Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 June 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 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 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 - 20% 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 and deferred tax are recognised in surplus or deficit for the period, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Company activities and impact

Slings & Support Wirral CIC runs Wirral Sling Library, which supports families of babies and toddlers in the local area with babywearing. The Sling Library has run 27 small group sessions, 2 workshops for parents to be, and one to one sessions for those with more complex needs. We have supported around 190 families through this. Families who babywear have reported that babywearing has improved their mental health, helped them to bond with their baby, and helped them to get out and about within their community. Secure babies become secure toddlers, and children, with both short term and long benefits for them and their community. As well as providing babywearing support, we provide general support and signposting to other services as appropriate eg for feeding or mental health support. During the year we have supported 12 families with free of charge long term loans of slings, wrap and carriers where they faced financial barriers. “Thank you so much, what an amazing session, it truly gave me lots of confidence” – service user, 2nd time parent of 5 week old with reflux. “We use the sling daily, and I’m super thankful to the sling library for making life that much easier and for the sharing knowledge around safe babywearing. Thank you” – service user, 2nd time parent of 15 month old with epilipesy

Consultation with stakeholders

Our main stakeholders are our sling library customers. We had 73 responses to an anonymous survey– a summary of that report is available upon request. As a result of this survey, we have added more opportunities for one-to-one sessions as many people tell us they are anxious in group. We are also publicising our Community scheme, which allows for free advice and hire, more. The parents we support tend to be older, and we are seeking to form links with those supporting younger parents to support babywearing in these families. Other stakeholders include our funders and donors all of whom we maintain regular communications with either through social media or more official lines related to grants.
