STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

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.

Organisational structure

All directors of the company are also trustees of the charity and there are no other trustees. The Board has the power to appoint additional trustees as it considers fit to do so. Each of the directors agrees to contribute £10 in the event of a winding up. The Directors meet four times a year to check performance, financial details and set strategy. Day to day decisions are made by the CEO who acts to achieve the board's strategy.

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.

Trustee induction

New trustees will be offered training and will undergo an induction process.

FINANCIAL REVEIW

Policy on reserves

The charity aims to keep in it's reserves at least enough money to cover one third of the average running costs. Based on the previous year’s turnover of around £148,000 the reserve target was £50,000. We achieved this goal throughout the year and our average reserve figure was around £160,000.

Going forward we estimate next year's annual turnover to be about the same at around £150,000 and would aim to have at least £50,000 in the reserves. Based on our budget projections this seems achievable.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The objectives of the charity are the education of adults, children and young people in the art of film, video making and other types of media, in particular those people who are in need by reason of disability, age or economic circumstances.

Objectives and strategies for the past year and results

Notes

Covid continued to affect our organisation. The year from September started well as there was a relaxation of the covid rules, this got worse ending in another lockdown in November. There was a brief pause at Christmas followed by a further lockdown which only started to relax again after Easter. This meant that a lot of our projects were restricted.

These are our goals set at the end of last year and how we did at achieving them.

  1. Continue to develop our partnership with City & Islington College: a. Build on the Candi Creative project

  2. i. We did this developing more video work. b. Develop our supported work experience project

  3. i. This continued but not extended c. Look for additional opportunities with the college

  4. i. We did not find any other opportunities as the college needed our office space back.

  5. d. Develop a plan B if the relationship does not perform well

  6. i. We did this and have cultivated a relationship with Mulberry UTC. 2. Fulfil our commitments to our contracts – we will do this by: a. Working closely with our partners and by ensuring that enough management resources are

  7. in place to set up and organise the activity successfully.

  8. i. We did this well. b. Ensure that our work is of a high quality and that we have documented our successes. i. Our work was of a high standard, but we could have it documented better.

  9. c. Review all policies and ensure they are fit for purpose

  10. i. We have reviewed all our policies. 3. Develop projects and partnerships – we will do this by: a. Research any new streams of funding

  11. i. We have not spent enough time on this. b. Apply for new partnerships

  12. i. We have been developing new partners. c. Research new markets and opportunities.

  13. i. We have been developing our music video production. d. Research new techniques and technology.

  14. i. We have been developing our VR and 360 skills as well as updating our VFX ability.

    1. Develop our marketing – we will do this by: a. Develop and improve our website and Adwords campaign.

  16. i. We could have done more of this b. Make our site mobile friendly

  17. i. We could have done more of this.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The company delivered all its contracts and achieved all the goals the funders had set. The feedback has been good and this was done without undue stress on the workforce.

The headline events this year were –

THE FILM AND VIDEO WORKSHOP REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Young peoples workshops.

We measure our impact by using sessions and student/adult days (sd/ad). Sessions are the number of distinct sessions we have run. Days are participants multiplied by how many days we worked with them, (based on a working school day of about 5 hours). For example, a class of 30 students working for 2 sessions for half a day each time will be 30 student days and 2 sessions. However, we have not yet found a way of identifying the number of staff running the training, as a staff ratio of 30:1 is a different experience to 3:1.

Specific Project details

Internal and External Factors

The trustees have made a full assessment of any factors that may affect these financial statements and do not deem any factors material enough to have an impact, apart from the following:

The Covid crisis has caused a reduction in the number of projects we could run and also reduced our turnover and profit as projects were cancelled. The outlook for Covid looks better and we hope to find new projects and develop our work.

THE FILM AND VIDEO WORKSHOP INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,

to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

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: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act

have not been met; or

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