Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 August 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 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.

    Valuation information and policy

    Creditors - Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation - A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Company activities and impact

Edible Landscapes London is a community forest garden based in Finsury Park. We run twice weekly sessions teaching the local community how to grow and care for edible and medicinal plants, including propagating plants to give away to community projects, composting and caring for a garden according to permaculture principles. We run free workshops including pruning fruit trees, carpentry, using plants for dye and family day workshops. We host schools for site visits after school clubs and run a weekly Forest Explorers drop in for parents and toddlers. We do nature monitoring of our wild area at the back of the site. Our activities have provided a space for people with mental ill health, learning disabilities and those who may not have access to green space, supporting connection and building knowledge of forest garden principles

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are visitors and locals, schools, Haringey Council and other park stakeholders. We have feedback forms for our visitors and locals, and adapt to what our users say they want and need. Our long-term volunteers can become members of the garden and can input into decision making at our Director’s meetings.

Directors' remuneration

The directors receive no remuneration in return for their services as officers of the Company. During the year, remuneration of £18,448 was paid to 8 directors in total for project delivery work.

Transfer of assets
