Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 April 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. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation 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 the surplus as reported in the income and expenditure account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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 end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in the income and expenditure account, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Trade and other debtors Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Trade and other creditors Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

Our Social Enterprise In the financial year ending April 2025, Imaginarium Creations CIC continued to expand its reach and deepen its impact within local communities across Leicestershire, while also broadening our engagement across the wider Midlands. Building on the foundations of the previous year, we delivered a range of inclusive, culturally relevant, and community-centred initiatives, with a strong emphasis on literacy, wellbeing, and creative engagement. We extended our impact beyond our core programs by launching a new series of monthly Family Fun Days at Brocks Hill Country Park, in partnership with Everyone Active and funded by Oadby and Wigston Borough Council. These sessions, which ran from May to October 2024, combined storytelling, creative workshops, and family games to encourage intergenerational participation and foster community cohesion. Over 700 individuals took part, many of whom were attending community-led activities for the first time. Our previous programs, including the Braunstone Town Library Back-to-School event, monthly craft workshops, and Word Warriors Debating and Book Club, formed the foundation for this expansion. These literacy and wellbeing initiatives not only enriched our participants learning experiences but also provided valuable insights into how library spaces can be made more accessible, inclusive, and inspiring. With support from Sport England, we also delivered the “Moving in Library Spaces, project 'Pulse Path workshops' across various locations. This innovative program enabled us to promote physical activity in non-traditional settings and connect with underserved communities through local libraries. Specific outreach efforts were made in. Belgrave (LE4 6JD): Engaging adults and elderly individuals from socio-economically deprived areas, with over 95 per cent of participants from Asian backgrounds. St Matthews (LE1 2PD): Supporting a women’s group, primarily from the Somali community, where per cent speak English as a second language. Braunstone Town: Reaching elderly residents, 80 per cent of whom are aged 75 plus, many living in social isolation. Blaby: Working with adults living with disabilities and long-term health conditions. These sessions revealed the untapped potential of libraries as spaces not only for learning but also for physical health, connection, and inclusion. Community feedback and positive responses have further encouraged us to reimagine these public spaces as hubs for broader social good. Importantly, our work at Brocks Hill and through our library-based programs has also laid the groundwork for our next major milestone: planning our first Children’s Book Festival, in collaboration with the Children’s House Museum. This marks a significant step in our development as an organisation and underscores our long-term commitment to promoting literacy and cultural inclusion across generations. Through these continued activities, Imaginarium Creations CIC remains dedicated to fostering creative expression, community wellbeing, and inclusive learning opportunities, particularly for those most marginalised in our society. Our projects are designed not only to serve but also to empower communities to shape the spaces and narratives that reflect and uplift them.

Consultation with stakeholders

Imaginarium Creations CIC engages with a broad and evolving network of stakeholders to ensure that our programmes are responsive, inclusive, and reflective of community needs. Our primary stakeholders include: Library staff and coordinators across Leicester and Leicestershire Community members and participants who attend our workshops and events in library and outdoor community settings Children’s House Museum, with whom we are co-developing our first Children’s Book Festival Inpress Books, a key partner supporting the festival through access to independent publishers and networks Local volunteers and families, who help shape and support our activities We conduct regular informal and formal consultations with these stakeholders throughout the planning, delivery, and evaluation stages of our projects. Consultation methods include: Ongoing dialogue with library teams to assess space usage, community engagement strategies, and barriers to access. This ensures that our library-based sessions are aligned with local goals and effectively use these vital public resources. Participant feedback, gathered through conversations during and after workshops, as well as informal feedback forms -particularly during Family Fun Days and Pulse Path sessions. Planning meetings and workshops with the Children’s House Museum and Inpress Books to shape the scope and cultural relevance of the upcoming Children’s Book Festival. Community outreach in the Burton area, where we consulted with 63 families to explore barriers to accessing cultural learning. We delivered pilot workshops combining books and music (at Coopers Square Shopping Centre), helping us better understand the types of activities that resonate with local families. Engagement with volunteers and community representatives to gain grassroots insight and respond to emerging needs, especially among marginalised or isolated groups. As a result of stakeholder feedback, we have: Refined our workshop content and delivery methods to reflect the linguistic and cultural diversity of participants, particularly in areas like St Matthews, Belgrave and Burton on Trent. Prioritised accessible scheduling and inclusive formats, enabling more isolated or elderly community members to attend events comfortably. Integrated physical activity and creative arts more cohesively, thanks to feedback indicating that multi-sensory, family-oriented activities were especially impactful. Expanded the vision for the Children’s Book Festival, incorporating insights from independent publishers and parents to include not just book readings but also music, hands-on creative sessions, performances, and culturally diverse representation in both books and facilitators. Through these ongoing consultations, Imaginarium Creations CIC has continued to build responsive, community-rooted programming that evolves with the needs and aspirations of those we serve.our programs. By continuously engaging with our stakeholders, Imaginarium Creations CIC ensures that our services remain relevant, effective, and aligned with the needs and aspirations of the communities we serve
