In addition the funds may be held in order to finance capital investment and working capital. (c) Designaled funds are uninvested funds sel aside at Ihe discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. 1.4 Income and expenditure Income 15 recognised when the charity is legally entilled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and il is probable that income will be received. All income arose wholly in the United Kingdom. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related lo Ihe category. The majority of costs are directly attribulable to charitable activities. Where costs cannot be direclly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to charitable activitie5 on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Staff costs and overhead expense5 are allocated to aGtivilie5 on the basis of staff time spent on those activities. 1.5 Support costs Support cosls are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represenl charitable aclivities.
