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, 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: Plant and machinery - 20% reducing balance

    Other accounting policies

    Stocks Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. Debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Creditors Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. Taxation A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Pensions Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.

Company activities and impact

Neighbourworks CIC is a business that supports people to learn new skills, make new friends and contribute to their community through traditional wool crafts. We run three projects; 1. The Knit Stop, 2. The Knit Stop for Kids and 3. Wool on the Exe, our retail community fibre arts space. Our social knitting/crafting sessions offer a time to be creative and connect with others which in turn contributes to an improvement in overall well-being. We also support numerous efforts to raise funds for our local food bank. Through donations of socks and stitch markers, an online auction and a volunteer who helps others with their projects, we raised £3350 in 2024. We also created an opportunity for community members to knit/crochet garments for 70 young people who were leaving the care system to live on their own. We collected 53 hats, 14 shawls, and 12 scarves, 21 pairs of mittens, 3 head bands, 30 pairs of socks and 8 snoods / cowls as gifts. These items were given at a council- run Christmas dinner. In addition to this, our charity basket of donated yarn turned into 463 items of clothing/accessories for local charities St Petrock’s, Knit for Peace, the Baby Hub and Cranbrook Community Hub. We also received 76 handmade blankets for patients on the dementia ward at the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital to help them identify their beds and feel more at home. Our outreach coordinator conducted 5, 8-week Knit Stop groups for a total of 30 adults taking part. End of group surveys overwhelmingly confirm that learning new skills, making new friends and knitting together improves overall well-being. Knit Stop for Kids recorded 94 sessions at 2 local schools with an average of 10-12 students in attendance. Our outreach coordinator also connected with local libraries to offer pom-pom activities for children during the summer school break. 21 children took part. At Wool on the Exe, we host a very popular community drop-in group on that averages 12-15 participants each week. We work hard to provide a safe, welcoming and creative space for the members of our community in St Thomas and wider Exeter.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are 1. our board of directors, 2. our members, 3. participants in our programmes & groups and our customers. We hold quarterly board of directors’ meetings to ensure strategic and financial stability. We also occasionally survey members to gain informal input. In addition, we are always listening to the participants in our programmes & groups for ideas and opportunities for collaboration. Daily interactions in the shop and on our social media channels ensure that we’re listening to the needs of our community.
