**THE INSPIRE ARTS TRUST**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## **Status**
The Inspire Arts Trust is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
## **Organisational structure**
The Trust is governed by a board of Trustees, who are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the charity and for establishing policy. The board of Trustees meets regularly and delegates the day-today operation of the charity to an executive board of management.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Aims of the charity**
The objects of the charity are:
- to advance the education of people, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, in the arts (including in particular music, drama and dance).
The Inspire Arts Trust has continued to grow and develop over this last year and it is encouraging to see all the progress that has been made. We are delighted to outline the development accomplished in each area.
The Directors/Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
## **BALPA**
Our main challenge this year with BALPA has been to build the numbers up after Covid as we had lost students due to our move to online lessons and also having to restrict classes due to social distancing. The funding we had received from the Creative Business Grant and D’Oyly Carte really helped us to manage this income deficit. The Creative Business grant allowed us to offer workshops to local schools, guides and brownie groups which helped us reach new people who have since joined our classes. The D’Oyly Carte funding also allowed us to start a new musical theatre class for younger children which has been a big hit.
By the end of the year we had 130 students as a part of BALPA which is a great step forward. Our target is 184 and we have had around 150 signed up for the September 2022 term which is brilliant to see.
We held 2 BALPA shows this year. The summer show was packed with 3 performances and over 250 parents and family members coming to support. These shows are a great chance to celebrate all the children have achieved over the year and it is great to see how much their confidence has grown and how they have learned new skills. In the Easter term this year we also did some filming with each of our classes which gave them a different experience, and our vocalists got the opportunity to record in our recording studio. Both these opportunities gave the young people an opportunity to learn new skills and have new fun experiences.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**
Our Young Volunteers Programme in which young people can work towards their Arts Awards has continued to grow. We had 3 young people working on their bronze award and one on their silver award over this last year. They come and help in the classes as part of the awards and we train them how to teach. This is a really fulfilling part of what we do to see the young people grow in confidence and realise they have something to give to other young people. At the time of writing we have had another 2 for the bronze award and 2 for the silver award for the year starting September 2022. We are also planning to expand our curriculum to cover the Explorers award for younger children and to the Gold award which carries UCAS points.
Over the summer we secured a grant from Western Power Fund to run holiday workshops which included providing a healthy lunch for children. This was brilliant and we had 100 children come to our complex over 4 days of workshops. Some of these have signed up to join BALPA. A number of these came from backgrounds of poverty and so providing a free place and a healthy lunch for them was an important part of supporting them and their families.
With the after-effects of Covid-19 and now the cost of living crisis, we have seen the demand for bursary places rise during this year and have seen it rise even further in Autumn 2022. This has meant we have needed to fundraise for even more bursary funds so we can allow children from disadvantaged backgrounds to come on a subsidised or free place. We are so grateful to Millbury’s and Lisa Costa for their support of our bursary fund. We have submitted further grant applications to help us with these funds for 22/23.
Looking ahead we need to continue to see growth in BALPA. We have taken on an experienced BALPA Coordinator in April 2022 and we are already seeing the benefits of this in class numbers for September 2022. As mentioned above, we need to reach 184 students in total asour target for the next financial year.
## **Community**
This year we were delighted the Thornbury carnival was being held again and our children loved taking part in the event. It was great to be able to share what they had been learning with the community and bring a smile to people’s faces after two hard years. This was also another good opportunity for us to recruit students as well.
Through the Creative Business Grant we were able to offer free dance workshops in over 20 schools. The schools were extremely grateful for the opportunity and the pupils loved taking part in the classes. This has allowed us to widen our reach as BALPA particularly into some ethnic minority groups. Some of these have now signed up to join the classes from the workshops which is fantastic. We also have one school who now has found funding to bring us in on a weekly basis every other term for the next year. We also provided workshops for brownie and guide groups as the grant was for encouraging girls in dance.
The grant also allowed us to work with Jigsaw, a local charity who work with children with additional needs. We have run a workshop each week for them in term time throughout the year and these have been well received. This has now turned into a regular commitment; Jigsaw have raised funding to continue this on in Autumn 2022 and we are looking to see if we can expand our work with them further.
The Magic Little Grant we have obtained is for a Community Open Day offering free workshops to young people in the community. This took place in September 2022 and was a roaring success. It allowed us also to meet more people who are in need of financial support for their children to access BALPA and we have been thrilled to be able to provide this.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**
## **Musicals**
The decision has been made to sell the set and assets which belong to The Prodigals as due to the current financial climate, the show will not progress for a long time and we cannot continue to pay to store these. This process will commence in Autumn 2022.
This has been a hard and challenging year for Inspire in many ways. We are indebted to our amazing workers, funders, volunteers, management team and Trustees who are so passionate and hard working in delivering excellent and rewarding experiences for all the young people who attend.
## **Financial Review**
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (“the free reserves”) held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the unrestricted expenditure, which equates to £9,788 to £19,576 in general funds. At this level, the board of Trustees feels that it would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed accordingly. At the balance sheet date, the free reserves were £3,775 and this has taken a significant drop due to the consequences of Covid on class numbers. There has been much fundraising to help Inspire get onto a level footing and also the class numbers for Autumn 2022 have increased up to 150 students which makes a significant difference to the financial viability of the work. . The Trustees are of the opinion that Inspire remains a going concern but will be keeping a careful eye on the situation.
## **Investment powers**
The Trustees can invest in any stocks, funds, shares, securities or other investments of whatsoever nature as the trustees shall, in their absolute discretion, think fit.
## **Investment policy**
As income is utilised within a short time after receipt, the Trustees consider that the most appropriate policy for investing funds is to place them on short-term deposit.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees reviewed the risks of the charity and the risk register was discussed in the January 2021 Trustees meeting. The main risks, control factors and actions have been identified as follows:
Risk: Lack of funding to support the work of the charity. Controls: Finances are closely monitored and controlled. Funding bids are being produced and submitted and this has increased since April 2022 with bringing a BALPA coordinator on board. Regular funding has been consolidated through BALPA. Actions: Need to increase funding applications into a wider Trust base. Bursary funding is especially important as more families will be struggling with the cost of living. Develop the publicity of BALPA to increase reserves.
Risk: Inadequate cashflow to meet requirements. Controls: Regular monitoring of cashflow by CEO. Budgeting of key areas of work. Maintaining adequate reserves. Actions: Continue to monitor cashflow and build reserves back up. Recruit more students to ensure this happens.

## **THE INSPIRE ARTS TRUST**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**
Risk: Risk of reserves being depleted. Controls: Liability insurance against losses. Actions: Reserves have been depleted and these need built back up again. Close monitoring of finances by CEO and Trustees.
The Trustees have continued to review the risks this year, due to Covid-19 there has been a lot of discussion about them, especially the reduction in numbers on our classes which has made financial stability more challenging. The Trustees have continued to monitor the risks.
## **Future**
The charity plans to continue to grow and develop BALPA over the next few years and is looking to broaden its work with schools to enable this to happen. The charity is keen to keep developing its links into the local community and looks for every opportunity to grow these where possible.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also directors of The Inspire Arts Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with 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 Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 charitable company and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these 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 judgments and accounting 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; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They 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.
## **Small company provisions**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2022.
.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your 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**

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 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
- 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).
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.

## **THE INSPIRE ARTS TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **AS AT 31 AUGUST 2022**
## **1 Accounting policies**
- a) The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
- The charity can continue as a going concern, although the trustees have noted the reserves have taken a significant drop due to the consequences of Covid on class numbers. There has been much fundraising to help Inspire get onto a level footing and also the class numbers for Autumn 2022 have increased up to 150 students which makes a significant difference to the financial viability of. the work. Funding has also been obtained for the next financial year to help cover some of the core operating costs. The Trustees will be keeping a careful eye on the situation.
The Trustees consider the charity to be a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102.
- b) Income from donations is included in the accounts when the charity becomes entitled to it, receipt is probable and the value can be measured reliably, except as follows: I. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods;
- II. When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.
- c) Grants, including grants for fixed assets, are recognised within the accounts as they become receivable. Grants received in the accounting period in respect of future accounting periods are deferred until those periods. All material grants are disclosed in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, FRS102.
- d) Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the entity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the entity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the entity. They have been included within support costs.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
- e) Tangible fixed assets costing more than £100 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Office Equipment - 33% p.a straight line
Fixtures & Fittings - 25% p.a straight line
Technical Equipment - 20% p.a straight line
- f) 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.
- g) 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.
- h) 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.

## **1 Accounting policies -** _**continued**_
- i) Investments made for charitable purposes 'Programme related investments' are carried at historical cost less any impairment provision.
- j) In the opinion of the trustees, the company and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemption provided by Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts.
- k) Funds held by the charitable company are either:- Unrestricted funds - these funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of
- the Trustees.
- Restricted funds - these funds can only be used for the specific purpose designated by the donor.
- Designated funds are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted funds for specific future purposes or
- projects.
