Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2024
The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019).
WELCOME FROM THE CO-CHAIR AND JOINT CEOS
We are delighted to report that 2023-24 saw us achieve our post-Covid aim of stabilising and starting to grow attendances for both our performance programme and weekly classes. We celebrated our first sell-out performance in February with No Dragon No Lion by Hong Kong company TS Crew, towards the end of a year that saw audience numbers increase by almost 50%. It was an equally positive story with our weekly class programme. After a period of re-shaping our offer and pricing to respond to post-Covid changes in demand, we saw numbers increase by 31% and exceeded our income targets by a third. Success in this key earned income strand along with careful control of costs across the organisation has helped us to move from a £27k deficit in 2022-23 to a deficit of £5,879 in 2023-24. Against an incredibly challenging financial backdrop for Local Authorities we were hugely grateful to retain 100% of our revenue funding for 2023-24 from Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole (BCP) Council.
Advocating for the physical and mental health benefits of dance is an important part of our work and we continue to deliver programmes that bring positive change to communities we serve. Our work with and for children and young people feels more important than ever, as we step forward to respond to the crisis in dance provision within the state school curriculum and the lingering impact of Covid on our young mental and physical health. Our Learning Associate Schools programme and our SHIFT dance and mental health programme for secondary schools are proving to be effective vehicles for delivery in this area. Our weekly Dance Classes address symptoms of through dance, allowing participants to improve their physical health through fun and creative ways. We are passionate about the wellbeing benefits of dance and continue to bring them to the fore in all areas of work we deliver.
Underlying the busy programme of activity summarised on the following pages has been a sustained drive to forge new partnerships and reach out to those who - or - benefit from our venuebased offer. Whether connecting to new communities through our Deep Touring approach or running free-to-attend street dance classes in most deprived neighbourhoods, taking performances into school playgrounds or Dancing with Dementia workshops into care homes, our mission to transform communities through dance is at the heart of everything we do.
We would like to extend their grateful thanks to our funders in particular Arts Council England and BCP Council our trustees, our loyal band of volunteers and the dedicated staff team whose commitment and passion has enabled Pavilion Dance to bring extraordinary experiences to audiences, participants and our local communities throughout the past year.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Performance programme
As set out in our Business Plan, we strive to deliver dance performances that are relevant, diverse, inclusive, and captivating in our venue and beyond. This year we presented 17 professional productions that showcased a wide range of artistic voices, reaching approximately 3,700 audience attendances across our main programme and family programme.
We introduced our new Deep Touring approach to presenting dance; not only did we bring highquality dance performances to our audience, but we also collaborated with dance artists to forge impactful connections with our local communities. Through getting people to be active participants in workshops and co-creators in creative processes, we aimed to deepen artistic experiences beyond passive viewing. Highlights included Le Club Social led by dance artist Genevieve Say, an empowering production about memories on dance floors through the ages co-created with an intergenerational community cast of 19 dancers aged 21-78. A Queer Collision by Stuart Waters fostered connections with our local LGBTQIA+ community through crafting activity at a local café and recruiting Community Champions to promote the show locally. Our Deep Touring approach explored ways in which dance can be a social experience that catalyses community-building and placemaking. It contributed to the growth of our audience numbers for our performance programme by almost 50% compared to the previous year.
After a five-year hiatus, we started presenting work by international artists once again. No Dragon No Lion by TS Crew from Hong Kong performed to a sold-out audience in our theatre with their unique blend of lion dance, martial arts, and acrobatics. Anglo-Belgian collective Reckless Sleepers was in residence for two weeks and co-created Binary Opposition with a local cast of young people. These international artistic voices brought diverse lived experiences to our audience, enriching the cultural offering in our conurbation.

Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2024
Aside from presenting work at our venue, we took dance to people in various settings. We took our commissioned work Plastic Paradiso on tour and presented 13 performances of this environmentalthemed work across the UK. Our Break Down Walls flashmob co-commissioned and copresented with Arts by the Sea Festival took over Bournemouth Lower Gardens and Pier Approach. We presented 2Faced Dance production Lungs of our City to over 800 students in their school playground. Building on the achievements this year, we will continue to explore ways in which dance can be presented to fulfil our Business Plan commitment to allowing dance to permeate
Artist development
In order to better support artists in developing their creative practice at all stages of their careers, we rolled out our new artist development programme, offering tailored support opportunities for artists in the South West and across the UK. We appointed Bournemouth-based company Lila Dance as our Associate Artist for 2023-25, supporting the development of their artistic practice and creations as well as presenting their work Fault Lines at Aarhus Festival in Denmark as part of the International Touring and Environmental Responsibility (ITER) programme in 2024-25. We appointed four Visiting Artists including SW dance artists Sean Moss and Julia Pond as well as dance artists from other regions Linden Dance and Meera Patel this year. They each conducted week-long residencies at Pavilion Dance that incorporated peer-exchange, work-in-progress sharing, and open studio sessions. We continued to work with New Forest-based Joli Vyann as our Base Camp Artist, supporting their continuing creative career development while also benefiting from their expertise as they sat on our selection panels for artist call outs.
As part of the Dance Along the South Coast partnership with Lighthouse Poole and Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, we hosted a SW artist listening event to inform the creation of artist development opportunities that best meet their needs. We supported an artist-led initiative by DorsetBorn to organise an early career networking event for artists from various artistic disciplines in the region. These in person gatherings provided opportunities for artists to connect in ways that were not possible during the pandemic years.
Children and young people
As laid out in our Business Plan, we aimed to nurture children and young artistic talent and interest in dance. Through our youth dance company Coast, we provided weekly training and performance opportunities for 14 young people aged 14-19. For our annual Young Choreographers cohort. We hosted our youth dance platform Origins and collaborated with Wells on their new Making Moves platform to showcase young dance talents in the South West. The two platforms gave 300 young dancers the opportunity to take our stage to share their passion for dance.
In order to bring dance to young people in areas underserved in arts and cultural activities, we collaborated with local community organisations such as Henry Brown Youth Centre and Fernheath Play to deliver our Free programme supported by funding from Children in Need. These weekly hip hop and breakdance sessions allowed children in BCP Priority Neighbourhoods to access dance at their local community centres and reached 340 attendances this year.

Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2024
We worked closely with BCP Cultural Hub and schools including our eight Learning Associate Schools to deliver dance experiences to students in educational settings across BCP. Tailored to learning outcomes, activities ranged from dance workshops to creating performances for school events and reached approximately 3,600 attendances. Moreover, we hosted The Inspired Teacher Dance CPD Day in order to upskill teachers to deliver dance in school settings.
Participation
Our participation programme saw significant growth this year, reaching 20,000 attendances including over 10,300 attendances for adult classes and over 1,300 attendances for youth classes, a year-onyear increase of 31% from 2022-23. Two end-of-term revues gave participants the opportunity to take our stage and celebrate their passion with their friends and family. Our newly introduced workshop series allowed us to diversify our participation offering and acted as a low-risk way to test demand for new class styles.
Our plans to cultivate a thriving dancing culture locally are clearly evidenced in our participatory work. During the summer, we successfully delivered another edition of Dancing Terraces, four weekends of free-to-participate dance classes open for all at our doorstep. We were joined by over 1,000 participants and 1,200 viewers for sessions ranging from African Dance to Ceilidh and Bollywood to Latin. Our annual Open Doors event was curated with contributions from our Community Focus Group and included workshops as well as dance performances by a range of community groups.
Health and wellbeing
Advocating for the physical and mental benefits of dance is an area of focus in our Business Plan. Our weekly Dance classes were in high demand and were often operating at capacity, reaching over 1,000 attendances across the year. The classes proved to be an invaluable service for people living with and their carers; the physical as well as social benefits of which were recognised by our participants. We hosted our annual Awareness Day a celebration of our Dance community and an introductory day for those who would like to learn more about it. Aside from people living with we delivered two pilot dance workshops for 38 participants living with dementia at Care South Residential Home in Hamworthy and will be exploring more activities for participants with dementia in the coming year.
In collaboration with Dorset Mind, we conceived and delivered a tailored dance programme in school setting that aimed to make a positive impact on the mental health of young people. SHIFT (formerly Dance Chat) is a unique programme where dance sessions are co-delivered by a dance artist and a mental health practitioner. We delivered the project at Cornerstone Academy this year and will be expanding the project to a second school in the coming year.
Events
Our annual fundraiser Business Come Dancing was held at the Bournemouth Highcliff Marriot Hotel in November. Contestants from the #WillDoes charity took home this trophy with their highenergy Grease number. We were joined by Paul Kinvig (COO of Bournemouth Town Centre BID), Councillor Andy Martin (Portfolio Holder for Customer, Communications and Culture), our young trustee Olivia Girling, and last winner Kerry Houston-Kypta on the judging panel. The event not only provided an opportunity for us to connect with businesses in the area as set out in our Business Plan, but it also raised a total of £16,000 for our organisation. Building on connections from the event last year, we successfully delivered two Team Away Days for corporate clients including Savills Estate Agents who brought in 98 of their employees from across the UK.

Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2024
Our social dance events were well attended this year; with three of five Ceilidh events completely sold out, we reached a total of 350 attendances. Our Ceilidhs have built a strong reputation of being inclusive spaces where all are welcomed and often attract an intergenerational crowd from children and young people to older adults above the age of 65.
Financial review
During 2023-24 we reforecast our budget regularly as we continued to build out of the pandemic and through the cost-of-living crisis. The pressure of increasing costs continued, particularly affecting our salaries budget as a Real Living Wage employer. Cost-saving decisions taken in-year by a key hirer, the Performing Arts Department at Arts University Bournemouth, had a significant impact on our hires income which proved impossible to make up at short notice however advance bookings are looking strong so we anticipate a full recovery in 2024-25. We also saw a steady recovery of numbers for our weekly dance classes and performance programme, rewarding careful programming and a concerted marketing effort by the team. We were pleased and relieved to receive confirmation from BCP Council of continued funding for 2024-25 and the following 2 years, albeit at a 10% reduction, and delighted to secure Public Health revenue funding for the first time to replace that reduction. This gave Trustees a firm basis from which to approve the Real Living Wage increase to relevant staff and a 4% increase for the rest of the team.

Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2024
Through prudence and careful financial management during 2023-24, monitored and supported in the regular Board meetings through the year, we have a retained a financial buffer to help us weather the impact of the ongoing pressures of inflation and rising costs as we enter 2024-25.
Senior Leadership Team salaries are set by the Board and benchmarked against organisations of a similar size and remit in the cultural sector.
Reserves policy
Pavilion Dance South cash reserve should be sufficient to cover three months total operational costs (less marketing and contingency). The Board of Trustees examines the level of reserves each year when setting the following budget, and this reserves policy is reviewed every three years.
For the year 2023-24 the operational costs (less marketing and gift in-kind premises costs) were £788,568, leading to a required unrestricted reserves value of £197,142 based on the current reserves policy. Through prudent financial management and support from our funders, our free reserves at the end of 2023-24 are £281,724, therefore exceeding the target figure.
The trustees are confident that the charity is able to continue as a going concern given the current unrestricted reserves, and the proposed budget and business plan for 2024-25.
Fundraising
Pavilion Dance has been registered with the Fundraising Regulator, as a small charity, since 2017. We currently contract any professional fundraisers. An annual fundraiser, Business Come Dancing, is held in November each year. This popular 'Strictly' style competition invites local businesses to compete for a glitterball trophy whilst raising funds for our community projects, and raised £7,400 after costs this year. Applications are made to trusts and foundations where we meet the criteria of that foundation and the signposting to these can come from contacts, networks or newsletters. We were successful in securing a number of grants from local Trusts this year, bringing a total of £22,100 towards project delivery and core costs. Donate buttons are used on our website and on social media to encourage donations and we have also run campaigns with Givey.com and Give as You Live as donation platforms. In addition we have individuals contacting us to make personal contributions usually for a specific programme of work. We adhere to data protection protocols including in keeping information linked to fundraising. Over the course of the year, Pavilion Dance received 0 complaints (2023: 0) about its fundraising practices.

Equality, diversity and inclusion
We firmly believe in being an organisation where differences are respected and considered, and where varying views and ideas are listened to. This informs how we commission and programme dance, and also in how we look after our artists, staff, volunteers and members of the public who come to experience dance.
In recognising the value of diversity in enriching our arts and cultural offer as well as ensuring that all artists have access to the opportunities and resources to create truly excellent work, our approach is underpinned by the principle of ensuring that we reflect the communities in our conurbation in the work that we do.

Pavilion Dance South West Limited
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2024
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity 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 charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees 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.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
Auditors

Independent auditors' report
To the members of
Pavilion Dance South West Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Pavilion Dance South West (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 8 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Independent auditors' report
To the members of
Pavilion Dance South West Limited
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the report, which includes the report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the report included within the report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the report included within the report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small exemptions in preparing the
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the responsibilities statement set out in the report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
15
Independent auditors' report
To the members of
Pavilion Dance South West Limited
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The procedures we carried out and the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:
(1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, and assessed the risk of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Throughout the audit, we remained alert to possible indications of non-compliance.
Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud, and whether they were aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
-
Designing and implementing internal controls to mitigate the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud.
(3) We inspected the minutes of trustee meetings.
(4) We enquired about any non-routine communication with regulators and reviewed any reports made to them.
(5) We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed their compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
(6) We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions or balances that may indicate a risk of material fraud or error.
(7) We assessed the risk of fraud through management override of controls and carried out procedures to address this risk. Our procedures included:
- Testing the appropriateness of journal entries; Assessing judgements and accounting estimates for potential bias; Reviewing related party transactions; and
Testing transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. Irregularities that arise due to fraud can be even harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2024
1. Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation and general information
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Pavilion Dance South West Limited 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.
Pavilion Dance South West is a charitable company registered in England and Wales, with it's registered address at: Pavilion Dance South West, Westover Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH1 2BU.
b) Going concern basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of provision of room hire and ticketed events is deferred until criteria for income recognition are met.
d) Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Pavilion Dance South West Limited
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2024
1. Accounting policies (continued)
e) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
f) Funds accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
h) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the following basis:
| ities on the following basis: | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Raising funds | 20.1% | 18.1% |
| Charitable activities | 79.9% | 81.9% |
i) Intangible fixed assets
Intangible assets relate to the charity's website and are measured at cost less amortisation. Amortisation is provided on a straight line basis over 3 years.
j) Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
Dance equipment 25% straight line Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line Office equipment 25% straight line Computer equipment 33% straight line
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500.

For the year ended 31 March 2024
1. Accounting policies (continued)
k) Stock
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
l) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
m) Current asset investments
Current asset investments consist of cash held on deposit in interest bearing accounts. Such investments are measured at their fair value.
n) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
o) Creditors
Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
p) Financial instruments
The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
q) Pension costs
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.
r) Redundancy costs
Where an employee receives a redundancy payment, the cost is recognised at the date that the employee is notified.
s) Accounting estimates and key judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Pavilion Dance South West Limited
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2024
1. Accounting policies (continued)
s) Accounting estimates and key judgements (continued)
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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
As described in notes 1i and 1j to the financial statements, depreciation and amortisation are provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life.
Gift in kind
The charity recognises donated facilities as part of its lease arrangements with BCP Council and BH Live. These are recognised on the basis of the value deemed by the landlord of the maintainance and provision of services at the premises.

Purposes of restricted funds Parkinson's Dance
Funds raised by individual giving and the participants of the PDSW Parkinson's Dance class in Bournemouth to ensure the longevity of the class alongside extra curricular activities for the participants and training opportunities for the teachers.
Surf The Wave
A fund supported by Arts Council "Ambitions for Excellence" programme, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Jerwood Foundation, Arts Council Wales and Creative Scotland (plus sponsorship from Arts University Bournemouth and Mayflower Theatre Southampton). Surf the Wave was a three year project created to provoke a change in how dance is toured in the UK. Remaining funds are being used to maintain the STW & SW Dancing websites as a legacy of the project.
RIO Challenge Fund
A multi strand project which includes a new dance programme, in conjunction with Dorset Mind, to work with children aged 13-16 who have disengaged with school as a result of the impact their mental health has had on their daily lives.
