
VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and 15 classffied under headings of the statement of
financial activities to which it relates-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities. events.
non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

adivities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of ils beneficiaries, including those
support costs and costs relating to the governan￿ of the charity apportioned to charitable
activities.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the
charity nor part of r(s expendrture on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting Ihe use of the resource. Direct costs
attributable to a single activty are allocated diredly to that activty. Shared costs are apportioned
be￿een the activities they contribute to on a reasonable. justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets (¢ontAnued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impaimient that has previously been
recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying
amount of an asset as a resur( of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised 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 statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset. less its residual
value, over the useful economic lrfe of that asset as follows..
Equipmont
20% straight lina
Investments
Unlisted equty investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair
value. If fair value cannot be reliabty measured. assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in
income or expenditure.
Investments in associates
Investrnents in associates accounted for in accordance wtth the cost model are recorded at cost
less any accumulated impaimient losses.
Investments in associates accounted for in accordan￿ wtth the fair value model are initially
recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair
value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable
to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort. the cost model will be adopted.
Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without
regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or
after the date of acquisition.
Investments in joint ventures
Investments in jointly controlled entitles accounted for in accordance with the cost model are
recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Investments in Joint ventures (conthjued)
Dividends and other distributions received from the investrnent are recognised as income without
regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profrts of the joint venture arising before
or after the date of acquisition.
Impairnient of fixed assets
A review for indicators of Impalm￿nt Is carried oui at each reporting date, wrth the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. IAlhere the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairnent testing. when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
Iiiiouiil of an iiidividual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit 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 asset5.
For impaimient testing of goodwill. the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allooated to each of the cash-generating units that are expectgd to benafrt from
the synergie5 of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity
are assigned to those unrts.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
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 to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Vvhere investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can othe￿iSe be measured
reliably. the investment is subsequentty measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in incorne and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at
cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless
payment for an asset is deferred beyond nomial business temis 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 fulure
payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. with any changes
recognised in the statement of financial activities. with the exception of hedging instruments in a
designated hedging relationship.

Financial instruments (conlinued)
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 evidence of 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 equty instruments regardless of significance. and other financial assets that are
individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are
either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar 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.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which
the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent
that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settied wholly within 12 mnths of the end of the
reporting date in vthich the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
the period in which it arises.
