ArtyThings – a Tuesday drop in arts session for young people aged 8 – 12

The National Lottery – A grant to support community gallery activities which has been brilliant in terms of engaging much wider participation across the town with holiday time activity sessions, activities for parents and support for local artists and makers to exhibit and sell their work.

Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
-
To further such charitable purposes for the benefit of young people under the age of 25 in Keighley and District as the trustees see fit from time to time in particular by:

The charity's main activities
The centre provides community based creative activities for individual and community benefit, focussing on self expression and self development. Primarily, though not exclusively, for young people.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education, the arts and culture.

Financial review
The net income for the year was £715, including net income of £19,792 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £19,077 on restricted funds.
Since our move to Keighley Arts Hub funding has been much less of a stressful issue and it has left us able to develop more interesting ideas such as the Little Nomad Gallery. We have been funded for the past 12 months and next 12 months through a generous grant from the Tudor Trust and we have been successful in being awarded a grant to develop activities in the gallery space so will be doing more community focussed sessions open to a wider audience.
We would like to thank our funders for their continued support.
Accordingly, the trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and have concluded that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £22,096.
As a small organisation Small World aims to have reserves in the region of 10 - 15% of its expenditure, which is between £2,900 and £4,350 based on 2022/2023 expenditure. Additionally it seeks to maintain reserves to cover any winding up costs which are estimated to be £1,350. Actual reserves are significantly above this since the unrestricted Tudor Trust grant of £20,000 was received in February 2023 for the year commencing 1 March 2023.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by the board of trustees on 26/9/2023

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
-
3 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
-
4 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)].
