ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Courtyard Arts enables local people to study, appreciate and practice art. We know that
this improves their physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing and leads to more enriched
lives. We see ourselves as being at the centre of the local arts community and our raison
d'étre is to bring art to anyone who benefits from it.
The Centre has 8 regular stewards, and an additional 13 ad hoc stewards, ensuring the
Centre can open between 1 Oam and 4pm Tuesday to Saturday. We are grateful to all
our volunteers who have continued to offer invaluable help. Without them, we would not
be able to operate. We support local artists and makers by selling their work in our shop.
We have 19 members of teaching staff, including Claire Franks and Maddy Durbin, who
delivered children's workshops in the holiday periods and Melinda Scarborough. who
has taught Jewellery making workshops throughout the year. All tutors are all highly
experienced in their own fields across many disciplines and the majority hold formal
teaching qualifications. Our teaching standards are high and compare very favourably
with other providers in the area. All staff and tutors have the opportunity for an
appraisal. attend tutor meetings and are DBS checked.
Classes have continued to be highly popular with both adults and children. Most are full.
with some classes having people on a waiting list who were able to fill any available
spaces straight away. Particularly popular areas are fused glass. ceramics, acrylic and
watercolour painting.
We continue to run a full home education class, which is a valuable resource to those
parents who are home educating in our community.

CONTINUED
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE- continued
We have replaced the lighting in the Ceramic Studio, making a much brighter space to
work in. A custom-made extractor hood has been added to the Ceramic Studio to
improve the extraction of fumes from the kiln when it is on. This has dramatically
improved the air quality in the studio. Splashbacks have been added behind the pottery
wheels and a socket has been moved to accommodate this. A timer was added to the
irrigation system in the garden. The WIFI system has been upgraded.
RESERVES
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves
of the charity, at a level which enables the charity to meet its management and
administration costs as they fall due. The Trustees have assessed the level of net
current assets required in the form of unrestricted funds to be £10.000. They have
therefore set up a Development Fund to hold the balance of the net current assets,
amounting £29,328 at 31 March 2025 (2024: £28,467). The charity also holds a legacy
of £10,000 received during 2022 which is included in designated funds as a Legacy
Fund.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees are aware of the requirements under SORP 2005 to identify and mitigate
major risks faced by the organisation and are adopting appropriate policies to reduce
exposure to those risks.
ASSETS AND OBLIGATIONS
The net assets of the company are available and adequate to fulfil its
obligations.
INVESTMENT POWERS
Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to
make any investments, which the trustees see fit.

THE COURTYARD ARTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE COURTYARD ARTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE
I report to the trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose of company law) on my
examination of the financial statements of The Courtyard Arts and Community Centre
('the charitable company,) for the year ended 3151 March 2025 which comprise the
statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section
145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the
charity's trustees those matters l am required to state to them in this report and for no
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body. for
my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of charitable company you are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the
2006 Act,).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not
required to be audited under Part 16 of the Act and are eligible for independent
examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company's financial
statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 <'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 2011 Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be
required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor
considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of
an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide.
Consequently. l express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a 'true
and fair. view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent
examiner's statement.

THE COURTYARD ARTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE COURTYARD ARTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE
CONTINUED
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..
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required
by section 386 of the 2006 Act., or
> the financial statements do not accord with those records- or
> the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section
396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give
a 'true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent
examination. or
> the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods
and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and
reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance
with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102)
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 financial statements to be reached.
