Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 January 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

    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: 25% reducing balance

    Other accounting policies

    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.

Company activities and impact

Growing for Good CIC trades as ‘The Glasshouse’ and is a Social Enterprise offering employment and horticultural training to women with lived prison experience. To date our re-offending rate of those women who have been through our programme is 0%. Our team grows and nurtures beautiful, resilient indoor plants, which are sold directly through our website and our retail shop located in Cranbrook, as well as our bespoke corporate gifting service and plant scaping for offices, hospitality and retail in Central London. We employ women directly from HMP East Sutton Park prison for women in Kent. Our placements care for, grow and propagate house plants and work in our retail shop in Cranbrook. Upon release, we offer help with job placement and housing, in order to give every woman leaving prison the best chance of success post-release. Our project is based around the proven physical and emotional benefits that being close to nature provides. Our corporate work in London provides employment for women post-release from prison as they work as plant technicians for the offices where are plants are installed. Any profit made from this corporate work is re-invested into the business to provide the employment and horticultural training programme to the women on day-release from prison.

Consultation with stakeholders

The main stakeholders of the business include women that work us – both those from HMP East Sutton Park and those who are post release working in our plant maintenance and installation business. Our corporate contracts are with London clients who employ us for our plant maintenance and installation services. Our London Clients are stakeholders as they have our plants installed and our plant technicians working in their offices. Our local stakeholders support the High Street Shop in Cranbrook and then we have a wider client base who buy plants online. These stakeholders have not been consulted during the period under review. Our shareholders are members of The Board and our consulted formally every quarter.
