(c) Revenue recognition Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered, and title has passed. (d) Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over their expected useful lives as follows: - Plant and machinery: 25% straight line (e) Government grant Government grants are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. (f) Tax Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred Tax Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statement of comprehensive income, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. 4 (g) Limited by Guarantee The company has no issued equity. The company is limited by guarantee. The directors' liability is limited to £1 each. (h) Employees Number: 0. The company is managed by a team of experienced and committed members and volunteers who contribute their time and expertise to its operations.

Company activities and impact

The company provides arts and craft provisions for the local and global community. Our aim is to enable people to connect with nature through the arts to raise awareness for ecology, conservation and sustainable behaviour, improve community cohesion and increase wellbeing in communities. We provide free and low cost, inclusive arts engagement, offering arts and craft education and opportunities for all, especially children, young people and those with disabilties. To ensure that the arts are accessible for all at a fair price, and to reduce barriers to participation. During the 2024-2025 financial year, Insecta Collective hosted a range of nature and climate themed arts workshops and events, including: An international open call exhibition run in a hybrid online/offline format, with a venue in Highcross Shopping Centre in Leicester city centre, organised in collaboration with Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust and Leicester College. This exhibition displayed over 200 climate concern postcards made by children, and entered into our (free to enter) Postcard Competition, and Earth themed artworks from children and adults from around the world. A raffle raised over £50 for the Wildlife Trust, and our workshops allowed visitors to explore making sculptures from egg boxes, using seeds and pulses to make mosaics, and painting on fabric with natural dyes. Leicester College students gained valuable work experience by co-curating the exhibition, the window displays and exhibition aesthetic, entering and exhibiting their own artwork in the exhibition, and manning the gallery. Other free and low cost community workshop activities included a natural rattles making workshop for children at Melton Space CIC in Melton Mowbray and a Henri Matisse inspired group nature collage for children that are home educated in Leicester.

Consultation with stakeholders

Feedback is collected from the community participants we work with, during and after each workshop or event, through written/tick box surveys and verbal feedback. Participants have frequently said they enjoy the workshops & events, and want to attend future events. There was indication that some participants leave events feeling more connected to specific elements of nature or being more informed about ecology topics. Specific ideas for future workshops have been noted. Verbal feedback from Leicester College staff, and Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust was that our exhibition and event was beneficial to their own organisations aims and objectives. The mutual partnership benefits were noted, as potential future partnership opportunities.
