Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 January 2026

  • 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 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.

    Other accounting policies

    Creditors Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. Taxation A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Year Ending: 31 January 2026

Company activities and impact

During the financial year ending 31 January 2026, Tools4Change CIC continued to deliver the Gateway Programme and associated facilitator training with the aim of increasing safe, informed responses to domestic abuse within the community. The company provided Gateway Programmes at no cost to individuals who had experienced domestic abuse. These structured sessions supported increased awareness of abusive dynamics, improved safety planning understanding, and strengthened recovery pathways. In addition, the CIC supported Polish-speaking individuals who had experienced abuse, helping reduce language barriers and improve access to appropriate information and community-based support. Income generated through professional facilitator training enabled the company to maintain delivery standards, update materials, and reinvest in accessibility measures. The CIC continued to support trained facilitators through review processes and ongoing guidance to ensure consistent, risk-aware programme provision. As previously agreed by the Board, this reporting year represents the final full year of trading activity. The company will complete its remaining delivery commitments during the early part of 2026 and then move into an orderly wind-down and voluntary dissolution process. All remaining funds will be handled in accordance with the CIC asset lock provisions prior to dissolution. Through its final year of activity, Tools4Change CIC has continued to provide measurable community benefit by: - Delivering free Gateway Programmes to individuals affected by domestic abuse. - Strengthening the knowledge and confidence of frontline professionals. - Improving access to structured support for individuals facing language barriers. - Maintaining risk-managed, quality-assured programme provision.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders during this reporting year included: - Gateway Programme participants. - Certified and trainee facilitators. - Frontline organisations. - Local and voluntary sector partners. Feedback was gathered through facilitator review meetings, post-training discussions, and informal consultation with delivery partners. Stakeholder feedback highlighted: - The importance of maintaining accessible and structured materials. - Ongoing need for risk-aware delivery guidance. - The value of culturally inclusive support approaches. - The importance of continued training for frontline workers. In response, the company: - Maintained clarity and accessibility within programme materials. - Continued to emphasise embedded risk management. - Supported access for Polish-speaking individuals. - Reinforced facilitator review processes to maintain safe practice standards. As the company moves towards closure, all stakeholders will be appropriately informed, and provision will be concluded responsibly to ensure continuity and compliance.
