Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 March 2023

  • 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

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.Sale of goodsTurnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.Rendering of servicesTurnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:Computer Equipment: 33% straight line

    Other accounting policies

    2.4. TaxationIncome tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.The tax currently payable is based on taxable surplus for the year. Taxable surplus differs from surplus as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable surplus. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable surplus will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable surplus will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in surplus or deficit, except when they related to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Company activities and impact

Curious Motion has continued to develop our dance and creative health programme with our local community. This year we were able to build on the foundations set last year, and we made some significant achievements, including winning a Community Spirit Award and securing our very first multiyear grant in recognition of our work.Projects for the year were:- Development of activity programme: we now have an established programme of classes and workshops on offer all year round, including the continuation of Brews & Grooves for older people, monthly walks, Dance for Wellbeing adult classes, and Rhythm & Brews monthly workshops.- Elland Happiness Lab Showcase: the culmination of this project took place in July 2022, with a special showcase event where we shared a documentary about the project and created a series of specially created dance performance pieces to share with the community. This project reached over 300 local people, including many refugees, asylum seekers, children, and older people. We were awarded a Community Spirit Award in recognition of this project. Full information and the documentary of this project can be found here: https://www.curiousmotion.orq.uk/projects/ellands-happiness-lab/- Stories in Motion: in January 2023 we launched our very first programme for children and young people. This was in response to requests from families seeking sanctuary who we have developed strong relationships with. These are creative movement and storytelling sessions, which run in term time in partnership with Elland Library. Over 40 people have engaged in the project so far.- The Welland Activator: this is our first multi-year project, and a background programme of delivery began in October 2022. It aims to build on the work we are already doing to make more impact in the community, particularly in cultivating connection, belonging, and wellbeing for local people. At the end of the financial year we secured support from Arts Council England and the National Lottery Community Fund to take this forward in the next year and beyond. The first year of the project is exploring ideas and trying things out, with the aim of establishing an embedded programme of creative health activity in Elland and the surrounding areas over the next three years. The Welland Activator includes our regular activity programme, an annual Welland showcase, a new podcast, and the creation of film work.- Sounding Board: we also established a new steering group for our organisation; a place where local people can be involved in the direction and planning of our projects and activities. The Sounding Board serves as a place for people to nurture their own wellbeing too.We now have around 40 people engaging with us regularly every month, and over 500 people have engaged with our wider projects. We have also established strong partnerships with other local VCSE organisations including St Augustine's, Staying Well, and Healthy Minds, alongside local Social Prescribing Link Workers. They regularly refer people into our services and support us to ensure our work is relevant and beneficial for them.There is a strong sense of connection between participants, and we have plans to measure our impact in more detail going forward. Feedback this year has included:- I have been attending the sessions since they began here in Elland and have found the weekly sessions to be so helpful physically and mentally. It's good to have a place to express feelings through dance in a safe and friendly environment and to share in a time of fun and laughter with other "mature ladies". I hope to be able to carry on enjoying my time there Jong into the future.- Feels like you are the glue that can join people to others.- [Curious Motion] runs a wonderful unique class, there is nothing like this within a 10 mile radius. Long may it run. We retired people need something to look forward to, improving my balance is a must, meeting the group is a very special part of my week. Sam's explanations are clear, no pushing from her to get the routines correct. Very supportive with aspects due toillness of any description. Very friendly caring and understanding person. Our hour and half exercise class stretches us all, both in mind and body, and is so enjoyed by us all. We come away feeling very cheerful, positive and proud about ourselves and eager for the coming week. We will be Ballerinas some day.For further information please visit our website: ww.curiousmotion.orq.uk

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are our project participants, the artists and practitioners we work with, our board, our partners, and the wider community of Calderdale, particularly residents in the lower valley and Elland areas.We regularly consult with our stakeholders to obtain feedback, learn from their experiences, and shape our ideas. This takes place via informal conversations during and after our projects, surveys, meetings, and one-to-one chats. We also collate this information to report back to our funders and provide an overall evaluation of our impact. This year we also documented some of our work through film and have plans to continue this going forward.Establishing our Sounding Board group has also enabled us to ensure more people from the local community can directly inform what we do. The group meets once every two months and we explore a different topic related to our work each time.We are continuing to explore the notion of storytelling to help measure our impact as it ensures that the experiences of our participants are not hindered by evaluation methods. Conversation and time to connect over food has been welcomed widely and resulted in more detail on the impact we are making and how best we might develop this.
