Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 30 November 2024
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard) and Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS102) in preparing the annual report and accounts of the charity.
Income
Income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and has a reasonable expectation of this being received. Donations receivable are recognised when the charity is legally entitled to receive them and are allocated to the specific activities for which they have been intended. Certain funding is receivable on condition of use and therefore accounted for as Restricted Reserves movements.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are recognised at transaction price.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. Loans and other financial liabilities are recognised at transaction price.
Taxation
The company is a charity and therefore does not pay corporation tax on its charitable net income.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to the statement of financial activities.
2 Governance costs
During the year the trustees received no remuneration or benefits in kind (2023 - nil). Trustees' expenses were nil (2023 - nil).
