Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Company

The Trust manages two buildings: the Tabernacle (a multidisciplinary arts centre); and the Yaa Centre (a carnival arts development centre). It hosts two steel band organisations (Mangrove and Ebony) and ACASA (formally known as Association of Calypso Artists UK). The Trust grant aids the British Association of Steel Bands (“BAS”).

b. Key performance indicators

The Trusts partners continue to deliver excellence within the carnival and combined arts sector. Both Steelbands nurture new talent by hosting weekly steelpan lesson at The Tabernacle and Yaa Centre for children and adults alike. The home- grown talent fostered in the pan yards at the Trust venues ensures that each year players join their Trinidadian counterparts and join bands in Trinidad to compete in the International Panorama Championships.

c. Review of activities

During the period of these accounts, the Trust, as with many organisations has been seriously impacted by the Covid pandemic. The Trust manages two buildings: the Tabernacle (a multidisciplinary arts centre); and the Yaa Centre (a carnival arts development centre). Both buildings have had serious restrictions placed on them that have limited their operations. Closure of the hospitality sector to mitigate against the pandemic has meant that the organisation has had to curtail its activities and rely heavily on Government funding such as the furlough scheme, rate relief and additional recovery grants. It has attempted to put some activities on-line particularly activities for children and young people. The pandemic has also impacted on the Trust’s partner organisations: Ebony, Mangrove, ACASA and BAS. Each of these has looked to maintain its activities on-line with varying degrees of success.

The Trust’s subsidiary company, Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, had to make the very difficult decision to take the Carnival off the streets of Notting Hill and to instead deliver a high-quality on-line offering. This was a considerable challenge that the organisation embraced and delivered. The online event which ran for two days, gained a significant following on social media with over 7 million views.

d. Notting Hill Carnival Ltd

The Trust is the parent company to Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary is now in its fourth year of working with the Carnival Community to deliver Notting Hill Carnival, which is second only to Brazil’s Rio Carnival in size and is now one of the globe's largest annual arts events. Notting Hill Carnival is considered to be the largest street event in Europe. Whilst Notting Hill Carnival is rooted in Caribbean culture, with its Windrush generation influence remaining strongly evident, it is at the same time characteristically ‘London’ – today's modern London.

Notting Hill Carnival Ltd board met monthly to oversee the planning and delivery of the Carnival. The Board is supported by an Advisory Council (the Council) of twelve members, made up of Carnival arts representatives, community and cultural interests representatives, specialist advisers and a Sankofa Arena ( Carnival pioneers). The Advisory Council held a number of meetings to discuss and consider various matters relating to Carnival.

e. Operational and Safety Planning Group

Senior staff attended and contributed to all meetings of the Operational and Safety Planning Group (OSPG) comprising representatives of the key agencies involved in the Carnival. The OSPG considered and approved all event plans that were prepared for the Carnival. Senior staff and the chair of the Board attended all meetings of the Strategic Partners Group (SPG) comprising senior representatives of all key agencies involved in Carnival.

Achievements and performance (continued)

f. Review of year

For 2020 Notting Hill Carnival Ltd continued to strengthen the Community Stewarding programme. Engaging with the local community, providing opportunities for local people to be part of the strategic success of the event. NHC explored the opportunities at making the event more sustainable and environmentally friendly with the introduction of LED powered lighting for Panorama and LED powered generators for the judging zone. There was also the introduction of water fountains supplied by Thames Water made available in which was one of the hottest bank holidays on record and one of the busiest Notting Hill Carnivals with an estimated two million attendance over the weekend.

As the financial year came to an end and the Trust was starting on its spring programme the landscape of the world changed with the arrival of the Covid 19 pandemic. Both venues closed its doors on the 23 March and many of the staff were furloughed. The Trust’s board met weekly to agree on the strategy to steer the organisation through unprecedented times.

Financial review

a. Going concern

The Trust's core funding is as a National Portfolio Organisation (“NPO”) with Arts Council England (“ACE”). This funding was maintained during the pandemic and enable the Trust to ensure that it and its partners could bounce back quickly once Government restrictions were lifted. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea also continued with its support of the Trust and the Tabernacle.

The Trust’s trading subsidiary Tabernacle W11 Ltd, was placed in a very difficult position due to the enforced closure of the bar, restaurant and theatre space. Working as a Group and with the support of its funders, the Trust was able to ensure this aspect of its work was able to remain financially viable and ready to resume activity once restrictions were lifted.

The Trust monitors its cash flows very carefully and has prepared projections, which show that the Trust will continue to have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due over the next twelve months.

However, this is dependent upon many unknowns due to the nature of the pandemic and the response from the Government.

The Trustees believe that having considered the matters above it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

b. Reserves policy

The trustees have considered the need for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation and its subsidiaries. The charity is dependent on two main sources of income: grants and traded services. Traded services are delivered primarily through TabernacleW11 Ltd, the charity’s wholly owned subsidiary. All profits from traded activities are gift aided to the charity. Tabernacle has put in place a flexible staffing structure, which ensures that it can reduce or increase staffing as needed. The charity’s other subsidiary, Notting Hill Carnival Ltd is funded through a number of grants. Many services are delivered through contractors. This provides flexibility to adapt to situations as they arise. The charity is dependant primarily on its grant from the Arts Council. Should this or any other grant cease, the charity would be given sufficient notice to allow it to adjust its workforce and activities to ensure it remained financially viable. Having assessed the risks, the trustees consider that the structures that they have put in place in the charity and its subsidiaries mitigates against the need for significant reserves. Nevertheless, the trustees are keen to build reserves in order that they are not placed in a difficult financial position should unexpected costs arise. The trustees are seeking to build a reserve that is equivalent to 8% of its turnover. It is anticipated that this can be achieved over the next two years.

CARNIVAL VILLAGE TRUST (A company limited by guarantee)

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021

Structure, governance and management

The Trust is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association ("'the Articles"). The Trust has two trading subsidiaries, TabernacleW11 Ltd and Notting Hill Carnival Ltd ( collectively the Group). Each subsidiary has independent directors.

The Trustees of the Trust are the only Members of the Trust.

The following organisations (who are founding members) each have the right to appoint one Trustee known as a Nominee Trustee:

The minimum number of Trustees is four. Any person, who is willing to act as a Trustee and is permitted by law and the Articles to do so, may be appointed to be a Trustee by special resolution.

The Trust’s board is diverse by ethnicity, gender and age.

The Trustees have received legal and financial advice throughout the year that supports their statutory and accountable responsibilities. The Board meets at least five times each year to receive the management accounts and update from the Trust Director on current, past and future activities.

Trustees are not entitled to receive any payments of money or other material benefit from the Trust except in reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or any liabilities.

a. Trading subsidiaries

The Trust is the sole shareholder of TabernacleW11 Ltd ("TW11'), a company set up to manage its trading activities at the Tabernacle and Notting Hill Carnival Ltd (“NHC”) set up as a vehicle to manage the Notting Hill Carnival. TW11 continues to manage the Tabernacle, including the provision of catering, food and beverage services. All profits from TW11 are gift aided to the Trust to support its charitable objects.

The Trust has reviewed the operation of its trading subsidiaries with a view to reporting more clearly on its charitable and non-charitable activities. In addition, it has considered how best to share services across the Group to be more economic, efficient and effective and has restructured its staffing structure to support this

Location and activity

The Trust holds two separate long-term leases; a twenty-year lease from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea with waived rent on the Tabernacle and a thirty-year lease from the City of Westminster at peppercorn rent on the Yaa Centre.

Structure, governance and management (continued)

b. Risk

The organisation reviews the risks it faces on a regular basis and takes steps to mitigate these as far as is practical. It maintains a central risk log for the Trust and its subsidiaries which sets out risk mitigation strategies.

The fraud committed by a former employee identified a significant financial risk to the Trust and its subsidiaries. The Trust has given careful consideration to the payment plan that it has agreed with HMRC and has reassured itself that this can be met from funds generated by activities within the Group. HMRC agreed to a reduction in payments during the pandemic to assist the Group’s cash flow.

Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street event in the world and presents its own significant risks. The Trust has taken steps to mitigate these risks by the setting up of a subsidiary company as a vehicle to manage this aspect of its work.

c. Information on fundraising practices

The Trust derives its income from grant funding from a range of funders and from the traded activities in relation to food and beverage at the Tabernacle and hire of spaces at both the Tabernacle and Yaa centre. This aspect of fundraising is incorporated into the Trust’s business plan.

The Trust does not engage professional fundraisers and does not engage in collections or appeals. The Trust is aware of the Fundraising Code of Practice and how and when it applies to its fundraising.

Notting Hill Carnival Ltd secures additional funding and support through sponsorship. There was considerable support of over £1 million provided during this period from a range of sponsors who assisted in the on-line delivery. Funding from key strategic partners was also maintained through agreements with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the City of Westminster and the Greater London Authority.

Independent auditors' report to the Members of Carnival Village Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Carnival Village Trust (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities, the consolidated balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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:

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, 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 Trustees' 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 Group's or the parent charitable company'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 auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, 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 Group's and the parent charitable company's 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 Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 10

CARNIVAL VILLAGE TRUST

(A company limited by guarantee)

Independent auditors' report to the Members of Carnival Village Trust (continued)

Auditors' 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 auditors' 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism through the audit. We also:

  1. Assessed the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud may occur.

  2. Held discussions with the client regrading their policies and procedures on complience with laws and regulations.

  3. Held discussions with the client regarding their policies and procedures on fraud risks, including knowledge of any actual suspected or alleged fraud.

We consider the entity's controls effective in identifying fraud. We do not consider there to be significant difficulty in detecting irregularaties.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors' report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements.

The Trustees have reviewed the budgets and associated cash flows for a period of twelve months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. Based on these projections the Trustees feel the Trust will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and to continue as a going concern.

On this basis the Trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the Financial Statements on a going concern basis. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may arise if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Company, can be reliably measured.

Grants are included in the consolidated statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.

Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the Company's accounting policies.

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Company which is the amount it 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.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure (continued)

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Government grants

Grants that become receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the company are recognised as income in the period in which it becomes receivable on an accruals basis and recognised immediately in profit and loss.

2.6 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Group; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Long-term leasehold property - Over the lifetime of the lease
Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance
Office equipment - 25% reducing balance
Computer equipment - 25% reducing balance

2.8 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the consolidated statement of financial activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

2.9 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.11 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

2.12 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.13 Financial instruments

The Group 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 measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.14 Pensions

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year.

2.15 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgment:

Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 13 for the carrying amount of the assets and note 2.7 for the useful economic lives of the assets.

As at 31 March 2021 the group owed £132,031 (2020 - £154,251) to HMRC. The Trustees and their advisors have negotiated a time to pay arrangement with HMRC. As at the date of signing these financial statements, an arrangement has been agreed whereby instalments of £4,000 per month are being made against the debt. The Trust has issued legal proceedings to recover the losses arising from the fraud that led to the debt. It has secured a High Court judgement against one party and is in the process of managing the proceedings against another party.

Of this debt £120,063 (2020 - £137,144) relates to a group VAT registration covering both the Charity and its trading subsidiaries. This liability is recognised in the group accounts but not recorded in the individual charity's records as the payments are being made on behalf of the group by TabernacleW11 Limited. In the event of the Time to Pay arrangement not being kept to the debt would fall fue on both entities. The Time to Pay arrangement is subject to six monthly review by HMRC.
