Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity. It is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association dated 14th November 2009. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £10.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
New trustees are recruited by ensuring vacancies are advertised and promoted locally through a range of methods including social media, voluntary sector support agencies and through supporting young people who are beneficiaries to become trustees. Trustees can be co-opted during the year by the trustee board or voted on by members at the AGM.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
Our aim is to create positive change for young people and the local community. We encourage young people in St. Ann’s and surrounding areas of Nottingham to develop their skills and abilities by co-creating programs of music and other creative activities. We encourage and inspire them to participate in society as independent, mature, responsible adults. We also advance the education of the public in music and the art and science of studio recording.
Objectives, strategies and activities
CRS is a creative space staffed by skilled workers and volunteers. It includes a recording studio, in addition to other arts-based provision enhanced with support, guidance and help for the community based in the St Ann’s and surrounding areas of Nottingham.

Trustees' Report
CRS achieves its objectives by providing a range of activities and services to benefit young people, these comprise:
-
informal music and arts programs;
-
creative projects including showcases and performances;
-
young mentorship programs;
-
outreach community work;
-
entry to work, through work experience, support in volunteering and training in a wide variety of genres;
-
support and guidance.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
CRS supports young people in developing skills in areas such as music, media, performing, photography, recording, fashion, drama and filming; thereby developing their personal and social skills, and achieving their aspirations and fulfilling their potential.
Achievements and performance
The year 2021 started with some uncertainty due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but our team responded with agility, pragmatism and dedication to the challenges brought about by the temporary closure of the indoor facilities at Lowdham Street in Nottingham. The enthusiasm and effectiveness with which we moved to offering support to the community both in the form of COVID-safe outdoor and digitally supported, remote sessions is testament to our creativity and dedication. Towards the end of the year, we were able to re-open our facilities and continue to offer a safe space in which young people can develop and learn.
Financial review
In the financial year, CRS reported an income of £222,238 (2020: £371,167) These funds enabled us to provide the community with both tangible support in the form of care packages, and remote support through the development of our digital platform. As has been observed in other areas of society as the world comes out of lockdown, CRS will retain the most beneficial aspects of offering remote digital support as well as developing the facilities at Lowdham Street in Nottingham.
We continued to invest in the establishment of more robust governance, Safeguarding and support structures in cognisance of the fact that CRS is larger and more complex than it was thirty years ago.
The deficit of income over expenditure was £61,895, which together with the funds brought forwards of £192,050 resulted in reserves carried forwards of £130,155. This consisted of unrestricted funds of £73,664 and restricted funds of £56,491, represented by a bank balance of £79,872 and net assets of £50,283.
Policy on reserves
CRS policy is to maintain sufficient level of reserves to enable normal operating activities to continue for a period of up to three months should a shortfall in income occur and to take account of potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time.
Plans for future periods
Community Recording Studio was founded by Trevor Rose in 1991, and this year we embarked on our fourth decade of continued support to the local community in St. Ann’s and the surrounding area in Nottingham. This is a year in which we will continue to refurbish and enhance the creative space that we acquired through generous donations in June 2020. We will be hosting an Open Day in May in order to reflect on our history, celebrate our successes and showcase our plans for the future.

Trustees' Report
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Community Recording Studio for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and 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 are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and 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 companies provision statement
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Community Recording Studio
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Community Recording Studio ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 November 2021.
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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 November 2021
1 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
Community Recording Studio meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
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 charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Page 9
Community Recording Studio
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 November 2021
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity 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.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the 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 of the 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.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £300.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Computer equipment | 33.3% straight line |
| Furniture and equipment | 33.3% straight line |
| Land and buildings | 0% |
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 November 2021
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
