The Joseph Rowntree Theatre Limited | Annual Report & Financial Statements 2021/22
Welcome
The financial year has been one of steady recovery after the Coronavirus pandemic.
Like all other theatres across the country the Joseph Rowntree Theatre closed in March 2020. We were able to put on four shows in December 2020 but then closed again until May 2021. By the beginning of the financial year 2021/22 we were able to offer our usual diverse and entertaining programme of shows, and, importantly, workshops for schools and students.
I would like to thank all our trustees, volunteers and patrons for the support and commitment they have given during, and in the aftermath of the pandemic. responded well to the circumstances and emerged in a strong position.
The overall surplus was £ 53,681 (2020/21: deficit of £21,369), a significant improvement on the previous Covid-affected year.
For the period September 2021 to August 2022 the theatre was able to stage 158 performances (2020/21: 40) of 61 different events (2020/21: 23), from 44 groups/hirers (2020/21: 17).
We sold a total of 30,305 tickets for performances in 2021/22 (2020/21: 2,638) with a value of £404,896 (2020/21: £30,638) a healthy increase on the previous year and not too far short of our last full operating year before closure 2018/19 33,731 ticket with a value of £394,209 . Overall occupancy was 60% with an average ticket price of £13.40
The theatre was in use by hirers for a total of about 280 days (including set up and rehearsal time). The shows are listed later in this report.
The trustees have continued to meet a monthly basis and more regularly in smaller groups to manage the theatre activities and ensure the charity is in a strong position for the future. Towards the end of the year the trustees agreed to adjust the meeting schedule to have quarterly full trustee meetings with smaller focussed committees meeting in the months in between.
As always, the trustees are indebted to our volunteers who give their time to operate and maintain the theatre. Many of our volunteers have been involved for many years and their commitment and enthusiasm enables the Joseph Rowntree Theatre to be a superb and vital asset for the community of the City of York. We are pleased to have welcomed a good number of new volunteers
At the end of the year our team of volunteers included 115 front of house stewards, 27 stage crew ( including 9 stage managers), 14 box office assistants and many more people volunteering in theatre marketing, fundraising, event organising and developing the theatre archives. In total we estimate that they provided 27,900 hours of volunteering time for the charity.
The trustees and volunteers continue to work on the plans to make significant improvements to the theatre building and facilities. We aim to make the theatre more accessible and flexible to the needs of the community, a project which will take five to six years to achieve. During 2022/23 we plan major repairs to the roof, for which we have been running specific fundraising campaigns.
The trustees have continued to capture and record the social history of the Joseph Rowntree Theatre: capturing memories alongside the physical history of the theatre and why it was established. This activity is being further developed in 2022/23.
Our fundraising events raised £30,433 gross (2020/21: £19,371). In addition, grants and donations amounted to £42,498 (2020/21: £57,621). These funds will be used to support the development work that is underway.

We are very grateful to our many friends and supporters who have responded to our campaigns and continue to do so.
During the year the trustees applied for an alcohol licence for the theatre and purchased a caravan to act as a temporary bar on performance nights.
Following discussions the trustees agreed to engage an employee to help support the operation of the theatre and to provide direct support to me as Chair of Trustees.
As you pass our theatre on the Haxby Road (opposite the developing Cocoa works site) you may notice two new additions. Gus the Theatre Cat (of CATS fame) has attitude as he clings to the theatre frontage, and attracts the attention of theatre goers collecting their drinks from our new refreshment caravan. Gus is now s Cat Trail.

THEATRE HISTORY
Origins
The Joseph Rowntree Theatre is a significant part of the Rowntree heritage, most illustrious contribution to civil society. The Joseph Rowntree Theatre Limited is an independent charity and has no financial or other connection to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
which everybody would choose to belong. His Cocoa Works are often cited as a model of enlightened late health care, football, hockey, swimming, allotments, singing and drama. So the opening of the theatre by Seebohm Rowntree in 1935 was a logical extension of the community commitment, reflecting his openness and honesty. The Quaker tradition continues today with representation on the board and amongst its many volunteers. In April 2022 we added our bit of (nonsense) history by unveiling Gus the Theatre Cat (from CATS) crawling furtively up the front of the theatre, taking his place among the many other As a temporary measure we have also installed a vintage caravan in the grounds, from which we regularly serve hot and cold drinks and snacks.
of amateur dramatic and operatic societies whose limited resources are not equal to the hire of a theatre used by professional companies, but whose standards none the less justify a building equipped and furnished 7 years on from its opening in 1935 the theatre still meets these needs, having developed equipment and furnishings to meet modern day standards while keeping the iconic characteristics of the 1935 building. We have also, now, become attractive to some professional companies, tribute bands, university groups and the likes of The Shakespeare Schools Foundation.
The Yearsley Swimming Pool and our gem of a theatre are the only remaining Rowntree buildings still used for their original purpose.
Aims
The original purpose of the building is still relevant today. guidelines and its own Constitution, the Joseph Rowntree Theatre Limited board continues to provide a facility for the benefit of local operatic, drama groups, schools and other organisations.
Current Organisation
In 2001 the theatre began to run independently, and a Charitable Company was established to oversee the day-to-day operations of the theatre.
The Joseph Rowntree Theatre Limited was incorporated in March 2003, and gained registered charity status. to enable the continued operation of the theatre and to ensure its on-going presence in the community. In 2012 York St John University purchased the freehold of the Joseph Rowntree Theatre from UK Ltd. At that point the charity ceased to have any support, financial or otherwise and was now wholly responsible for all aspects of the operation.
In August 2017 the board of trustees finalised the purchase of the freehold of the theatre from York St John University.

REPORT
The directors (who are also trustees of the charity and are listed in the report below) are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance January 2019).
Financial Summary
The Charitable Company had a surplus of £53,681 after depreciation, compared with last deficit of £21,369.
Income in the year amounted to £226,979 (2020/21: £91,261), whilst expenditure totalled £173,298 (2020/21: £112,630). The board continues with its policy of raising funds before committing to new items of expenditure.
The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when planning the activities of the charity.
Principal Funding Sources
out the theatre to other
organisations, £81,459 (2020/21: £5,886), front of house sales, £38,097 (2020/21: £4,001), fundraising events, £30,433 (2020/21: £19,371), box office earnings, £18,010 (2020/21: £239), bar sales, £8,582 (2020/21: zero), and grants and donations, £42,498 (£2020/21: £57,621). During the year we continued to offer a box office split method of hire, for some shows, as opposed to our standard hire charge based on time in the theatre. Other income in 2021/22 included publicity income and bank interest. The charity is grateful to the City of York Council for some ward grants.
On the balance sheet, there is a designated development fund of £181,681, arising from operating the theatre and fundraising events free reserves, which are retained for the general running costs of the theatre. The fund is now £57,222 (2020/21: £59,617). Total funds (including designated reserves and the value of the building) at the end of the year amount to £613,742 (2020/21: £560,060).
Funds have been deployed to improve the theatre over the past eighteen years and a total of £530,133 (2020/21: £502,204) has been invested in fixed assets to date. Fixed assets are depreciated over the term of -line basis. The net book value of theatre improvements is currently £205,201 (2020/21: £219,685), and land and buildings £168,676 (2020/21: £152,759)
The level of reserves is felt to be sufficient to provide adequate financial flexibility. Potential development plans will require additional funding, which will be obtained before the board enters into any commitments.

We held one event at St Crux Church Hall in the centre of York café plus bric-a-brac, books and jewellery stalls; this raises our profile as well as generating much needed cash though now it is more often card payments than cash.

As ever, we are very grateful for donations from a variety of people and organisations. It is clear that many people hold fond memories of the Joseph Rowntree Theatre. We claim Gift Aid wherever possible and the board keeps the use of donated funds under constant consideration.

Plans for the Future at Art Deco Theatre
Following survey work, plans have been submitted and approved for major repairs to the fly tower, auditorium roofs and auditorium lighting, the latter specifically to reduce energy consumption. Solar panels are to be fitted to the fly tower roof.
We are continuing to plan for major development of the Joseph Rowntree Theatre to create a theatre that meets the expectations of our current and future audiences. The trustees are focusing on enabling the charity to thrive in the future through exploring how we can improve our engagement with the local community and create a hub of community activity.
The trustees continue to work on enhancing the profile of the Joseph Rowntree Theatre as a performance venue. This includes the use of a modernised website, social media and membership of Visit York and Little Theatre Guild. Our box office continues to be a key tool, not just in selling tickets, but in developing audience profiles and targeted marketing.
The trustees are aware of the need to recruit additional volunteers to help manage the shows that come into the theatre. We are continuing our external recruitment campaigns to attract people to get involved as well as developing a number of our current volunteer stage crew to help support stage management.
The trustees will be seeking to expand the opportunities for members of the local community to get involved, through volunteering and supporting the trustees for the benefit of Art Deco theatre.
The Team
The charity is managed and operated entirely by volunteer staff, with the exception of part-time cleaners whose services are provided through a contract cleaning company. Over the year over 160 volunteers have assisted the charity. The appointment of a part time, paid support officer is happening soon, and will be a significant change.
As well as being required to ensure safe evacuation of audiences in the event of an emergency, the front of house stewards provide a vital role in welcoming and guiding audiences to their seats, selling programmes and providing refreshments during performances.
The principal operating roles are duty managers, stage managers, stage technicians, box office assistants and front of house stewards. New front of house stewards are trained using a carefully developed induction programme and all stewards are required to refresh their emergency evacuation training on an annual basis. There have, of course, been additional risk assessments and resulting safety procedures as we emerge from the Coronavirus pandemic.
The stage managers, who are responsible for organising the running of the shows held at the theatre, volunteer for the entire run of a show. Their role is vital in ensuring that productions run smoothly, by overseeing the technical operations that can include follow spotting, flying, sound operation and general scene changing work. There have been 23 technical volunteers over the course of the year.
On most Monday mornings team, can be found busy with minor repairs, checking and receiving supplies, and a host of other essential tasks that keep the theatre fit for purpose.

&
REPORT
The charity also benefits from volunteers giving time to develop fundraising activities, ensure we have a presence on social media and general publicity, and in protecting and developing our theatre archives as well as supporting the trustees in their duties.
The board strongly supports flexibility within the volunteer programme, allowing volunteers to base their support on their own availability during performances.
With most front of house stewards volunteering to cover 10-20 performances each a year, it is estimated that they have given a total of over 5,000 hours of service to the theatre this year, and therefore play a vital part in the running of the theatre. Equally important were over 3,200 hours spent running the box office, and about 3,500 hours put in by our marketing team: maintaining our brochures and the website, emails to customers and social media.
The stage crew have provided nearly 6,000 hours of service during the year. Large-scale productions require stage managers to volunteer as much as 40 hours in a week and each evening/weekend performance requires at least 3 hours of technical volunteer time.
The board has re-evaluated the commercial value of all volunteers (including themselves when assisting with events), in the light of the Real Living Wage. We have estimated the total hours volunteered in running the theatre at 21,650 hours and now attribute a value to the services of all volunteers in the region of £270,171.
In addition, the board has reviewed the commercial value of the director/trustee volunteer hours spent managing the charitable company. We estimate they have provided over 6,200 hours in discharging their management responsibilities, valued at £185,625.
The board remains grateful to the more than 160 volunteers who have contributed to keeping the theatre running at an affordable price for the amateur groups, schools and youth organisations that hire it. It is one of the great strengths of community theatre that such strong voluntary effort can be relied upon, and every effort is made to encourage new volunteers to come forward and thus safeguard the future of this wonderful facility.

and
responsibilities
Company law requires the directors/trustees to prepare financial accounts that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of its surplus or deficit for the financial year. In doing so the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make sound judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and,
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The directors/trustees are responsible for maintaining accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any point in time the financial position of the Charitable Company. The maintenance of these records enables them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable charity law. The directors/trustees 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.

Policies
Risk Management
The board undertakes an annual review of all SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) risk management assessments, along with all health and safety risk assessments for the operation of the theatre. Risk assessments related to Coronavirus were carefully developed. The reserve policy is also subject to an annual review.
Investment powers and policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charitable Company has the power to make any investments which the trustees see fit. However, the Charitable Company did not hold any investments during the year ending 31 August 2022 nor does it have any plans to do so in the immediate future. The Charitable Company holds a number of savings accounts with its bankers to maximise its income.
Reserves policy
From its inception, the board has consciously adopted an extremely prudent financial policy in that no capital or revenue improvements have been committed to until the necessary funds have been raised and are available. As a result, we have been able to invest some £530,133 in capital improvements without using loan finance or overdraft facilities, and have ensured that monies raised from the charitable and business sector have been used directly for the purpose for which they were given.
Exemptions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to small companies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
1 Accounting policies
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) -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) (effective 1 January 2019) and the Companies Act 2006.
The company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going concern
These accounts are prepared on the going concern basis. At the time of approving the financial statements the directors/trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
This is on the basis of detailed cashflow monitoring and forecasting.
Income
Items of income are recognised and included in the financial statements when all of the following criteria are met:
-
the charity has entitlement to the funds;
-
any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity;
-
there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and
-
the amount can be measured reliably.
Where income is received for expenditure in a future accounting period that amount is deferred.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.
Expenditure on charitable activities comprises the costs of operating the theatre.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 (continued)
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Governance costs are included within expenditure on charitable activities and are analysed separately in the notes to the financial statements. They include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity, such as accountancy and other costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Financial instruments
Financial Instruments of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. Any impairment loss is recognised in the income and expenditure account.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

THE JOSEPH ROWNTREE THEATRE LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 (continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write each asset down to its residual value over its useful life:
| Theatre improvements | Up to 30 August 2017: over term of lease on straight line basis. |
|---|---|
| From 31 August 2017: remaining useful life (straight line basis). | |
| Other equipment | Five years (straight line basis). |
| Land and buildings | Freehold land is not depreciated. |
| No depreciation is provided on freehold buildings. The directors | |
| anticipate that, for the foreseeable future, their estimated residual | |
| value will not be less than their book value in these financial | |
| statements. This departure from statutory accounting principles is | |
| permitted by Companies Act 2006 section 396 (5) for the overriding | |
| purpose of presenting a true and fair view. |
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 (continued)
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors, loans and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Amounts recognised as provisions are best estimates of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Taxation
The charity is a registered charity and as such is potentially entitled to tax exemption under Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 in respect of income and gains arising.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted general funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. There were no restricted funds during the year.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
After review the Trustees consider that there are no critical estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the financial statements.
2 Liability of members
The Joseph Rowntree Theatre Ltd is a company limited by guarantee. The liability of each member is limited to a sum not exceeding £1.
