Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

  • 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, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: Property - Not provided Equipment 20% - reducing balance

    Valuation information and policy

    Work in progress Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

    Other accounting policies

    Debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Creditors Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. Taxation A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Provisions Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Company activities and impact

Media Savvy CIC is a multi-award-winning social enterprise established in 2010. The organisation specialises in a “learning by stealth” approach, using digital arts and media, alongside health, nutrition, and wellbeing, to engage individuals who may face barriers to traditional education and employment pathways. We work primarily with underserved communities, creating inclusive, creative opportunities that build confidence, skills, and social connection while improving overall wellbeing. Vision A society where every individual feels valued, has access to suitable education, and the opportunity to realise their full potential. Mission To unite and empower our community through creativity, innovation, and inclusive learning experiences. Values Inclusion and accessibility Creativity as a tool for empowerment Community-led solutions Integrity, transparency, and collaboration Review of Activities and Achievements (2023–2024) In late summer 2022, Media Savvy CIC launched a hospitality venture, Diego’s Joint (DJ), as a trading arm of the organisation. This initiative was designed to generate unrestricted income while providing informal learning and employment opportunities aligned with our social mission. Diego’s Joint operated as part of Media Savvy CIC until December 2023, in line with the original business plan. All ambitions and objectives outlined in the previous year’s report were achieved with the exception of the employability programme, which has taken longer than anticipated to design and secure sustainable funding. Planning for this programme remains ongoing. Key Developments in 2024 The legal separation of Diego’s Joint was completed at the beginning of the year, allowing both organisations to pursue clearer strategic and operational priorities Media Savvy CIC continued its rebuild following a strategic pivot away from formal accredited learning, which presented challenges but enabled a renewed focus on community-led, creative engagement Throughout this period of change, the organisation’s vision, mission, and values have remained strong, consistent, and uncompromised Community Benefit Media Savvy CIC exists to deliver clear and demonstrable community benefit. Our activities are designed to: Engage individuals who are marginalised, isolated, or disengaged from traditional education systems Improve confidence, communication skills, and creative expression through digital media and arts Support mental health, wellbeing, and healthier lifestyle choices through informal learning Reduce social isolation by creating safe, welcoming spaces for collaboration and participation Any surpluses generated by the organisation are reinvested directly into community programmes, enabling us to expand access, develop new initiatives, and maintain affordable or free provision for participants. Stakeholders and Engagement Media Savvy CIC works closely with: Community members and participants Freelance creatives and facilitators Local partners, funders, and commissioners Diego’s Joint as a separate but aligned organisation Stakeholder feedback continues to inform programme design, ensuring our activities remain relevant, inclusive, and responsive to community need. Future Plans and Objectives (2025) In 2025, Media Savvy CIC aims to: Re-establish and strengthen organisational sustainability, ensuring long-term resilience Maintain a clear, positive, and transparent working relationship with Diego’s Joint following legal separation Increase commercial income by at least 20%, supporting the delivery of social impact Progress the development of a sustainable employability programme, subject to funding Continue delivering high-quality, creative, community-focused activities aligned with our mission
