## Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 May 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, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. 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. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably. Turnover includes operating grants received, less unspent grants which are deferred into the following period. O08 V3 accounts 2025

  Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

  Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives. Fixtures and fittings are depreciated at 33% straight line and computer equipment at 25% straight line. O08 V3 accounts 2025

  Other accounting policies

  The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities – The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. The company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable surplus for the year using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Government grants are recognised in the income and expenditure account in a manner that matches them with the expenditure to which they relate. Grants for immediate financial support or to cover costs already incurred are recognised immediately, while grants relating to general activities are recognised over the relevant period.

Company activities and impact

During the financial year ending May 2025, the completion and dissemination of the Grow Your Own project contributed to raising awareness of the childcare crisis in London and strengthening community-led campaigning for affordable childcare. The childcare sector continues to face significant challenges, including low pay for childcare workers and a lack of affordable childcare places. In London, childcare costs are around 30% higher than in the rest of the UK, placing considerable pressure on families and childcare providers, particularly in the most deprived areas. The Grow Your Own project brought together past and present childcare campaigners from across London to share experiences and build collective knowledge about organising for better childcare. Through collaborative engagement, the project co-produced a range of resources designed to support grassroots campaigning and community organising. These included a podcast series, a campaigners’ toolkit, a “stay and play” resource for parents and carers, and a digital map documenting childcare campaigns and projects across the city. Overall, the project strengthened networks between campaigners, preserved important community knowledge, and provided practical resources to support ongoing efforts to improve childcare provision and working conditions for childcare workers in London. On the Record also provided practical support, oral history consultancy and skills development for community groups. Consultancy and support were delivered to eight non-profit organisations working across childcare, housing activism, mental healthcare and more, including Freewheelers Theatre and Media Company and The Cassel Hospital Charitable Trust. Additional creative outputs included two film shoots, development of an exhibition concept, and curatorial work with the disability charity United Response. This collaboration enabled the organisation to deliver a touring exhibition and film, helping to amplify the voices and experiences of learning disabled communities. The company continued to develop new projects and partnerships.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company engaged directly with past and present childcare campaigners from across London through the Grow Your Own project. These campaigners contributed their experiences and knowledge and were involved in the co-production of project resources including the podcast series, campaigners’ toolkit, “stay and play” resource and digital map of childcare campaigns and projects. Through On the Record, the company also worked closely with a range of partner organisations and community groups. Consultancy, training and project development were carried out collaboratively with eight non-profit organisations across areas including childcare, housing activism and mental healthcare, including Freewheelers Theatre and Media Company and The Cassel Hospital Charitable Trust. Creative collaboration with United Response also informed the development of film and exhibition work.
