    Turnover policy

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Items or property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives range as follows: Plant & Machinery - 25% on straight line method. Fixtures & Fittings - 25% on straight line method. Motor Vehicles - 25% on reducing balance method. Computer Equipment - 25% on straight line method. The gain or loss arising from the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

    Other accounting policies

    Financial instruments Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Equity instruments Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company. 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. Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Going concern The directors note that the company is trading adequately and has sufficiently working capital and other finance available to continue trading for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. There are no significant uncertainties in their assessment of whether the business is a going concern and therefore have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis.

Company activities and impact

Summary of Activities The Silkworth Project CIC provides supported housing for vulnerable adults in Portsmouth. Our accommodation service offers a safe, stable environment with structured support aimed at im-proving wellbeing, life skills, and independence. We work with individuals who experience is-sues including homelessness, mental ill health, substance misuse, and social vulnerability. During the reporting period, we opened a public drop in centre offering holistic, non clinical wellbeing services. These include relaxation therapies, peer based support, and activities that promote emotional regulation and social connection. The service provides early intervention support for individuals who may not otherwise access formal health provision. How Activities Have Benefited the Community Our work has contributed to improved stability, health, and wellbeing for residents and com-munity members. Key outcomes include: - residents progressing into independent living or employment; - reduced crisis presentations due to early mental health support; - increased engagement with recovery and positive lifestyle choices; - improved self management skills and reduced social isolation. These outcomes contribute to wider community benefit by reducing pressure on local authority homelessness services, emergency healthcare, and crisis response teams. Partnership Working We continue to work collaboratively with statutory and voluntary agencies across Portsmouth, including mental health services, drug and alcohol support providers, housing teams, and community organisations. These partnerships ensure individuals receive coordinated support and help prevent homelessness, relapse, and repeated crisis interventions. This multi agency approach assists in reducing the reliance on higher cost public services and supports more sus-tainable recovery outcomes. Case Study (Anonymised) Resident X arrived at our service with a long history of alcohol dependency and unstable ac-commodation. He engaged consistently with key work sessions, attended external recovery support, and accessed wellbeing activities at our drop in centre. Over time, he achieved full ab-stinence and developed the confidence to pursue training opportunities. With ongoing support, Resident X completed a digital skills course and subsequently secured paid employment with a local web design company. He remains abstinent, employed, and living independently. This case demonstrates the impact of stable housing, coordinated recovery sup-port, and access to wellbeing activities in enabling long term positive outcomes Overall Impact The Silkworth Project CIC has delivered measurable community benefit by supporting vulnera-ble adults to improve their wellbeing, achieve stability, and progress towards independence. Our combination of supported housing, preventative wellbeing services, and partnership work-ing contributes directly to reducing homelessness, alleviating pressure on public services, and strengthening the health and resilience of the Portsmouth community.

Consultation with stakeholders

We hold weekly staff meetings where team members raise any concerns about residents or staff wellbeing, enabling us to address safeguarding, risk, and supervision needs promptly. Residents who attend our groups and drop in centre complete regular feedback forms, which help us monitor and improve our services. The local community has not been formally consulted; however, we introduce our staff to neighbouring residents when we occupy new properties to ensure they are informed and have a clear point of contact.
