Notes to the Financial Statements

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

    Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. The company recognises revenue when: The amount of revenue can be reliably measured; it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Motor vehicles - 25 % straight line

    Other accounting policies

    Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. Tax The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements. 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. Impairment A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowing or current liabilities. Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Company activities and impact

Root Cause Project [CIC] has had a great year for deliver and growth. We have continued to support more than 120 veterans with mental health and well-being support through our nature-based program and direct contact. We have delivered over 17 sessions to our veterans, helping them reduce the feeling of isolation and, for those preparing to leave active service, with their loss of role, purpose and transition. We have continued to focus on the roots of the cause, which is trauma informed and encompasses a myriad of mental health challenges, in which we provide the tools needed to enjoy life. Our sessions continue to be green prescribed, combining bushcraft, survival skills, and therapeutic strategies to support Veterans in the North Devon area. We have continued to improve our visibility in the wider community by attending local events, while also helping our attendees to feel connected to the wider community by incorporating them in these events. We were invited to attend Families Day at Commando Training Centre, and enjoyed a great day showcasing what we do during our sessions, while talking to families and past and present members of the armed forces community. As part of this, we contributed resources, manpower and time, to help Hakeford Woods install 400 meters of specialised matting to help with drainage and provide better access for attendees with reduced mobility and wheelchair access. We also helped to build a disabled toilet. These projects not only helped our attendees through small, meaningful task completion and focus, but also helps members of the public - who use the space - to have more freedom to enjoy nature. Root Cause Project and attendees organised and participated in the Welsh 3000 Challenge, which saw a Member of the Directorship [Roy Goddin] and four service users’ summit 15 mountains over 3000 feet in 26 hrs 11 minutes carrying 60Lb Bergens. This was undertaken to raise money for Root Cause, as well as the Royal Marines Charity. We managed to raise a total of £1825, which was shared equally. I think this emphasises the special bond that the Root Cause Project encourages, rekindles and fosters. It also highlights what can be achieved when you pull together people cut from the same cloth, and reminds the individuals participating what they can do, and more importantly, how together we are stronger. Our year culminated in receiving a Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector award for the provision of ‘Physical Wellbeing’. This was a great achievement for Root Cause, and helps validate its importance in the work we do. We were also mentioned in the Parliamentary Debate [HANSAR] on the 26th June 2025, which highlighted the work we are carrying out, and the need for these services. Again, it was a special honour to have been singled out.
