  • 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:Plant & Machinery - 50% Straight Line

    Other accounting policies

    TaxationCorporation tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable.The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit 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.

Company activities and impact

We held our first ever fully funded Mental Health Workshops during this year! We have 185 in total attend those workshops for free – which was a great turn out! We held these in our new woodland location and the feedback about the content has been great. People overall felt happier and more relaxed for attending. We were very passionate about getting these workshops for free due to the increase in cost of living for everyone, we are pleased we were able to offer families a free event to enjoy. We have started to attend schools to help with facilitate outdoor education – these sessions have been received very well and the schools are interested in extending the provision due to the positive impact it has had on the children. Overall sessions and locations we had 266 people attend our workshops which is a drop from last year however due to a location shift, getting the new a site ready and now we are attending schools this isn’t a surprising drop.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders include the local community, Local Home Education groups, Schools, Young people's charities and local families. We often engage with the local community and previous participants via Facebook, asking for feedback and ideas on forming new workshops. We asked the community for feedback on our new location and the sessions we’ve held there; “My kids loved the carving there own tent pegs learning to use the knives the most And they always love working with friends to build fires. It was a lovely atmosphere and we learnt lots and saw lots of great nature around us. We would love to do more we enjoyed it very much”“The knowledge and enthusiasm of the staff, as they made the session extremely interesting and interactive.”“I have always enjoyed the outdoors and love it when there are experts to explain the way of the woods and how in the past we would have used it to survive and passing this knowledge on I feel is very important for us as well as the woods “
