  • 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 from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover 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.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: Freehold buildings over 50 years, Leasehold land and buildings over the lease term, Plant and machinery over 5 years, Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment over 5 years,

Company activities and impact

Equal Support Opportunities (ESO) provides day and evening care services and activities for young people who have learning differences, physical disabilities and may also be experiencing mental issues, in East Staffordshire, South Derbyshire, and North Leicestershire. ESO also provides PA and Respite support for the parents and carers of these young people. We take a holistic approach by doing all we can to meet the physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs of the young people that access our services. We develop life skills for independent living and opportunities for preparation and access to the world of work, from our Burton based and our Home-based hub. As a community organisation, we work with other local organisations in order to develop exciting activities to stimulate and excite the minds of these young people, such as drama, arts & craft and trips and visits, along with making use of our access to forestry walks and trails locally, in order to promote exercise. Our work with local businesses has enabled a number of our young people to have work opportunities, which has lead to offers of full time employment.
