A Landmark Moment.. The Opening of Our Forest School Hub
One of our proudest achievements this year was the creation and launch of our pennanent Forest School Hub,
made possible by an outpouring of generosity, skilled parlnership and community spirit. Our forest school
provides free and subsidised sessions to children who are unable to access this type of provision due to financial
barriers.
This thoughtfully designed outdoor space, featuring natural sealing. planting areas. and a dedicated teaching
shelter, Nvas officially opened in Autumn 20?4. The launch brought together partners. funders and families to
celebrate what is now a dedicated sanctuary for outdoor leamins environmental stem'ardship and wellbeing.
special thank you goes to Newark and Sherwood District Council. Hubbub. Morrisons Foundation,
Nottinghamshire Community Foundation. NCC"s HAF Programme, VIY. and Daisy Dady who led the project,
whose combined support brought this vision to life. Our staff and volunteers also worked tirelessly to shape the
physical Space. infusing it with creativity and wannth.
"This magical Space is a beacon of discovery and leaTning lor conservation and natural habitat in the heart of our
community.... Our treehouse will be a sanctuary for outdiKJr learning and wellbeing sessions, nurturing minds
and bodie5 in harmony with the natural World."
The Forest School now runs weekly sessions for children aged 5-16 as part of our Playscheme and youth
programme. The space is also being used for community environmental activilies, nature-based mental health
support, and skills development. Already. children like J.G. have found it life-changing-gaining trust,
confidence and calm in a setting tailored io their needs.
Together. we have created a living legacy for learnin& connection, and ecological awareness-a space where
young minds can flourish, and community can grow.
Financial review
Our income has decreased this year. and expenditure corresponds ￿'1th the Big Lottery Funding received in
23-24. that spanned 2 financial )'ears. Demand on our services continues to rise, along with footfall (the iiumber
of beneficiaries using our services more often). and we have seen an increase in individuals experiencing the
effects of poverty, particularly related to fuel and food poverty due to the cost of living crisis. Our beneficiaries
are in desperate need and the pressure on us to fill the gap in public services, in an isolated cornmunity continues
to increase.
The designated funds are set aside to meet essential future spending such as funding essential building and
maintenance costs and social action projects that could not be met from future grant income.
We managed our expenditure over the past year by reducing stalring leve15, and reducing operational project
delivery spend: in total reducing our expenditure.

initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting
policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement
of Cash Flows within the financial slalements.
Going concern
The financlal statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trnstees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material
uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to
continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date
of approval of the financial statements.
Ineome and endowments
Volunlary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general
nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be
received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be
reliably Measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants
have been met. Where perforniance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be meL the income is

The Social Action Hub
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Expendilure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable
settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable
expenditure heading that aggregaies similar costs to that calegory. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to
particular headings they have been allocated on a basls consislent with the use of resources, with central staff
costs allocated on the basis of time spenl. and deprecialion charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charilable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services
for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activilies and those costs of an
indirect nature necessary to support them.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset
received or receivable. Grants are classifled as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue
are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are
recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is
recognised a5 deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pa55 the tests set out in Paragrdph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corpordtion tax purpose5. Accordingly, the
charity is potentially exempt frotn taxation in respect ol income or capital gaiT]s received within categories
covered by Chapter 3 Part I l of the Corporation Tax Act 201 O or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
