Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 March 2024

  • 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.

    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

    Taxation Income 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 grown significantly this year, particularly due to securing multi-year funding, which has enabled us to secure essential job roles for the first time and focus on our longer-term impact; strengthening relationships with our community and enabling us to offer more services. Our main project this year was The Welland Activator. A background programme of work began in 2022, and this year we completed the first full year of the project. The Welland Activator is a three-year project that aims to reduce loneliness in Elland and the lower valley of Calderdale by embedding high quality, accessible dance and arts for health experiences in our communities. The project includes a year-round programme of classes and workshops, a podcast, performance opportunities, and festival events. https://curiousmotion.org.uk/projects/welland-activator/ 463 people participated in a workshop or class this year and a further 1500+ people have engaged with our wider projects. We have a core community of 61 people who engage with us regularly every month. Our partnerships with other local VCSE organisations have also grown and strengthened, particularly with St Augustine’s Centre and Calderdale Valley of Sanctuary – we have had a strong focus on supporting refugees and asylum seekers this year, and thanks to their support we now support over 30 people seeking sanctuary on a monthly basis. We have also developed partnerships with SWYPFT NHS Trust, contributing to their new Create and Bloom app, which goes live next year to support the local community to access creative health activities from home. We also produced the ‘Movement Re-imagined guide’ thanks to funding from Creative Minds/SWYPFT, which supports organisations and individuals working with older people in care/wellbeing contexts to integrate informal and accessible dance and movement practices into their services. Movement Re-imagined has been shared with over 35 organisations and groups, including care homes, assisted living centres, Overgate Hospice, Active Calderdale, small charities and voluntary groups, and wider health services across West Yorkshire. Feedback from our community has been an essential part of our learning and development. We have been delighted to be able to build strong and meaningful relationships that are directly supporting holistic wellbeing and boosting belonging and connection. Feedback from both our community and team included: - Thank you for creating a safe space where we can fully express ourselves. - The opportunity to play and explore freedom of expression is really valuable and helps me to feel like I can be myself whilst enjoying getting to know others. - I feel more confident in trying new things and expressing myself due to the sense of solidarity and togetherness that the group has created. - Being a part of Curious Motion has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career so far. It's been a pleasure getting to know the Elland community and working with the team. - Working with Curious Motion has enabled me to grow as a practitioner and transfer the skills I've learnt to other areas of my practice. Working with communities was something I was curious about when I first started, and I now hold it as the cornerstone of my practice. The joy that it brings me enriches my life. This year has been a year of fruitful discovery, play, and experimentation. We’d like to express our gratitude to the people of Elland, the lower valley, and the wider Calderdale community for their support, trust, and guidance. For full information, please read our 2023 impact report: https://curiousmotion.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Impact-Report-2023-FINAL.pdf

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. Our Sounding Board steering group was also fully established this year, with 9 members who meet regularly. This has been an essential part of our development, ensuring our community can lead our development. We have begun connecting our Sounding Board with our Board of Directors to make all levels of decision making available to our community too, and we are continuing to explore this way of working. This year we also published our first Impact Report, which has been a helpful and meaningful way to reflect on our learning, explore our impact, and share this more widely with our community.
