Grizedale Arts Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022

The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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).

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

Grizedale Arts is a company limited by guarantee and governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 21 April 1999. It is also a registered charity. The company is membership based with each member's liability being limited to £1 in the event of it being wound up. The membership is currently limited to 30.

Appointment of trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Council. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Council are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they can be re-elected once at the next Annual General Meeting.

Candidates for vacancies on the Council are sought by the Chairman from recognised and experienced practitioners in the areas indicated by the most recent skills audit. Candidates are invited to Grizedale to see the operation and to meet other Trustees before being put forward for approval at the next AGM.

Induction and training of trustees

Newly appointed Trustees are provided with copies of the Grizedale Management Handbook/Policies and Methodologies, the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, The Charity Commission's 'Duties of a Charitable Trustee' plus any other documentation considered necessary. In addition, all new Trustees attend for a minimum of two days induction.

Organisation

The company is organised and run by a Council comprising a maximum of eight councillors elected from the membership at large, together with four councillors nominated by specified funding bodies. Officers are drawn from the elected councillors. The current numbers are within the limits permitted by the governing document.

Related Parties and relationships with other organisations

There were no related party transactions apart from a grant received from South Lakeland District Council (SLDC). SLDC have the right to nominate a trustee to the charity’s Council. Councillor Robin Ashcroft is representing SLDC as a trustee.

The charity has very close relationships with the Arts Council England, South Lakeland District Council (SLDC) and the Architectural Heritage Fund. A summary of the grants and loans received from these bodies are recorded in note 3 to the accounts.

Risk Management

A formal risk assessment analysis is reviewed by the Council on a regular basis with a number of management actions having been implemented. The last update and formal review was carried out in January 2022.

Grizedale Arts Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and activities for public benefit

The objectives of the Company, as set out in its governing document, are:

The company operates a policy of encouraging participation in the visual and performing arts with special reference to the context of the rural community. That policy continues to concentrate on the Visual Arts and the expansion of the Company's educational activities. The Company also operates an equal opportunities policy.

The above objectives and policies are effectively the same as those of the Grizedale Society whose operations were transferred to Grizedale Arts on 1 December 2001.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the general guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when reviewing and planning the charity's aims and objectives.

Achievements and performance

This period takes us through the purchase of The Farmer’s Arms, its redevelopment and relaunch as a multi-functioning community and arts facility. The site is now a thriving gateway to the Crake Valley and its myriad of facilities and resources are run or initiated by Grizedale Arts.

I would have to categorise this financial year as intense. The Farmer’s Arms renovation programme has been a huge workload mostly undertaken by Grizedale Arts staff while its relaunch has ensued a significant change of organisational scope and a series of staffing increases required to run a functional business. Additionally, as COVID lockdown restrictions have eased, we have navigated numerous economic and behavioural changes in our audiences and customer base. Despite these challenges, and the many resulting complexities, remarkable things have been achieved, most notably, the substantial increase in The Farmer’s Arms property value which has given confidence to the investors, validation to our efforts and a level of fiscal security for the charity.

We should mention the epic work of Emma Summer negotiating staffing and managerial issues. Tom Phillipson for his extraordinary work on the building and surrounds and Karen Guthrie as a freelancer offering support on design, gardens, and complex administrative areas.

From the programme of artists/managers both Alistair Debling and Francis Lloyd Jones (cook and pub potter respectively) have led the way in demonstrating how a combined role can work for both their businesses and the project. The Farmer’s Arms has also provided employment to a wide cross section of local people and a multitude of training and enterprise opportunities.

Highlights of The Farmer’s Arms programme include:

Grizedale Arts Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022

Lawson Park continues to provide a residency base hosting many volunteers, artists and professional groups. The development of a new productive relationship with the property owners, Forestry England, is in progress. Although there is a much-reduced involvement with the Coniston Institute, we still hold an office in the building and many of the projects we initiated continue to thrive.

The external conditions previously noted (COVID), have also contributed to reduced activity in our international programme, exhibition projects for national and international institutions and the major residential programme in Japan. It is hoped that there will be some return to these ways of working in the next financial year.

Adam Sutherland (Director)

Our beneficiaries

As The Farmer’s Arms opened to the public, we have seen a significant increase in the number of beneficiaries we are able engage with general visitor figures were in the region of 350,000.

Our general audience data shows that residents from across Cumbria, but predominantly from the South Lakeland area including the Barrow peninsula and West Coast communities were one of our main beneficiaries. In addition, as Covid restrictions were lifted, we saw a significant increase in the number of national and international beneficiaries traveling to engage with our events (such as The Farmer’s Yarns and Lawson Park Open Days), and many others who chose to stay in the area to engage with our workshops.

In addition, we have expanded our programmes that support early career artists with their professional development and reopened productive partnerships with other rural communities internationally. Through these programmes we have supported 60+ artists and 30+ other creatives which has enabled us to engage more diverse audiences with an increase of around 15% in audiences identifying as non-white British.

Financial review

The total funds of the charity at the year-end were £1,180,599 (2021: £1,285,740) consisting of £1,150,721 (2021: £1,256,390) unrestricted funds and £29,878 (2021: £29,350) of restricted funds.

Having due regard for the assets needed to maintain and develop the charity’s activities, and to show a more realistic picture of its assets and free reserves, the trustees decided to show the charity’s unrestricted funds of £1,150,721 as follows:

General fund - £74,744 - these are the free reserves the charity uses to fund activities in line with its charitable objectives, and to carry out regular repairs to property and facilities needed for its operation.

Designated property assets fund - £945,181 – the properties and other fixed assets are essential for the current and future operations of the charity, and so should be excluded from free reserves/the general fund. Although the net book value of all assets shows as £1,547,283 the trustees must take into consideration the social investment loan and loan stock related to the property assets, and so shows the assets fund net of the loans (see Note 19 to the accounts).

Designated refurbishments fund – 2021: £200,000 – these funds were “set aside” to ensure funds for the refurbishment costs for the recently purchased Farmer’s Arms during the year. After spending £69,204 in this year and considering ongoing refurbishment work during the next financial year, the trustees decided to keep the balance of £130,796 as designated.

Unrestricted Funds

The total unrestricted income for the year was £354,444 (2021: £301,709), representing an increase of £52,735. Unrestricted expenditure for the year was £488,738 (2021: £258,580) generating a deficit of £134,294 for the year (2021: a surplus of £43,129).

Restricted Funds

The total restricted income for the year was £31,809 (2021: £36,373). Restricted expenditure for the year was £2,656 (2021: £15,282) generating a surplus of £29,153 for the year (2021: £21,091).

Policy on reserves

The Charity maintains sufficient reserves to carry out repairs and to fund activities in line with its charitable objectives.

The trustees intend to maintain reserves representing three months normal expenditure to meet unexpected costs. This currently stands at £78,000.

Plans for the future

The Charity plans to continue with its artistic programmes during the year ended 31 March 2023 in collaboration with interested parties.

Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The charity trustees (who are also directors of Grizedale Arts for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

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 Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Grizedale Arts Independent examiner’s report to the trustees For the year ended 31 March 2022

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 7 to 23.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ICAEW.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met; or

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

Grizedale Arts

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

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.

Grizedale Arts meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.

b Judgments and estimates

The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

d Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Grizedale Arts

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

e Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

h Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £200 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Freehold building and land 0%
Leasehold property over the remaining lease term
Fittings and equipment 10%
Motor vehicles 25%
Works of art 0% - 20%

Grizedale Arts

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

i Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

j Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and funds held bank current and deposit accounts.

k Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

l Financial instruments

The charity 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.

m Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end.

2 Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
