for the Period Ended 30 November 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

  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 Plant and machinery etc - 25% on cost

  Other accounting policies

  Taxation Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred Tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits Hire Purchase and leasing commitments Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Company activities and impact

Company Activities during this year. Providing education & training services to adults for counselling individuals in the community at diploma level and beyond; and, setting up and offering affordable counselling services by both qualified counsellors and supervised counsellors in training. How we are achieving this. There has been a growing need for support in mental health over the last few years, accelerated and exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The NHS has consistently reported a growing demand for mental health support from communities and GP practices. Counselling or talking therapy has proven to be a great benefit to many who suffer mental health conditions and while the NHS do their best to address this, the ever lengthening waiting lists has meant that more and more individuals are turning to the private sector. Training and education of adults in psychotherapeutic techniques to Diploma level and beyond is therefore of great importance to the community company thus ensuring the continual provision and expansion of counselling services. Very often it is the cost of such therapy which denies access and so this very point provided us with good reason to address this by considering how best to provide affordable counselling services on a lower cost basis in alliance with training. We therefore set up a affordable counselling service in the local community and have invited qualified counsellors to join with us to expand the service as well as supporting and supervising those in training seeking placements to gain hands on experience.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company's stakeholders and consultation The company's stakeholders are our "students" of today, training toward a professional qualification who will be come the counsellors in the community "tomorrow.", together with our net working community of trained counsellors of whom we collaborate. Feedback is received throughout the year from the students as to how the training may be amended, expanded or even changed to meet the needs of today's society and which is discussed at our annual general meeting. All who have trained and are training who are known to us by net working are invited and encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences to help improve services offered and to those services which we aspire to. As organisational members of the professional body, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Mercure Counselling and Training Alliance Cic (MCTA), also takes account of the national view and any regulatory changes which need to be or advised to be implemented.
