    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 ofa contract cannot be estimated reliably.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are drawn from communities that include prisons, schools, shared space in towns and villages and commercial sites. Our maintenance contracts have generated great feedback, with our clients noting that the grounds have been better looked after, with plants and trees really thriving. This means that wildlife is being conserved and protected on ever increasing amounts of land. This has ensured more habitat havens such as bird boxes, owl boxes, insect hotels and hedgehog boxes are added into the garden designs. Stakeholders enjoy seeing more birds on the feeders or nesting in nest boxes. We have received great feedback from clients enjoying harvesting fresh produce or seeing flowers or fruit trees blossom. The increased financial pressures have meant more people are becoming interested in our community gardens as food growing hubs which incorporate a teaching delivery framework that aims to help combat social isolation and create intergenerational connections. An example would be a primary school connecting with a group of primarily older, retired individuals in some areas . We involve young people, parents and teachers in the design and creation of our gardens in schools. As our Volunteer Coordinator positions continue to expand, more school and community garden spaces are becoming accessible to more people who are clearly benefiting from an increased contact with Nature and each other.
