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 £169,000 the reserve target was £56,000. We achieved this goal throughout the year and our average reserve figure was around £160,000.
Going forward we estimate the 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.

THE FILM AND VIDEO WORKSHOP REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
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
-
1) Work experience project; working with young people who either have an EHCP or are studying a level 1 course, we provided an individually focused work experience project. We also ran training in specific work skills and general work soft skills.
-
2) BFI film academy residential: This was the eighth year for this project. 40 young people from across the UK worked together online The films that were created were of a very high quality and it was an excellent project.
-
3) BFI film academy network; this is a smaller but related course for 20 students. It has an accreditation attached. We delivered this in November and it went very well. This was our ninth time we have run this scheme.
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:
Following the Covid crisis, funding has not resumed for us at previous levels and we will need to cut some costs to balance the books. We hope to find new projects and develop our work.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the surplus or deficit of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
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 which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

THE FILM AND VIDEO WORKSHOP INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
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.
