Constantine Enterprises Company Trustees' Report

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025

Objectives and activities

The first and principal objective is to promote and progress initiatives for the benefit of the village community and the parish of Constanitne.

Achievements and performance

The Charity continued its main objective to promote and progress initiatives for the benefit of the village community.

The year to 30 September 2025 has been characterised as usual by enthusiasm and a positivity from Trustees and the Tolmen Operating Company.

The Tolmen Centre is the prime Community Hall and meeting place in Constantine. It provides a facility which is used by many individuals for parties and social events and has also enhanced its reputation as an art gallery. The facilities are also used for choirs, yoga, barre and many other matters. As Trustees we look to expand outreach as far and wide as possible.

The Constantine Enterprises Company look to present the Tolmen Centre in the best light both in terms of condition and as a welcoming environment for the Tolmen Operating Company to utilise and perform desired ambitions

A new boiler has been installed in the Tolmen this year with the aid of a Grant from The Theatres Trust. A new remote Hive System for boiler programming has also been installed to enable easier and more efficient control of the central heating system. Ceiling repairs were required to the main auditorium which involved the careful repair of our precious decorative ceiling. A further grant was obtained for part funding of this work through The Cornwall Community Foundation.

A grant was also obtained from the Community Levelling up Fund (CLUP) for the provision of acoustic tiles in the front ground floor room, the provision of improved LED stage lighting and the purchase of a new sound deck with this work being completed in December 2024.

We are grateful for all grants that we are able to receive and the fact that the charitable bodies give them is testament to the hard work that the trustees and volunteers in the Tolmen put in as the building is seen as a worthwhile investment and community asset.

The Tolmen Centre has had a good year as shown in the TOC report. Performances have been well attended and the pre theatre suppers and general running of the previously mentioned café is a vital asset for the financial stability of the TOC. As always there is a change in personnel leading individual responsibilities and this year there have been changes in the running of the gallery and the Booking system. We are blessed with so many capable volunteers in the community and our thanks go to those both retiring from and those taking roles of responsibility.

Constantine Enterprises Company Trustees' Report

Film nights remain a success, and many successful performances have been held in the theatre allowing a healthy profit closing with Conclave in the 2025 season. The café continues to be a major asset, and the new kitchen helps in this regard, with the unceasing dedication of all the kitchen staff involved in making it all a success. Barbara Pugh has relinquished some levels of responsibility here thereby reducing her extreme workload but her contribution to the pre performance meals and all other occasions is a vital part of the financial success of The Tolmen.

There have two very successful meetings presented by The Literary Pod with Sarah Winman and Jane Johnson with excellent attendances.

Away from The Tolmen the tenancy of the Glebe Garden as a community facility is progressing with enthusiasm with a group of committed helpers to bring the Glebe Garden back into shape as a community asset. Funds have been raised and some expenses incurred – but a modest balance of funds is held by the CEC.

The Bosahan Woods, remains a positive asset for the CEC and footpaths have been transformed since ownership. The woods are an important part of the village and being governed under the care of the CEC provides security for the use of the village. Woods planning and management are ongoing and a restoration plan through the Woodlands Trust has been created. A grant of £1,500 was received from the Rural Payment Agency. The fruits of labour are and improved environment, wonderful flora and fauna along with a siting of otters near the old wheelhouse.

The Museum remains a fundamental asset to the village and retains a sound structure. Capacity is a challenge, but attendances for memorial exhibitions indicate the importance of this asset. A very successful VE Day Celebration took place with a capacity attendance.

Maintenance is always an aspect of financial concern and grant funding becomes all the more important in the maintenance budget. We have just been successful in achieving a further grant through CLUP looking to uplift insulation performance through window works, install a hearing loop and provide sound insulation in the Guildroom.

The Constant Times move to colour printing has transformed the magazine and its printing is now done remotely. It moved to 32 pages this year. The magazine is important to all in the village and provides an important voice for all community groups. Advertising is strong and it is this element that allows the enhanced and expanded form of this important line of communication.

Transition Constantine maintain their strong presence with the Farmers Market, Food Waste Group, Making Space for Nature, The Pollinator Project, Bulk Buying and Winter Teas under the Trees. They carry out a vast amount of community work which is exceptionally valuable in the village and around.

The CEC, through its various projects, has achieved much in the past years for the benefit of the village of Constantine - sustaining a leading Arts venue in Cornwall, a much-loved Community Centre, a respected village Museum, and a leader of many worthwhile projects within the village. Buttressed by a whole host of willing unpaid volunteers the CEC has remained solvent as well as initiating and sustaining a remarkable and successful range of projects for the benefit of all.

Financial review

CEC accounts are now all dealt with in electronic form and thanks go to our Company Secretary for that hard work.

Income for the year is £41,661 (£27,394 - 2024) the increase being due to the TOC gift aid being higher than the previous year. Expenditure is £28,532 (£19,233 - 2024) the increase being due to additional property maintenance together with depreciation on increased capital expenditure. The reserves carried forward at the end of the year are £234,496 of which £152,730 are restricted (2024: £221,367 and £144,903 respectively.

Investment policy

The Trustees have the power to invest the company's funds as deemed appropriate.

Structure, governance and management

Constantine Enterprise Company is a charitable company limited by guarantee not having a share capital. It was incorporated on 28th April 1998 and is governed by its memorandum and articles. It has been registered as a Development Trust. The charity was registered with the Charities Commission on 6th October 1998.

The trust is run on a voluntary basis by the elected trustees. The members at the AGM appoint the trustees who hold at least three meetings throughout the year. The Company (CEC) is run by the trustees with decisions being taken at these board meetings. The Trust must be run with no fewer than three trustees and at least one third of the appointed trustees must be present to be quorum. The trustees appoint the Chairman. All trustees have one vote at board meetings and where equality of votes arises the Chairman shall have the casting vote. All members over the age of eighteen are eligible to put themselves forward as trustees. All trustees are appointed by the board and approved at the AGM. New trustees are inducted into the working of the charity.

There are two principal organising groups –the CEC and its wholly owned subsidiary the TOC. Each has a board of directors (trustees). The membership of the CEC board is printed at the start of this report. The TOC Directors at 30 September 2025 were Mr J Welch, Mr J Danning, Mr C Pugh, MR M Harris, Mrs B Pugh, Mr D Jeffries, Mrs S Murdoch, Mrs E Carson and Mrs A Hussey. Separate accounts for the TOC as well as the accounts for the CEC are to be presented at the joint AGM in April 2026.

Risk management

Both CEC and TOC have undertaken a review of risks to which the Charity is exposed. There is an ongoing process of Risk Assessment at all levels of the operation. In addition, a full insurance policy is in operation to cover the activities and assets of the Charity and a separate policy covers the activities of the Trustees.

Trustee Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and the applicable Statement of Recommended Practice. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

 there is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s independent examiner is unaware; and

 the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as trustees to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.

Small company provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

Approved by the Board on 14th May 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

Constantine Enterprises Company Independent Examiner's Report

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 September 2025 which are set out on pages 7 to 17.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

o to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met;

2) or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Donations and legacies are voluntary income received by way of donations and gifts. It is included within the accounts when receivable and only when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the income.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts are included in the accounts at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates

Page 9

Constantine Enterprises Company Notes to the Accounts

Donated goods and services are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material.

The value of services provided by volunteers is not included within the accounts.

1.5 Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes the attributable value added tax which cannot be recovered.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

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 are the those costs required to support the charity in carrying out its activities and meeting its objects.

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, which is reviewed annually. The rates used are as follows:-
