  • 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 recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT. The value of the consideration take into account loyalty discount. Turnover represents bar and food sale and sports facilities hire.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows: Bar & kitchen equipment: 5 years straight line

    Other accounting policies

    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, except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks. Trade and other creditors Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

THE WYVERN TAUNTON CIC

Company Number: 15680471 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 March 2025

Company activities and impact

The Wyvern Taunton CIC provides a community social space that brings together sport, local groups and an affordable place for people to meet. The CIC manages indoor and outdoor facilities used for year-round sporting activity, including squash, which is operated directly by the CIC, and seasonal sports such as rugby, football and cricket through local clubs who use the sports field and associated areas. The bar and kitchen form an important part of this community offer. They provide a welcoming, accessible environment where people can gather before or after sport, meet friends, or simply enjoy reasonably priced drinks and food in a safe and familiar setting. Pricing is kept intentionally modest to support local residents, particularly during a period of higher living costs, while still ensuring the operation remains sustainable. Alongside sport and hospitality, the CIC hosts a range of community groups and activities throughout the year. These include creative workshops, rehearsals, social groups and supported sessions for adults with additional needs, as well as occasional community events such as family fun days and low-cost social evenings that encourage wider participation. All income generated is reinvested into maintaining and improving the facilities, grounds and equipment. The overall impact includes enabling participation in grassroots sport, offering an inclusive space that helps reduce social isolation, supporting local groups to operate at minimal cost, and providing an affordable social hub for residents of Taunton and the surrounding area. The CIC continues to operate with an asset lock and with the primary objective of delivering lasting community benefit.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s main stakeholders are the sports clubs that use the playing field, the customers who use the bar, kitchen and squash facilities, and the community groups who hire the indoor space for their activities. Several of the volunteer directors live locally and are involved in the day-to-day life of the site, so the development of the CIC has always been shaped by regular conversations with the people who actually use the facilities. Feedback is gathered throughout the year in a mostly informal but consistent way. One of the volunteer directors has a specific focus on customer engagement and regularly speaks with bar and food customers to understand what they value and how the social space is working for them. Staff also pass on comments they receive during normal service. We maintain ongoing dialogue with representatives of the sports clubs about pitch use, scheduling and any issues affecting their players. Community groups share their thoughts about how the space works for their sessions and what might support them better. We also receive ideas and suggestions through social media and email, which add to the broader picture of what people expect from a community hub. This engagement helps us understand what users want the CIC to provide, such as a welcoming social space, accessible hospitality, and well-maintained facilities for sport and group activities. These conversations guide our decisions about events, improvements to the building and grounds, and general priorities for the year ahead. The CIC will continue to consult stakeholders in a practical and proportionate way by encouraging open conversations, staying connected with sports clubs and community groups, and responding to feedback where it supports our community objectives.

Directors' remuneration

The aggregate amount of emoluments paid to or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £3,787.02. In addition, the board wishes to note for transparency that one director received £3,956.26 during the year in respect of her separate employment as bar staff. These payments related solely to bar-staff duties and not to her role as a director, for which she received no remuneration. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for directors’ loss of office, which require disclosure.
