Trustees, responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial

during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial
statements, the trustees are requir8d to..
select suitable accourrting policies and then apply them consistently..
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.,
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended praclice havè
been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.,
Prepare the financial statements on the going concem basis unless il is inappropriate to
presume that the charity will continue in business.

accuracy at any lime the financial posilion of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial
statements comply wilh the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the
assets of the charily and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud

Chairman's Report
This year we had 5 class groups, all having classes in Ballet, Contemporary and Modern Jazz.
Rosemary Jagger, the secretary and treasurer, has organised the teacher's rota and made sure all
the necessary pastoral care was in place each week. I cannot thank her enough for all the work she
does to maintain the smooth running and financially efficient functioning of the scholarship ¢enlre.
Desprte the increasing numbers of associate and scholarship schemes flooding the market YDS had
successful auditions and offered places to forty new enthusiastic and hardworking scholars onto the
scheme, The high standards of teaching and the varied programme that we offer has assisted many
of this year's scholars to go onto full lime vocational training at some of the country's leading
establishments.
Antonio Borriello, as our head offaculty does a 8uperbjob of providing feedback to parents, teachers
and students, as and when required, and is invaluable to the scheme. Karen Twidale and all the
pastoral carers are vigilant in keeping everyone happy and safe at Joseph Rowntree School. My
sincere thanks to you all.
With continued support from the afor8mentioned and the efforts to improve our profile on social
media we are optimistic that the centre will continue to thrive.

YORKSHIRE BALLET SCHOLARSHIP CENTRE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
Secretary's Report
We started this new academic year with reduced classes of 5 groups which produced savings in
lerms of studio space, faculty and pastoral casts.
Successful auditions had been held in April 2023 with 60+ participants, 40 of whom were offered
place with 10 placed on the reserve list. We subsequently offered 4 students who were on the reserve
list a place.
As in previous years, several of our students were SUC￿$sful in auditions for furthervocational dance
training and we wish them all every success in Iheir continuing dance journey. Other students left us
to pursue University education and we also wish them every sucGess.
Social Media has beGome a very important marketing tool and we now utilise the pastoral team to
lake photos and videos on Saturday's for us to share. Our Instagram account is very popular and
produces lots of interest and interadion.
We again had a team social at Bar & Grill. Leeds whiGh was attended by many of the faculty &
trustees and very much enjoyed.
I would like to thank my fellow Trustee's for all their help, support and hard work over the lasl year-
a real team effort. I would particularly like to thank Karen Twidale, who runs the centre & the Pastoral
team on a weekly basis & without whom we would not function.

CENTRE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2023
Treasurer's Report:
As we continue to get back to nomiality following 2 years of disruption after Covid, we redu¢ed the
number of classes to 5 groups which reduced the weekly wages bill and enabled us lo save half a
day's rent on one of the studio spaces. We have also redU￿d Pastoral care. We did not run a
Summer School again this year as there didn't seem to be the enthusiasm for il either from the pupils
& parents or the team.
Annual auditions were held in April, back on a face to face basis and were attended with 65 studenls
on the day and 4 furtheraudilions in subsequent Saturday classes. 40 applicants were offered places
with 8 placed on Resetve list. This activity was self-financing as usual. We did however have some
professional photographs taken for advertising purposes and also paid to boost somè of our
Facebook posts in an effort to attract more interest.
Whilst the margins between income and expenditure have been close, costs have been closely
managed a5 always. Hopefully the cost cutting measures which vve have introduced and which are
mentioned above will help us to move into 202314 in an improved position.
From this September 2023 we will reduce classes to 4 groups which should have a further positive
effect on expenses in tems of rent (we will only need 2 studios instead of 2.5) and further reduced
faculty costs. We will also reduce pastoral care further. As always. my thanks go to the Board of
Trustees, the faculty, the Pastoral team and of course the parents and students for their continued
support.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Louise
Browne Yorkshire Ballet Scholarship Centre
I report on the accounts of Louise Browne Yorkshire Ballet Scholarship Centre for the year ended
30 September 2023 which are set out on pages 7 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's t￿Stee5 are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year {under section 43{21 of the Charities A¢t 1993 (the
1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts (under section 43(3){al of the 1993 Acti.,
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners (under section 43(71{b} of the 1993 Act).,
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners, report
My examination was carried out in ac¢ordan¢e with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners. An examination indudes a review of the accounting records kepl 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 the seeking of explanations from you as trustees
¢on¢erning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do nol provide all the evidence that would
be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the
accounts.
Independent examiners, statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
which gives reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordance wrth s41 ofthe 1993 Act.
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
have not been mel., or
2. to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the a¢counls to be reached.
