Hand in Hand International1rustees' ReportFor the year ended 31 March 2019

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Aims, issues you tackle, changes you seek to make

Joblessness is among the greatest threats to human flourishing today. Only conflict, climatechange and water crises pose a graver risk, according to the World Bank. And 7.5 million

respondents to the United Nations My World Global Survey rank 'job opportunities' third ontheir list of collective priorities.

They' re right to worry. In the next 10 years the global economy will need to create 600 million

jobs, according to the International Labour Organization. It won't be the formal sector thatprovides them. More than 3 billion people work informally in agriculture, day labour andhousehold enterprises, according to the World Bank. In Hand in Hand operating countries suchas Kenya, as few as 10 percent of people work in formal employment. In India, 51 percent ofpeople are self-employed, many informally.

Traditionally, the informal sector has been viewed with suspicion —as a source of unregulated,unstable enterprise. We see it differently —as a source of potential. Only by ernpoweringmillions of would-be entrepreneurs to launch their own businesses, boost their own incomesand seize their own destinies does the world have a chance to beat poverty.

Let's get to work.

Strategies for achieving aims

Here's how we' re helping. First, we create community groups made up mostly of women who

support each other, save together and learn together. Next, we train group members todevelop small businesses that make the most of their skills and potential. As a third step,entrepreneurs are provided with access to microloans that, with support from fellow groupmembers, are almost always paid back. Finally, we help entrepreneurs scale up their businesses

by connecting them to value chains and larger markets.

How we measure success

Hand in Hand updated our Theory of Change this year, making two notable changes to the way

we think and talk about our programmes. First, we repositioned women's economic

empowerment, once conceived as a consequence of our work creating jobs, at the very centre

of our model. Before, we asked: how can we train as many women as possible to run their own

businesses, and how can we make those businesses as profitable as possible? Now, we also

want to know: how can we address the specific barriers faced by women entrepreneurs such

as restricted mobility and expectations around 'women's work"?

At the same time, we broadened our focus from sustainable to resilient jobs —not just long-

lasting, but able to stand up to climate change.

Both changes could, from the outside, be mistaken as minor, but both will have far-reaching

implications on the way we deliver and measure our programmes. Work is ongoing to finalise a

Hand in Hand InternationalTrustees' ReportFor the year ended 31 March 2019

set of indicators —in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals —that reflect both

changes. Broadly speaking, however, we expect to adopt the following types of metrics:

W en's o r en

~ Increased mobility and input into household expenditure~ Improved perception of abilities and self-worth

Pr it ! a dr silient nter r'

~ Average percent change in enterprise(s) income from baseline~ Enterprise(s)' survival rate after 12 months after training completed~ Diversification and intensification of enterprises from baseline (to boost climate

resilience)

Hand in Hand regularly commissions external programme evaluations from independent

researchers. This year, two such reports were published: an end-term review of our biggest-

ever programme in Afghanistan, joint-funded with UK aid from the British people, and a mid-

term evaluation of one of our biggest programmes in Kenya, joint-funded by the IKEA

Foundation.

Significant activities

Within the network, Hand in Hand International (the UK registered charity) concentrates onfive significant activities that support our longer-term job creation targets.

1.2.3.4.5.

Raising fundsDemonstrating resultsSharing knowledgeBuilding capacityCommunicating effectively

These five areas complement each other. Results and knowledge gained from programmeimplementation and evaluation are critical for effective fundraising and supporting new andcurrent partners. Capacity building is critical for programme expansion. And effectivecommunication is important for fundraising, attracting new partners and advocating foreffective job creation policies.

Our focus, of course, is on fundraising. But in order to make our fundraising more effective, wealso work in other areas to fund and support our partners: programme evaluation, impactassessment and analysis that validate results and help us learn; disseminating results, lessonslearned and other forms of knowledge; capacity building; and preparing more effectivecommunication and marketing materials.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Network-wide, Hand in Hand created and enhanced 561,662 jobs in 2018-'19.

Hand in Hand InternationalTrustees' ReportFor the year ended 31 March 2019

Here in the UK at Hand in Hand International, we set ourselves the following goals in last year' sTrustees' Report:

~Fd

Hand in Hand International raised US $5.8 million in 2018-'19. 1n addition, we helped other Hand

in Hand network members secure US $0.9 million from European donors including Sida, the

Swedish International Development Agency, and CAFOD, the Catholic international

development charity. Together, these figures were 9 percent lower than planned. Currency

movements, sector-wide stagnation and a lower-than-expected fundraising returns

contributed to the shortfall.

We are grateful for the continued and renewed support of our Patrons, Trustees and many ofour donors, including the IKEA Foundation and Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale

Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the German government's development agency, and the Heinz Family

Foundation. We would also like to thank Applied Value and Google UK.

~Pt N

Partnerships are a central plank in Hand in Hand's Strategic Plan (2017-2021), enabling us toreach scale, lower our costs, avoid duplication and focus on what we do best: creating jobs. In

the past, we' ve tended to help partners boost their beneficiaries' incomes, but this year we setout to do something different: agree two "game-changing" partnerships that would

significantly increase our impact on women's economic empowerment.

In December we teamed up with CARE, whose Every Voice Counts programme aims to givewomen in Afghanistan more influence in political processes at the local and national levels.What would happen, we wondered, if we combined Hand in Hand's economic empowermentwith CARE's political empowerment? Would women who have been part of a politicalempowerment programme, and who also received business training and enterprise support,demonstrate higher economic and political empowerment than women who have been part ofa political empowerment programme only or an economic empowerment programme only?

By tracking three cohorts of women each —those who receive political empowerment training,those who receive economic empowerment training, and those who receive both —over aperiod of two years, that's exactly what we hope to find out. At the same time, we aim tocreate 990 jobs.

In Tanzania, we joined with Cartier Philanthropy and the US-based international Center forResearch on Women to boost women's economic empowerment by involving a group that-on this subject, anyway —almost always goes overlooked: men. Launched in March, theprogramme aims to train 600 women to create and manage their own enterprises while

changing attitudes that stop them from earning an income in the first place. When the projectconcludes in 2022, the lessons we learn will feed into a 'male engagement toolkit' beingdeveloped by ICRW, Cartier Philanthropy and other partners and shared sector-wide.

Hand in Hand InternationalTrustees' ReportFor the year ended 31 March 2019

Outlined above under "how we measure success", this year's efforts to collect bigger, betterdata returned to first principles, with an update of our underlying Theory of Change. Work is

underway to finalise a set of indicators, in line with the SDGs, that best capture our two newpriorities —women's economic empowerment and resilient livelihoods —in addition to moretraditional metrics such as household income.

or eu a

This year, Hand in Hand year launched best-in-class training in Kenya, producing new and

improved training manuals for 1raining Officers throughout the country. The manuals take full

advantage of everything we' ve learned since launching in Kenya in 2010, as well as the mostup-to-date learning sector-wide.

At its core, our training remained broadly the same. But thanks to the review, it will also be:

~ better adapted to micro-entrepreneurs as opposed to SMEs;

~ better adapted to low levels of literacy among particularly older, rural members;~ better geared towards assessing members' learning; and

~ more interactive

The new manuals are currently being piloted in Kenya, with rollout in Tanzania scheduled for

later this year.

C'

i s: li

1his year, Hand in Hand pledged to share our entrepreneurs' inspiring stories with readers

across the globe. Thanks in no small part to Frozan, an 18-year old beekeeper from Afghanistan

whose profile by Thomson Reuters went viral (by sector standards, anyway), that's exactly

what happened. Charting her rise from schoolgirl to businesswoman, Frozan's story was picked

up by outlets as geographically and topically diverse as Al Jazeera, the Daily Mail, the New

York Post, BBC Persia and Russia's Sputnik News. By the time it was done circulating more

than 350 million potential readers had been reached, making 2018-'19 our most successful year

ever for earned media.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Future, aims, objectives and activities planned

Hand in Hand International's priorities for the coming financial year, set during our annual

strategic review, are:

~Fd ii ~

Secure at least one multi-year women's economic empowerment programme worth at least US$1M

This goal reflects Hand in Hand's commitment to work more systematically with women,enshrined in our Theory of Change, by implementing programmes that more explicitly targetthe multi-dimensional barriers women face every day.

Hand in Hand InternationalTrustees' ReportFor the year ended 31 March 2019

Female participation in Hand in Hand programmes has always been high. Securing a women' seconomic empowerment programme worth at least US $1m is about leveraging thisparticipation to achieve more sustained, life-changing, enterprise-boosting impacts for womengroup members: improving how women entrepreneurs are perceived in their communities, forexample, or increasing male engagement in household work, thereby freeing up women to dopaid work.

Grow our income originatingin Euros or CHF by 15percent

With political uncertainty the new and ongoing norm, we anticipate significant currencyfluctuations in 2019-'20. Already, more than 75 percent of our income is in currencies otherthan G13P. To help spread the risk and continue to strengthen our donor base away from theUK, we' re targeting 15 percent growth in income originating in Euros or Swiss francs.

To get there, we' ll register and set up a not-for-profit organisation in Germany, with its main

objective to raise funds.

~P*

Ensure half of our new pr ogrammes seek to adjust for the additional barriers that women face inrunning an enterprise; and the other half go even further in reducing those barriers.

Although fernale participation in Hand in Hand programmes is high, some of our programmeslack a consistent approach for supporting female members specifically. Introducing processesand tools to ensure this is the case will allow us to more consistently reach a broaderconstituency of women, and help them achieve even greater success in most of ourprogrammes.

Under this goal we commit to at least 50 percent of our new programmes being gendersensitive, meaning they will include adjustments to compensate for the additional barrierswomen face when running an enterprise. This could include introducing childcare optionslinked to Hand in Hand training to allow more young women to participate, or ensuring thattraining is held at times compatible with domestic tasks. We further commit that up to 50percent of our programmes will be gender transformative, meaning they will not simply adjustfor the constraints women currently face, but proactively seek to reduce them. This couldmean supporting women to take leadership roles in their communities or Self-Help Groups, orengaging men in domestic work to allow women to invest more time in growing theirbusinesses.

r 'n

Roll out a set ofindicators that clearly measure how competitive we arein improving families'income AND women's economic empowerment, across all maj or programmes.

Work is underway to design and roll out a new set of indicators to reflect our changedobjectives, expressed in our Theory of Change. (See 'How we measure success' on page 2 fordetails. ) At the same time, we' ll continue to work with independent evaluators to understandhow our programmes are working, and how they could be working better. In 2019-'20, weexpect external evaluators to publish six such studies.

STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE

The Trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31

March 2019.

Governing Document

The charity was incorporated by trust deed on 18 February 2006 and registered as a charity on

that date.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

As set out in the Trust Deed, the Board of Trustees nominates the Chair of the Trustees. TheBoard has powers to appoint additional Trustees as it considers in-line with skills required.

Induction and Training of New Trustees

New Trustees are considered on the basis of any gaps in the skills of the board. They areinvited to meet the existing Trustees and senior members of staff and familiarise themselveswith the work of Hand in Hand International. Further training is provided on an on-going basisin line with the identified needs of Trustees. Trustees sign a conflict of interest declaration eachyear.

Public Benefit statement

The Trustees confirm they have complied with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have dueregard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, "Charities and PublicBenefit".

Risk Management

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and

to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud anderror. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particularthose relating to operational areas of the charity, its investments and finances. A written risk

register is in place and reviewed at every Board meeting. This lists the key risks the Charity

faces and puts in place mitigating controls. The Trustees believe that by monitoring reservelevels, by ensuring controls exist over key financial systems and by examining the operationaland business risks faced by the charity, they have established effective systems to mitigatethose risks.

Investment Policy

Hand in Hand International receives income for ongoing projects over a three to five year timehorizon and budgets to expend all anticipated income, except for retaining a prudent amountin reserves. It has no permanent endowment and provides for capital expenditure within its

budget.

Hand in Hand InternationalTrustees' ReportFor the year ended 31 March 2019

Consequently the Trustees do not consider it prudent to invest income for the longer term. Itspolicy is to retain funds as cash and place them on bank deposit at the best rates available.

Remuneration of Staff

Last year the Charity committed to implement the recommendations of the NCVO Inquiry onExecutive Pay published in April 2014. As a result the Charity updated its remuneration policyand is pleased to make the disclosures below.

The governing principles of the Charity's remuneration policy are as follows:

~ To ensure delivery of the Charity's objectives~ To attract and retain a motivated workforce with the skills and expertise necessary for

organisational effectiveness~ That remuneration should be equitable and coherent across the organisation~ To take account of the purposes, aims and values of the Charity~ To ensure that pay levels and pay increases are appropriate in the contexts of the

interest of our beneficiary

Senior Executive Remuneration

In relation to deciding remuneration of the Charity's senior executives, the Charity considersthe potential impact of remuneration levels and structures of senior executives on the widerCharity workforce and will take account of the following additional principles:

To ensure that the charity can access the types of skills, experiences and competencies that it

needs in its senior staff, the specific scope of these roles in the Charity and the link to pay.The nature of the wider employment offer made to senior employment where pay is one partof a package that includes personal development, personal fulfilment and association with thepublic benefit delivered. The Charity recognises that it is, on occasion, possible to attract seniorexecutives at a discount to public sector or private sector market rates.

In line with the recommendations of the NCVO Inquiry into Executive Remuneration publishedin April 2014, the charity has decided to disclose the remuneration of the Executive Teamcomprising the Chief Executive and the other executive directors of the Charity.

Remuneration for the year ended 31 March 2019 comprised salary and pension contributions.There are no other pecuniary benefits for senior or other staff at the Charity.

Going Concern

The trustees have assessed the use of going concern and have considered possible events orconditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a goingconcern.

The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of theapproval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charity'sforecast and projections and have taken account of pressures on income. After makingenquiries the trustees have concluded that there is reasonable expectation that the Charity hasenough resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Charitytherefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparation its financial statements.

Trustees' Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in

accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.

(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. )

Charity law requires trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give

a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure

for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

~ select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

~ observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;~ make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

~ state whether applicable accounting standards, including FRS 102, have been followed,

subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements~ state whether a Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applies and has

been followed, subject to any material departures which are explained in the

financial statements;~ prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is

inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with

reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them toensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also

responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable stepsfor the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Day to day management of the charity is delegated to Dorothea Amdt, Nick Aveling, I3ob

Cooke and Amalia Johnsson.

Appointment of Auditors

Kingston Smith was reappointed as auditor during 2018/19 and have indicated their willingnessto continue in office.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HAND IN HAND INTERNATIONAL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Hand in Hand International for the year ended 31 March2019 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the Cash FlowStatement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and UnitedKingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in

the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

~ give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2019, and of itsincoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;

a have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally AcceptedAccounting Practice; and

~ have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs(UK)) andapplicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor'sResponsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent ofthe charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financialstatements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we haveobtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) requireus to report to you where:

~ the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financialstatements is not appropriate; or

~ the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertaintiesthat may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concernbasis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financialstatements are authorised for issue.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financialstatements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Ouropinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extentotherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information

and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financialstatements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If

we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required todetermine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a materialmisstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that thereis a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires usto report to you if, in our opinion:

~ the information given in the Trustees' Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with

the financial statements; or~ the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or~ the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or~ we have not received all the information and explanations we required for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement set out on page [x], the trustees areresponsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a trueand fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable thepreparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to ceaseoperations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144' of the Charities Act 2011 and report in

accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonab(e assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that anaudit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintainprofessional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

~ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.

~ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressingan opinion on the effectiveness of the charity's internal control.

~ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.

~ Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related toevents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a

' If a charity which is below the thresholds where a charity audit is required decides to have its accounts audited voluntarily, theauditor is appointed under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.

13

going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

~ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in

internal control that we identify during our audit.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2019

l. Accounting policies

a) The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standardapplicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).The company is a public benefit entity for the purposes ofFRS 102 and a registered charity established as a company limited by guarantee and therefore has also prepared its

financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to chanties preparingtheir accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland

(The FRS102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have beenprepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these accounts havebeen rounded to the nearest pound. The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention,modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set outbelow.

Going concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate and have considered possible events orconditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern.The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of thesefinancial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charitable company's forecasts and projectionsand have taken account of pressures on fee income. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that therea reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existencefor the foreseeable future. The charitable company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in

preparing its financial statements.

b) All income is recognised when there is entitlement to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amountcan be measured reliably. Donations and grants, including grants in respect of major items of refurbishment,

improvements or the purchase of fixed assets are recognised in in the Statement of Financial Activities when

receivable. Where income is received in advance of meeting any performance-related conditions there is notunconditional entitlement to the income and its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred incomeuntil the performance-related conditions are met.

c) Gifts in Kind are included as donated income at market value at the time of receipt.

d) Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT

which cannot be recovered. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfereconomic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlementand the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities. Certain shared costs are apportioned toactivities in furtherance of the objects of the charity and raising funds. Office costs and property related costs areapportioned on the proportion of floor area occupied by the activity. Staff costs and office costs are allocated in thesame proportion as directly attributed staff costs. Costs incurred for the management of the charitable company'sassets, organisational management and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements are treated assupport costs and allocated to chantable activities.

e) Depreciation is provided at rates to write off the cost of each asset by equal annual instalments over theirexpected useful lives as follows.

Office equipmentLeasehold improvements

4 years10 years

Assets costing more than ES00 are capitalised.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

For the year ended 31 March 2019

f) Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meetsthese criteria is charged to the fund.

g) Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for

the objects of the charitable company.

h) Designated funds are also unrestricted funds but have been designated by the trustees for a particular purposeand includes the net book value of tangible fixed assets used by the charitable company in its operationalactivities.

i) Rental payments under operating leases are charged as expenditure as incurred over the term of the lease.

j) The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are heldseparately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund.

The pension cost charge represents contributions payable under the scheme by the chantable company tothe fund. The charitable company has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of thosecontributions.

k) Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterkng at the rates of exchange rulingat the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchangeruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the net incoming

resources for the year.

Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

I) In the wew of the trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that havea significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions

made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year .

Other financial instruments

m) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and short term deposits with a maturity of three months orless.

n) Debtors and Creditors

Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are carried at theirtransaction price. Debtors and creditors that are receivable or payable in more than one year and not subjectto a market rate of interest are measured at the present value of the expected future receipts or paymentdiscounted at a market rate of interest.
