4 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis The trustees are of the view that the measures taken during the year and subsequent to the year-end have secured the immediate future of the charity and that on this basis the assessment of the trustees is that the charity is a going concern.
c) 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.
General funds may be transferred to designated funds where Trustees wish to use these funds fora specific purpose. Such funds may be transferred back to general funds once the criteria for the designation have been met or are no longer applicable.
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 cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of restricted funds is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds may only be transferred to general or designated funds once the criteria for restriction have been discharged or no longer apply.
d) Income Recognition Policies Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:
-
The charity has entitlement to the funds;
-
- any performance conditions attached to the item of income has been met or are fully within the control of the charity.
-
- there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and * the amount can be measured reliably
e) Donated services and facilities In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of supporters is not recognised.

$$
4 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
f) Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs taken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs . Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading
g) Tangible Fixed Assets Individual fixed assets are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Asset Category: Annual Rate Equipment 25% Straight line Buildings 2% Straight line
No depreciation is charged in year of acquisition or year of disposal.
h) Creditors and Provisions Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
i) Taxation The company is a registered charity and the charitable tax exemptions are therefore being claimed to the extent that income and/or gains are applicable and applied to charitable purposes only. These exemptions will remain in place as long as income and expenditure is applied to charitable purposes only.
