ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Public Events

Wimbledon BookFest continued to run two public festivals in 2022. Decisions around Covid- 19 and restrictions on events and audience behaviour were still unknown. The outside open-air model offered flexibility and running two festivals gave a provision for risk with changing circumstances eg if further lockdowns occurred. The key focus of 2022 was rebuilding audiences. In total 94 events were held with audiences of over 11,000 attending in-person.

Each Festival had its own flavour:

SUNRISE: 9 - 15 June 2022

Included both fiction giants and political events focused on Ukraine and the Russian invasion. Duration: 7 days No of events: 46

Speaker highlights: Nobel Laureate, Abulrazak Gurnah, Susannah Clarke's only live event, Julian Barnes and a live Zoom from Ukraine with Prospect Magazine and to Afghanistan with Untold.

SUNSET: 22 - 26 Sept 2022

The Sunset Festival saw the return of some of the broader focus of our events including comedy, sports nights, wine tasting and food events.

Duration: 5 days. No of events: 45

The festival site was remodelled in 2022 with an open site which gave a more enhanced visitor offering and the opportunity for exhibitors and refreshments. The site was free to attend for non-ticket purchasers and allowed 'dwell time' for people to stay on-site longer. The SUNSET Festival had the addition of a 'street piano'.

Out of Festival Events:

A number of our of festival events including the first public events at New Wimbledon. The Festival hosted a high profile publication launch for the artist Ai Weiwei's paperback of his memoir. A further event was held at New Wimbledon Theatre in partnership with Alzheimer's UK for the Barbara Windsor's biography hosted by her husband Scott Mitchell and David Walliams. The closing event of the year was at Wimbledon Library with the author Jessie Burton.

Digital Events

A combination of audio and video recordings were released for a limited period in December - free of charge to view.

Schools Event & Projects:

Education Programme - Word Up

Participants:13,342 Schools: 95 (56 junior, 44 secondary) 7 London Boroughs

The education programme continues to be a very packed year-long programme of activity. It is primarily aimed at South-West London schools with an emphasis on the Borough of Merton and, increasingly, Wandsworth. 13,342 students from 95 primary and secondary schools took part in a Wimbledon BookFest project in 2022.

The biggest achievement in 2022 was the return of live in-person events for schools with 25 live events being held in the year. These included an amazing one-off event for secondary school racially minoritized students with 7 secondary schools attending - Black & Great. Events mainly took place at the SUNRISE and SUNSET Festivals as well a mini-festival of events at New Wimbledon Theatre. These culminated in a 'once in a lifetime' event with the astronaut Tim Peake. We did not relay events digitally as we did in 2020 and 2021 and concentrated on live delivery for the student experience.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Wimbledon Arts is supported by ticket sales, sponsorship, gifts and grants. In 2022 Wimbledon Arts continued to feel the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Audiences had not returned to pre-pandemic levels and not only was the festival hit by a slow return of audience to events but also unexpected cost increases from its suppliers in costs such land hire, marquees and set up.

The total income for the year was £540,416 (2021: £529,215). Total expenditure was £616,120 (2021: £530,482).

Taking into account income and expenditure, the charity made a net loss of £75,704 (2021: £1,267) for the year.

Going Concern

Given the size of the deficit in 2022, to ensure the charity continued to operate as a going concern, the charity implemented a number of measures for its 2023 activity. Sponsorship from long term partners was paid upfront which enabled cashflow for the year.

The festival returned to a single 10-day model as it had done pre-pandemic. It focused on cost reduction and switched to working with community partners and hiring existing venue spaces, as opposed to building a marquee structure. This has a net cost saving of £67.5k and also improves the organisation's environmental impact.

Wimbledon BookFest has committed to using existing venue spaces in the medium term as it rebuilds its financial stability. The festival has been asked to commission for two additional arts partner programme in 2024, both of which will bring in additional income with minimal additional expenditure. It will continue to hold its autumn festival in partner venues, containing costs following the loss in 2022.

VAT

The charity was advised of a retrospective obligation to register for VAT. A specialist consultant was appointed to carry out a detailed VAT analysis during 2023 and subsequently to deal with HMRC on behalf of the charity. Discussions with HMRC are ongoing but a provision will be made for the repayment of any liability once an agreement has been reached.

Reserves policy

The policy of the trustees is to build a surplus that covers three to six months turnover to meet unexpected challenges in income generation, and in order for the charity to continue its current activities while considering ways to raise additional funds.

The charity reserves were in deficit as of 31 December 2022 with the unrestricted fund standing at £(56,315) (2021 surplus: £19,389). This short term deficit was funded by long term sponsorship of £62,500 which was received in advance of the 2023 season. The steps taken by the charity to restructure its business model and operations should enable the charity to reduce the deficit at 31 December 2023 and return to a positive position by the end of December 2024.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WIMBLEDON ARTS

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wimbledon Arts ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 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.

Page 7

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WIMBLEDON ARTS

Independent examiner's statement - matters of concern identified

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination.

I would bring to the readers attention the comments in the trustee report concerning the significant deficit incurred in the year and the steps being taken to address this, as well as further comments concerning the financial future of the charity in light of the substantial amount of vat which will be due to HMRC. The charity has taken steps to amend its operational model which a view to breaking even in year one, and returning to a positive position in year two and the support of its sponsors has enabled the charity to draw up its future plans to return to financial sustainability.

At this point, the charity has implemented a strategy to enable it to continue as a going concern, but there continues to be some uncertainty pending the formal agreement with HMRC in regards to the vat liability which has yet to be finally quantified.

I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

  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

  2. 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; and

  3. 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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and recept is expected. if the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Sponsorship is recognised in the period to which the sponsorship relates.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK Corporation Tax purposes. Accordingly the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Financial Instruments

The charity elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" and Section 12 "Other Financial Instruments Issues" of FRS102 to all of its financial instrument.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction cots and are subsequently carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted a a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have ben acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognized at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and association assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
