  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 sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods. Turnover from corporate grants and subsidies is recognised over the period they can be matched with the related costs, provided that there are no conditions attached that have yet to be met. If a grant is conditional or related to future expenses, it may be deferred and recognized as income over the period in which the related costs are incurred or the conditions are met.

  Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

  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 fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: Computer Equipment 33% straight line method.

  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 profit as reported in the profit and loss 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.

Company activities and impact

TWMP is dedicated to alleviating the burden of hand washing clothes for low-income and displaced persons around the globe. 70% of the global population do not have access to washing machines (Hans Rosling, 2010). Hand-washing clothes is a laborious task that can take up to 20 hours a week, and is a burden often disproportionately placed on women. Our research in eight countries with 556 families found skin irritation from detergents and back and joint pain to be the main side effects of handwashing clothes. Electric washing machines rely on two resources which are often scarce in humanitarian contexts - water and electricity. Our manual, off-the-grid washer that helps save up to 50% of water and 75% of the time compared to handwashing clothes. Since 2019, The Washing Machine Project has directly improved the lives of over 57,000 people through hundreds of Divya Washing Machines distributed across more than 40 programmes globally. Our work spans multiple countries including Iraq, Poland*, Uganda, the United States, South Africa, Mexico, Kenya, Kiribati, India, Republic of Congo, Greece, Gaza, and Ghana, and we partner with a wide range of organisations, from INGOs, NGOs such as Oxfam, Care International, A Drop in the Ocean, UNHCR and UK Med as well as local charities and organisations such as Alternativas, Aqua, Alight, Tech Ground, AC, Collectivo Tomate, Concern, TASS, Techo, InPact Uganda, Medical Teams International, OFI, Sharana and Kynarou.

Consultation with stakeholders

The Washing Machine Project’s unique, manual washing machine allows its beneficiaries (predominantly women and girls) to pursue employment and educational opportunities they are not currently able to pursue due to domestic labour demands. Moreover, our machine uses no form of energy, only manpower, so is not reliant on energy sources which may be expensive and unreliable in these environments. Finally, our machine is water efficient, requiring just 20 litres of water per 5kg load compared to up to 100 litres per 5kg load for some electric washing machines. The Washing Machine Project has now distributed its Divya washing machines to families and communities in India, the United States, Mexico, Ghana, Uganda, South Africa. We’ve also reached refugee camps in the Republic of Congo and Greece, and provided machines to hospital staff in Gaza and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Washing Machine Project has impacted over 26,000 people during the period.
