Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 June 2025

  • 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

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. 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. Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Year Ending: 30 June 2025

Company activities and impact

We support children, young people and families who have wellbeing issues as well as those with communication and social difficulties. We run BENS (Bond, Enrich, Nurture, Support) peer support groups for children from 5 years to 18 years of age, who may have Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, low-self esteem, confidence and mental health issues. Through a variety of activities and experiences, they can develop relationships with their peers as well as developing vital communication and interpersonal skills. They can gain support from their peers in a safe, non-judgemental environment. In addition to this, we offer one to one wellbeing coaching appointments to children and young people, taking referrals mainly from statutory services such as schools, social care, NHS etc. This is a solution focused service, using various evidence-based techniques and talking therapies to support resilience and self-help skills. We also support parents by liaising with school and other services as well as mediation sessions with their children to improve communication or help them to understand their child's behaviour.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our service users, both parents and children, are involved in the way we run our sessions and children take an active part in the planning the sessions. We feel that by giving our young people and children control over how our group sessions are run it helps them builds confidence, communication skills, gives them a sense of responsibility and also helps them to negotiate with other people. We liaise and network with other agencies as part of our consultation process so that we are meeting community needs rather than duplicating services. We work in partnership with other agencies and charities to complement our services so we can meet the needs, promote independence and resilience and improve overall self-efficacy of the young people and their parents.
