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. Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and legal title is passed.

Company activities and impact

Between August 2024 and January 2025, the Company delivered eight guided wellbeing walks for Darnall Well Being (“DWB”) as part of a wider green social prescribing project. Routes were planned in consultation with DWB, and the Company processed participant medical information and consent forms in order to complete comprehensive risk assessments. Transport was provided through the hire of a minibus from Rotherham Community Transport for each walk. All walks took place in the Peak District and incorporated additional wellbeing activities, including drawing and reflective practices focused on both natural and built environments encountered during the walks. Evaluation collected by both DWB and the Company evidenced a positive impact on participant wellbeing. The Company also led wellbeing walks for a mental health support group delivered by Voluntary Action Rotherham on behalf of Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust. This has developed into an established partnership. During the 2024–25 period, the Company delivered two further walks with the group and is currently planning a residential weekend in the Lake District. In addition, the Company supported the delivery of outdoor activities for Endeavour Training, a charity providing Alternative Provision for young people facing significant barriers to engagement in mainstream education. Activities included guided walks, weaselling, and foraging in the Peak District, alongside supervision and support of centre-based activities such as cooking at the Endeavour Centre. In September 2024, the Company successfully delivered a three-day residential programme for apprentices at a major manufacturer in Sheffield. This activity contributed to the Company’s financial sustainability and supports its ongoing ability to deliver community-focused work. The Company continues to explore similar opportunities to strengthen long-term sustainability.

Consultation with stakeholders

All activities undertaken during the year required detailed engagement to support effective planning, risk assessment, and delivery, ensuring that partners’ needs were appropriately met. During the year, the Company was involved in a number of consultations with Fir Vale Community Hub to explore ways in which the Company could support the local community. These consultations resulted in the Company leading several activities for the group. The Board of Directors met four times during the year to oversee both commercial and community trading activities. Board discussions focused on best practice in areas including risk assessment of activities and corporate governance matters such as data protection (GDPR) and insurance. The Company participated in the Social Enterprise Growth Accelerator Programme (SEGA) led by Sheffield Social Enterprise Network in collaboration with Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This included regular attendance at meetings and training events. The Company attended SSEN conferences in July 2024 and March 2025, both of which involved a full day of networking and training. It also attended a number of one-off training and networking events organised by SSEN, including a session focused on communicating organisational impact and storytelling. The Company also regularly attended networking events organised by SCCI. The Company maintained its membership of both SSEN and SCCI throughout the year.
