## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
## Charitable activities
## a. Main achievements of the Charity
As a Fellowship we seek to initiate regular opportunities to foster support and encouragement through prayer and fellowship for healthcare staff within their workplace. Contact is maintained through personal visits, and also via emails, phone calls, video calls, training and literature.
Fellowship meetings are held in various hospitals in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as the Fellowship takes an all-Ireland approach. Staff who transfer to other facilities are linked up with existing contacts in their new place of work.
The Trustees as well as the members of the National Action Team meet regularly for prayer and fellowship via visits and video calls. They also maintain links with their counterparts in the UK, Europe and worldwide.
The National Action Team, with the assistance and leadership of the National Coordinator, work together, not only to support the network of fellowship groups, but also to provide suitable training for healthcare staff, such as Saline (TM) training.
A greatly encouraging development more recently, has been the uptake by more local churches and hospital chaplains in hosting and participating in such training. This also enables them in turn to connect with healthcare workers based in their own areas.
Overall, the statement of financial activities for the year ended 31 May 2025 reflects a net increase in resources of £46,108 leading to a total funds carried forward of £115,735.

## HEALTHCARE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP OF IRELAND NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 MAY 2025 Neeneeeee 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
## Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured.
## Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
## All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
## Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
