    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.

Company activities and impact

Introduction to Awake Workshops CIC Awake Workshops CIC is a community-driven organization dedicated to empowering young women by fostering emotional resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. Through structured workshops, mentorship, and community outreach, we create safe, supportive spaces where participants can develop essential life skills, build confidence, and navigate personal challenges with greater clarity. Our work is rooted in the belief that emotional well-being is the foundation for a fulfilling life, and we are committed to equipping individuals with the tools they need to cultivate healthier relationships, stronger self-esteem, and a deeper sense of purpose. Company Activities and Community Benefit (May 2023 – May 2024) During this reporting period, Awake Workshops CIC had a direct reach of 204 individuals and an indirect reach of 533, with most participants being females aged 11-64. Our work focused on supporting young people’s emotional and personal development through workshops, mentoring, and community outreach. Workshops for Young People We facilitated 28 workshops for girls aged 11-16, covering core emotional skills such as resilience, self-esteem, confidence, purpose, relationships, navigating adversity, family dynamics, authenticity, and values. These sessions provided a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where participants could openly share, reflect, and develop skills to build more aligned and fulfilling lives. One-to-One Mentoring To ensure continued support, we offered fortnightly one-to-one mentoring sessions for a 12-week period following the workshops. We delivered 32 personalized mentoring sessions, tailored to the individual needs of each participant. These sessions provided a structured yet flexible space for personal growth, reflection, and closure, helping participants integrate their learning into daily life. Community Outreach We prioritized community engagement, with a focus on participant recruitment, local support, and signposting to relevant services. As part of this, we: - Attended six outreach events in Norwich, connecting with 47 members of the public. - Distributed over 130 free self-help resources, offering practical tools for emotional well-being. - Provided signposting services to individuals seeking further support. This outreach helped create opportunities for connection, emotional skill development, and greater awareness of local support services. Laptop Donation Initiative In May, we were fortunate to receive a donation of five refurbished laptops from VPS Group, with the condition that they be passed on to individuals in need. These laptops have now been donated to clients facing barriers to IT access, education, and employment, helping them take meaningful steps toward personal and professional development. College-Based Workshops We also facilitated two workshops at a local college, focusing on values and emotional resilience. These sessions encouraged young people to: - Explore what matters most to them. - Develop skills to navigate challenges more effectively. - Feel more confident and empowered in their choices and achievements. Overall Impact Through our workshops, mentoring, outreach, and community initiatives, Awake Workshops CIC has made a meaningful contribution to emotional well-being, resilience, and empowerment in the community. By creating safe spaces for reflection, learning, and personal growth, we have helped individuals build stronger relationships, develop emotional skills, and feel more equipped to navigate life’s challenges.

Consultation with stakeholders

Awake Workshops CIC has a diverse range of stakeholders, including: 1 Primary Beneficiaries – Young women aged 11-16 who participate in our workshops. 2 Wider Community – Members of the public in Norwich, including individuals engaged through outreach efforts. 3 Directors – The company’s leadership team, responsible for overseeing activities and ensuring alignment with our mission. Stakeholder Consultation Methods To ensure our activities remain relevant and impactful, we actively engage our stakeholders through various consultation methods: 1 Workshop Participant Feedback - We held monthly feedback sessions with young women attending our workshops. - Feedback was gathered through surveys, sticky note reflections, and guided group discussions to assess their needs, experiences, and suggestions for improvement. 2 Community Engagement & Outreach - During community outreach events, we spoke with members of the public to understand local needs. - Conversations focused on what resources or support they would find most helpful. - This input informed potential new project ideas for different age groups beyond our core demographic. 3 Director Consultation - The board of directors meets quarterly to review project activities, assess community impact, and discuss strategic direction. - Stakeholder feedback is presented during these meetings to ensure decisions reflect the needs of participants and the wider community. Actions Taken in Response to Stakeholder Feedback Based on our consultations, we implemented several key changes: - Expanded Workshop Content – In response to participant feedback, we adjusted our workshop themes to include additional focus areas, such as navigating adversity, self-expression, and future planning. - Improved Support Services – Participants expressed a need for ongoing support, leading to the introduction of one-to-one mentoring sessions after workshop completion. - Community-Informed Project Development – Insights from public outreach directly influenced the development of new project ideas, allowing us to explore potential initiatives for broader age groups and demographics. By prioritizing ongoing consultation with our stakeholders, Awake Workshops CIC ensures its activities remain responsive, inclusive, and impactful for the communities we serve.
