Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
Going concern |
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate in that whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the trust has adequate support to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the trust's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
