## 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 comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. The company recognises revenue when: The amount of revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

  Other accounting policies

  Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

Community Scrap Shack continues to divert tonnes of redundant reusable materials from landfill back into re-use for the benefit of the local community whilst at the same time protecting the environment. It is estimated that within years every landfill site in the UK will be full, so the work we do is vital to the well-being of not only our local environment but also to the future of the planet as a whole. Continuing on from the difficulties of the previous year, we were faced by further unforeseen challenges this financial year. Following many months of restricted abilities the assistant manager and company director Tracey Roden left on long-term sickness. Due to the impact of losing a key member of the team, we were yet again faced with limited capacity to progress with any improvements or planned business developments. The reduced and over- stretched staff and volunteers focussed again on maintaining the day to day management of the business only. When possible we were able to participate in a multi swap at Gloucester Resource Centre in March, which brought in much needed new resources to maintain the interest of our customers. We also reviewed the feasibility of our pricing structure and made dramatic cuts in the pricing of stagnant stock. This proved to be beneficial and has increased income and customer support. We were fortunate to have a few new volunteers join us this year. One of which took on the organisation and management of the Community RePaint side of the business. This has supported us immensely and dramatically increased paint sales. We hosted a BBQ in August as a thankyou to all our volunteers and their partners who supported us throughout the year. Following the previously successful fabric sale, we held another sale day in September, which again was very successful and brought in a much needed boost in income. We accessed some free Marketing courses throughout the year, which helped us to gain a better knowledge and understanding of strategies and tools available to increase awareness of our scheme. We began to implement changes to our social media presence and delegated content posting to a team of volunteers, which has proven very successful. In November 2024 we had an unannounced visit from the local Fire Officer. There had been a complaint made regarding the lack of fire detection and fighting equipment and clear fire escape access in the event of a fire. Although the officer was satisfied we did have sufficient and regularly maintained extinguishers, she did advise on a change in requirements and suggested additional smoke detectors and fire call points. She was happy for the business to remain open, on the understanding that these measures were addressed immediately and we reduced the length of accessible retail space to 18mtrs until a second fire exit was re-installed. She also recommended we have a Fire Safety Inspection Report completed which would then set the minimum requirements for future reports to be completed by ourselves. An independent assessor visited in November 2024 an recommended a full re-organisation of our retail space, alongside the previous Fire Officers recommendation. It was decided to close early December, to enable us to fully addr.ess the issues and as of January we remain closed. It is anticipated that we will reopen in February, with improved accessibility and a fully working fire safety system. Sadly the closure impacted on our financial stability but we are hopeful that the improvements will eventually be beneficial to the business as a whole.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders continue to include all users of the Scrap store and our volunteers with feedback taken directly and through our media sites. Consultation continues to include the organisations and agencies accessing our facilities and workability placements, working with vulnerable adults and those requiring additional support to regain workplace experiences. We continue to work with local schools and colleges, VAST and Regent College and Abbey Hill Special Needs School. Due to the additional help from a new volunteer our Community RePaint Scheme has grown and continues to support individuals and organisations on limited budgets and the increased range of available paints has increased sales, supporting groups , individuals and community artists to access affordable resources, Our volunteers still contribute daily and input into directing the planning of services and the resources and products we have available.
