**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles, the Companies Act 2006and "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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity's objects are to foster and develop the arts in the unitary council area of Milton Keynes and adjoining areas. To achieve this we carry out a range of activities including providing Arts Central creative studios for subscribing members, promoting and delivering creative programmes including MK Litfest across the area and The Box Arts Club at Arts central, and supporting information and regular networking events in Milton Keynes. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in  deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

We added a further 8 studios at Arts Central and continued to develop our creative hub at 20, Burners Lane Kiln Farm, which we hold on a 12-year lease. Over the year we accommodated around 110 creatives in workspaces there, with up to 70 at any time. We completed construction and fit-out of our new presentation space, The Box Arts Club, that allows public access to a wide range of public exhibition and performance, reinstating the programmes delivered from our previous premises. We funded the space from generous grants from the Arts Council, Garfield Weston Foundation, Mazars Trust and MK City Council as well as our own resources. 

We continued MK Litfest across several strands including online and year-round, as well as face-to-face, we supported programmes in partnership with MK Library Service, The Open University, The Parks Trust and Westbury Arts Centre, we delivered a pilot community programme which focused on young people, and published the third in our series of MinK anthologies of new work. Our programmes also drew on a partnership with sister organisation Community Arts Resources Centre, CARC CIC, providing technical equipment for low-cost hire. 

We remained active participants in AHA MK, the umbrella for MKs Arts and Heritage sector, and in the SEMLEP Creative and Cultural advisory group until its closure at the end of the year. 

## **Financial review** 

During the year incoming resources were £186,195 predominantly from our studios at Arts Central and significant grants from MK City Council, an increase from £146,409 the year before. After capitalising the costs of building project for depreciation over the remaining ten years of the lease, our spending during the 2023/24 year was £195,427 compared to £151,038 the year before. We ended the year with balances of £86,089 being a reduction of £4,629 on the previous year. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level that will meet aggregate expectations of liability, assessed by Trustees in 2018 as around £25k to be kept under review. This was generally achieved during 2023/24, which ended with £57,987 unrestricted funds. The charity had restricted reserves from grants previously received of £22,076 at the start, and £18,825 at the end of the 23/24 year, again primarily for MK LitFest. The Charity has no endowments or legacies. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the short-term risks. The Board is preparing strategies to mitigate the risk of not having premises at conclusion of our Burners Lane lease in April 2030.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Plans for the future** 

Our current plans for the future revolve around three key issues: 

- Maintaining and improving our premises at Burners Lane, including developing varied programmes targeted at neighbouring communities and at the needs of studio-holders and AGMK members. 

- Delivering a broader service to creatives across Milton Keynes, both within literature through MK LitFest programmes and within visual arts through programmes in Central MK and in The Box arts Club. 

- Developing a premises strategy for growth and survival of Arts Central beyond the end of our current lease at Burners Lane.

All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Potential trustees with an interest in the arts and with skills to contribute to the charity's strategy and development are recruited from the local Milton Keynes community. The Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for up to 12 Trustees to be appointed by the Board, currently with no time limit on period served. The Board from time to time identifies skill gaps we would like filled. Where suitable candidates are identified they are invited for an informal conversation and to observe at a board meeting. 

Incoming Trustees are required to accept the charity's policies and Trustee Duties, Responsibilities and  Code of Conduct. 

The Board intends to increase the number of Trustees and ensure we remain fit for purpose going forward. None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ARTS GATEWAY MK LIMITED** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Arts Gateway MK Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **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** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

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 

3. 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 

4. 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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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. 

## **TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Land and building - 10% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost 

## **TAXATION** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **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. 

## **PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **GOING CONCERN** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
