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 for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and value added taxes.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses or at a revalued amount. Any tangible assets carried at a revalued amount are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and reserves. However, the increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves. If a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess is recognised in profit or loss. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over the useful lives on the following basis: Motor Vehicles 25% Reducing Balance

    Other accounting policies

    Basis of preparation Statement of compliance These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of land and buildings and certain financial instruments measured at fair value in accordance with the accounting policies. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the company. Going concern basis The directors believe that the company is experiencing good levels of sales growth and profitability, and that it is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly, they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Taxation The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current taxation The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The companys liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

DADSPACE CIC

Company Number: 14064953 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 30 April 2025

Company activities and impact

DadSpace delivered over 86 free, accessible, and inclusive in-person activities, walks, workshops, and family sessions for fathers and their families across the South East of England in 2025. Our work is rooted in our ethos of “Brotherly Support Between Fathers”, creating spaces where men feel safe to connect, talk and grow together without stigma or pressure. Founded in November 2021 and formalised as a Community Interest Company in January 2023, DadSpace has experienced yet another year of significant growth. Building on strong foundations established in previous years, 2025 has been about strengthening delivery, deepening impact, and responding directly to what fathers tell us they need most. What started in Maidstone has now developed into a recognised and trusted programme of regular sessions across 10 locations, with sustained attendance, repeat engagement, and increasing referrals through word of mouth and professional networks. This growth has been supported by strong relationships with Kent County Council and Medway Council, both of whom have recognised DadSpace’s delivery quality, reach, and impact on local families. During the most recent financial year, DadSpace activities have directly benefited hundreds of fathers and their families, with wider community impact extending beyond those who attend sessions in person. Our activities and outcomes include, but are not limited to: - Regular father-focused peer support sessions, offering space for conversation, connection, and shared experience. - Physical activity opportunities including walks, hikes, gym sessions, and family-friendly challenges that support both mental and physical wellbeing. - Family bonding sessions, enabling fathers to spend positive, meaningful time with their children in a supportive environment. - Guest speakers and themed sessions shaped by participant feedback, covering areas such as mental health, motivation, prostate cancer, relationships, and personal development. - Continued growth of our online peer support networks, including active WhatsApp and social media communities that extend support beyond sessions. - Delivery of workplace wellbeing workshops for local businesses and organisations, reaching large numbers of employees and increasing awareness of men’s mental health. - Fundraising challenges and events that not only raise vital funds but also strengthen community identity and purpose among participating fathers. - Increased visibility through radio media engagement, partnerships, and community events, helping to normalise conversations around fatherhood and mental health. Most importantly, DadSpace continues to provide early, preventative support for fathers who are struggling. Multiple attendees have openly shared that attending DadSpace sessions helped them through periods of significant emotional distress, including thoughts of suicide. Knowing that fathers are still here, present with their children and families, remains the most meaningful and powerful measure of our impact.

Consultation with stakeholders

DadSpace’s primary stakeholders are the fathers and families who attend our sessions, and their voices remain central to everything we do. Consultation happens continuously and informally through conversations at sessions, post-event feedback, online communities, and direct messages. This ongoing dialogue allows us to remain responsive, relevant, and grounded in real lived experience. Fathers regularly tell us they value: - The informal, non-clinical nature of DadSpace - The variety of activities offered, appealing to different interests and comfort levels - The sense of belonging and consistency - The fact that sessions are free and accessible This feedback directly informs how sessions are designed, where they are delivered, and how DadSpace continues to evolve. Kent County Council and Medway Council are also key stakeholders. Both have engaged with DadSpace through funding, monitoring, and review processes and have consistently expressed confidence in our growth, delivery, and outcomes. DadSpace’s ability to establish new locations, build sustainable attendance, and deliver outcomes as promised has been recognised positively, with delivery exceeding our own expectations in project review discussions. External recognition has further validated DadSpace’s approach. Previous awards and ongoing positive feedback from partners and professionals reinforce that our model fills an important gap in local family and mental health provision. Looking ahead to 2026, DadSpace will continue to build on stakeholder insight by: - Expanding provision carefully while maintaining quality and consistency - Strengthening evaluation and outcome reporting - Deepening partnerships with local authorities, NHS, Canterbury Christ Church University and many other community organisations - Continuing to place fathers’ voices at the heart of decision-making DadSpace enters the next year with confidence, clarity of purpose. We are proud to be the Father’s Voice of Kent and Medway and are committed more than ever to creating more space to grow for fathers, families, and communities across the South East of England.
