Frome Festival Limited
Company Limited by Guarantee
Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report)
Year ended 31 October 2024
Structure, governance and management
Frome Festival is a company limited by guarantee registered in 2001 and a charity registered in 2007. Its governing document, the Articles of Association, was revised by unanimous vote at the 2016 annual general meeting. All registered Friends of the Festival are the members of the charitable company.
The small central team of Festival employees comprises the Director, Manager, and Bookkeeper who work from a small office in the town centre. The office is also the hub for volunteers to coordinate the activities of the sponsorship team, and to administer the Friends of Frome Festival scheme.
The Festival is supported additionally by a large body of volunteers in areas such as stewarding, brochure distribution, and participating in the Hidden Gardens scheme.
Objectives and activities
The charitable company (company registered in 2001; charity registered in 2007) exists to promote and organise a festival for Frome and the surrounding area. In practice, this has meant concentration on a full programme early in July since 2001.
We have only had to cancel the festival once, and this was in 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2024 we staged our biggest programme to date with a diverse and eclectic festival of over 250 events across over 50 venues throughout the town.
Our aim remains the same: to provide a broad and artistically diverse Festival, with a wide interpretation of the arts, culture, history and environmental concerns, through a mixture of local, regional and national performers, promoters and exhibitors. There is a strong emphasis on community involvement.
Throughout we have, of course, had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Board Activities
The board formally met on five occasions during the year from November 2023 to October 2024. We have an active and engaging board of trustees who endeavour to offer the governance and leadership of running a small arts charity. The board strives to provide the framework within which the Festival operates, and aims, through its membership, to reflect the diverse community which it serves. It creates and monitors policies to ensure compliance with regulations, and to reflect the needs of the Festival.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report)
Year ended 31 October 2024
All our board members actively support the Festival outside the formal meeting structure in areas as diverse as fund-raising, sponsorship, the Friends scheme, and programme distribution. These activities, and others such as stewarding (Sara Morris) are supported in turn by an extensive network of volunteers, without whom the Festival simply would not exist. We remain extremely grateful to them.
We want to say a heartfelt thanks to Suzanne Cooke for her years of support as a volunteer and in the sponsorship team. Sadly, Suzanne passed away earlier this year and our deepest condolences go her to her family.
The year marked the retirement of just three trustees including the following long-term members: Gail Snook, Rick Rycroft and Mick Randall. Endless thanks to these hardworking supporters of the festival.
Financial review
As is the case with many arts organisations nationwide, we continued to see notable cuts in fundraised income throughout the year. Funding from both charitable trusts and foundations and public funders are reduced from previous years, and where funding has been secured it is mostly restricted grants that does not address the core funding shortfall within the project. As such, project funding applications have focussed on building capacity within the team to maximise other forms of income generation, including securing grant funding to support a freelance fundraising professional and a new friends scheme management software.
We were delighted to see an increase in income from other sources to help to fill this gap within this financial year. Event submission fees from independent event organisers raised thanks to excellent engagement from new organisations in Frome and a raise in fees to help fully support delivery costs. Sponsorship income increased in this period, thanks in part to a major piece of event sponsorship from Lilley’s Cider towards The Festival Food Feast, one of Frome Festival’s most visible and popular annual events. We hope to continue to maximise this kind of event sponsorship in future years.
-
The Festival derives income from other sources including:
-
Brochure entry fees - the amount we charge organisers to appear in our printed and online programmes.
-
Sponsorship and advertising - support from local businesses.
-
The Friends of Frome Festival membership.
-
Our own festival events (e.g. The Bob Morris Lecture and Hidden Gardens.)
-
Other grants (e.g. Frome Community Lottery.)
-
Fund-raising activities (quizzes etc.)
We have a fund-raising and sponsorship team to look critically at all these areas to see where we can improve our processes and generate sufficient income to secure our future.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report)
Year ended 31 October 2024
Total funds held at the year-end were £16,585 (2023: £15,966), of which £13,104 relate to free reserves. The charity’s reserve policy is to hold free reserves of £30,000 to cover us for the 24 months if funding should be affected. It is intended to cover the time of maximum exposure for Frome Festival, which is normally around May/ June when there is considerable demand on funds to pay performers etc. At the time of the financial year end, our reserves will be at their lowest point. As we receive revenue from February onwards from grants, subscriptions, and sponsorship, we would expect that figure to reach our target by May.
Our stated policy is “To agree that taking due consideration of the time of year of maximum exposure to the company/ charity should it be forced to close, it would be appropriate to have a Policy which requires a Reserve of £30,000 until otherwise revised by the board. The most financially exposed time of the year being the months of May and June”.
Festival Office
The festival has had its offices in the Market Place for over 20 years courtesy of Eyetech Ltd. This has been a valuable and much appreciated asset, gifted to the festival from Eyetech.
Our Festival Director, Adam Laughton and his hard-working team delivered a superlative 2024 festival with over 250 events spread out over the ten days. Both Sarah Swales, Festival Manager, and Clare Lloyd, Bookkeeper, have taken on the challenge of supporting Adam and have proven to be extremely hard working and committed to making a success of the festival.
Our grateful thanks go to this much valued and exceptionally hard-working team whose ‘unpaid’ extra hours and unnerving calm in the chaos of the festival itself, are respected and praised by the board of trustees. We wish them all the greatest success with Frome Festival 2025!
Risk Review
The charity regularly considers the risks to which the charity is exposed at Trustees’ meetings. Our main risks are physical, the chance of a serious accident, and financial, possible insolvency.
We review our health & safety policy, and all other policies, annually and a trustee is the Board’s first contact on safety matters, and the venues for most events are public buildings duly licensed by the local authority.
In line with Charities Commission guidance a Reserves Policy was formalised by the Board in April 2020. Our insurance cover, negotiated annually, is arranged by a specialist broker, and a designated trustee deals with insurance matters subject to the Board’s approval. We carefully check the public-liability insurance of promoters and performers as appropriate. There have
4
Frome Festival Limited

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report)
Year ended 31 October 2024
so far been no claims on our insurance and no serious incidents have been reported affecting public safety.
Our insurance of course covers the office, and we have certificated employer-liability cover. Our landlords, who practice as opticians on the ground floor of the premises, are alert to safety and insurance issues.
The Board receives regular reports from our bookkeeper and has appointed an experienced board member to provide advice and support on our financial situation. We receive no loans and own no real estate. We are mindful that our Articles of Association provide for action in insolvency; if the finances were to become perilous, we have the options: to take a fallow year; to present a smaller and thus probably more exclusive programme (which would be a retrograde step); or to cease operating and wind the company up. The trustees consider that the company is a going concern with no material uncertainties affecting it.

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

1 Accounting policies
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention (except where otherwise stated in the accounting policy note) and 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 the Companies Act 2006.
The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties affecting the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.
Income
Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, 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.
Legacies are included on a receivable basis where charity is entitled to the income, it can be measured reliably and receipt is probable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is not included in income but is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Investment income is included on a receivable basis.
Donations in kind comprise donated services where the costs are measurable and the services would otherwise have to be paid for to maintain operational effectiveness.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
Charitable Activities
Grants awarded are allocated to charitable activities.
Grants awarded are treated as expenditure and a liability in the accounts as soon as they become legal or constructive obligations. In the case of multi-year grant awards, the funding for all years is immediately recognised unless there are conditions which need to be met by the recipient to enable the release of subsequent years’ funding.
