Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 August 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.

    Valuation information and policy

    Creditors - Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation - A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Company activities and impact

Edible Landscapes London CIC (ELL) is a community-led forest gardening and education project based in Finsbury Park. We promote sustainable food growing, biodiversity and community wellbeing through hands-on learning and volunteering opportunities. During the financial year, ELL delivered over 90 volunteer gardening sessions (Tuesdays and Sundays), 50 Forest Explorer sessions for parents and toddlers, and 18 free or low-cost workshops on forest gardening, pruning, propagation and sustainable living. Over 100 community meals were shared, 200 plants donated to local projects, and 150 trees and hedges planted in Finsbury Park to improve biodiversity. We supported adults with special educational needs (SEN) through partnerships with John Dewey, Beyond Autism and East London Community Trust, and hosted the SETH (Supporting Education Through Horticulture) project in partnership with Urban Forest Collective, providing structured placements for young adults with autism to develop horticultural and teamwork skills. Our work with schools and families included the Wild City project with the Salters Institute and several London schools, introducing children from deprived areas to food growing and nature connection. ELL continues to benefit the community by offering an inclusive, calming and educational green space for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn, socialise and contribute to urban regeneration and individual and collective wellbeing.

Consultation with stakeholders

ELL’s stakeholders include volunteers, local residents, schools, families, community groups, partner organisations, and funders. Stakeholder feedback is gathered through volunteer discussions, debriefs after sessions, workshop evaluations and ongoing communication with partners. This year, volunteers asked for clearer seasonal plans and opportunities to take on more responsibility. In response, we introduced Seasonal Action Plans and a Session Leader Training programme to build volunteer confidence and leadership. Families attending Forest Explorer sessions requested more creative nature-based play, which we incorporated into the programme. Partner consultations also led to expanding our collaboration with local schools and other community gardens. We maintain open dialogue with funders and partners, ensuring ELL’s activities continue to meet community needs while supporting inclusion, wellbeing and environmental sustainability.

Directors' remuneration

The Directors receive no remuneration in return for their services as officers of the Company. During the year, remuneration of £9,215 was paid to 7 directors in total for project delivery work (2024 £18,448 and 8 directors).

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
