Kingshill House Limited

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The charity’s objects are to provide a centre accessible to the whole community, such that any prevailing barriers to enjoyment of and participation in education and arts community activities are minimised and eventually removed. The trustees intend that the centre should be the leading cultural provider and promoter in the Dursley and Cam Area.

The company exists to advance the education of the community in the arts and other creative leisure and recreational activities through the provision of an arts and meeting centre at Kingshill House and in so doing to contribute to the continuing maintenance of the House itself as a Grade 2* Listed building.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

The results for the year and the charity’s financial position at the year end are shown in the financial statements.

Those statements show that the critical position that existed in 2022/23 with a deficit of £40,666 has improved but that the charity still had a deficit of £8,501 for 2023/24. This very substantial improvement reflected the implementation of difficult decisions regarding costs and a substantial effort to generate income. Whilst not as good as we would have wished the outcome was broadly consistent with the aspirations for recovery set out in the outline business plan for 2023 - 2026 which envisaged a year of survival in 2023/24, consolidation in 2024/25 and development in 2025/26. The ongoing support of Stroud District Council as the charity’s landlord and through its grant support has been a cornerstone on which to take forward the charity’s plans and that will be further strengthened by the provision of a new Lease and the funding of premises repairs directly by the Council in the current year and beyond.

Although cost pressures and the challenges of increasing income were constant factors through the year, the charity sought to address issues in its structure and governance that would provide a robust platform for development. The Board was strengthened by new trustees bringing very relevant experience in finance and charities; the decision was made to appoint new accountants with specific expertise in the charity sector. The recruitment of new trustees has continued in the current year and our Treasurer has worked closely with our new accountants to ensure that our accounting and reporting systems are appropriate to the management of costs in a relatively small charity and the assessment of plans and performance.

Kingshill House Limited

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

The ongoing programme of classes and workshops was well supported and a programme of varied events were delivered notwithstanding the limitations on our capacity imposed by staffing constraints. Progress was made in beginning the process of introducing volunteer support for events.

Encouraging progress was made in establishing or re-establishing linkages with bodies in the wider local community which had lapsed during or prior to the pandemic, including town and parish councils and local schools. These remain a focus for development as does the provision of facilities in the House for NHS and other community-focussed organisations.

Financial review

The details of the charity’s financial performance are fully set out in the financial statements. As noted above they show a deficit of £8,501 for the year 2023/24. The trustees have projected a continued improvement in the position for 2024/25, without making assumptions about potential grants or sponsorship and addressed the going concern question.

The Trustees recognised that there has been very significant improvement in the overall position of the charity over the period since 2022/23 and are confident that the improvement continues and is reflected in the forecast outturn for the current year. Substantial cost reduction has underpinned that improvement but is now being addressed by a well-supported programme of activities as we seek to generate increased income through broadening the range and reach of the programme and work with other community interests.

In order to seek further assurance in relation to our sustainability as a going concern we have shared our performance and plans with Stroud District Council as our landlords and core grant providers. The Council has indicated its shared commitment to the ongoing development of Kingshill House and its support for our plans by reaffirming its annual core grant support in the coming years and in its providing the charity with a new lease for a seven year period that relieves the charity of the risks and costs of structural repairs and maintenance. That commitment has been endorsed by the Council. We are also actively engaged with the Council in discussion of our marketing plans and resources with a view to maximising their effectiveness.

Reserves policy

The trustees operate a system of funds to cover the core running costs of the House and restricted funds to cover the costs associated with particular activities or projects. The trustees seek to hold a minimum level of funding in reserve. This is determined as 3 months general running costs, which amounts to approximately £40,000.

At 31 March 2024 the unrestricted general reserves were in deficit by £2,352, therefore resulting in a reserves shortfall of £42.3k. Per the financial review above, and note 1(b) to the accounts, the trustees have a plan in place to return the charity to surplus, and work towards reaching this target in a sustainable manner over the coming years.

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Plans for future periods

The trustees are committed to the development of the charity’s activities in the current and coming year. In the course of 2024/25 much work has been focussed on generating potential projects for the enhancement of the House’s facilities to increase the range of creative activities offered and these projects will be taken forward by seeking grant aid or sponsorship in a process led by trustees. Subject to agreement with Stroud District Council in scheduled discussions those projects might also extend to enhancing the House’s attraction and its regular footfall by improved catering facilities. Those discussions are also fundamental to confirmation of the new Lease by both parties.

In making essential cost savings in 2023/24 staffing was reduced to a minimum. That is not compatible with future plans for development, even with trustee and volunteer contributions, and we shall seek to underpin our marketing and sales capabilities as we move forward. We also plan to deliver more events in the coming year, on a full cost recovery or surplus-generating basis, working with both local community bodies as organisers and with commercial agents.

Structure, governance and management

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the management of the charity with the Chair, the Vice-Chair and the Treasurer working through the General Manager in relation to the activities of the charity. The Board meets regularly, generally on a monthly basis, and has access to professional advice through its members’ expertise and its accountants. The Board has created a Risk Register which is reviewed at each Board Meeting consistent with the trustees’ collective responsibility for good corporate governance.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with 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).

Company law 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 income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner's report

To the trustees of

Kingshill House Limited

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Kingshill House Limited (the charitable company) for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 20.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement - matter of concern identified

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:

My examination identified a material uncertainty in relation to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. At 31 March 2024 the charity is in an overall net liability position of £1,602 (compared to net assets of £6,899 in the prior year). The trustees are undergoing contingency planning to generate additional income, and for the reasons set out in accounting policy 1(b), consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of these accounts.

I have no other 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.

Kingshill House Limited

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies

a) General information and basis of preparation

Kingshill House is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is Kingshill House, Kingshill Lane, Dursley, Gloucestershire, GL11 4BZ.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Kingshill House Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b) Going concern basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. The results for the year ended 31 March 2024 show a deficit of £8,501, and net liabilities of £1,602. Since the year end date there has been an improvement in the overall position of the charity, and budgets forecast a breakeven position in 2024/25, with performance to date modestly exceeding the budget, due primarily to substantial cost reduction, in addition to an expansion of the programme of activities.

In order to seek further assurance in relation to our sustainability as a going concern we have shared our performance and plans with Stroud District Council as our landlords and core grant providers. The Council has indicated its shared commitment to the ongoing development of Kingshill House and its support for our plans by reaffirming its annual core grant support in the coming years and in its providing the charity with a new lease for a seven year period that relieves the charity of the risks and costs of structural repairs and maintenance.

For the above reasons, the trustees consider the going concern basis of accounting to be appropriate to adopt for the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of provision of training is deferred until criteria for income recognition are met.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

d) Interest receivable

e) Funds accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Where an employee receives a termination benefit the full cost is recognised at the date the employee is notified.

g) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated to charitable activities on the basis that all raising funds costs have been identified separately.

h) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Fixtures and fittings 3 years straight line

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500.

i) Stock

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

j) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Kingshill House Limited

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued) k) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

l) Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

m) Financial instruments

The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

n) Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.

o) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the year end.

p) Accounting estimates and key judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

There are no key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
