Principal activities of the company

Springbank Community Group CiC operates to deliver community-based services across Cheltenham, with a focus on reducing poverty, social isolation and inequality, and improving wellbeing for children, young people and families. During the year, a significant area of delivery was the Community Food Pantry, which supported approximately 250 local families each week. The pantry provided affordable access to food and essential household items, supporting households to manage ongoing cost-of-living pressures with dignity and choice. This provision was complemented by informal advice, reassurance and signposting to other local services. Youth work continued to be a core strand of activity. The organisation delivered both universal and targeted youth provision for children and young people aged 8–25, including specific support for young people with additional needs. This work focused on wellbeing, confidence, relationships and life skills, while providing trusted spaces for early help and guidance. The organisation also delivered wider community support through its Community Cafe, mentoring, digital inclusion and wellbeing activities. These services created inclusive, welcoming spaces where residents could connect, reduce isolation and access support in a non-stigmatising way. In addition, Springbank Community Group CiC delivered an international youth exchange programme, enabling young people from Cheltenham to engage with peers from partner communities in Europe. This work promoted cultural understanding, active citizenship, confidence and independence, and supported young people to develop transferable skills and broader perspectives.

  • 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

    Springbank Community Group CiC recognises turnover as income earned during the financial year from the provision of goods and services, grants, donations and other funding streams arising from its community activities. Turnover is recognised when the organisation is entitled to the income, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the economic benefit will be received. Income from grants and funding is recognised in the period to which it relates, where any conditions attached to the funding have been met. Where funding is received in advance of delivery or subject to performance-related conditions, income is deferred and recognised in the appropriate accounting period. Donations and voluntary income are recognised when received or when the organisation has certainty of entitlement. Income generated through trading activities, including the Community Cafe, food pantry contributions and other service-related income, is recognised at the point the goods or services are provided. This policy ensures that turnover is accounted for consistently and accurately, in accordance with applicable UK accounting standards and company law.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Springbank Community Group CiC recognises tangible fixed assets at cost, including any directly attributable costs necessary to bring the asset into use. Assets are capitalised where the cost is material and where they are expected to be used in the organisation’s activities for more than one financial year. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets, less any estimated residual value, on a systematic basis over their expected useful economic lives. Depreciation is charged from the date the asset is brought into use. The depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed annually to ensure they remain appropriate. The following depreciation rates are applied: Fixtures and fittings: depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life Equipment: depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life Small items of equipment may be written off in the year of purchase where appropriate, in line with the organisation’s capitalisation threshold. This policy ensures that tangible fixed assets are reflected fairly in the financial statements and that the cost of assets is matched to the periods in which they are used.

Company activities and impact

During the financial year, Springbank Community Group CiC continued to deliver a broad and responsive range of community-based services across Cheltenham, with a strong focus on addressing food poverty, reducing social isolation and improving wellbeing for children, young people and families. Our work is grounded in local need and shaped by ongoing engagement with residents, volunteers, partner organisations and frontline professionals. A significant area of delivery was the Community Food Pantry, which supported approximately 250 local families each week. In the context of ongoing cost-of-living pressures, the pantry provided reliable access to affordable food and essential household items, helping families manage financial strain while maintaining dignity and choice. This practical support was complemented by informal advice, reassurance and signposting to wider services, enabling individuals to access holistic support and reduce crisis-driven need. Youth work remained a core strand of our activity. We delivered a programme of universal and targeted provision for children and young people aged 8–25, including dedicated support for young people with additional needs. This work focused on emotional wellbeing, confidence, social development and life skills, while creating trusted relationships through which young people could access early help and guidance at key transition points. In addition, we delivered an international youth exchange programme, providing young people from Cheltenham with the opportunity to engage with peers from partner communities in Europe. This work promoted cultural understanding, active citizenship, confidence and independence, and enabled young people to develop broader perspectives and transferable skills that support their personal and social development. Alongside this, we operated a Community Cafe and delivered mentoring, digital inclusion and wellbeing activities, creating inclusive and welcoming spaces where residents could connect, reduce isolation and access support in a non-stigmatising environment. Collectively, these activities strengthened community connections, supported early intervention and contributed to improved resilience across neighbourhoods in Cheltenham, with all surplus reinvested to sustain and develop services for community benefit.

Consultation with stakeholders

All service users are considered key stakeholders within Springbank Community Group CiC, and consultation is embedded within our day-to-day delivery. Young people are regularly consulted on the design and development of youth provision through informal discussions, session feedback and ongoing dialogue with trusted staff, ensuring activities reflect their interests, needs and aspirations. Members of the Community Food Pantry are consulted on the range of food and household products available, enabling us to respond to cultural preferences, dietary requirements and changing household needs. We also engage with local residents to inform the development of community groups, activities and events, using feedback gathered through conversations, surveys and community engagement. This ongoing consultation ensures our services remain relevant, responsive and shaped by those who use them.
