Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 July 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

    Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, usually when goods are delivered and legal title has passed. Providing 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 transition can be measured reliably.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment is used in the company's principal activity for the production and supply of goods or for administrative purposes and is stated in the balance sheet under the historic cost model. This model requires the assets to be stated at cost less amounts in respect of depreciation and less any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value (which is the expected amount that would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life), over the useful economic life of the respective asset as follows: Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment - over 4 years

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The assets are reviewed for impairment if the above factors indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Amortisation is included in 'administrative expenses' in the profit and loss account.

    Other accounting policies

    Statutory information: The company is a private company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. Employee benefits: Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for the employee's services to the company. Where employees have accrued short-term benefits which the entity has not paid by the balance sheet date, an accrual is recognised within creditors: amounts falling due within one year together with an associated expense in profit or loss. The liabilities are classified as current obligations in the statement of financial position because they are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period. Defined contribution pension plan: The company operates a defined contribution pension plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are recognised as expenses as they become payable. Differences between contributions payable in the year and those actually paid are recognised as either prepayments or accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the defined contribution pension scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Foreign currency translation: Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.

COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

THE WOMEN'S WORK LAB C.I.C.

Company Number: 11860694 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 July 2025

Company activities and impact

We support economically inactive mothers to re-engage with employment, with the aim to find work that works for them and their families. We do this via 12-months of support that’s made up of an intense, 3-months in-person training programme that combines face-to-face coaching, with a volunteer work placement. This is followed up by 9-months of group and individual career coaching. In this shorter financial year, we supported 110 women on their journeys back towards work, running programmes in Bristol, Bath, South Gloucestershire and Somerset. For our previous full year of reporting on impact, on average 72% of Mums were either back in employment, formal training (working towards an accredited qualification) or work-related volunteering within 6 months of graduating from the first part of our programme. Background to this year’s accounts: To better reflect our statutory contract timeframes, we have made the decision to change our Year End from 31st December to 31st July - this ties in with academic years. As such we have created a shorter ‘year’ to run from 1st January 2025 - 31st July 2025. Review of year to date: Given that all of our programme delivery takes place in term time, the first half of the year is always heavy in terms of expenditure, as two thirds of our output occurs in a 6.5 month period. As such, it’s not unexpected for us to finish in a net loss at this mid-point of the year. The Directors have an established rhythm with quarterly management accounts, which show that in Q3 we would return to a healthy and modest profit position, had the previous financial year continued.

Consultation with stakeholders

When considering stakeholders, we are primarily referring to: - Our Mums (or participants) - Our employer partners - Our funders Throughout our programme, the Mums are frequently consulted on: the course content, their experience and suggested improvements. We also have a more formal ‘Mums Advisory Group’ (MAGS) who act as the main voice of the mums, with a quarterly session to formally share feedback. Our employer partners are also consulted frequently - weekly when they have Mums on placement but also bi-annually via more formal feedback sessions. We maintain great relationships with all of our funders - with formal quarterly reviews with our contracted partners, through to annual impact reports for grand funders.

Directors' remuneration

As included in the Profit & Loss, the two Co-Founders & Joint CEOs were paid via PAYE £42,143 for the period - this was paid equally as £21,071.50 per person. The remaining Director who is employed as Operations Director was paid via PAYE £22,855 and included in Salaries of Delivery Team within the Accounts.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
