  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 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: Freehold buildings over 50 years Leasehold land and buildings over the lease term Plant and machinery over 5 years Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment over 5 years

Company activities and impact

During the financial year, RAFIKI Community CIC has delivered meaningful social impact by supporting vulnerable migrants and ethnic minority families who face significant barriers to integration, wellbeing, and access to services. The organisation provided safe, confidential spaces where women from migrant and refugee backgrounds could openly discuss trauma-related experiences, including domestic violence, FGM, forced marriage, displacement, and social isolation. These spaces helped reduce isolation, improve emotional wellbeing, and build trust within communities that are often underserved or reluctant to engage with statutory services. RAFIKI offered practical support and signposting, enabling individuals to access essential services such as food assistance, housing advice, healthcare, and legal or advocacy services through trusted referral pathways. This support helped alleviate immediate hardship and improved participants’ ability to navigate systems in the UK. Through community engagement and partnership working with organisations such as African Families in the UK (AFiUK) and Refugee, Asylum Seeker & Migrant Action (RAMA), RAFIKI strengthened local support networks and reduced duplication of services. Collaboration ensured that resources were used efficiently and that individuals received timely, culturally appropriate assistance. The organisation also contributed to community cohesion and empowerment by fostering peer support, increasing awareness of rights and available services, and encouraging confidence and independence among participants. These activities helped individuals move towards greater stability, resilience, and social inclusion within the local community.

Consultation with stakeholders

Yes, RAFIKI Community CIC has consulted with its stakeholders during the financial year to ensure that its activities respond effectively to community needs. The company’s key stakeholders include: Vulnerable migrants and ethnic minority women who access RAFIKI’s services Partner organisations, including African Families in the UK (AFiUK) and Refugee, Asylum Seeker & Migrant Action (RAMA) Community volunteers and advocates Local community groups and referral partners Methods of consultation included: Informal one-to-one conversations and group discussions with service users during support sessions Feedback gathered through community meetings and safe-space sessions Ongoing dialogue with partner organisations through meetings and referrals Input from volunteers based on their direct engagement with service users Actions taken in response to stakeholder feedback: The development and expansion of confidential safe-space sessions following feedback from women expressing a need for private, culturally sensitive environments Improved signposting and referral pathways to specialist services, including domestic violence, housing, and mental health support Greater flexibility in service delivery to accommodate language barriers, childcare responsibilities, and varying availability of service users Strengthened partnership working to ensure more coordinated and effective support The feedback received has directly shaped RAFIKI Community CIC’s activities and priorities, helping the organisation remain responsive, inclusive, and community-led.
