Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2021

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 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 issued in October 2019.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Policies and Objectives

The charitable company (charity) has its office in Bradford on Avon, following its departure from Iford Manor early in 2019. The charity aims to promote education in, and enjoyment of live music and opera and particularly encourage the development of skills, understanding and repertoire in young professional performers at the early stages of their careers.

As a nationally respected centre of excellence in opera and music theatre the charity's activities contribute to our local communities and the local economy by attracting audiences from across the UK and overseas.

Public Benefit

The Trustees consider that the charity's activities and aims are congruent with the Charity Commission's guidelines on Public Benefit. In particular:

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Activities for Achieving Objectives

Following cancellation of the 2020 season because of the Covid 19 pandemic, it was most pleasing to be able to mount performances of Mezzo-Cav (the most popular parts of Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana) and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci in the grounds of Belcombe Court, Bradford on Avon and of Handel's Acis and Galatea in Holy Trinity church, Bradford on Avon. One of the performances of Pagliacci was given by members of the New Generation scheme for young artists. The performances were well attended, some tickets were sold at lower prices than we have been able to offer in the past and there were free seats available for under 18s. The charity was pleased also to present performances of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, aimed at families, and an informal prom featuring world music and jazz, also aimed at attracting a wide audience.

Work on possibilities for a new permanent home continues, though the effects of the pandemic have inevitably slowed progress.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Statement of Financial Activities

Income increased from £154,783 to £353,537 in the year, which reflects that it was possible to start putting on performances again in the year following a relaxation of Covid-19 related restrictions and that the charity was also successful in obtaining a Culture Recovery Fund grant which helps support cultural organsiations through the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. There was an overall surplus of £4,899 (2020: £13,180) in the year.

Reserves policy

It is the Trustees intention to hold reserves sufficient to fund the charity's plans for future development. At the year end, reserves totalled £65,486 (2020: £60,587).

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2021

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

The company has been re-launched as If Opera, taking the idea of 'what if?' as symbolic of an adventurous, open-minded approach to the presentation of opera, and the stimulation of interest in this art form. We now have both an Executive Director and an Artistic Director in post for more than a year and the coming year will see the implementation of their ideas, particularly the engagement of performers as a company of talented artists and creatives. They will be engaged for an extended period to perform all of our season's work in a collegiate and supportive environment.

What could be done in 2021 was inevitably limited by the pandemic. For 2022, we have planned a more substantial season including Puccini's La rondine, a double bill of Donizetti's Rita and Wolf Ferrari's Il segreto di Susanna, all in the grounds of Belcombe Court, and a concert performance of Purcel's Dido and Aeneas at Holy trinity church in Bradford on Avon. Pricing will be similar to that in 2021, including free seats for under 18s. There will also be the first performances of a new opera, The Man in the Moon, written specially to be the perfect show for all the family; and, as usual, there will be a prom."

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Constitution

Iford Arts is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 7th January 2002.

The charity is constituted under a Memorandum of Association and is a registered charity number 1091312.

The principal object of the charity is to promote, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the performing and visual arts in Wiltshire, Bath & North East Somerset and Bristol.

Method of appointment of Trustees

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association.

Organisational structure and decision making

The trustees have managed the charity's day to day operations on behalf of members through the offices of the Executive Director and the Artistic Director. They are supported by the General Manager and during the year a Fundraising and Development Manager and a Marketing and Publicity Manager have been recruited to strengthen the team.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantors at 31 October 2021 was 44.

Induction programme

New board members will usually have experience of Iford Arts' activities. On appointment they receive copies of recent minutes, Articles of Association, Memorandum and Articles of the company, financial account details plus reference to relevant Charity Commission guidance notes at: www.gov.uk/guidance/charity-trustee-whats-involved

Risk management

The Trustees consider the major risks to be late cancellation of performance caused by performer indisposition or venue safety, inadequate income from sales and patronage and loss of key personnel. Appropriate insurance is held against cancellation and an understudy programme is in place. Continuous monitoring of income streams is carried out.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Iford Arts Limited

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Iford Arts Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

Iford Arts Limited is an incorporated charity in England and Wales. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is up to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the legal and administrative information on page 1 of these accounts. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are included within the Trustees' Report.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts 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, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

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

Income

Income is received by way of donations, ticket sales, other sales such as advertising, programme sales and picnic sales. These 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, 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.

Income from grants is 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.

Income from trading activities includes income earned from 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.

Investment income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when the amount can be measured reliably which is often the date of receipt.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees and designated funds are funds with the trustees have designated for use on specific purposes.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Financial Instruments

The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows:

Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 15. Prepayments are not financial instruments.

Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Expenditure

Financial instruments - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in notes 16 and 17. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Bank loans are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs and subsequently, they ar e measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance

All assets are capitalised where required. There is no minimum cost.

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. Theatre tax relief credits are accounted for when receivable.

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. The trustees have considered the ongoing impact of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic and have concluded that this will not affect the going concern status of the charity.
