  • 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.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life.

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses.

Company activities and impact

Tales to Inspire is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) that has, over the past year, undergone significant strategic development. We have refined our processes, pivoted our business model, and launched an enhanced approach to supporting our ambassadors and wider community. Central to our evolution has been the development of a new Theory of Change. This model focuses on empowering individuals from underrepresented communities by sharing their lived experiences. We begin by amplifying their stories through our platforms, offering them a voice and a stage. We then provide tailored training and mentorship, enabling them to deliver impactful work within schools, workplaces, and communities, through keynote talks, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking panel discussions. Crucially, we ensure they are fairly paid for their contributions as role models and changemakers. Our mission is to drive lasting cultural transformation through the power of lived experience. This year, our impact has grown significantly: Our stories have reached a global audience, with our blog being read in 115 countries and our podcast garnering over 20,000 listens worldwide. We delivered school programmes to 560 young people, focusing on emotional wellbeing, raising aspirations, and building confidence. One of our flagship achievements was producing a This is Us book, co-created with 30 students to showcase their unique journeys. We supported 1,172 adults through employability programmes, workplace culture interventions, and initiatives addressing societal challenges. Our work has also contributed to the local economy by creating job opportunities within the education and wellbeing sectors. Tales to Inspire continues to grow as a movement, empowering individuals, transforming systems, and inspiring collective change through real stories and real action.
