  • 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 comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. The company recognises revenue when: The amount of revenue can be reliably measured; It is probably the future economic benefits will flow to the entity; And specific criteria have been met for each of the company’s activities.

    Other accounting policies

    Tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the country operates and generates taxable income. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Stocks Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Trade creditors Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company dies not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

Carving Community is a Community Interest Company that specialises in engaging with young people, their families and the community they live in. We take as our starting point, the belief that through building meaningful relationships using creativity and imagination, young people can transform their lives and develop a personal sense of authority. We maintain that each young person has their own unique gifts and qualities and it is through our professional engagement that we can reflect back to the individual what we have witnessed and support and encourage them to pursue those talents. Our work embraces destructive and complex behaviours expressed by young people and encourages them to incorporate their feelings into a creative process rather than being harmful to themselves, others or their environments. Our work centres on the practical use of hand tools such as axes, blades, draw knives, mauls and spades. We provide a safe outdoor environment in which our experienced team can work with and accommodate young people’s needs. Previous work has shown that creative work with tools can help to redirect negative, destructive behaviours and create positive outcome for the wider community. In 2024 we have continued to pause on direct projects, in order to apply for larger funding pots both to support the development of an accessible community workshop in Mid Devon and accompanying city/town/village outreach projects across the South West using our mobile toolbox. The mobile toolbox enables us to offer projects in the heart of young people’s communities where creativity, conflict, challenge & the opportunity for new connections co-exist side by side. We aim to commence our new offer in Autumn 2025 and are in discussions with local housing associations to develop projects. We would like to thank our previous and current funders, partners, facilitators, young assis-tants, volunteers and community makers for their support, willingness, good will and generos-ity of spirit. Carving Community CIC continues to believe that it is more important than ever to celebrate and cherish diversity and to create opportunities to dialogue with hands and hearts through our differences. Please see our Facebook page for references to our most recent projects www.facebook.com/carvingcommunity

Consultation with stakeholders

Funding proposals include feasibility studies and focus groups across our partners, with young people, families, local creatives, and wider communities to ensure our offer fits their needs. The Inside/Outside Project will be evaluated by an external evaluator.
