This page details our key financial documents, policies and reports. It will get quite in-depth at times, but we've made every attempt to make it 'human-readable'.
Policies
We have several policies that guide how we spend our funds. These policies are changed by the board as and when needed.
- Our Finance Policy sets out how we maintain suitable financial controls to safeguard our assets and ensure they are applied effectively and efficiently in support of our objects. Where financial conflicts between different policies exist, generally the Finance Policy will take precedence.
- Our Conflict of Interest Policy controls when a trustee is allowed to claim expenses, and the very limited circumstances in which a Trustee may buy from, sell to, be employed by, or receive financial benefit from the charity.
- Our Scheme of Delegation sets out the powers that are delegated to the Chief Executive - for example, the power to spend money, hire staff, or represent the charity publicly.
Annual Reports
Since 2012, our Annual Reports and end-of-year accounts have been created in two formats - a glossy version with limited financial information, known as the Annual Review, and a plain version with full financial information, known as the Annual Report. The Annual Report is the copy that is submitted to Companies House and the Charity Commission.
