NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': |
• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: |
1. Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities |
2. Investment income is included when receivable. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates: |
1. Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income; |
2. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them; |
3. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the costs linked to the strategic management of the charity; |
4. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on a an appropriate basis. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Non-depreciation of freehold property |
The estimated residual value of the company's freehold property is approximately equal to its net book value. It is the company's policy to maintain this property to a high standard, so that the estimated residual value will not be impaired over time. The costs of the maintenance are charged to the profit and loss account as they are incurred. The trustees are of the opinion that any depreciation in respect of the company's freehold property would be immaterial and consequently no provision is made in the accounts for such depreciation. |
Taxation |
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
