Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 April 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

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; 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 transaction can be measured reliably.

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the surplus as reported in the income and expenditure account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in the income and expenditure account, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. 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. Trade and other creditors Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

Social Gallery Community Interest Company aims to engage people from Leicester, Leicestershire and the East Midlands in projects and activities which foster social connection, and keep social history alive by valuing and sharing untold stories of people’s involvement in popular culture, social movements, communities, places and spaces. Our objectives are to protect heritage at risk through collecting, showcasing and archiving stories, memories and artefacts through projects which engage different communities in co-curating exhibitions, events, books and films which foster positive nostalgia and gives people a sense of wellbeing and an opportunity to meet and learn from others. During our first year April 2024 – March 2025, most of our activities focussed on developing relationships with partners and making people aware of the work we plan to do and recruiting a voluntary steering group with relevant skills and expertise to support our work. We received three small grants, A Leicester City Council Cultural Ambition Fund grant of £3000 to consult with and engage local people in the planning and development of a larger scale project which will focus on the subcultures of the 1980s and produce an exhibition at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery in 2027. We engaged 55 people from diverse communities who contributed their ideas and memories to support the further development of this project which will be called 80s Remixed. We also supported and helped with design and production of an exhibition led by De Montfort University – The Art School Goes on Forever, January-March 2025, involving and telling the story of successful creative alumni that attended The Leicester College of Art 1n the 1960s. We applied for a Leicester City Council Ward Fund grant to support 2 events which enabled the general public to visit the exhibition and hear talks and learn about the successful creative careers of those featured in the exhibition. The Social Gallery directors supported the curation, promotion and design of the exhibition which attracted an audience of around 1000 people. In January 2025 we won an Enterprise Nation start up business grant of £3000 which we carried forward into 2026 to support core running and development costs of the organisation.

Consultation with stakeholders

The Cultural Ambition Fund grant was aimed to consult with and engage local people with memories to share and ideas to put forward to shape a bigger exhibition and event project called 80s Remixed to take place in 2027. We engaged 55 people who were all able to put their ideas forward and feel involved in the project. This consultation has helped us to put in further funding applications to support the project. We have also held regular Steering Group meetings with our 7 members contributing ideas and expertise to the development of a number of projects we aim to get off the ground in 2026 and 2027.
