for the Period Ended 28 February 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

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment is used in the company's principal activity for the production and supply of goods or for administrative purposes and is stated in the balance sheet under the historic cost model. This model requires the assets to be stated at cost less amounts in respect of depreciation and less any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value (which is the expected amount that would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life), over the useful economic life of the respective asset as follows: Office Equipment, straight Line (4 years)

    Other accounting policies

    Further information regarding the company's financial position: Sizzle innovation made a deficit in the year as we invested in developing our product Treasure Gardening - Wonderfuel. The deficit was supported by Investment loans received resulting in the negative reserves balance. Cash remains in a strong position as we rebuild our reserves following the investment in product development.

Company activities and impact

Activities have included provide training and resources to numerous Community Gardens, developing new educational materials for gardeners, developing a new sustainable compost and identifying practical legislative changes that could support the UK economy and benefit the environment. In addition, Sizzle has undertaken extensive research identifying how people can have a healthy pet with minimal environmental impact. This research involved interviews with a multitude of stakeholders and will was published in 2025/26. We have provided expertise and guidance to several charities including the Royal Countryside Fund helping them to sharpen their messaging, build new partnerships and enhance their fundraising.

Consultation with stakeholders

Collaboration and consultation are at the heart of Sizzle’s activities. For the Enrich the Earth partnership we have created and convened an Expert External Advisory Group which meets four times a year and helps to inform, shape and promote the partnership activities. We led on the establishment of an advisory group of 20 organisations who have come together to launch a new communications campaign helping gardeners to better choose and use peat-free composts. We have created a partnership of 16 organisations who support a range of policy asks which we have developed that will help with the transition to a more circular economy. Our pets research has involved 1-2-1 interviews with 25 experts helping to create a ‘White Paper’ released in 2025. Our work supporting charities has involved bringing marketing experts together to provide external advice and guidance to the charity.
