Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 September 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

    Other accounting policies

    Basis of preparation These accounts have been prepared under FRS 102, including Section 1A for small entities, using historical cost and the accruals basis. The company is a public benefit entity. These are the first accounts, so no comparative period is presented. Amounts are presented in pounds sterling, rounded to whole pounds, with minor rounding adjustments to ensure totals reconcile. Grant income Government revenue grants are accounted for using the accrual model: grant income is recognised systematically as the related project costs are incurred. Funding relating to future project costs is carried as deferred income. Other non-exchange grants are recognised when entitlement, probable receipt and reliable measurement are established, subject to any performance conditions. Expenses and prepayments Expenses are recognised when the company receives the goods or services. Payments for services covering a future period are carried as prepayments. Costs paid by a director on the company’s behalf are recognised with a corresponding amount owed to that director. Pre-incorporation set-up costs are included on the assumption that the company adopted responsibility for them. Going concern At the period end the company had net liabilities of £794, cash at bank of £8,852 and deferred Lottery funding of £8,500. The director has confirmed that the £855 advanced and paid on the company’s behalf is interest-free, has no fixed repayment date and is to be repaid when unrestricted funds permit. The directors expect the company to continue operating and to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from approval. The accounts are therefore prepared on a going concern basis. The company must continue to manage its funded commitments and the availability of unrestricted funds for administration and director repayments.

The £855 consists of a £500 cash advance, £78 initial address services, £149 formation costs, £78 address renewal and £50 confirmation statement fee. The amount is interest-free, has no fixed repayment date and is repayable when unrestricted funds permit. It is included in current creditors because no enforceable right to defer settlement for at least twelve months has been established.

The cost recognised was £9,499, of which £9,124 was paid during the period and £375 remained outstanding at 30 September 2026. The outstanding £375 is included in the creditors above.

Year Ending: 30 September 2026

Company activities and impact

During its first financial year, Canopy & Campfires CIC secured funding and commissioned nature-based wellbeing programmes for young people in the Rochdale area. Its activities aimed to improve access to supportive provision for young people facing emotional, social or educational difficulties, including those with additional needs. Funding from the Rochdale Communities Fund supported mentoring, counselling-supported provision, woodland crafts and introductory sessions. This project was completed during the year. National Lottery Community Fund funding supported the Wilderness Wellbeing project, which remained ongoing at 30 September 2026. Commissioned provision offered opportunities to develop confidence, resilience and self-esteem through purposeful outdoor activities and supportive conversation. It also provided opportunities to practise cooperation, take responsibility and care for the local woodland environment. The community benefit centred on supporting local young people’s wellbeing and participation, while giving families access to additional support alongside education and other services. The CIC developed and managed the projects, commissioned independent practitioners and oversaw the use of funding and the quality of provision. Sessions were delivered by the commissioned practitioners.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders include young people participating in its funded projects, their parents and carers, and schools. Consultation during the year took place informally through conversations with young people, parents and schools about the funded provision. The feedback gathered will inform the company’s first annual review and its consideration of future project development. At the reporting date, that review had not yet taken place.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received
