## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
The company is a registered charity and its objectives are:
- (1) To develop and promote cultural activities and educational opportunities by and for the community of West Norfolk, The Brecks and beyond, placing special emphasis on developing the performing and creative arts, working with young people, and in maintaining standards of excellence throughout
- (2) the formation and production of all the performing arts
- (3) to make available land and buildings where the performing arts can be staged and to supervise and control those operations;
- (4) to grant rights to carry out creative and dramatic activities on a self-funding basis at these locations
The charity maintains the property known as Westacre River Studios and Westacre Summer Theatre and grants rights to carry out creative and dramatic activities at these locations in support of its objective.
## **b. Public Benefit Statement**
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Review of activities**
The charity continued to provide education and drama activities through the theatre based in the Westacre River Studios and theatre buildings.
During the year the charity’s income increased from £32,842 to £86,208. In the current year the Charity received a grant amounting to £20,000 from The Norfolk Community Foundation and £2,000 from the Geoffrey Watling Trust towards the cost of installing solar panels and battery storage, a CIL grant of £9,000 from the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk Council towards the cost of a costume storage unit, and a Go Green West Norfolk grant of £8,000 towards the cost of roof insulation. These are included in the restricted grants income figure for the year.

## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025**
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
Expenditure increased slightly from the previous year with an increase of £1,589, to £85,648 (2024: £84,059). This resulted in a a broadly breakeven position for the year with a surplus of £560 for the year (2024: deficit of £51,240).
The charity holds 50% of the share capital, and 60% of the voting rights in Westacre Theatre Company CIC. The charity engages Westacre Theatre Company CIC to look after the day to day operation of the theatre. 25% of the share capital and 20% of the voting rights in Westacre Theatre Company CIC are held by two trustees of the charity.
The charity made donations during the year totalling £39,424 (2025: £37,717) to Westacre Theatre Company CIC which included £26,474 (2024: £17,217) from unrestricted funds to support the running costs of the company. The results of the subsidiary are shown in note 7 and show a net deficit for the year of £15,522. It is likely that the charity will continue to finance the deficit in future years. Further details of the transactions between the two companies are shown in note 14.
## **Financial review**
## **a. Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
## **b. Reserves policy**
The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. This review encompassed the nature of the income and expenditure streams, the need to match variable income with fixed commitments and the nature of the reserves. The Trustees concluded that the charity has sufficient resources and future income streams to cover its ongoing commitment for the foreseeable future.
The Trustees have also reviewed the reserves in line with the Company's commitments in the event of the Company having to cease trading and aim to maintain minimum cash reserves of £15,000.
At 5 April 2025 the charity has unrestricted funds of £598,437 (2024: £36,239) and restricted funds of £20,225 (2024: £581,863). Free reserves were £26,368 at the year end (2024: £36,239).

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Westacre Arts Foundation Limited ('the Company')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 5 April 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Company (and 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 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 Company's accounts 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**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

**WESTACRE ARTS FOUNDATION LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025**
## **1. General information**
Westacre Arts Foundation Ltd is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales, company number 03141293. The registered office is Summerhill House, 1 Sculthorpe Road Fakenham, Norfolk , NR21 9HA.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
Westacre Arts Foundation 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.
The group is classified as small under the Companies Act 2006. As such there is no requirement to prepare consolidated accounts.
## **2.2 Going concern**
The Trustees have considered the charity's position at the time of signing the financial statements, and have concluded that they have a reasonable expectation that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements, they therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
## **2.3 Income**
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

## **WESTACRE ARTS FOUNDATION LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.4 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **2.5 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, with exception of improvements to leasehold properties which are being written off over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
- Short-term leasehold property 2% straight line (50 year lease from 2000) - Office equipment 25% straight line - Fixtures and fittings 10% straight line - Riverside new development Straight line for period of lease - Summer theatre equipment 10% straight line
## **2.7 Investments**
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.8 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.9 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and 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.
## **2.10 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
## **2.11 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
