Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 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 is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business. Sale of goods is recognised when the company has delivered products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from services is recognised when the services have been provided and the right to consideration has been earned.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives. The gain or loss arising on 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

    Impairment of fixed assets At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Taxation The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date Leases Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the company's accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

RUBBER CHICKEN THEATRE CIC

Company Number: SC610561 (Scotland)

Year Ending: 31 December 2025

Company activities and impact

2025 was a year of great change for the organisation. Since 2018, many of our productions and classes had been held in a church, which also doubled as a hire space. Early in 2025, the venue decided they wanted to increase their focus on church activities and, as such, gave us a year's notice to move our productions elsewhere. This revelation sparked a huge effort from within our parent body and wider community to help us find a new home for 2026. After months of searching and worry, we were delighted to take occupancy of The Cowane Centre in Stirling in October. Formerly a community centre operated by the council, it gave us not only a permanent and much larger home, complete with a built-in theatre, but also an opportunity for additional income generation and to support other groups in the community by hiring out our space, This also meant leaving our office space in Dunblane and withdrawing our provision from the town. We did this in a staggered manner and were relieved when the large majority of customers were willing to come with us to Stirling. Despite the huge changes caused by moving home, we were determined to keep things as business as normal as we could. Throughout 2025, our classes remained popular, with many of them operating at or close to capacity. Shows and productions continued to remain a core part of our programme delivery, with demand remaining incredibly high. To help increase opportunities for performance, we continued to utilise multiple casts for many of our productions. In the autumn of 2025, we launched registration for Matilda Jr, to be performed in 2026, and such was the interest that we had to introduce an unprecedented fourth cast. All of these activities were important in developing not only performance and stagecraft, but everyday transferable skills such as communication, confidence and working together. Our outreach and community work saw us attending local events and performing or hosting stalls. Once again, we attended Stirling Pride, The Dunblane Fling, The Dunblane High Street Extravaganza and Bloody Scotland. In addition, our open evening at our new home at The Cowane in November saw many members of the public, local community, politicians and local businesses attend, allowing us to reach out and build relationships with these groups. Commercially, we were also commissioned once again by Blair Drummond Safari Park to take a lead on producing their Christmas season offerings. Overall, despite the challenges and uncertainty that came with such a significant year of change, we continued to provide opportunities for children and young people to take part in performing arts activities throughout 2025. The move to The Cowane also gave us the opportunity to widen our impact, providing a new home for the organisation while creating a space that could be used by other groups and members of the wider community. As we ended the year, we were in a much stronger position to continue developing our activities and the opportunities we could offer in the years ahead.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company's stakeholders continued to be the children, young people and wider communities in and around Dunblane and, more significantly for the future, Stirling. Throughout the year, we continued to listen to the people who took part in our activities and engaged with the organisation. Feedback came through a variety of channels, including social media, conversations with members and families, and the many informal discussions that took place during classes, productions and community events. A specific new group that we were keen to build relationships with was our local neighbours, as our new home was located in a city centre area with many residential properties nearby. The increased use of the building led to increased traffic in the immediate vicinity, and we worked with our customers and building users to help reduce the impact of this wherever possible. These conversations helped us understand what was working well, where improvements could be made and what our community wanted from us. This feedback continued to inform how we developed our activities and made decisions about the organisation, We remained committed to ensuring that the people who used and engaged with Rubber Chicken Theatre CIC had opportunities to share their views and that these were considered as the organisation continued to develop.
