Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 March 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

    All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the CIC is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the CIC, are recognised when the CIC becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Donated services or facilities are recognised as income when the CIC has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the CIC of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the CIC which is the amount the CIC would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Incoming resources from CIC trading activity are accounted for when earned. Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the CIC earns the right to consideration by its performance. Debtors are included to represent amounts recognised as outstanding to the CIC at the year-end date.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    All fixed assets are capitalised at cost, where considered appropriate to capitalise. Those purchased by specific gifts and grants are written off fully in the year of gift. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: Office Equipment 25 % on cost A full year of depreciation cost is taken in the first year of acquiring the asset.

    Other accounting policies

    Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates: Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting income and donations. CIC expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the CIC in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Governance & support costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the CIC and include the Independent Examination fees (when applicable) and costs linked to the strategic management of the CIC. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Support Costs – Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the CIC but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the CIC. Unrestricted Funds Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the CIC without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. Designated funds Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the management for particular purposes. There are currently no designated funds. Restricted Funds Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor and are subjected to restrictions of their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. There are currently no restricted funds. Reserves Policy At this stage of the CIC’s development, the directors have decided that no reserves are required but this is to be kept under review annually or reviewed at the time of taking on any paid employees. Debtors Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount owed to the CIC or prepaid. Creditors Creditors and provisions are recognised where the CIC has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party, and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount. Financial Instruments The CIC has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Donated Services, Good and Facilities Donated services or facilities are recognised as income when the CIC has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the CIC of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the CIC which is the amount the CIC would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Judgement and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty The preparation of accounts using generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the accounts and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The key estimates and assumptions used in the Financial Statements are detailed in these notes and in the accounting policies.

Company activities and impact

During the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, Action4Families CIC delivered a range of educational and therapeutic services to children and families. Over this reporting year, a total of 45 hours of online tuition was provided to primary school-aged children. This provision was designed to supplement school learning and support educational attainment. Mrs. Joanne Baillie successfully completed her Play Therapy Diploma, enabling her to work therapeutically with groups of children as well as providing one-to-one interventions for children with more complex needs. During the year, she worked across three schools, delivering a total of 305 therapeutic play sessions. In addition, Mrs. Baillie undertook Filial Play Therapy training, which equips her to work directly with parents, teaching them core principles to strengthen parent–child relationships through play. She also completed an Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy course beginning in Autumn/Winter 2024, enhancing the quality and depth of play therapy services offered by the CIC. The Directors approved further investment in Mrs. Baillie’s professional development. She has been undertaking additional training in counselling and therapeutic work with children and young people up to the age of 18. This investment aligns closely with the CIC’s strategic aim to expand its capacity to support children and young people experiencing more significant social, emotional, and educational challenges. Mrs. Baillie, who is also a Director of Action4Families CIC, received remuneration for a proportion of her professional services during the year and additionally donated a portion of her time on a voluntary basis. In support of her role, Action4Families CIC met the costs of her professional training, clinical supervision, travel, and other work-related expenses.

Consultation with stakeholders

The beneficiaries of the CIC are the children who receive play therapy or tuition, together with their families and the wider school communities in which they live and learn. The provision of play therapy is structured and child-centred, beginning with an initial assessment and consultation to identify the child’s needs and establish appropriate therapeutic goals. This is followed by a programme of regular play therapy sessions, with review meetings held at suitable intervals with parents or carers and, where appropriate, with the children themselves. These review sessions provide opportunities to reflect on progress, agree next steps, and ensure that the therapeutic intervention remains responsive to the child’s emotional, social, and developmental needs. Play therapy provision also includes written feedback and formal reporting, alongside ongoing liaison and professional dialogue with relevant school staff, including class teachers, special educational needs staff, and head teachers. This collaborative approach supports consistency across home and school environments and helps to maximise positive outcomes for the children involved.

Directors' remuneration

Mrs. Joanne Baillie received remuneration totalling £5,286 for her work as a play therapist and as a tutor for primary school children. She also donated 174 hours of this work to the CIC. No Directors were paid for their work as directors of the CIC.

Transfer of assets
