TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 1 March 2021 to 28 February 2022. 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 objects of the charity are to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for the recreational, educational, cultural, artistic or other leisure pursuits in the interest of the social welfare of the inhabitants of Bungay and surrounding communities. In addition to these objectives, the maintenance and improvement of the Grade 2 listed Georgian building, and its continued use for its original purpose as a theatre, are key aims of the trustees.

.

b. Vision and Objectives

The original vision of the founding trustees, i.e. to revive the building as a viable arts and theatre centre, has been achieved but the building has now become much more than just a theatre and has developed into an integral part of the community’s fabric. Accordingly the vision is now to become one of the best arts and theatre centres in its class in the country, with the key objective of providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for the recreational, educational, cultural, artistic or other leisure pursuits in the interest of the social welfare of the inhabitants of Bungay and surrounding communities. To facilitate this, the trustees have identified the following strategic objectives:

c. Main activities undertaken to further the Company's purposes for the public benefit

The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. The activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit are described within achievements and performance.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

Objectives and activities (continued)

d. Management and staffing

As reported last year, the trustees undertook an exhaustive recruitment process to find a new theatre manager and Ben Blyth started in his new role in mid-August. Until his recruitment, the theatre was managed by the Herculean efforts of Operations Manager, Cory Minns, and theatre assistant, Dan Millar, who combined operations with programming and keeping the theatre open. Our cleaner Nicola Eastaugh left us in July to take up another position and was replaced by Blake Rackham. Unfortunately, following a period of compassionate leave, Dan Millar resigned in January and Niamh Smyth and Kate Jackson filled the void with part time work as and when required.

The trustees are deeply grateful to all the staff for all their efforts during periods of great uncertainty and change, especially to Cory and Dan as they combined their various duties with inducting Ben in his new role.

e. Volunteers

The trustees kept in touch with the volunteers throughout the lock-down and are very grateful to the many who have returned to the theatre to assist in its everyday running. It’s difficult to put a value on their work in the box office, behind the bar and in the auditorium but, suffice to say, without them we just couldn’t operate. Thank you all.

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

Following the fallow operational year of 2020-21, during which the trustees took advantage of the theatre closure to enhance the building with a new lift, refurbished toilets at the back of the building and a new floor in the bar, 2021-22 started with the country in lock-down again and no performances allowed. The trustees were, as always, grateful to the regular STARS donors for their continued support and, also, to East Suffolk Council, which made a number of grants available to the theatre.

Performances were allowed to restart in July and ticket sales increased slowly as the public became accustomed to its regained freedom and gradually developed the confidence to gather inside buildings. This confidence was facilitated by the considerable efforts of the staff to make the building as Covid-safe as possible. The trustees took the decision to under-write the costs of the annual pantomime and Upshoot, once again, delivered the seasonal fare to much acclaim, which helped to boost ticket sales for the year to £60k., lower than usual but encouraging given the circumstances.

b. Operations

Following the period of lock-down and the necessary cessation of some regular services, these have been restarted and the building is back to normal operations but with Covid precautions in place in order to ensure maximum safety for staff and patrons.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

Financial review

a. Going concern

As noted in the Reserves Policy, the free cash reserves currently held by the company will allow the theatre to continue its operations for at least six months and the latest cash flow forecast indicates keeping cash positive until the back end of 2023. Nevertheless, the trustees are acutely conscious of the need to maximise income from every source as the country faces the most difficult trading conditions experienced in recent years. To that end they will examine every possible avenue of grant funding, corporate sponsorship, donations and other income, in addition to challenging all costs, particularly the very high energy costs brought about by the supply constraints caused by the war in Ukraine and other factors. Should it become necessary, the trustees will consider limiting opening hours to minimise costs, while allowing the theatre to maintain as full a programme as possible to generate income. Taking these factors into account, 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

It is the charity’s policy to maintain, as far as is possible, sufficient reserves to meet day to day requirements for a period of six months. The charity's free reserves (unrestricted funds excluding those held as fixed assets) amounted to £46,773 at the year end.

At the time of writing (Oct 2022), cash reserves exceeded £60,000 which will more than enable the charity to meet day-to-day spending for six months in line with our target. Current trading conditions, particularly the rise in energy costs and other costs, will make it challenging to increase the reserves in the near term. We continue to look for all opportunities to increase cashflow through operational initiatives and grant funding and will do everything possible to minimise costs.

c. Finance Review

Finance operations, which had been moved off-site during the lock-down, returned to the theatre and normal processes were resumed in the office. Given the constraints on generating income, the theatre ate into its financial reserves in order to keep functional and was fortunate that the grants that had been obtained during 2020-21 were sufficiently robust to keep the theatre afloat. Whilst this has given us some comfort, the trustees are acutely conscious of the need to generate operational income so that we can maintain a substantial cash reserve to see us through future periods of operational uncertainty.

d. Investment powers and policy

Under the Memorandum of Association, the Trustees have the power to make any investments which have board approval.

e. Principal funding

Under normal circumstances the theatre relies on self-generated funds to finance its day-to-day operations in the absence of on-going revenue grant funding. Following the lock-down, during which the principal funding sources were grants which Sandra Cox had diligently pursued, the trustees are looking to rebuild operational income flows but are conscious that these will need to be supplemented by grant income until the theatre can operate on a normal basis.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

Structure, governance and management

a. Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. At its Annual General Meeting in February 2016 the company adopted new Articles of Association which have been registered with and accepted by the Charity Commission.

b. Governance

Whilst the management team has responsibility for the day-to-day running of the building and all the activities therein, the Trustee Directors are accountable for the successful operation and financial viability of the business. Two trustees stood down during the year. Clare Richardson, who had master-minded the Cinema and Create programme, resigned owing to work pressure and Sandy Selwyn, who managed corporate sponsorships and provided valuable business experience, stood down owing to family commitments. Both were key members of the Fisher Future-proofing fundraising initiative and both are sorely missed.

Two new Trustee Directors, Darren France and Nicholas Usherwood, were elected at the AGM on 6th June, and John Putman and Sandra Cox stood down by rotation and were re-elected. The directors are keen to recruit new trustees who can add their key skills to those of the existing members, particularly in areas such as Human Resources and Business Development.

The board continues to be acutely aware of its responsibilities in respect of compliance, not only with the relevant requirements of the Companies Act and the Charities Commission, but also child protection, health and safety, equal opportunities and data protection.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for the company’s activities and meets at least once a month in person or virtually to review and discuss strategic and operational issues and finances. The Board delegates authority to the management team to manage the day-to-day issues and team of volunteers upon which the theatre depends.

The Operations Manager is responsible for the day-to-day running of the building, staffing and activities and the Programme Manager is responsible for the development and implementation of the theatre’s programme.

d. Policies adopted for the recruitment, appointment, induction and training of Trustees

Trustees were originally selected on the basis of their involvement in the formation of the charity. Subsequently Trustees were invited where it was considered that their experience or standing in the community would benefit the charity and its aims. With the adoption of the revised Articles of Association, any member is entitled to be a Trustee, subject to nomination by two members and approval at a General Meeting of the Company. The board may co-opt members as necessary.

Trustees are expected to know or be briefed on their legal obligations under charity and company law and committee decision-making processes.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

Structure, governance and management (continued)

e. Risk management

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The Trustees have discussed the requirements of a risk strategy and believe they have adequate methods of monitoring and controlling the financial, statutory, legal and operational risks applicable to the charity.

Plans for future periods

The vision of the company remains to be one of the best small arts, theatre and community venues in the country. This embraces making use of all parts of and maintaining the historic building, providing a wide-ranging artistic programme, engaging with the local community and being a key contributor for well-being in the area, whilst ensuring the long-term financial viability of the business and maintaining stability by on-going fund-raising from all available resources. The strategic aims are facing severe headwinds in the current financial climate, as the theatre is not immune from rising staff costs in the entertainment industry, spiralling energy costs and general inflationary pressures. In view of this, a detailed grant application has been made to the National Lottery Community Fund to provide for a better resourced staff structure, meeting increased energy costs, implementing environmental measures and meeting other overheads. Whilst this application is being considered, the trustees are actively seeking ways to minimise cost levels and maximise income from all sources.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Bungay Arts and Theatre Society ('the Company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 28 February 2022.

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.

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's 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 Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

BUNGAY ARTS AND THEATRE SOCIETY

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

1. General information

The company is a company limited by guarantee (company no. 03313901, registered Engaland & Wales). The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the company.

The registered office is 10 Broad Street, Bungay, Suffolk, NR35 1EE.

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.

Bungay Arts and Theatre Society 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.

2.2 Going concern

The nature of the company's business is such that the Charity relies heavily upon funding from theatre admissions which has been disrupted due to restrictions imposed in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Proactive and vigorous fundraising activity continues to form a major aspect of core activities. The trustees are diligently monitoring the situation over the course of the current year by meeting and reporting on a monthly basis.

On the basis of this cash flow information and the actual trading results in the current year, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

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.

Income is recognised on ticket sales once the performance has taken place, until the performance any income is deferred.

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.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Page 12

BUNGAY ARTS AND THEATRE SOCIETY (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

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 raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

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 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.

At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Freehold property - 2% straight line
Property restoration and - 2% straight line
renovation
Plant and machinery - 3.33% straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 15% reducing balance

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

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 Financial instruments

The 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 measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.12 Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year.

2.13 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.
