Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 March 2025

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and the income is likely to be received.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The price includes expenses directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Assets with a cost of less than £1,500 are not capitalised as immaterial. The Charity enjoys the use of a considerable amount of equipment provided by various funding agencies, in addition to that acquired from its own resources. Grants received for such equipment are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year of receipt. Depreciation is provided to write off the costs of tangible fixed assets over their useful lives. The provision is calculated as follows: Office equipment, fixtures and fittings 20%-33% straight line and Freehold buildings 2%-4% straight line.
