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. 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

Crane Creatives Coast CIC continues to champion and support Eastern European (EE) artists and communities in Leicester and beyond. Building on the strong foundation of outreach, partnerships, and cultural programming established in our first year, we have significantly expanded our activities and secured multiple funding streams to deliver high-impact community projects. Highlights from this year include: Beats & Bites: Successfully delivered with over 90 unique attendees, bringing families together through EE-rooted music, food, and storytelling. Community Fridge HUBB: Secured funding and launched a weekly service supporting around 15 local residents, reducing isolation while creating opportunities for shared conversations and cultural exchange. RootLoom Project: Delivered across 6 days in summer, engaging 50–100 participants per day through immersive theatrical experiences and visual arts activities in Leicester Libraries. The project will continue through Autumn and Winter 2025, expanding to provide further creative activities and sustained engagement for EE artists and local communities. Folk Crafts & Rhythms: Secured Heritage Lottery funding for a programme beginning October 2025, designed to preserve and celebrate EE folk traditions, crafts, and music with broad community participation. Take It Outside: A day-long event for community fridge users and their families, offering storytelling, reading, and creative craft-making in outdoor spaces, promoting wellbeing and intergenerational connection. Move & Groove: Secured Sport England funding for a physical activity and dance programme launching in Autumn 2025, engaging EE families and the wider community in movement and cultural expression. Through these initiatives, Crane Creatives Coast CIC is strengthening its role as a creative hub, delivering practical community support while promoting cultural heritage, wellbeing, and artistic expression. Our projects continue to demonstrate impact by reducing social isolation, fostering intercultural understanding, and creating inclusive spaces for EE artists and families to thrive.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders remain central to shaping our activities. They include: Eastern European artists and creatives, seeking development, visibility, and collaboration. Families and individuals using the community fridge, many of whom are economically disadvantaged and benefit from cultural and wellbeing activities. Leicester Libraries and Museums, co-delivering cultural, educational, and artistic projects. Local schools, community groups, and wider public audiences, engaging with EE heritage, music, arts, and wellbeing initiatives. This year, consultation has taken the form of: Feedback from Beats & Bites participants, which highlighted a desire for more regular events blending culture, food, and music. Discussions with community fridge users, identifying a need for family-friendly cultural days (leading to the Take It Outside initiative). Workshops and conversations with artists, guiding the development of RootLoom and shaping the design of the upcoming Folk Crafts & Rhythms project. Ongoing partnership meetings with libraries and museums, ensuring activities are co-created and embedded in trusted public venues. As a result of these consultations, Crane Creatives Coast CIC has tailored its programming to balance practical community needs (e.g. access to food, wellbeing support) with cultural enrichment (arts, heritage, creative learning). Stakeholder voices continue to drive our approach, ensuring our projects remain responsive, inclusive, and sustainable.
