## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Hartlepool Art Studio Limited is a registered mental health charity based on Park Road, Hartlepool, established in 2003.  The ethos of the charity is to use art as a medium to improve mental wellbeing, reduce the stigma associated with mental health through public awareness and encouraging social cohesion and transition back into the community. 

We currently employ one member of staff and have a team of 15 volunteers all with artistic backgrounds, fully DBS checked and holding accredited certification in Mental Health Awareness and Safeguarding Adults, as well as more specialised training such as Autism Awareness. 

In past years, Hartlepool Art Studio Ltd has been mainly funded by membership to the service and grants from governing bodies, gaining commendations and awards for its service to the community from governing bodies, local services and Hartlepool Business Awards along the way. 

## **Hartlepool Art Studio Ltd has 4 projects:** 

Artrium being the leading project, has been developed mainly by our members to practice art and craft in a safe and exclusive environment with like-minded individuals.  We cater for everyone that has an interest in art, looking to get out of the house or wanting to learn something new, with our main focus on providing support to improve mental wellbeing. 

Artrium holds key partnerships with local mental health charities and organisations, Hartlepool, Stockton and Middlesbrough Adult Social Care Service teams and Health Departments as well as NHS integreated mental health services. 

To ensure our members receive a quality service which visibly improves their livelihood, we review progress every year with our members, volunteers, staff and relevant Social Workers or providers. Over 50% of our members receive direct payments to attend Artrium services, some of which receive dedicated one to one support. 

Artrium Gallery is a side project of Artrium, running since 2009, providing opportunities for our members, volunteers and local artists to exhibit, sell and demonstrate artwork to the wider public as well as offering opportunites to become self employed and raising awareness for the importanace of mental wellbeing in the current social climate. 

Artrium Outreach, offers a teaching/learning service to the community through schools, support and community groups and the local governament teaching, supporting and increasing social cohesion and awareness of mental wellbeing through the use of asrts and creafts from a young age. 

Artrium Training offers the option to further educuation, supporting individuals back into education and employment by receiving accredited qualifications in a whole range of different areas. 

Many of our members have slipped through the net of mainstream education previously in their life or have found it hard to complete qualifications on their own so offering these opportunities helps greatly with mental wellbeing and progression.  Through this we have successfully helped over 50 volunteers and members back into work, over the years, and strive to support individulas with their development during their time with us.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hartlepool Arts Studio Limited** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hartlepool Arts Studio Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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** 

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 charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements 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 

4. the financial statements 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.

**Hartlepool Arts Studio Limited** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1. General information** 

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Artrium, 120a Park Road, Hartlepool, TS26 9HU. 

## **2. Statement of compliance** 

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Hartlepool Arts Studio meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.  Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

## **Going concern** 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## **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. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

**3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

**Hartlepool Arts Studio Limited** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

|Freehold property|-|5% straight line|
|---|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|-|15% straight line|
|Equipment|-|15% straight line|



## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

## **Defined contribution plans** 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. 

## **4. Limited by guarantee** 

Hartlepool Arts Studio is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.  Every member of the charity undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
