ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparing the financial statements These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Turnover Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Taxation Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. Hire purchase and leasing commitments Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Reducing Stigma: By normalising the idea of therapy and providing a safe, non-judgmental space, Counselling for Life encourages more people in the community to seek support when needed. 5. Improving Productivity: When individuals receive counselling for issues such as work-related stress or burnout, they are more likely to become more productive and engaged community members. This can have a positive impact on the local economy and overall quality of life. 6. Education and Awareness: We provide educational resources and workshops to raise awareness about mental health and emotional well-being. By disseminating information and knowledge, we help empower the community to take proactive steps in managing their mental health. 7. Prevention and Early Intervention: Counselling services can play a vital role in pre-venting more severe mental health issues. Early intervention can address issues be-fore they escalate, potentially saving individuals and the community from more significant emotional and financial costs. 8. Reducing Healthcare Costs: By addressing mental health issues early, organizations like Counselling for Life CIC can help reduce the strain on healthcare services, which can lead to cost savings for both individuals and the community as a whole.
