Report Of The Directors
For The Year Ended 31st August 2023
Chalzman's report 2023
The Trustee Directors present their report together vith the accounts for
the Company Eor the year ended 315t August 2023.
GOVERNANCE
The Trust is newly governed by the 'Model Imemoranduwt and Articles of
Association as recommended by The Charity Commission for a Company Limited
by Cuazantee. This vas adopted at a special EGM on 17th Febtuary 2011 and
accepted by Companies House on 12th Septetnbei 2011. The Trustees Directors
at 31st August 2023 were Messis Latus Icliaiimanl, Baldvin. Bennett, Brown
and Gattrell Ihereaf ter the Trustees ).
Trustees serve for three years after which they retire and are eligible for
re-election. The TIu5tees are tasked with recommending to the Annual General
Meeting of the Trust as to vho should be appointed as Trustees.
Trustees are given induction in tPieiT responsibilitie5 at the outset of
their terrn of office and any other issues are brought to thpir attention
Erom time to tiTre. The trust operated its main activities via its trading
arm Regis Centre Limited from 28th August 2007 to 31st August 2015.
That company had one Trustee as one of the Trustees as it5 director.
That director was not remunerated. Frorn 1st September 2015 the co]np&ny
carried out its main activitles itself under the direction nf the trustees.
There. are no relationships with related parties.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Company is a registered charity number 1061163 and Ilrnited by Guarantee
number 03239942. Its principal activities in the year under review continued
to be the provision of live entertainment
uqic and arts £or Bognor Regis
and its environs. The Company operate5 uniier an underlease granted to it in
August 1996 by Whitbread Pic which iuns to August 2046.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The uncertalnty regarding regeneration proposals for Bognor Regis and
the Alexandra Theatre continued with the Regis Centre being a key site.
The Trustee5 felt it was imperative ve must guard our Lease and keep the
slte updateLI and In order and professionally run as far as we aze able
within the conf nes OE our budgets until Arun District Council took over
that responsibi l ity.
Following the succe55 of the Levelling Up Fund Submission the building was
closed for major reEurbishment in May last year. We coi)tinued hirlng out
the studios until July and from then on started packing eveEything in the
bullding ready to vacate trhe premises When required. Everything iiow
Iesldes in storage Eacllitles in Littleha]npton and at Regis Removals.

Report Of The Directors Icontinuedl
For The Year Ended 31st August 2023
We have temporary office facilitles adjoining the Boqnor Town Hall and
are still running a box office for the 2 o'clock Club on the flrst Tuesday
of every month. An afternoon vlth the London Phillharmonic Orchestra on
18th June has been arranged. Our plan5 to Ilse the rooms in our temporary
office space Eoi a small performance 49nd meeting place came to nothing
as It proved to not bp 5Ultable.
We have been having coffee mornings to stay in touch vlth our much valued
volunteers with thanks to Jo ana Caroline Eor the organisat:on. Thank you
also to the volunteeis who are still manning the box office on a regular
basis.
As zegards the building vork I am given to understand that the enabling
work will start in July and the demoli5hment in late August. I join the
online Project Management Board which in addltlon to Arun Arts,
consl.8ts
of representatives from ADC and others and gets together every Trnnth for
updates on the building progress. As thlngs stand at the mo]nent the
builders are estimating a finishing date of autumn next year.
am very
dubious that th13 vlll be the case ana I suspect the opening date is more
likely to be spring 2026. By that date ve will have been c105ed foz 2 years
with minlscule income in that period and prloi. With the probable
uncertainty of the exact date OE reopeninu it will cause huge problems with
prograrnming which should really be startlng in spLing next year. Let US
hope that this vill become clearer a5 time qoes on.
here. is no doubt that the new building will present us with diffeIent but
exciting challenges. There are clearly going to be Issues surrounding
fittinq5 Out Costs to reopen and also ongoing running costs
The levelling
Up Funding of £12 million plus ADCIS contribution of £3 million will not
cover all the costs involved in getting the building tit to open.
addition we have a bigger building to run and this. of course, is going to
translate into more money needing to be spent. Arun Arts have li]llited Eund5
these being rnore limlted than anticlpated due to the continual moving of
the closure date of the theatre
vhich meant we were sczatching around to
fill dates having IoJt regulai booking5 to other venue5.
It is clear that
for Arun Art5 to continue as operatoIs of the nev buiiaing fund iaising
will be necessary.
The Trustees vould like to thank Arun District Council for providing funds
to cover our on going zunning c05t from December 2023 very much appreclated
Thls genezosity along with ouz many wonderful volunteers who glve freely
of their time helps enormou51y across the board.
The board is coThmitted to continue vorking hard representing ouz members
and fulfilling the charities main objective of tuiining a theatre.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

**Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees** Arun Arts Company Limited **On accounts for the year** August 2023 **Charity no** 1061163 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1 to 20 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[st] August 2023 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of  the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of 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 Act. 

**Independent** [The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified Bookkeeper for over 20 Years _._ 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- 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 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.
