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 rec8lPt is probable and entitlement is eslablished. income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical lo measure reliably, in which case Ihe value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if 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 tha contracted service. This is olassified as unrestricled funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in share5 are publicly Irad8d or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently 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 terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present valuè of the future 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 slatemenl 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.
