    Turnover policy

    Overview The organisation’s turnover for the 2024–2025 financial year continued to consist primarily of restricted funding allocated to specific projects and activities. Due to the nature of grant-funded work, income recognition frequently spans multiple financial periods, depending on the timing of fund disbursement and delivery milestones. Income Recognition: We apply a deferral approach where funding is received late in the financial year or where project delivery extends beyond year-end. Any unspent restricted funds are carried forward into the next financial period to ensure they are used strictly in line with the funder’s conditions and the agreed project scope. Deferred Income Management: Deferred income is recorded in accordance with applicable financial reporting standards and the terms of funder agreements. All deferred balances are reviewed at year-end to confirm accuracy, track utilisation, and support financial planning for the upcoming period. Governance and Compliance: This approach ensures transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of funds. It also supports compliance with statutory reporting requirements and maintains the integrity of our financial management processes.

Company activities and impact

During 2024/25, Divine Buzz delivered a broad range of programmes to support wellbeing, reduce isolation, and strengthen community cohesion across Thamesmead and the surrounding areas. Our after-school club supported around 300 children with safe, creative, and structured activities during term time, while holiday programmes provided a safer space for the children to enjoy physical and enrichment activities during school holidays. Women’s wellbeing remained central, with exercise sessions, free gym access, healthy eating & social clubs, and swimming and cycling programmes building confidence, life skills, and peer support. Creative workshops including hair braiding, makeup, sewing, and cultural crafts promoted skills, entrepreneurship, and cultural expression. Through partnerships with The Felix Project, we continued to address food insecurity via the community food give-out. Community trips and enrichment outings broadened children’s experiences. Our collaborative work with the National Lottery, BBC Children in Need and the Royal Borough of Greenwich helped us to deliver these services successfully. Overall, Divine Buzz supported approximately 500 children and young people, 250 women, and over 200 families. Ongoing consultation with parents, participants, staff, volunteers, and funders ensured programmes remained inclusive, responsive, and grounded in community needs.

Consultation with stakeholders

Throughout 2024/25, Divine Buzz engaged in meaningful consultation with stakeholders to ensure programmes remained responsive, inclusive, and aligned with community needs. Community Conversations: Regular discussions with parents, caregivers, and young participants informed the development of After-School activities, Women’s Exercise sessions, and Holiday Programmes. Feedback emphasised the importance of flexible scheduling, culturally relevant content, and opportunities for creative and physical development. Funders and Partners: We shared end-of-project reports and held strategic review meetings with key funders. Stakeholders expressed strong satisfaction with programme outcomes and reaffirmed their commitment to ongoing partnership. Volunteer and Staff Input: Monthly reflection meetings and targeted training sessions, including safeguarding and SEND-focused workshops, enabled staff and volunteers to contribute insights that improved programme accessibility and delivery. Their feedback supported the introduction of more sensory-friendly and inclusive approaches for children with additional needs. Surveys and Feedback Tools: Post-activity surveys, visual feedback boards, and informal check-ins captured participant experiences and emerging priorities. This data informed programme adjustments and strengthened co production with the community. These consultations reinforced trust, enhanced programme quality, and ensured that Divine Buzz’s services remained grounded in lived experience and community aspirations.
