## **ARTS CONNECTION - CYSWLLT CELF TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT)** 

## _FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021_ 

## **CHAIR'S REPORT** 

This year has been like no other year as much of it has been spent living through a global crisis. When Covid-19 catalysed a national lock down we had to abandon our plans and reshape our 2020/21 year. As a participatory arts charity we could see the potential to continue our work online and with the support of funding from the Moondance Foundation and the Community Foundation in Wales we were able to put together a series of online and offline artistic offerings. The Creative Online programme aimed to support people’s mental health and wellbeing and help reduce loneliness. Many of the sessions were open access and we had a range of ages from 5 -70+ participating. The main beneficiaries were from across Powys, Wrexham and Wales but we also had engagement from across the UK. 

With funds from the Regional Community Cohesion Grant we were able to support community cohesion in Wrexham. We had started delivering workshops, in drumming, photography and recycled jewellery with refugees and the local community but were interrupted by Covid-19. We could no longer deliver the project as intended and adapted it to create arts and crafts packs for refugee and ethnic minority families in Wrexham. We had the worksheets translated into Arabic. Our thanks to Lee from EYST and Elinor from the Red Cross for helping distribute the 50 packs. 

At our trustees annual Away Day held outdoors in September we updated our goals and business plan. We received positive feedback from our lead officer at the Arts Council of Wales (ACW): “...this business plan crucially responds effectively to Arts Connection’s clear strategic goals and builds upon the deep foundation and wealth of its professional, creative and social engagement experience...” 

We have been successful in renewing our Trusted Charity Mark after a rigorous assessment process. This is a nationally recognised award by NCVO ((National Council for Voluntary Organisations). It addresses all the essential areas necessary for the effective management and governance of a charity. 

We have seen changes to our board of trustees this year. We have welcomed new Trustees and said farewell to a number of long serving Trustees, including Martin Cavalot, our chair for the past nine years. 

Dux (Martin Duckers) Chair

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

Due to Covid-19 our usual delivery method of our projects was disrupted. We were able to quickly move our work online and continued to deliver a range of artistic workshops, events and opportunities. We had more volunteers work with us over the year and many were integral to the success of the projects we were running. Some projects were either cancelled or deferred until the next financial year. 

We have five creative programmes under which we deliver our charitable activities. 

Arts for All is our creative programme aimed all ages and abilities with a focus on families and older people. We delivered a range of projects including:

## **Our Volunteers**

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

We are successful at building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders and a range of partners. Through these relationships we are able to generate additional project funding, manage arts projects for other public and private agencies and work in partnership to create more opportunities for participation in high quality arts activity. We receive funding from a broad range of trusts, foundations, partner organisations and other funding bodies and continue to have the confidence of key funders, in particular the Arts Council of Wales. We continued to apply and receive funds at our usual level during Covid-19. Income is also generated from membership fees, participant fees, through the sale of services and equipment hire, although this avenue of income was severely affected by Covid-19. 

Policy and procedure related to financial record keeping is robust, staff have received training and support where required. The charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. 

The Board of Trustees have a Reserves Policy and Exit Strategy to mitigate the risks identified in our risk register, i.e. sudden funding cuts, delayed payments or other unforeseen financial problems. Our aim is to maintain a reserve that is equivalent to 3 months operational activity; this designated reserve is currently set at £25,000. 

Unrestricted funds, excluding fixed assets and designated reserves are £15,381 at the year end. Of this figure, £9,804 has been designated for projects and the Trustees consider the free reserves of £5,577 to be in accordance with our reserves policy and are therefore at an acceptable level. Risk 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed. They ensure that the appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. They have put systems in place, where practicable, to reduce exposure to these. We maintain a risk register based on identified risks, assessing their impact, and reducing and managing those risks which are regularly reviewed. 

## COVID-19 

The three staff members worked from home and were able to continue to work with a number of adaptations using remote technology. This meant that operations were minimally disrupted. Throughout the pandemic and lockdowns Trustees and staff regularly reviewed the standing of the charity in terms of staffing and fundraising. 

We were able to move our services online and continued to receive grants and donations at normal levels. Some of our activity was affected and we were unable to deliver all our commitments during the financial year. However, this was not a problem as extensions were given by funders and the moneys carried forward for projects to be delivered in the following financial year. As an outreach organisation we have few overheads and do not own our own building. This has meant that our level of reserves and designated funds have been unaffected.

## **FUNDRAISING PRACTICE POLICY** 

## Our Approach 

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and work in a way that is compliant with the Code of Fundraising Practice. We are signed up to the Fundraising Promise meaning we are committed to ensuring that our fundraising is legal, open, honest and respectful. 

We raise 1% of our income through fundraising. We have received ‘0’ complaints about our fundraising activities. 

## How We Fundraise 

We do not employ fundraising agencies, street fundraisers or undertake telephone fundraising programmes. 

Fundraising is undertaken by the staff team and they fundraise in the following ways: 

## Vulnerable People 

Where we have reason to believe an individual is vulnerable and lacks the capacity to make decisions around their financial giving then a donation will not be taken. 

If after the donation is taken we receive evidence that a person was in a vulnerable situation and lacked capacity to make the decision to donate, then the charity will return the donation, because it will be deemed that the original donation was invalid. 

## Complaints 

If you are unhappy with anything we’ve done whilst fundraising, you can report this to us using our Complaints Procedure. We will listen to feedback and respond appropriately to compliments and criticism we receive. 

If you cannot resolve these concerns you can contact the Fundraising Regulator directly.

Page 14 



## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

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

Plant and machinery 25% Straight line Any assets with an original value of £500 or over are counted as fixed assets for accounting purposes. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. From 1 April 2020, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over 4 years using the straight line depreciation method. 

## **Freehold investment property** 

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. 

## **Stocks** 

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market. 

## **Trade and other debtors** 

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

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Page 15 



## **Leased assets** 

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. 

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases. 

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. 

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. 

## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services** 

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity. 

## 2 **Company status** 

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
