eee STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

Organisational structure and decision making

The board of trustees meet regularly to administer the charity and determine its strategic and general policies. The day to day management of the charity's operations is the responsibility of the Creative Producer and charitable company secretary. All of the directors are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. The Creative Producer is on a part-time contract (0.8) and is supported by a team of four part-time staff, equivalent to 2.6 full-time staff.

Partner organisations and freelancers are commissioned for individual projects, through both open-calls and direct approaches, with contracts based on relevant industries of employment. Jumped Up is an Living Wage employer and uses Artists’ Union guidance to structure payments for freelancers.

The Creative Producer, who founded the organisation, advised the board in January 2025 of the decision to stepdown from their role by Spring 2026, due to family relocation. The Trustees have agreed to recruit a co-leadership team of an Executive Director and Artistic Director, with the aim the transition of leadership start by September 2025.

Registered office address changed from 29 All Saints Road Peterborough PE1 2QT to Key Theatre Embankment Road Peterborough PE1 1EF on 1 September 2025.

Risk management

The Board of Trustees has conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The company is dependent on project funding to support its planned activities but has controls in place to manage the risks associated with a shortfall in funding. Financial systems are reviewed annually and the Board is kept informed of the financial position of the company through quarterly management reports.

Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

Trustees’ Annual Report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025

REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Activities and achievements

2024-25 is Jumped Up’s second year as an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. Previously Jumped Up relied on project and partnership funding.

PLATFORM 8, our live events and participation programme, funded by Arts Council England and Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, reached audiences of 2,082, the majority of which were children and young people, and 893 participants, via 18 shows across 13 venues, and 21 workshops in its first 12 months (July 2024June 2025)*.

The programme was launched in Summer 2025, with additional funding from Hyde Housing Foundation, with Green Code, a series of urban creativity workshops (parkour, skateboarding and street art) at Thomas Deacon Academy and Richard Barnes APU, in four skate parks and two ‘Holiday And Food' summer youth club settings. Two performances of CODE by Justice In Motion were hosted at Peterborough College and included sign language support and audio-description. Alongside CODE there was a takeover of the Inspire Education site with hands-on activity, including a Parkour Park (additional funding from D&J Lloyd Community First Fund via Cambridge Community Foundation), skateboarding, and street art and music production workshops by local artists. 54% of the audience for CODE said they were “first time attenders” for live theatre.

Queen Katharine Academy, Thomas Deacon Academy and West Town Primary Academy hosted performances of the high visual dance-theatre piece Little Murmur by Aakash Odedra.

“One of THE most beautiful pieces of children’s theatre | have ever seen ... which also made me feel very seen.”

Two performances of The Money by Kaleider were hosted at Anglia Ruskin University Peterborough’s new, awardwinning Lab building. The Rest Of Our Lives by Jo Fong and George Orange at The Key Theatre was programmed alongside our first Community Dance Day.

“Quite possibly one of the best things | have ever experienced. Bravo.”

Audience feedback for The Rest Of Our Lives

Local artist, Mark Grist, was supported through the R&D of a new show about literacy and young people’s resilience, Big Box Bonanza, which will tour, with additional support of an ACE project grant, into libraries, schools and community venues in Summer 2025 (*included in these figures.)

THE CREATIVE SPARK is the learning network which sits alongside Platform8, building partnerships and raising quality for young people’s access to arts, culture and heritage. The first large event in March 2025, hosted at ARU Peterborough was attended by 55 participants, spanning arts, heritage, culture, education and community. The keynote presentation by Derri Burdon CEO of Curious Minds and Co-Chair of Cultural Learning Alliance, about young people’s cultural entitlement. The afternoon’s Hackathon generated project proposals to be taken up by Jumped Up and Peterborough Cultural Alliance partners.

“I loved how everyone was passionate about the topic and we had a shared interest in helping young people and arts access. | felt like my voice was listen to and| felt included.” Participant feedback

THE DANCE PROGRAMME continues to evolve. 117 movement workshops were deivered to 1,766 participants. The partnership with Shiamak International to host Bollywood classes continues and a new pricing model with performance opportunities has delivered stability in the group. Cypher was an experimental R&D pairing 5 dance artists with 5 spoken word artist, resulting in 5 short films; was an opportunity for individuals to develop their own practise and has built new practitioner relationship for Jumped Up. Dance Included, the monthly open movement and community building labs, funded by Community Lottery, that are a legacy of the 2023/24 project How Shall We Begin Again? are drawing to a conclusion. An evaluation report has been commissioned on this programme, and on the Community Dance Day, to inform next steps for the dance programme.

Activities and achievements (continued)

The Gommunity Dance Day at The Key Theatre in March 2025 was a highlight to end the year. A day of intercultural taster workshops, for children, families and adults, a community showcase and sector networking was well attended by 192 participants.

“4¢’s inspire to see how your community dance work is living out your vision to create positive social change in Peterborough”

“beautifully put together —!jaw ache from smiling so much” Participant Feedback

THE NEW CREATIVES programme continued to co-create creative campaigns with young people, for young people, each cycle running across an academic year. The Sept 2023 — Sept 2024 project, Style Stories, explored how creativity can remove the eco-angst from environmental campaigning, capturing joyful stories of clothing reuse and value, from young people and the public at the Thomas Deacon Education Trust Sustainability Conference, Peterborough City Council School Eco Day, the Key Theatre’s open days, and the Peterborough Celebrates community festival. The project concluded with an exhibition and workshops in Queensgate Shopping Centre.

The focus on environmental issues with the next cohort of New Creatives (October 2024 — August 2025) who subsequently choose to work with Jason Webb of Smail Nose Theatre, to create interactive eco-games for young people, developing understanding of global warming, eco-campaigning and the impact of plastics. These will be showcased alongside a relevant Platform8 event, Trashedy, in summer 2025.

In 2024-25, the New Creatives programmed delivered 32 workshops, reaching 534 young people.

PETERBOROUGH CULTURE FORUM, a support and information network for local artists, arts organisations and community cultural activists, is now tied in, and supported with a commission, by Peterborough Cultural Alliance (PCA). There was a hiatus in levels of activity whilst the PCA went through an unexpected leadership change and activity review, though 13 events were delivered, with 476 attendance. A new format has been agreed for the Culture Forum, including the commissioning of three local artists to deliver events, and will commence in Summer 2025. " The leadership are active members of Peterborough Cultural Alliance and Community Champions Network.

Financial Sustainability

The company has complied with all reporting requirements and income generation targets for its core funder, Arts Council England, including securing match funding from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation of £210K over three years for the Platform8 and Creative Spark programmes. The Creative Producer leads on all other fundraising and reporting which is used to extended and strengthen the existing programme and to deliver on the company’s core objectives.

Environmental Sustainability

Priorities have been to ensure recycling at events, responsible purchasing of print and consumables, and encouraging visiting artists use public transport.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Funding

Arts Council England have announced extensions of up-to two years to the current National Portfolio Organisations, which extends Jumped Up's core funding to March 2028.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The review of activities throughout the period explains much about the income and expenditure but the full details of the financial activities and the financial position at the year end are detailed in the financial statements on pages 8 and 9 in addition to the notes following thereafter.

-5-

RESERVES POLICY

Restricted funds must be spent on the projects dictated by the donor and therefore the details in note 10 provides full details of how these funds can be spent in future periods. In summary, the restricted funds total £102,000 (2024 - £78,146),

The term "Reserves" is used to describe that part of a charity's income funds that is freely available for its operating purposes not subject to commitments, planned expenditure and spending limits. Reserves do not include endowment funds, restricted funds or designated funds.

The reserves that we have set aside provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity. We intend to maintain our reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to £23,000, which allows for a minimum period of operation, plus grants funds that reflect projected expenditure in that quarter and financial commitments for the following quarter. Other unrestricted reserves will be used for Research and Development activity that develop ongoing fundraising plans

The level of ‘free reserves’ at 31 March 2025 amounted to £43,681. The Board regularly reviews the amount of reserves every quarter to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations. The board consider this level of reserves to be adequate but not excessive.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

A resolution to re-appoint Mr K J Maggs as independent examiner for the ensuing year will be proposed at the annual general meeting.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Jumped Up Theatre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

JUMPED UP THEATRE Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

1. Accounting policies

General information and basis of accounting

Jumped Up Theatre is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The trustees form the membership.

The address of the registered office of the charity is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are detailed in the trustees report on pages 2 to 6.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Year end

The accounting reference date for the charity has been amended to bring it in line with a majority of the funders and therefore changed to be the fiscal year end. This will simplify the reporting and information feedback to those key parties.

Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance.conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

-10-

JUMPED UP THEATRE Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 eee

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Income recognition (continued)

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

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

Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. Charitable activity expenditure is detailed in note 4 to the financial statements. These expenses are subcategorised between charitable activities, support costs and governance costs.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, computer costs, and bank charges. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

Governance costs are costs of charitable activities but those which relate to the governance and stewardship of the charity rather than directly to the activities themselves.

Support costs and Governance costs are allocated to applicable restricted funds based on the level of income that each project earns for the charity.

Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.

Fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. The charity has a policy to only capitalise items which exceed a cost of over £150.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Computer equipment - 20% per annum straight line Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

JUMPED UP THEATRE Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025

ee

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Operating lease agreements

.

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risk of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

  1. Statement of funds (continued) Description of funds

Designated funds relate to unrestricted funds which the trustees have allocated for specific projects which are ongoing at the year end.

ACE- National Portfolio Organisations represents monies received from the Arts Council England for the purposes of delivering the specific activities to which we have committed, including achieving the targets we advance.have set. Plans can be adjusted to respond to business and other factors but changes need to be agreed in

Platform 8 represents monies received from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Cambridgeshire Community Foundation to support the Platform 8 project over a period of three years. No surplus is expected and any deficit in projects will be covered by general funds

The Community Lottery Fund represents funding received the National Lottery Community Fund (Grant of £9,350) in order to assist funding our project, Dance Inc. This project is a leadership and creativity programme centred on well-being and CPD for grassroots activists in Peterborough. Monthly sessions will run other 8 months; supporting community leaders well-being and investing in their professional skills and networks. Creative practise that explores inclusion; resilience and care will run alongside complementary; formal leadership training delivering grounded insights and tools. The result will be a dynamic body of community leaders; both established and emerging; better equipped and networked to deal with the challenges of Supporting their own diverse cultural and disadvantaged communities.

The Cultural Alliance have commissioned up to twelve monthly Peterborough Culture Forum sessions. These sessions are supporting and connecting artists, arts organisations and community groups in the Peterborough area across both the 2023/24 and 2024/25 years.

Hyde Charitable Trust represents funds provided by Hyde Housing Foundation in order to fund the Code Green workshops of parkour, street art and skateboarding in schools and four Skateparks. These projects have been continued with the Platform 8 project.

  1. Transfers Many of the 'Restricted funds are interchangeable, i.e. funds are received for a project but then excess funds received can be used for the other similar projects and therefore funds transferred between restricted funds where available. Funds are released to the General funds when the project has been completed and the funder does not require excess funds to be returned in order to enable future similar work to be undertaken.

  2. Control relationship The charity is controlled by the trustees jointly and no individual can or does exert control over the others.

eee STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

Organisational structure and decision making

The board of trustees meet regularly to administer the charity and determine its strategic and general policies. The day to day management of the charity's operations is the responsibility of the Creative Producer and charitable company secretary. All of the directors are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. The Creative Producer is on a part-time contract (0.8) and is supported by a team of four part-time staff, equivalent to 2.6 full-time staff.

Partner organisations and freelancers are commissioned for individual projects, through both open-calls and direct approaches, with contracts based on relevant industries of employment. Jumped Up is an Living Wage employer and uses Artists’ Union guidance to structure payments for freelancers.

The Creative Producer, who founded the organisation, advised the board in January 2025 of the decision to stepdown from their role by Spring 2026, due to family relocation.

The company is dependent on project funding to support its planned activities but has controls in place to manage the risks associated with a shortfall in funding. Financial systems are reviewed annually and the Board is kept informed of the financial position of the company through quarterly management reports.

These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Activities and achievements

2024-25 is Jumped Up’s second year as an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. Previously Jumped Up relied on project and partnership funding.

PLATFORM 8, our live events and participation programme, funded by Arts Council England and Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, reached audiences of 2,082, the majority of which were children and young people, and 893 participants, via 18 shows across 13 venues, and 21 workshops in its first 12 months (July 2024June 2025)*.

The programme was launched in Summer 2025, with additional funding from Hyde Housing Foundation, with Green Code, a series of urban creativity workshops (parkour, skateboarding and street art) at Thomas Deacon Academy and Richard Barnes APU, in four skate parks and two ‘Holiday And Food' summer youth club settings. Two performances of CODE by Justice In Motion were hosted at Peterborough College and included sign language support and audio-description. Alongside CODE there was a takeover of the Inspire Education site with hands-on activity, including a Parkour Park (additional funding from D&J Lloyd Community First Fund via Cambridge Community Foundation), skateboarding, and street art and music production workshops by local artists. 54% of the audience for CODE said they were “first time attenders” for live theatre.

Queen Katharine Academy, Thomas Deacon Academy and West Town Primary Academy hosted performances of the high visual dance-theatre piece Little Murmur by Aakash Odedra.

“One of THE most beautiful pieces of children’s theatre | have ever seen ... which also made me feel very seen.”

Two performances of The Money by Kaleider were hosted at Anglia Ruskin University Peterborough’s new, awardwinning Lab building. The Rest Of Our Lives by Jo Fong and George Orange at The Key Theatre was programmed alongside our first Community Dance Day.

“Quite possibly one of the best things | have ever experienced. Bravo.”

Audience feedback for The Rest Of Our Lives

Local artist, Mark Grist, was supported through the R&D of a new show about literacy and young people’s resilience, Big Box Bonanza, which will tour, with additional support of an ACE project grant, into libraries, schools and community venues in Summer 2025 (*included in these figures.)

THE CREATIVE SPARK is the learning network which sits alongside Platform8, building partnerships and raising quality for young people’s access to arts, culture and heritage. The first large event in March 2025, hosted at ARU Peterborough was attended by 55 participants, spanning arts, heritage, culture, education and community. The keynote presentation by Derri Burdon CEO of Curious Minds and Co-Chair of Cultural Learning Alliance, about young people’s cultural entitlement. The afternoon’s Hackathon generated project proposals to be taken up by Jumped Up and Peterborough Cultural Alliance partners.

“I loved how everyone was passionate about the topic and we had a shared interest in helping young people and arts access. | felt like my voice was listen to and| felt included.” Participant feedback

THE DANCE PROGRAMME continues to evolve. 117 movement workshops were deivered to 1,766 participants. The partnership with Shiamak International to host Bollywood classes continues and a new pricing model with performance opportunities has delivered stability in the group. Cypher was an experimental R&D pairing 5 dance artists with 5 spoken word artist, resulting in 5 short films; was an opportunity for individuals to develop their own practise and has built new practitioner relationship for Jumped Up. Dance Included, the monthly open movement and community building labs, funded by Community Lottery, that are a legacy of the 2023/24 project How Shall We Begin Again? are drawing to a conclusion. An evaluation report has been commissioned on this programme, and on the Community Dance Day, to inform next steps for the dance programme.

Activities and achievements (continued)

The Gommunity Dance Day at The Key Theatre in March 2025 was a highlight to end the year. A day of intercultural taster workshops, for children, families and adults, a community showcase and sector networking was well attended by 192 participants.

“4¢’s inspire to see how your community dance work is living out your vision to create positive social change in Peterborough”

“beautifully put together —!jaw ache from smiling so much” Participant Feedback

THE NEW CREATIVES programme continued to co-create creative campaigns with young people, for young people, each cycle running across an academic year. The Sept 2023 — Sept 2024 project, Style Stories, explored how creativity can remove the eco-angst from environmental campaigning, capturing joyful stories of clothing reuse and value, from young people and the public at the Thomas Deacon Education Trust Sustainability Conference, Peterborough City Council School Eco Day, the Key Theatre’s open days, and the Peterborough Celebrates community festival. The project concluded with an exhibition and workshops in Queensgate Shopping Centre.

The focus on environmental issues with the next cohort of New Creatives (October 2024 — August 2025) who subsequently choose to work with Jason Webb of Smail Nose Theatre, to create interactive eco-games for young people, developing understanding of global warming, eco-campaigning and the impact of plastics. These will be showcased alongside a relevant Platform8 event, Trashedy, in summer 2025.

In 2024-25, the New Creatives programmed delivered 32 workshops, reaching 534 young people.

PETERBOROUGH CULTURE FORUM, a support and information network for local artists, arts organisations and community cultural activists, is now tied in, and supported with a commission, by Peterborough Cultural Alliance (PCA). There was a hiatus in levels of activity whilst the PCA went through an unexpected leadership change and activity review, though 13 events were delivered, with 476 attendance. A new format has been agreed for the Culture Forum, including the commissioning of three local artists to deliver events, and will commence in Summer 2025. " The leadership are active members of Peterborough Cultural Alliance and Community Champions Network.

Financial Sustainability

The company has complied with all reporting requirements and income generation targets for its core funder, Arts Council England, including securing match funding from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation of £210K over three years for the Platform8 and Creative Spark programmes. The Creative Producer leads on all other fundraising and reporting which is used to extended and strengthen the existing programme and to deliver on the company’s core objectives.

Environmental Sustainability

Priorities have been to ensure recycling at events, responsible purchasing of print and consumables, and encouraging visiting artists use public transport.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Funding

Arts Council England have announced extensions of up-to two years to the current National Portfolio Organisations, which extends Jumped Up's core funding to March 2028.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The review of activities throughout the period explains much about the income and expenditure but the full details of the financial activities and the financial position at the year end are detailed in the financial statements on pages 8 and 9 in addition to the notes following thereafter.

-5-

RESERVES POLICY

Restricted funds must be spent on the projects dictated by the donor and therefore the details in note 10 provides full details of how these funds can be spent in future periods. In summary, the restricted funds total £102,000 (2024 - £78,146),

The term "Reserves" is used to describe that part of a charity's income funds that is freely available for its operating purposes not subject to commitments, planned expenditure and spending limits. Reserves do not include endowment funds, restricted funds or designated funds.

The reserves that we have set aside provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity. We intend to maintain our reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to £23,000, which allows for a minimum period of operation, plus grants funds that reflect projected expenditure in that quarter and financial commitments for the following quarter. Other unrestricted reserves will be used for Research and Development activity that develop ongoing fundraising plans

The level of ‘free reserves’ at 31 March 2025 amounted to £43,681. The Board regularly reviews the amount of reserves every quarter to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations. The board consider this level of reserves to be adequate but not excessive.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

A resolution to re-appoint Mr K J Maggs as independent examiner for the ensuing year will be proposed at the annual general meeting.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Jumped Up Theatre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

JUMPED UP THEATRE Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

1. Accounting policies

General information and basis of accounting

Jumped Up Theatre is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The trustees form the membership.

The address of the registered office of the charity is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are detailed in the trustees report on pages 2 to 6.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Year end

The accounting reference date for the charity has been amended to bring it in line with a majority of the funders and therefore changed to be the fiscal year end. This will simplify the reporting and information feedback to those key parties.

Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance.conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Income recognition (continued)

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

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

Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. Charitable activity expenditure is detailed in note 4 to the financial statements. These expenses are subcategorised between charitable activities, support costs and governance costs.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, computer costs, and bank charges. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

Governance costs are costs of charitable activities but those which relate to the governance and stewardship of the charity rather than directly to the activities themselves.

Support costs and Governance costs are allocated to applicable restricted funds based on the level of income that each project earns for the charity.

Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.

Fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. The charity has a policy to only capitalise items which exceed a cost of over £150.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Computer equipment - 20% per annum straight line Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Operating lease agreements

.

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risk of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

  1. Statement of funds (continued) Description of funds

Designated funds relate to unrestricted funds which the trustees have allocated for specific projects which are ongoing at the year end.

ACE- National Portfolio Organisations represents monies received from the Arts Council England for the purposes of delivering the specific activities to which we have committed, including achieving the targets we advance.have set. Plans can be adjusted to respond to business and other factors but changes need to be agreed in

Platform 8 represents monies received from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Cambridgeshire Community Foundation to support the Platform 8 project over a period of three years. No surplus is expected and any deficit in projects will be covered by general funds

The Community Lottery Fund represents funding received the National Lottery Community Fund (Grant of £9,350) in order to assist funding our project, Dance Inc. This project is a leadership and creativity programme centred on well-being and CPD for grassroots activists in Peterborough. Monthly sessions will run other 8 months; supporting community leaders well-being and investing in their professional skills and networks. Creative practise that explores inclusion; resilience and care will run alongside complementary; formal leadership training delivering grounded insights and tools. The result will be a dynamic body of community leaders; both established and emerging; better equipped and networked to deal with the challenges of Supporting their own diverse cultural and disadvantaged communities.

The Cultural Alliance have commissioned up to twelve monthly Peterborough Culture Forum sessions. These sessions are supporting and connecting artists, arts organisations and community groups in the Peterborough area across both the 2023/24 and 2024/25 years.

Hyde Charitable Trust represents funds provided by Hyde Housing Foundation in order to fund the Code Green workshops of parkour, street art and skateboarding in schools and four Skateparks. These projects have been continued with the Platform 8 project.

  1. Transfers Many of the 'Restricted funds are interchangeable, i.e. funds are received for a project but then excess funds received can be used for the other similar projects and therefore funds transferred between restricted funds where available. Funds are released to the General funds when the project has been completed and the funder does not require excess funds to be returned in order to enable future similar work to be undertaken.

  2. Control relationship The charity is controlled by the trustees jointly and no individual can or does exert control over the others.
