    Turnover policy

    urnover 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, as follows: Freehold buildings over 50 years Leasehold land and buildings over the lease term Plant and machinery over 5 years Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment over 5 years

Company activities and impact

Project 1 - Slough CVS project - During the financial year, Visual Art Studio CIC successfully delivered an 18-week art therapy programme aimed at supporting 30 young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in Slough. This initiative was made possible through a grant of from Slough Council for Voluntary Services, disbursed in two instalments: 50% at the commencement of the project and the remaining 50% upon its completion. Total of £2,000 (Two thousand pounds only) The programme comprised weekly 2-hour sessions focusing on painting and drawing, providing a structured yet flexible environment where participants could explore their creativity. The primary objectives were to enhance emotional wellbeing, foster self-expression, and reduce feelings of isolation among SEND people. Key achievements of the project include: Participant Engagement: Consistent attendance with positive feedback indicating increased confidence and enjoyment. Community Impact: Strengthened relationships with local families and carers, contributing to a more inclusive community atmosphere. Skill Development: Participants demonstrated improved artistic skills and a greater appreciation for the arts. This project has significantly contributed to our mission of promoting inclusivity and wellbeing through the arts, aligning with broader community development goals. Project 2 – NHS Frimley: Reconnect, Reset and Rebuild Visual Art Studio CIC collaborated with NHS Frimley to deliver a creative engagement project as part of the “Reconnect, Reset and Rebuild” initiative. This programme aimed to gather community insight and feedback through a collaborative artwork that visually reflected people’s lived experiences with healthcare. The project involved a series of participatory art workshops where local residents, families, and individuals from diverse backgrounds contributed to the creation of a large-scale artwork. These sessions were designed to be inclusive, therapeutic, and reflective, encouraging participants to express their feelings and hopes through painting and drawing. Key achievements of the project include: Participant Engagement: Over 75 individuals took part, contributing their personal insights and stories through visual art. Community Impact: The final collaborative artwork served as a platform for community voices and was exhibited at a public event, helping NHS Frimley better understand the needs and concerns of local people. Creative Expression: Participants expressed a sense of empowerment, connection, and pride in being able to contribute meaningfully to a public piece of work. This project was supported through the Frimley Health and Care Community Engagement Fund 2024/2025. More information about this fund can be found at: This initiative effectively supported post-pandemic recovery, strengthened relationships between the NHS and the community, and demonstrated the power of creative practice in public engagement and wellbeing. Total funding was received £500 (Five hundred pounds only)

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders included SEND young people, their parents and carers, Slough Council for Voluntary Services, and the broader local community. Stakeholder consultation took place informally at the start and throughout the project, via discussions with parents and carers, as well as verbal feedback collected after sessions. Participants also provided input during sessions, which was used to adapt the content and structure of future workshops. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with requests for extended or ongoing provision. In response to this feedback, we maintained a flexible, participant-led approach to ensure the sessions remained relevant, supportive, and engaging. We also shared outcomes with stakeholders to maintain transparency and accountability.
