Trustees’ Report
Objectives, strategies and activities
This year. was a challenging year of change and transition for the charity. The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd was due to close for a period of redevelopment and refurbishment of our Grade II listed building in Spring/Summer 2025. This follows on from an extensive period of consultation with volunteers, comprehensive planning with the building's owner, and commisioning of a feasibility study to assess redevelopment of the site of our Grade Il listed building.
The Charity prepared to wind down activities for the limited period of closure. Sadly, the owner of the building died in December 2024 and the planned refurbishment and redevelopment was not able to go ahead.
As of December 2024, following the death of the owner, the Grade II listed building where the charity has been based for the past 35 years is now in a process of probate and the continuance of the charity is now uncertain. For over 30 years, the charity has been led by Manager Larry watson. Larry watson announced his retirement in September 2024. Larry stayed on as Manager in a voluntary capacity to oversea a period of transition and upheaval, and to welcome new members ofpaid staff.
Despite this period of instability, the Charity has continued to open and run as a thriving arts venue. Volunteers continue to be fundamental to the running of the organisation and are at the heart of its activities.
The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd has continues to attract new volunteers from a wide variety of backgrounds and continues to build a strong and focused volunteer team - a team of 20-30 core volunteers, and approximately 80 general volunteers. the Centre has also continued to develop partnerships with other arts organisations and to develop its programme to be more diverse in art forms and more inclusive of communities in Reading. The organisation delivers a strong and varied programme (arts, dance, cinema, music, poetry, comedy, theatre) which belies its limited resorces. The Charity has also continued to be a trusted home for various arts projects run by and for people with learning disabilities.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
The Board have examined the Charity Commission's requirements for Reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation, and have consequently established a policy whereby the Reserves should cover 3 months’ running costs.
Currently this requires an amount of around £20,000, and we have been able to reach this level.

Senior Management / Leadership Larry Watson Team:
Structure, governance and management
Nature ofgoverning document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a Memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a private limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Organisational structure
The organisation has a board of three trustees. The board is independent of senior management/executive leadership. The Manager of the centre works part time and supports a volunteer workforce with significant operational responsibilities. Board members serve for a maximum of 4 years and are elected at the AGMin line with the organisation's Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Major risks and management ofthose risks
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 actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. They have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and believe that they have established systems to mitigate these risks.
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd for the purposes of company Jaw) 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), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
Page 4
The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd
Trustees' Report
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd (‘the Company‘) I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 April 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the 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 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 your charity’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.
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 accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd
Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd (‘the Company')
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
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 (FR 02)].
I have no gofierhs And have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should Gs n this report in order to enable a proper understanding ofthe accounts to be reached. Antony fer FCCA

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
1 Charity status
The charity is limitedby guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £Nil towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: 30 Silver Street Reading Berkshire RGI 28ST
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 26 February 2026.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated,
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd 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 notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Page 11
The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
Expenditure All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s usc. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £100.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Page 12
The Rising Sun Arts Centre Ltd
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class
Depreciation method and rate 10% reducing balance method 25% reducing balance method 33% straight line method
Improvements to property Equipment Computer equipment
Stock
Bar stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Trade debtors
Trade. debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities,
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is.a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
