Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 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 for goods supplied, net of discounts and Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of the goods; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.

    Other accounting policies

    CURRENT TAX Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. TANGIBLE ASSETS Tangible assets are initially measured at cost, and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses or at a revalued amount. Any tangible assets carried at a revalued amount are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and reserves. However, the increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves. If a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess is recognised in profit or loss. IMPAIRMENT A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. GOVERNMENT GRANTS Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model. Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable. Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price and are subsequently measured as follows: Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost and commitments to receive a loan and to make a loan to another entity are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. All other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, which is normally the transaction price and are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. All equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets or either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. DEFERRED TAX Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that would apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted at the statement of financial position date. PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event; it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised in finance costs in profit or loss in the period it arises.

Year Ending: 31 December 2024

Company activities and impact

During this financial year, our CIC delivered a wide-ranging and impactful programme of menopause-focused activities, including awareness workshops, individual coaching, digital content creation, and organisational training. Our work aimed to address the emotional, psychological, and physical challenges associated with menopause by equipping individuals and organisations with the knowledge, tools, and compassion to create healthier, more inclusive environments. A significant and unexpected outcome this year was our expanded partnership with Healthwatch Cumbria. Together, we began to develop a series of short, accessible video resources promoting menopause-friendly lifestyle choices such as healthy eating, movement, and self-care. These videos were shared widely across social media platforms, achieving over 883 views and significantly broadening our reach beyond in-person attendees. The digital format enabled us to provide valuable, on-demand resources to women, families, and workplaces across the region. The overall impact of our activities has been transformative. Our sessions not only improved personal well-being but also influenced workplace practices and sparked crucial conversations about menopause. Highlights of our impact include: Cumberland Fire Service began considering menopause-specific needs in their operational planning, particularly relevant for active firefighters now experiencing menopausal symptoms for the first time in their workforce. Mind began integrating menstrual and hormonal health into their assessment and care plans, acknowledging the link between menopause and mental health. Individual stories highlighted powerful personal transformations: Gabby overcame grief and enhanced her well-being through exercise and self-care. Sarah, experiencing menopause-related ADHD symptoms, sought and received workplace support. Emma, an NHS professional, regained confidence and pursued further training after feeling lost in her role. Our sessions created space for honest dialogue, encouraged proactive self-care, and inspired empathy and support in workplaces and families. One particularly moving example came from a woman whose partner attended our session: it led to the first open conversation about her menopause experience in years, lifting a weight from her shoulders and improving their relationship. This year’s work has strengthened our belief in the long-term value of our model. By combining education, compassion, and empowerment, we are supporting a cultural shift in how menopause is understood and supported across communities.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders include: Women and individuals experiencing perimenopause and menopause Family members and partners Employers, HR professionals, and workplace managers Health and wellbeing organisations Community partners such as Healthwatch Cumbria Funders and supporters Wider community members engaged through social media and events How were stakeholders consulted? Stakeholder engagement and consultation took several forms: Session Feedback: After each workshop or event, participants were invited to share reflections through both real-time feedback forms and follow-up surveys. Qualitative Testimonials: Many participants provided personal stories detailing how the sessions impacted their lives. Partner Dialogue: We maintained regular contact with workplace partners and health organisations to discuss needs, priorities, and improvements. Community Interaction: We monitored social media engagement on our videos and posts, which provided insight into reach and resonance with wider audiences. How did we respond to feedback? In response to consultation and feedback: We diversified our feedback collection methods and formats to make them more accessible and engaging. We acted on requests for more digital resources, leading to the production of our video series with Healthwatch Cumbria. Stakeholder feedback identified a need for partner-focused resources, so we are now planning to develop specific materials to support the loved ones of those experiencing menopause. Due to high demand, we committed to offering priority access to future sessions for those who were unable to attend. We extended our session delivery timeline to accommodate end-of-year scheduling challenges and ensure access. We made efforts to increase the visibility of our resources by sharing toolkits and videos with community organisations and workplace wellbeing leads. These consultations and the actions we took demonstrate our commitment to being a responsive, listening organisation. We continually adapt to meet the evolving needs of our community, ensuring that our services remain impactful, inclusive, and driven by those we serve.
