## **CIRK HES LTD** 

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2025 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Articles and Memorandum, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued in March 2019. 

## _**Structure, governance and management**_ 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were: 

Ms C Gwenapp Resigned 04/10/2024 Mr P Congdon Mr D Ellis Mrs L Bridges Mrs C Faust Ms G O’Rourke Co-opted on 04/10/2024 Ms J E Blackler Co-opted on 04/10/2024 

**The Trustees** (minimum 5 in number), who are volunteers, are responsible for the overall control of finance and operation of the charity. Suitable individuals are either identified by the existing trustees on the basis of their skills and knowledge and are invited to become trustees, or may be nominated by the members. New trustees are inducted into the workings of the charity after due checks, according to the charity’s procedures. 

**Employees.** At the year end, the Charity employs one Charity Manager and one part-time staff administrator. 

**Bookkeeping** duties are provided on a freelance basis by Georgy Hopwood, who became Treasurer as a volunteer in April 2024 upon retirement of the previous incumbent. 

**The Charity Manager** position, responsible for all the day-to-day running and contact, is now a salaried position and is currently filled by Naomi Lewis. 

**Project Leadership** . The management and administration of long-term funded projects is the responsibility of the appointed leaders of individual projects. The charity has no employees for the delivery of services but has an established network of freelance workshop leaders, assistants and volunteers involved with the delivery of the various programmes. New volunteers, potential assistants and leaders are identified, checked, trained and introduced to the workings of the charity, in accordance with the charity’s procedures. 

The charity has a **membership** scheme to enable supporters and volunteers to contribute (and have a say in the running of the charity) through participation at general meetings as well as subscriptions and donations, and to be kept informed through a newsletter.  Member’s liability is limited to £1.00. An Annual General Meeting is held each year, when acceptance of reports and accounts and trustee appointments are voted on. 

**Cirk Hes Ltd** is an individual entity and there are no related parties. 

**Core costs** include rent, insurance, web-hosting, annual examination of accounts and salaries. The organisation is run by volunteers and therefore has relatively low running costs, and readily capable of expansion to suit opportunities. It is therefore a cost-effective deliverer of quality youth work and support to the circus / performance arts community. Cirk Hes has its registered office on site at Cirk Hes in Helston during the reporting period. 

**Risk.** The trustees have assessed the perceived major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that there are sufficient systems are in place to mitigate exposure. The trustees will continue to identify and review potential risks on an ongoing basis. All necessary Policy and Procedure reviews took place in a timely fashion, and our Health and Safety, Fire Safety and Safeguarding policies were added to and updated. Likewise, our Risk Assessments were expanded around use of Big Tops, both by ourselves and by other community groups when in our care. 

**Training and development.** Certification of the workshop leaders and volunteers was kept under review and appropriate training and DBS checks facilitated. The core freelance project leaders all have Safeguarding and First Aid training in addition to updated DBS checks. Many also have specialist training depending on their expertise, our organisation keeps a spreadsheet to document our personnel’s current training status, and specialties, e.g., PREVENT, SEND, ACT, and higher levels of Safeguarding, Youth and Mental Health Training.

## _**Objectives and activities**_ 

The objects of the charity, as stated in the Memorandum of Association, are: -The promotion of education and training in the creative and artistic application of circus skills and physical theatre in artistic performance. 

-The promotion of training in circus skills and other recreational activities in the interests of social welfare for the benefit of the public with the object of improving the conditions of life. 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake to ensure public benefit.  Whilst each project targets individuals and groups of one sort or another often in isolated or deprived locations, working with sufficient sections of the public is ensured by excluding nobody for circumstances of poverty, gender, disability, race, etc.  Opportunities for groups from differing backgrounds to meet and work together are also actively sought. 

Since making the decision to take on premises, Cirk Hes now fulfils its objectives in two ways: - Exclusive use of a building allows Cirk Hes to make a purpose-designed space available to a range of circus and physical theatre-related freelancers, individuals and groups for training, development and tuition at affordable hourly rates. There are no age limitations so that many more people can benefit from the health and mental well-being associated with these types of activities as well as providing proper grounding and infrastructure for career development. 

- Using the medium of circus skills workshops to inspire, challenge, encourage and support children, young people and adults alike across Cornwall in their physical, personal and inter-personal development, we aim to nurture the self-esteem, confidence and courage of the disadvantaged and isolated to join in with and to ensure acceptance by their peers, and to become involved with community through peer-mentoring and performance opportunities. 

Circus skills, education and training, circus-based opportunities, work experience, volunteering, mentoring, creative and performative opportunities and circus-play workshops, flexibly tailored to the needs of differing groups, are offered for: 

1) Social Circus - for the disadvantaged, isolated, victims of abuse or in care. Also in this category are workshops designed to aid children's physical and developmental issues and also home-educated children. 

2) Youth Circus - mainly after-school clubs, some of which are designed to facilitate transition between schools, and all are suitable, safe places to receive those from group 1). 

3) Community Circus – providing healthy activities for community participation and safe environments for those from groups 1 and 2, especially families, to integrate. 

Taking part in a variety of performance opportunities is encouraged for all groups, and the workshops of groups 2 & 3 are also used to provide specific training of children and young people for participation in public events, e.g., stiltwalking for carnivals, and shows for other community events and festivals. 

It should readily be understood that the charity’s overall mission is to provide an infrastructure that is capable of reaching anyone, whatever their circumstances – while recognising the practical limitations imposed by our responsibility to provide a safe environment for all participants - and giving them the opportunity to develop personally to be able to take their place in and have some ownership of their community.  If our ambition is not to let personal or social circumstances be a barrier to participation, then we are committed to stretch ourselves to achieve safe and successful participation as widely as possible.

**CIRK HES LTD** 

## **Overall Impact** 

2024–2025 demonstrates significant continued growth in the reach, demand and impact of Cirk Hes’ work. The data shows clear increases in both audience reach and direct participation, alongside substantial growth in weekly use of the Helston space, free access provision, SEND engagement and outreach across Cornwall. This reflects Cirk Hes’ role as a vital inclusive circus arts organisation, supporting community wellbeing, creative opportunity, specialist youth provision, disability inclusion, professional development and cultural participation across the region. 

After the complications of moving to Helston during the previous reporting period, this year marked a time of significant consolidation and development for our organisation. The building, heating installation and rig has proved entirely fit for our purposes and the equipment list has grown to suit ever-expanding engagement and provision. We continue to appreciate and enjoy the support and cooperation of the Landlord and neighbours on the estate. 

Our commitment to making circus arts accessible and inclusive throughout the last year, and being valued by our community for this, has been equally evident through increasing attendance numbers, positive feedback from provision users, and the widening progression and development of our various programs, events, and collaborations. 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our staff, volunteers, partners, and the community for their unwavering and warm support. Together, we continue to build a vibrant and inclusive circus arts community in Cornwall. 

And finally... 

We are extremely grateful for the flow of positive feedback, support and encouragement from parents and guardians, schools, event organisers, funders and all the other ways in which we hear that our services are welcomed and well received. Whilst ‘fun’ is the hook to involvement and the outward hallmark of our work, it is a strong social work principle that underpins what we do and why and, ultimately, for the results of which we receive our most heart-felt endorsement. As a majority voluntary organisation, Cirk Hes is indeed indebted to all those individuals who freely give their time to make it all happen. As ever, particularly special recognition is due of the vision, dedication and professionalism of the Charity Manager, Naomi, without whom none of this could be achieved. Thank you.

**CIRK HES LTD** 

## _**Financial review**_ 

The financial position of the charity remains satisfactory; the charity is solvent and has traded within its means, posting a retained surplus of unrestricted funds at the year end. 

The costs associated with the building lease, salary and payments to freelancers are the major costs for the charity. 

We are pleased to report a positive financial performance for the fiscal year 2024–2025. Both our in-house generated income and restricted funds income saw a significant increase compared to the previous year. This growth reflects the ongoing support from our community and stakeholders, as well as the effectiveness of our fundraising and incomegenerating initiatives. 

- In-house Generated Income: 

Increased by £21,600, reflecting a fantastic increase in returns from in-house sessions, internal fundraising events, community partnerships, and externally run sessions. This growth allows us to cover a larger portion of operational costs without relying so heavily on external funding. 

   - Our self-generated income made up 36% of overall income, up from last year, where we have seen a big increase in attendance now that we have established our presence in our new location after the move last year. 

- Restricted Funds Income: 

This funding stream also showed an increase, up by £21,600 compared to last year, thanks to successful grant applications and dedicated donor contributions for specific projects. These funds have enabled us to expand the reach and impact of our targeted programs. Many of the restricted grants we received this year were awarded to help us with ongoing projects, aimed at increasing our reach and inclusivity, which help to support our core costs. Some grants were targeted towards specific projects, all of which came in on budget. Some of our restricted grants spanned several financial years and were either granted in the previous financial year and spent this year, or granted this year and finalised in the year 25-26. One grant has spanned three years, however this was a rolling grant towards staff training costs. 

Restricted funds managed: 

- National Lottery People’s Project Awards for All 

- Time2Move Adult Volunteer Training 

- Claire Milne 

- Duchy Health Charity 

- Cash4Kids 

- FEAST 

- Garfield Weston 

- Cornwall Levelling Up Project 

- Helston Town Countil 

- Naval Children’s Charity 

- Police Comissioners Fund 

- T2M Micro Grant 

- Time2Move Easter 

- Time2Move Summer 

- Time2Move Christmas 

Short term projects all covered their own costs, or in cases when Cirk Hes provided funding from unrestricted reserves, they were delivered to budget. 

## _**Reserves**_ 

It is the policy of the trustees that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. 

Compliance with this policy has been maintained through the majority of the year, with the move being recognised as a special situation.

**CIRK HES LTD** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE 11 MONTHS ENDED 31[st] August 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **1.1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' published in March 2019 and applicable accounting standards. 

## **1.2. FUND ACCOUNTING** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which 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. 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 costs 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. 

## **1.3. INCOMING RESOURCES** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of financial activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Donated services or facilities, which comprise donated services, are included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such a cost is quantifiable and measurable. No income is recognised where there is no financial cost borne by a third party. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service. 

## **1.4. RESOURCES EXPENDED** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities, they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## **1.5. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION** 

All assets costing more than £100 are capitalised 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

Long-term leasehold property - Over life of lease Session equipment - 10% per annum Plant & Machinery - 10% per annum Computer Equipment - 33% per annum
