(v)
Support costs
Support costs are those that asslst the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable
activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs.
They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs
cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to cost of raising funds
and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises
overheads have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Staff costs and
other overhead5 have been allocated based on time spent, per capita and activity.
Employee benefits
When employees have rendered service to the charity, sholt-term employee benefits to which the
employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for
that service.
Value Added Tax
The charity is not registered for VAT purposes, therefore expenditure is shown gross of VAT.

Tangible Fixed Assets
The cost of tangible fixed assets is their purchase cost, together with any incidental costs of acquisition.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual
values, on a straight-line basis overthe expected useful economic lives of the assets concerned. The
principal annual rates used are as follows:
Fixtures and Equipment
15% Reducing balance
In accordance with FRS102, assets under construction are not depreciated until such times as they are
available for use.

corporation tax on income or gains falling due within those exemptions. Recovery is made of tax
deducted from receipts under gift aid.
Going concern

material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level
of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted
income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a
going concern.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The followingjudgements including those involving estimates have been made in the process of
applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements and that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amount5 of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
depreciation method and asset Useful lives
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis considering the current and future
market conditions.
