1. Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards and the Companies Act and comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities.  The policies adopted for items which are judged material to the financial statements are as follows:
Incoming resources
Donations and gifts are recognised as income when received except where any restrictions on expenditure demand that a proportion be carried forward as deferred income. The donations under Gift Aid are recognised when receivable.  The associated income tax recovery is recognised when the recovery is receivable.

Interest is recognised as income when receivable.

Grants are recognised as income when they are received provided conditions for receipt have been complied with, unless they relate to a specified future period in which case they are deferred.
Resources expended
Resources expended are recognised on an accruals basis. They are allocated to activities based on actual usage and time spent. Establishment and support costs are all allocated to the activity of provision of client care as no other activity uses a significant amount of such facilities.

Costs of activities in furtherance of the charity’s objects comprise those costs incurred by the charity as a result of the delivery of its service.

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.

Governance costs comprise those costs incurred by the charity in meeting its constitutional and statutory requirements.

Fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at cost less depreciation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so that the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value are written off over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:

Freehold property                   2% straight line
Equipment                            25% written down value


Restricted funds
The restricted funds represent the funds specifically earmarked for the charity's property and other projects, specified by the donor.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds are funds which can be utilised at the discretion of the trustees.
