THE RONDO TRUST FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED

31 July 2021

Charity No. 1000051

The trustees present their report for the year to 31 July 2021

OBJECTS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The Rondo Trust for The Performing Arts is a body set up by a deed on 27 July 1990 (amended by deed on 17 August 2009). The objects of the trust are to educate the public in the performing arts, in par�cular by the promo�on and produc�on of plays and the encouragement of the arts including the arts of drama, mime, dance, singing and music for the benefit of the public.

The main ac�vi�es undertaken by the trust are the promo�on of performances at the Rondo Theatre by both amateur and professional ar�sts, and suppor�ng the Rondo Music and Concert Club, the Rondo Theatre Company, the Rondo Writers Group, the Rondo Actors Workshops, and childrens theatre groups.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

TRUSTEES

The trustees serving during the year are listed in the Administra�on report on page 1.

APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES

New trustees may be appointed by a resolu�on of the trustees.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The trustees report that the Trust has successfully weathered the storm created by the Covid crisis and is in good shape. The trustees are looking forward to a successful future. The trustees are grateful for the support of the Arts Council, Bath & North East Somerset Council, and everyone who donated to the Appeal for Funds ini�ated in March 2020. During the year the Trust received £45,000 as a grant from the Arts Council, various grants from Bath & North East Somerset Council totalling £18,636 and a total of £16,203 from the public appeal made in March 2020. The Trust has also received dona�ons from individuals through the Rondo Lover scheme, and other schemes as listed in note 3 to the accounts.

The trustees con�nue to ensure that the Rondo Theatre is well maintained.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As a consequence of the Covid crisis the ac�vi�es of the Trust were halted in March 2020 and only resumed in July 2021. Good management and the grants and dona�ons received have enabled the Trust to look forward to pursuing its objec�ves successfully in the coming months and years.

Reserves. It is the policy of the trustees to maintain reserves sufficient to ensure the con�nued successful opera�on of the theatre and its ac�vi�es. The trustees consider that the reserves held are appropriate to pursue the objects and ac�vi�es of the trust.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees monitor the risks to the organisa�on on a regular basis. They are sa�sfied that systems are in place to minimise or mi�gate these.

TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are required to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the trust and of the surplus or deficit for that year. In preparing those accounts the trustees are required to:

1) Select suitable accoun�ng policies and apply them consistently.

2) Make judgements and es�mates that are reasonable and prudent.

3) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will con�nue in opera�on.

The trustees are responsible for the keeping of proper accoun�ng records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any �me the financial posi�on of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the preven�on and detec�on of fraud and other irregulari�es.

The trustees consider that the audit requirement of sec�on 144 of the Chari�es Act 2011 does not apply.

VOLUNTEERS

The trust con�nues to rely on volunteers who support the staff employed by the trust. The volunteers make the Rondo the success that it is and the trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their con�nued support.

THE RONDO TRUST FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER FOR THE YEAR ENDED

31 July 2021

Report of The Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the Rondo Trust for the Performing Arts. Charity Number 1000051.

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended

31 July 2021

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

 examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

 the accounts did not comply with the applicable 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 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.
