Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 October 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 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 goods Turnover 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 services 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. 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 and Depreciation 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 - 3 years 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

The Unlikely Mummy is an award-winning organisation which started off as a blogging site to moan about being a mum. There was clearly a need for a certain parental provision, and I saw that the conversations I was having to what started off as a small reach of 500 people was effective. I took the opportunity to expand on my previous a ‘pop up’ family and wellbeing market, where 16 local businesses brought a table to showcase their business but support a growing community of families. This saw over 300 families visit all taking away vital information and support. One mum said “Kavita has shown me that I am not alone and there is support available to me. Business owners have said “Kavita has created such an amazing community, and I am proud to be a part of this”. This has now moved to an online ad-hoc support for local business and community groups, due to the nature of the environment and the change in demand. In total I have successfully run three face to face markets over 30 different businesses, with many returning back for the second and third market, reaching over 300+ families with many visiting more than once and investing their money and belief that the community is able to support. In addition to this, I ran a retreat for mums for their wellbeing, activities included, yoga, journalling, massage, spiritual readings. The day was a huge success, and many asked for it to happen again. The Unlikely Mummy also created resources and self-care opportunities and created a Mindfulness Booked filled with activities to be able to give confidence and self-belief, this was designed and created and sold online and at event. These books have been given to midwives and health visitors to show new mums that help is available if needed and as a result, local doctors recommend speaking to The Unlikely Mummy. One mum messaged to say “My GP told me to come and speak with you as I am struggling with my mental Health”. I have been invited to record several podcasts talking about the impact of parenting and culture on mental health and how I would protect myself from any triggers. As an award-winning organisation, this has allowed me to campaign for National Charities such as National Childbirth Trust, where I spoke on BBC Women’s Hour and Channel 5 evening news asking for all mums to have a 6-8 check, The Unlikely Mummy ensured all new mums now receive this. In additional, I have spoken on LBC Radio discussing the impact social media has on Mental Health and as a result, I move some online workshops to face to face such as the Danson’s Mums Meet Up – I created this concept to allow mums a safe place to meet up weekly and just talk. “Kavita has been a key community champion and always puts other first”. I have also featured on podcasts that talk about the struggles, the barriers and the loneliest of parenting, and as a result, many people reach out to me as my story is relatable. The Unlikely Mummy has an online reach of 4000+ with an engagement reach of over 20,000+. The Organisation has an in person reach of 2000+ through various events and activities, talks and networking. A lot of the reach is talking and offering advice and support for ‘free’ The work being done isn’t going unnoticed, as the local MP for the area, Abena Oppong-Asare mentioned Kavita Trevena, The Unlikely Mummy in her Internationals Women’s Speech at the Houses of Common, talking about the positive work the organisation is doing with mums and mental health and the recently the King and Queen recognised the work the Organisation is doing through the Coronation Champions Award through the Royal Voluntary Service. The Unlikely Mummy started off small but is slowly growing and adapting to the needs of the community.

Consultation with stakeholders

The Organisation has many stakeholders from local business, funders like Sport England and Exercise Movement and Dance, two local councils, the Integrated Care Board (NHS), Bromley Health Care where I have been a consultant to improve their service offer. Working with Children Centres and local community libraries, Maternity Voices partnerships, organisations and Research facilities to gain valuable insight into to community engagement and need. I have formed positive relations with the community providers to offer in-kind venue space to provide outreach for the market events and workshops such as mums wellbeing and yoga. I have had referrals from Midwives, health visitors and doctors recommending The Unlikely Mummy as a community person to reach out to and talk to. All of the families I have worked with are stakeholders as they shape what the organisation does through open consultation, feedback, polls, surveys to shape the offers. Both the Directors are local mums with local businesses, come from a teaching or nursery background, the knowledge and experience they bring, also bring in additional stakeholders into the community. Proving valuable support via counselling and bespoke programmes. I have also used social media tools as a way of capturing what positive work being done and feeding this back through engagement posts and advertising all the possible opportunities.
