Financial Review
Financial Position
The deficit for the year amounted to £36,500 (2024: £34,212 deficit). The reserves position stood at £398,204 (2024: £434,704) of which £53,157 (2024: £87,243) was unrestricted. 
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity to hold reserves in its unrestricted funds in order to establish an appropriate level of working capital and to protect the future operations of the charity from the effects of any unforeseen and material variations in its income streams, as part of a policy of good financial management practice. 
As a result of a reduction in operation from reducing numbers of volunteers the unrestricted funds have reduced to £53,137.  Several small grants were received this year and there is a conscious effort to continue fundraising.  Once income has stabilised it is the intention of the board to begin building the reserves and maintenance pots.
The Trustees have targeted a cash reserves minimum of £70,000 which currently equates approximately to 12 months' operating expenditure. At the year-end cash reserves covering all funds amounted to £25,090 including amounts held on short term deposit (2024: £53,124) and this is now short of the reserves policy target.
Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund for the coming year.
Structure, Governance and Management
Trustee Selection Methods
Trustees retire every three years and may stand for re – election.  Election of trustees is determined by the membership.  The Trustees are volunteers, contributing significantly to the charity’s activities in addition to fulfilling their trustee responsibilities.
Within the Board of Trustees there is a wide range of expertise and experience. The Trustees follow an induction programme to familiarise themselves with the charity and their role when they join the organisation and receive regular training.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
"Lyndale" Knowsley Cancer Support Centre Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 02184955 and registered charity number 519725 . The registered office is .
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements 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 charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31  October 2025, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is  appropriate to adopt the going concern  basis  in preparing  the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.
There are no endowment funds.
2.4. Incoming Resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the organisation is entitled to the income, receipt is probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
  • Grants receivable:
Grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when they are receivable.  Grants that are awarded for specific purposes are treated as restricted income. 
Grants received for acquisition of fixed assets are accounted for as restricted funds when the recognition criteria are met. The restricted fund is reduced by the depreciation or amortisation charges made over the expected useful life of the asset concerned. 
Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Where applicable, grants receivable for which cash has not yet been realised are shown as accrued income and is included within debtors. If any grants are received in advance of a period to which they relate, then the amount of the grant, which relates to the future periods is shown as deferred grants and is included within creditors. 
Grants where the income is related to performance and specific deliverables are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
  • Donations:
Income form donations is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received.  
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.On 18 March 2025 the Trustees requested a rebuild cost assessment for the property for insurance purposes which indicated the value to be significantly in excess of the carrying value of the property in the financial statements.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value 
over their estimated useful lives:
Freehold Property and Alterations 2% on cost less estimated residual value
Fixtures & Fittings 25% on cost
Page 9
Page 10
2.6. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the statement of financial activities as incurred.
2.7. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
2.8. Financial Instruments
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn,  are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
2.9. Taxation
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
2.10. Recognition of liabilities and expenditure
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the  obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
2.11. Volunteers
In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. 
However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers.
2.12. Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
