## **Achievements and Performance**
SORP reference The charity has made a meaningful Para 1.20 difference to the lives of individuals and communities by providing accessible mental health and wellbeing. Through psychotherapy, ecotherapy, psychoeducation, out IWSS service and a wide programme of wellbeing workshops, many beneficiaries have gained practical tools to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen their personal resilience. Participants have reported feeling better equipped to cope with life’s challenges, leading to improved daily functioning, stronger relationships and enhanced overall wellbeing. Our regular yoga and tai chi sessions have offered safe, inclusive spaces for people to explore the connection between physical health and mental wellbeing. Meanwhile, our **Club Hubs** have continued to reduce loneliness and isolation by creating welcoming community spaces where individuals can connect, share experiences and develop supportive peer networks. This has been particularly valuable for those who might otherwise face barriers to accessing mental health support. The outdoors wellbeing initiative, including our Ollie’s Moving Mountains programme, has enabled participants to experience the combined benefits of physical activity, nature and group challenge. This has helped individuals build confidence and self-esteem while strengthening social connections. The initiative has also promoted the importance of green spaces and outdoor activity for mental health more broadly. A significant focus has also been the development of our forthcoming **children’s**
Commercial in Confidence
**project** , due to launch in autumn. Although not yet visible to the public, extensive work has been undertaken behind the scenes, underpinned by academic research, community consultation and direct involvement of children themselves. This preparatory phase has ensured that the project is firmly grounded in evidence and shaped by the voices of those it is designed to support, positioning it to deliver maximum impact once launched. Beyond direct services, the charity has engaged in policy and campaign work, raising awareness of mental health issues and advocating for improved support at both local and national levels. This work has amplified the voices of our beneficiaries and contributed to wider conversations about how society responds to mental health needs. Taken together, these achievements have not only improved the circumstances of individual beneficiaries but also delivered wider public benefit by fostering healthier, more resilient communities, reducing social isolation, and encouraging a more compassionate and proactive approach to mental health in society. **Organisational Structure:** The Board is made up of 7 trustees from a varied and diverse professional and personal background. Within the Board structure there are sub committees as set out below: **Finance HR Comms Governance/Legal**
Commercial in Confidence
**Mental Health Community needs/lived experience** There is also a clear structure with active and regular engagement between the chair and vice chair and wider board, both of which work closely with the operational team and CEO with open and clear lines of communication even between set meetings. **Regular Board meetings** There are Board meetings on a monthly basis, with occasional ad hoc meetings between times. There is a minimum yearly Board meeting schedule of 6 per year, however as an organisation we exceed this, and have in the period of this report have had 12 (with additional meetings also scheduled between). **Major risks and management of those risks** A Risk Register has been developed and approved by the board, and is reviewed quarterly by the Finance committee. **Future Plans:** In time the organisation is making considerations to branch outside of the MIND federated model in order to operate within a wider demographic. Current federated structures have on occasion been limiting not only in terms on community collaboration (due to the federation terms of agreement and designated domains), but also has been detrimental in access to funds which has been clearly documented in all relevant Board meeting minutes. **Should this move be made, it is foreseen that funding opportunities will be significantly increased and be on benefit to the organisation, and more crucially the**

## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Financial Review**
At the year-end, the charity has funds of £25,295. The charity is in a stable financial position and can currently meet its obligations when they fall due.
## **Reserves**
Any reserves held (restricted funds) are held to enable specific financial commitments to be met on time. The restricted funds were fully spent in the year.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the trustee’s report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdon Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable laws and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## Statement as to disclosure to our auditors:
In so far as the Trustees are aware at the time of approving our Trustees’ annual report:
- there is no relevant information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing their report, of which the group’s auditor is unaware, and
- the Trustees, having made enquiries of fellow directors and the group’s auditor that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BLOOMSPACE FOUNDATION**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The BloomSpace Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of The BloomSpace Foundation you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the The BloomSpace Foundation 's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of The BloomSpace Foundation as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## **Expenditure**
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 aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## **Charitable 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 activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. 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 classified 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 as deferred income.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £150.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Computer and office Equipment|3 years S/L|
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, 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.
Page 10
## **THE BLOOMSPACE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Trade creditors**
are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. They are recognised initially at the transaction price.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2025.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) and is controlled by its constitution on 20 October 2017, and as amended on 21 August 2025 and was formerly known as Ystradgynlais Mind.
## **Our Purpose and Activities**
The charity provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem in Ystradgynlais and the surrounding areas. Mind Ystradgynlais is affiliated with Mind National Association for Mental Health and its purpose and activities are in accordance with the aims and objectives of Mind.
During the year, the charity has continued to deliver a broad range of services designed to promote mental health, emotional wellbeing and community resilience. These have included:
**Psychotherapy, Ecotherapy and IWSS** – providing accessible one-to-one and group therapeutic support, both in traditional settings and in nature-based environments, helping individuals to manage mental health challenges and improve personal resilience.
**Psychoeducation and Wellbeing Workshops** – offering workshops on a wide range of topics to equip participants with knowledge and practical tools for maintaining good mental health, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships. This is also inclusive of workshops held on more practical matter such as gas safety, with our partnership with Wales and West Utilities.
**Movement and Mind-Body Practices** – delivering regular yoga and tai chi sessions to support physical health, reduce stress, and encourage mindful practices that enhance overall wellbeing.
**Club Hubs** – our community-led spaces which bring people together locally to reduce isolation, build supportive peer networks, and provide a welcoming environment for meaningful connection and shared activity.
**Outdoors Wellbeing Initiative** – including our “Ollie’s Moving Mountains” programme, which combines physical activity, time in nature and group challenge to improve confidence, self-esteem and mental resilience.
**Policy and Campaign Work** – engaging with wider systems and stakeholders to raise awareness of mental health issues, advocate for better support services, and influence policy to benefit individuals and communities. Through these activities, the charity has provided inclusive and accessible opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to improve their mental health and wellbeing, reduce isolation, and build stronger, healthier communities.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **Volunteers**
Volunteers continue to play a vital role in the work of the charity, contributing their time, skills and energy across many areas of our activities. They support the delivery of therapeutic and wellbeing programmes, assist in running workshops and events, and provide essential help in the day-to-day operation of our services.

## **THE BLOOMSPACE FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
Our volunteers also play an important part in the welcoming and supportive environment of our Club Hubs, offering a friendly first point of contact for participants and helping to foster a sense of belonging within the community. Others have given their time to support our outdoors wellbeing initiatives, accompanying groups on walks and activities, and ensuring that participants feel safe and encouraged.
Beyond direct service delivery, volunteers have contributed to the governance and development of the charity through trustee roles, administrative support, fundraising efforts and helping to raise awareness of our work locally.
The contribution of our volunteers not only extends the reach and impact of our services but also embodies the values of community, compassion and shared responsibility that underpin our work. We are deeply grateful for their commitment, without which many of our activities would not be possible.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The charity has made a meaningful difference to the lives of individuals and communities by providing accessible mental health and wellbeing. Through psychotherapy, ecotherapy, psychoeducation, out IWSS service and a wide programme of wellbeing workshops, many beneficiaries have gained practical tools to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen their personal resilience. Participants have reported feeling better equipped to cope with life’s challenges, leading to improved daily functioning, stronger relationships and enhanced overall wellbeing.
Our regular yoga and tai chi sessions have offered safe, inclusive spaces for people to explore the connection between physical health and mental wellbeing. Meanwhile, our Club Hubs have continued to reduce loneliness and isolation by creating welcoming community spaces where individuals can connect, share experiences and develop supportive peer networks. This has been particularly valuable for those who might otherwise face barriers to accessing mental health support.
The outdoors wellbeing initiative, including our Ollie’s Moving Mountains programme, has enabled participants to experience the combined benefits of physical activity, nature and group challenge. This has helped individuals build confidence and self-esteem while strengthening social connections. The initiative has also promoted the importance of green spaces and outdoor activity for mental health more broadly.
A significant focus has also been the development of our forthcoming children’s project, due to launch in autumn. Although not yet visible to the public, extensive work has been undertaken behind the scenes, underpinned by academic research, community consultation and direct involvement of children themselves. This preparatory phase has ensured that the project is firmly grounded in evidence and shaped by the voices of those it is designed to support, positioning it to deliver maximum impact once launched.
Beyond direct services, the charity has engaged in policy and campaign work, raising awareness of mental health issues and advocating for improved support at both local and national levels. This work has amplified the voices of our beneficiaries and contributed to wider conversations about how society responds to mental health needs.
Taken together, these achievements have not only improved the circumstances of individual beneficiaries but also delivered wider public benefit by fostering healthier, more resilient communities, reducing social isolation, and encouraging a more compassionate and proactive approach to mental health in society.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Board is made up of 7 trustees from a varied and diverse professional and personal background. Within the Board structure there are sub committees as set out below:
- Finance
- HR
- Comms
- Governance/Legal
- Mental Health
- Community needs/lived experience
There is also a clear structure with active and regular engagement between the chair and vice chair and wider board, both of which work closely with the operational team and CEO with open and clear lines of communication even between set meetings.
## **Regular Board meetings**
There are Board meetings on a monthly basis, with occasional ad hoc meetings between times. There is a minimum yearly Board meeting schedule of 6 per year, however as an organisation we exceed this, and have in the period of this report have had 12 (with additional meetings also scheduled between).
## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees**
The charity has undertaken a skills audit to identify skills still needed on Trustee Board. Any Trustee identified and who is interested in joining has a Welcome meeting with Chair, where an induction pack is shared and training needs are discussed (including safeguarding, governance, data protection and health and safety).
Complete trustee checks (including DBS where appropriate) and complete eligibility form.
Complete online trustee induction training and induction to the Mind network.
Ability to appoint Trustee is via the Board via election by majority of existing Board.
All trustees have recently undertaken training, and will be continuously developing within their skills over the coming months and years.
## **Major risks and management of those risks**
A Risk Register has been developed and approved by the board, and is reviewed quarterly by the Finance committee.
## **Future Plans:**
In time the organisation is making considerations to branch outside of the MIND federated model in order to operate within a wider demographic. Current federated structures have on occasion been limiting not only in terms on community collaboration (due to the federation terms of agreement and designated domains), but also has been detrimental in access to funds which has been clearly documented in all relevant Board meeting minutes. **Should this move be made, it is foreseen that funding opportunities will be significantly increased and be on benefit to the organisation, and more crucially the people that we serve.**

## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Financial Review**
At the year-end, the charity has funds of £25,295. The charity is in a stable financial position and can currently meet its obligations when they fall due.
## **Reserves**
Any reserves held (restricted funds) are held to enable specific financial commitments to be met on time. The restricted funds were fully spent in the year.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the trustee’s report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdon Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable laws and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## Statement as to disclosure to our auditors:
In so far as the Trustees are aware at the time of approving our Trustees’ annual report:
- there is no relevant information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing their report, of which the group’s auditor is unaware, and
- the Trustees, having made enquiries of fellow directors and the group’s auditor that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BLOOMSPACE FOUNDATION**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The BloomSpace Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of The BloomSpace Foundation you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the The BloomSpace Foundation 's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of The BloomSpace Foundation as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **THE BLOOMSPACE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
The BloomSpace Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Changes in accounting policy**
The accounting policy of the accruals basis has been adopted for these accounts and the comparatives recalculated from the cash basis.
## **Income and endowments**
Voluntary 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.
## **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 performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## **Expenditure**
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 aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## **Charitable 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 activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Page 9
## **THE BLOOMSPACE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. 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 classified 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 as deferred income.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £150.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Computer and office Equipment|3 years S/L|
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, 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.
Page 10
## **THE BLOOMSPACE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Trade creditors**
are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. They are recognised initially at the transaction price.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
