## **CORE ARTS Overview 2023** 

Our members had complex care needs including contact with the criminal justice system, drug and alcohol dependency and homelessness. We have proven in the past 30 years that we are unique in our ability to engage this group, especially young African and Caribbean men who are overrepresented in the mental health services.  In this financial year we had 1500+ individuals adults referred to our service from across 22 London Boroughs. Core’s diversity is clear in our demographics. We have a targeted support program for LGBTQIA+ adults suffering mental health issues. 

Members are referred over the funding annum from NHS contracts. We also supported people to access personal health budgets to support their recovery goals. We also have bespoke program for digital only members with our zoom classes 6 days a week. 

Full reports on other projects for 2023 are downloadable from our website under the publication section. https://www.corearts.co.uk/publications/ 

We focus on the most excluded groups in society and fight to improve their capacity to cope with their mental health, build confidence through creative education and progression pathways to develop the individual through a service user led ethos to allow them greater control over their future. We challenge the negative stereotypes and the stigma facing people with mental health issues by promotion of their positive attributes and strengths. We develop the artistic potential of our learners through high quality education, working alongside established musicians and artists and increase their access to the benefits of the arts. 

Core Art is currently engaging clients on section 117c directly referred by NHS East London Federation Trust with substantial and critical mental health needs, supporting members to be social included in a creative and empowering community alongside accessing opportunities to learning and achievement and advice and guidance. 

Core Arts Service: Core Arts is committed to excellence and innovative responses to health care needs in our community. 

Core Arts is a service user guided organisation, reflected through our board of trustees; in 20222023 we had 69% service users or ex service users on the board. 

Our key responses to our members health needs is to provide a constructive educational environment where they feel safe and empowered to learn and progress. Setting their own creative learning pathways where they are enabled to work in a serious way to achieve their goals. This creates an environment where people termed hard to reach feel ownership and want to attend and progress. Education: CORE provides 97+ creative workshops a week under 5 departments: Art, Music, Sport, Multi-media and Horticulture; to engage our members in lifelong learning and improvement of skills.

Core Arts 

The development of Social Enterprises offers our members supported work experience with alternative business models to allow for periods of ill health. This opens up to them the possibility of future employment. Supporting Social Networks: Core Arts has developed ways to engage with those excluded from society by helping to set up supportive networks for those who face continuous exclusion in their everyday lives. This includes pastoral care with one-to-one support, mentoring and buddy systems. For many of our members Core Arts becomes their family and with that comes all levels of support from emotional to practical. 

The partnership contracts have significantly improved the patient experience of care, especially inpatients or those who are socially isolated. Core Arts has been recognised as a resource by inpatient teams and considered for patients as part of any leave or discharge plan. The service is also easily accessible to persons under high support care coordinators such as the Rehab and Recovery team or Assertive Outreach Service offering a consistent, routine building support service, supporting those who are most disengaged or hard to engage.  It is widely agreed that instant access is crucial when working with clients that have varied momentum and stability. 

## **EVENTS** 

Events: CORE organises an extensive events program and through the year plus educational trips and excursions per year, showcasing our members’ talents and abilities through gigs, exhibitions, poetry readings and conferences.

## **New Projects 2022-23** 

## **Core Arts: three new creative centres for mental health 2022** 

We have a future vision where creative arts education, sport and horticulture are an integrated part of the support offer available for those with severe and enduring mental health conditions and for disadvantaged communities, improving mental health and inclusion for all. To achieve the above, we aim to create a number of flag-ship projects that work alongside our creative award-winning centre in Hackney.  In 2021 and 2022 we began all three projects and look forwards to creating innovative excellent community services in Hackney in 2023 -24. 

## ***NEW* Homerton Community Garden- Core Arts & St Barnabas Terrace Community Garden –** 

Created a new community garden and teaching hub in the heart of Homerton empowering participants to create a safe accessible community space that offers inclusive respite from the urban bustle surrounding it and a resource for green education and vocational pathways into the green sector. To support adults with severe mental ill-health, enhance community cohesion and challenge mental health stigma. Teaching sustainable horticulture, responding to the local need for safe green spaces to increase community wellbeing. Collaboratively transforming 1,276 m2 of underused land behind St Barnabas church E9 into a co-designed and user-led community garden bordering Core Arts’ Creative Education Centre at 1 St Barnabas Terrace. 

Core’s community garden has  enabled greater numbers of people, most adversely impacted by COVID-19, to lead more resilient, creative, and socially connected lives using horticulture, engaging with the natural world within an integrated community setting. Empowering people to impact positively on their environment, and thereby on themselves, to promote recovery and ongoing self-care; using shared common goals to better prepare for future challenges. 

## ***NEW* Core Arts Flag-Ship @ the River Lea** 

A new community creative education facility, open 7 days a week for adults with mental health issues with free long-term mooring on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic site and assistance from our Partners the Canal and Riverside Trust. A place where disadvantaged, marginalized and disabled community can have assisted access to creative timetabled sessions on a refurbished Canal Boat, transformed into an inclusive community hub of creativity and free events. A travelling centre that can go to the point of need using the canal networks in Greater London and adjoining counties. Providing projects at the point of need in a fully equipped boat. 

The new floating Core Arts Flag Ship – offering creative education sessions and events on the canal, 6 days a week, to excluded adults, with a youth focus on 18- to 25-year-olds with mental health issuesPlus opportunities to engage with mainstream venues which they would not be able to access on their own. Developing the self-esteem and progression opportunities of adults who suffer from severe and enduring mental ill health and have very low economic activity and high stigmatisation and marginalisation will be the primary outcome of the project. 

The new boat capital funds have been raised and the boat has been commissioned and the building has started.  We have been piloting the youth classes on the existing canal boat so we are fully ready to start delivery once the new boat is completed.

## ***NEW* *Core Turbine Hall @ Eastway Depot** 

Our vision is for the transformation of the depot from a place of ‘storage’ into a thriving hub of social enterprise enabling local community and voluntary organisations to work collaboratively to deliver a rich package of services that reduce poverty, raise aspirations and increase individual and community wellbeing.   We offer a collaborative service model that begins with co-location, but ends with the delivery of truly integrated services that provide residents in Hackney’s most deprived communities with a menu of health, education, cultural, training, leisure and employment opportunities that can be accessed through the _**Eastway Community Hub.**_ The container spaces are reaching completion and we have begun to rent the spaces to community groups and we have started to advertise the rentals for the large Depot building the Turbine Hall to create new earned income for the charity.

## **Partnership** 

As an organisation we can evidence 30 years of partnership working with the NHS, the Homerton Hospital, John Howard Centre (MSU) and CMHT’s across London. We have been jointly commissioned to work constructively within the borough aims and providing services to those who are hard to engage and particularly vulnerable due to their mental health support needs.  Core Arts is an attractive service to persons who experience mental health issues, promoting positive mental health through creativity and the arts by providing a non-clinical, motivational and strengths focussed environment. 

Core Arts - learning and education environment for persons with severe and enduring mental health needs, who have significant health problems limiting their ability to engage with mainstream opportunities of education.  The service provides creative sessions and workshops/ courses in a nonclinical environment likened to a creative arts college whilst the patient is undergoing inpatient treatment or under CPA. The service works with patients that are difficult to engage in any activities, may reject a mental health diagnosis/ service and are especially versed at engaging those from the medium secure unit John Howard Centre and Wolfson House and work closely with mental health NHS staff to provide a treatment plan which includes meaningful occupation/ structured use of time and increased self-awareness/quality of life. 

## **Evidence and Outcome based** 

The service is in very close proximity to all inpatient mental health services in Hackney (including TCOS) and offers choice and control to those with limited choice regarding vital aspects of their immediate environment and engagement with mental health services. The service plays a vital role in social support systems, relationships and risk management as well as encouraging other social roles and responsibilities through improving motivation; self- esteem and strengths orientated goal setting.   The service is supportive and psychologically informed however, promotes boundaries with expectations that patients will conform to a mainstream setting and are therefore able to demonstrate this as part of their recovery. 

Core Arts has a significant role to play in a person’s self-management and promoting independence and discharge from services. Core Arts has a numerous case studies, which can evidence the impact the service has had on individuals and their recovery and map the client development with reviews and self- assessment (including evidence-based reporting). 

Particularly evidenced in the following areas: -Identity in mental health and recovery -Improve engagement with NHS resources (appropriate use of clinical services) 

-Self-esteem and confidence/survivor stories 

-Increase social network and support through social events and participation 

-Peer support and promote positive mental health through talent and inspiring networks 

-Promotes the use of creativity and the arts in long term wellbeing 

-Access to learning and education and move on pathways 

-Motivation for life-long learning and adult education and skills.

Core Arts 

-Activities and peer support whilst on the ward as part of treatment plan 

- -Improved quality of life and access to opportunities 

- -Increase in discharges from ward/ sections/CPA and reduce likelihood of admission 

The service currently works in partnership with the ELFT and the CCG, specifically the Occupational Therapy (OT) departments at the Homerton Centre for Mental Health (inpatients) and discharge planning including CPA as well as the specialist community mental health teams in the borough (AOS/ R&R/ EQUIP) and locality teams.  Core Arts is also a subcontracted partner of the City and Hackney Wellbeing Network, a service aimed at persons who have experienced moderate to severe mental health issues and which to access support services to support their wellbeing and recovery. Core Arts has established new referral routes through this pathway alongside a new programme geared towards sports and health achievements. These new contracts have engaged the primary care support teams, such as GP’s and therapy departments referring to Core Arts. 

The main aim of the service is to provide a real life, adult environment and support skill development in order to enable patients to regain self-esteem, promote social norms and encourage move on to mainstream education, progression or work activities and sustained achievement through a better sense of identity and acceptance of mental illness (through breaking down internal stigma). 

Core Arts appeals to service users who do not traditionally engage in mental health services; therefore, we reach persons who may otherwise not engage. Based in Hackney where the level of mental health service needs, as concluded by the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health, is 87% above the national average. 

We consider the following outcomes: 

- Connecting with others: Core Arts provides those who are experiencing mental health issues and at risk for social exclusion an opportunity to interact with others who have had similar experiences and to build relationships with them. A necessary support system can be established here - especially for those who do not have social support systems (or family) in place. 

- Peer support and mentoring: the emphasis on creative expression, progression and learning through creative activity allows members creative freedom to regain confidence and reconstruct own identity as an artist/competent individual. 

- Skill Development/access to learning: Creative skill development is the main focus at Core Arts and establishes human capital (self-investment/own assets/strengths) for each member. Learning and skill development, completion of projects & goals can continue regardless of mental health difficulties.  Engagement in the creative process encourages skill development in cognitive process as well, such as planning, decision-making, problem solving etc. 

- Self-esteem building: In addition to skill development, social factors, such as the support and affirmation from tutors as one’s artwork/composition is appreciated, encourages improvements in the member’s self-perception and beliefs about their potential and actualise/realise achievements. 

- Development of artist identity (changing the label): The opportunities for creative skill development and the validation of ability. 

- Bridging Opportunities: Members are able to take on greater responsibility through volunteering positions at Core Arts, work training and build employable skills. They are also able to establish relationships with the community through the exhibitions and event opportunities made available

As an extension of the psychiatric units and NHS provision in Hackney for 25 years, we have offered community involvement to those who might otherwise not be able. We have a consultant psychiatrist as trustee on the board and act as a base for patients on s.17 on leave from hospital.  Naturally we support the CPA document for many areas including activities and learning as well as a risk management plan. We engage those who are considered the most vulnerable and those unable or unwilling to engage elsewhere. 

Core Arts users are not obliged to use the service, the service is available to those who choose it as part of their treatment/self-management; many case studies provide insight into the impact of the service on individuals who manage their mental health. 

Service users progress through further education in mainstream settings and discharge from secondary care services (to GP support) and many volunteer within the service to support the recovery of others or gain skills in which they teach others (peer support).

## **Volunteer programme** 

Core Arts has a tried and tested volunteer programme in which there are levels of service engagement, peer support and volunteers that assist tutors to plan and run sessions, become trained tutors (PTTLS) and deliver workshops. Core Arts also facilitates volunteering as peer leaders, such as running the core council or leading the weekly tours. Volunteers can choose to get expenses or they can access more workshops for their invested time (time bank) Core Arts also promotes management opportunities and 60% of the trustee board are current or ex members of Core Arts. Through the experience of responsibilities, job profiles and expectations (including the code of respect) patients are able to use their experiences to apply for further opportunities and develop CV’s alongside their ability and confidence. Core Arts workforce and staffing relies upon peer membership and supportive members to engage new members, and promote and inspire recovery and ability.

## OBJECTIVE 2 

ØTo develop the artistic and creative potential of our service users and increase their access to the benefits of the arts. 

## Non Remit Clients 

•15% discretion is applied by Core Arts for persons who display a high level of skill or added value whose presence at the centre is beneficial to service user experience and the organisation (role model for new members/peer support element). This percentage/allowance also includes a small number of persons who may otherwise fall through the gap, as they are unconventional or find it difficult to conform/express themselves and are considered socially isolated, excluded and vulnerable by the health services, i.e. their GP. 

## OBJECTIVE 3 

ØTo expand and develop Social Firms and Social Enterprises in order to 1Increase service users’ confidence and self-esteem through their engagement with a practical working enterprise 

2To increase the service users’ employability 

3To generate income for Core Arts to enable the organisation achieve its charitable aims and objectives 

Associated social enterprises and social firms continue to be actively encouraged by Core Arts with the following objectives in mind: 

- To provide members with a bridge to the outside world. It can be hard for members who have lost confidence through mental health issues to launch back into the community. The experience of building and working for a social business in a supportive environment can be an excellent way to start to gain self-esteem and experience. 

- To challenge prejudice. Challenging prejudice about mental health issues is central to the ethos of Core Arts. The development of successful social businesses by Core Arts members contributes to this mission. 

16 | P a g e 



Core Arts 

- To encourage ownership and responsibility. 

   - Part of the road to recovery for those who suffer from mental health issues is to take responsibility and to feel involved in something where individual contributions count. Associated small businesses can provide exactly this, with members being encouraged to pursue their ideas with the support of Core Arts. 

- Maintaining focus on the central work of Core Arts. Core Arts is committed to providing creative activities and structured support programmes to help its members. Associated social businesses are created as legally and financially autonomous organisations. Core Arts will therefore be protected from any risk of these ventures. Also, the time devoted by Core Arts in supporting these ventures is limited and appropriately managed. 

- To gain income for Core Arts. 

In some (but not all) cases, associated businesses can provide income for Core Arts. Also, the existence of some of these associated businesses will help publicise the work of Core Arts, making the task of fundraising easier.

## **2. Core Design** 

## Based at Core Arts www.coredesignlondon.co.uk 

•Established in 1999: This social enterprise exists to provide excellent graphic design services, for example brochures, flyers, posters, logos, websites and annual reports. Core Design attracts many repeat jobs from satisfied clients and, in a highly competitive industry, turning in a good profit is an excellent result. Profits go back to Core Arts. 

•Where possible and reasonable, Core Design aims to provide members of Core Arts with work experience. Members of Core Arts are paid for their artwork, photography and for reviewing documentation. Core Design also provides graphic design work for Core Arts at cost. Core Design supports the mission of Core Arts by raising awareness of the centre’s work through its clients, and thereby improving Core’s links with other organisation’s. 

## OBJECTIVE 4 

ØTo expand the strategic and operational management capacity to ensure that the organisation is fit for purpose. 

- We have continued to be competitive and innovative in these challenging times for community social health and wellbeing services. This is partly reflected in the increase in referrals from across London, from boroughs where they have no comparable service. Currently 22 boroughs refer. We also believe that our flexible approach to each members application and the bespoke funding package they bring, increasingly makes us an attractive service for support workers and case managers, who are themselves still learning how to best to promote and support personal budgets in mental health. 

As this success in attracting membership has currently been built on word of mouth we have decided to invest, over the coming years, in promoting our service to potential membership from across the neighbouring boroughs. Not only do we know there is a demand for what we offer but there is also the mechanisms for gaining access to Personal Budgets to buy the service.

Core Arts 

- Continued Professional Development is integral and embedded in all our Trustees, staff and volunteer support.  We continue to develop our staff skills both internally and externally though appropriate training and peer mentoring. 

- The senior management team has been preparing the organization for tender readiness and will continue review and refine policies and procedures to ensure no opportunity is missed. 

- Our volunteers program numbers over 140 yearly. These are externally recruited, qualified creative professionals offering their skills and experience free to support our service delivery, enhancing and expanding our client’s opportunities and learning in the creative fields. 

- Our intern placement program places university students   from UK Universities and from abroad in our creative centre as tutor assistants, giving them valuable work experience . 

Directors 

The following served as directors during the year covered by these accounts: Vivienne Havell Gary Paul Molloy  - Resigned on 14 June 2023 Stuart Edward Glyn Jones Mark Steven Salter Shaun Adams Ellen Faith Willetts 

The directors at the time the financial statements were approved are as follows: 

Vivienne Havell Stuart Edward Glyn Jones Mark Steven Salter Shaun Adams Ellen Faith Willetts 

Directors’ Responsibilities 

The charity trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period.  In preparing these financial statements, the directors 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; 

19 | P a g e 



Core Arts 

- •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 company will continue to provide services. 

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Company Act 2006.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for 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 United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

In so far as the directors are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the company’s auditors in connection with preparing their report) of which the company’s auditors are unaware, and 

- the directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditors are aware of that information 

## **Financial Review** 

The principal funding sources of the charity during the reporting period are as detailed in Note 4 of the accounts. These sources include earned contracts, donations, grants, and fundraising activities, all of which have been vital in supporting the charity's mission and programs. 

These funds have been utilised to support the key objectives of the charity, as detailed in the Trustees' Report. The resources have been allocated to various programs and activities that align with the charity's mission, ensuring the effective achievement of its goals. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

As of 31st March 2023, total funds amounted to £2,230,836 (2022: £2,260,926), as detailed in Note 16 of the accounts. 

The Trustees have carefully reviewed the budgets for the 2023/24 financial year, including the reserves and secured income. They have determined that there is sufficient funding in place to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. 

**A designated reserve of £210,000,** which represents four months of our yearly expenditure is held to enable the orderly closure of the charity should this become necessary.  If, in the unlikely eventuality that Core Arts had to close, four months salaries and running costs are sometimes used by charities as a reasonable figure to provide an orderly closure of the project. 

As at 31 March 2023 there were free **unrestricted reserves of £216,378** which will be used to support the organisation’s future activities. 

20 | P a g e 



Core Arts 

## ñDecision Making 

The directors meet about once every 2 months to review the progress of the charity and to make any decisions that are needed to keep Core Arts in pursuit of its objectives.  A manager and development director are appointed by the directors to manage the day-to-day running and development of the charity.  In turn, the development director and manager appoint staff and volunteers to further the work of Core Arts.  In addition, Core Council, a group of members of the charity, meet about once every 2 weeks to discuss the progress of Core Arts and to make recommendations to the directors and managers. 

## **Organisational Structure and Key Management Personnel** 

The CEO reports to the Chair of Core Arts, who is responsible for convening Board meetings and ensuring correct governance of the charity with other Trustees. The Chair is also responsible for appraising the performance of the CEO and Trustees. 

The SORP considers the key management personnel of the charity to be those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the charity, directly or indirectly. The Trustees consider that the Core Arts Board of Trustees and the CEO are Key Management Personnel of the charity. 

The pay of the CEO is reviewed annually by the Chair and benchmarked to similar posts within the sector. 

Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note twenty to the financial statements. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the CEO and, in accordance with the charities policy, withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises. 

Directors Selection Method 

The trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting and any other time when a vacancy arises. The tenure of office is from date of appointment to the next Annual General Meeting. 

New Trustees are inducted by the Chair, Vice- Chair, CEO and Deputy CEO and Finance and offered training as necessary. The Board meets at least six times a year. Day-today management of the charity has been delegated to the CEO. The CEO is supported by staff and volunteers, if applicable, and a scheme of delegation is in place. 

## Risk Review 

Financial – Core Arts continues to increase its annual income and expenditure, hence the potential to increase the risk of financial mismanagement is obvious. 

In order to address this situation, the post of Finance Worker has been created.  The main aim of this worker is to reduce or eliminate the risk by implementing financial systems and to report to the Management and Director on the financial state of Core Arts. 

21 | P a g e 



Core Arts 

Service delivery – As Core Arts has increased, the number of workshops it runs have also increased. It means we must have and continue to develop a sound approach to service delivery.  This is accomplished by training for staff, volunteers and members to ensure that standards are maintained and improved. 

## **Key aims for 2023/24** 

- consolidating the recent growth of the organisation. 

- creating a series of spaces for our members. 

- Develop and deliver a refreshed membership offer for individuals. 

## Auditors

Core Arts 

## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Core Arts 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Core Arts (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities ,Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 March  2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Trustees, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the  Report of the Trustees have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

23 | P a g e 



Core Arts 

## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Core Arts 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Report of the Trustees. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Group Strategic Report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page nineteen, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the Company and the sector in which they operate. 

We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct impact material effect on the financial statements, or the operations of the company which included the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; 

- Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; 

- Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls; 

- Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates; 

- Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. 

- Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud; 

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to involve the completeness and timing of income recognition and the override of controls by management. 

To address the risk of fraud in relation to revenue recognition, we: 

- Performed detailed substantive testing to address completeness and accuracy of income; 

- Assessed the appropriateness and application of the accounting policy concerning income recognition; and 

- Performed detailed cut-off testing either side of the balance sheet date. 

Core Arts 

24 | P a g e 



## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Core Arts 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

-Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

-Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular those with unusual account combinations, unusual words or unusual users 

-Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; 

-Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
