KENT FILM FOUNDATION End of YearTrustee Report information and details of management for the year ended 31st March 2024.

The organlsation was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charltable company and Is governed under Its Articles of Assoclation. The company Is 8overned by a management committee. All Member trusteeshlp is reviewed each year where they are ell8ible for re-electlon or retlrement. The organisation was founded by the awaTd-winnin8 filmmakerjan Dunn who remains involved with the management team of the board of Trustees as one of the named dlrectors as approved unanimously by all Trustees. Reserves Pollcy. It remains an aim of the charity to build a net of "free reserves" In the event of Insufflcient funding bid success. However. this continues to remain very difficult when many of the funding applications do not cover overhead at all, and if they do- an Insignificant portion of this could be allocated as a reserve/surplus. One of the ways the charity has managed to continue. and now grow. is by having no salaried staff and instead by hiring freelance arts practitioners. This helps two-fold, in keeping spendlng to that whlch is necessary and also in supporting the creative freelanr network to access local work from Kent Film Foundation, retaining talent in the region. Reserves listed at end of year come to £38,110 but this is all grant-funded raised income whith is for specific allocated spendin8 relatin8 either to the youth film clubs or our screenings and screening events.
The chartty has a savings account with the Charity Bank ralsed from donations towards our attempt to acquire the old Granville Cinema, Ramsgate in 2022 from Thanet District Council. Kent Film Foundation had spent five years in the pursuit of acquiring the building at the time of the previous tenant's looming exit by having the building registered as an "Asset of Community Value" in 2019. At the helm and alongside five other community arts groups locally. our application for a CommunityAssetTransfer was denied and Thanet Distrlct Council instead, sold the building on the open market to a commercial company wtth no history of community work and no intention Inor know-how) of running a cinema and promptly dosed it and then pernianently closed It as a cinema. Therefore, all the funds donated were offered back to each indtvidual doner. Two people asked forthelr£lOdonations back. This meantwe had approximately 12Kslttin8 in the charlty bank. This wa5 Still in the account atthe end of March 2024 but shortly into the new financial year we have used 8K from it (plus a further donatlon of SK from an individuall to cover the costs of rentin8 and refurblshing our premises at No64 which we have turned into a community cinema. The building came to our notice for very low rent. With the help of 60 residents giving their time for free, we have transformed it by up-cycling materials already at the buildin8. For example, the old chan8ln8 rooms from the previous Cats-ln-crises charlty shop have been reformed and framed Into a downstalrs accessible loo. Ramsgate communlty cinema operates a pay-what-you-can system and the audience Is growing and at the point of complling this trustee report, we have secured a club premises Ilcence. Thls means forthe first tlme the organisation has a small income revenue other than grant reliance. However, having a premises again does also ralse our spending, Therefore, at the moment it Is stlll relatively unlikely to be in a position to raise "free reserves" but It continues to be an aim. Current Funders In order to run and facllitate all our Programmes Induding the new communlty cinema venture, our funders over the course of thls financial year land over-flowlng into 2024} Include: Colyer Fergusson Charitynweed Foundation/Kent Communlty FoundationlRams8ate Town Coundl and Film Hub South East. The charlty are extremety 8ratefvl for all funded silPPOrt, especially as most of our funders return to fund us a8aln due to their genulne belief in the significant difference our work makes to our community but with a specific emphasis on young people. regardless of whether thev are lookin8 for medla careers or not. It takes the bi&writing and a significant number of grant funding applications to submit each year to be even at all successful and our volunteer bid writers, time has paid off this year in garnering continued funded support. particularly from the si8nificant level of support from Colyer Fergusson and frequent support from the Kent Community Foundation- it cannot be under-estimated how much competition there is for their funding. We would like to state our
gratitude in this report on behalf of our young residents and the wlder community for this contlnued support. This year we welcomed our first successful funding for our long-hoped for Wildlife/Nature cinematography youth workshops from The Tweed Family Charitable Foundation. This is small family inltiative of the Tweed family to support projects that have a social impact for young people growing up disadvantaged, like our demographic of young people and the majority of our board. As our team of mentors and our trustees all consider themselves genuine environmentalists, we are delighted to finally get a youth environmental project underway. The fund specifically pays for the wildlife mentorlsl Keith Ross {Countryfile/Sprln8Watch) and enhanced by fleld trlps wlth naturalist, Nick Mttchell another well respected local wildllfe photographer. Thls 8roup has already garnered Iwithln Just two sessions) a short-listed Kent Wildlrfe PhotO8rapher of the Year Award {Under-18s category) for one fourteen-year-old boy. We aim to prep young members of the group to start thlnking about other photO8raphy competitions and displayin8 their works and we have industry sessions planned with them. At the point of submittln8this Trustee reportAndrew Tweed has expressed how Impressed he Is and the foundation Is strongly hinting at another year of 5UPPOrt which will secure Kelth for another whole year of mÈntorin8 as well as cover costs of some field trips including Nlck Mitchell. We hope this year to raise grant fundlng to secure another Hlgh Street venue once our short term period at No64 ceases in the autumn. This is utterly crucial to the continuatlon and growth of the charlty. Actlvltles and ObJectlves The aims and objectives of the organlsatlon remaln the same.

Our numbers of participants are slowly growing once again. The fact that we offerthem for FREE is our unique and considerable factor. we can only do this by raising grant fundin8 to pay for the
professional film/arts practltioners we hire and for the equipment available for them to use. The new wildlife group has been a huge hlt wlth young people and also the film mentor5 too. We began by capturing wildlife at St Luke's Church Hall frequently but over the past year, usingthe RamsgateTown Council funded trail camera funding alongside the Kent Community Foundation di8ital funding that purchased the camera/filmlnedit1ng equipment, we have Ilowed young people to take cameras home overnight to capture wildlife. We are currently in discussions with the Ramsgate Cemetery ground staff about setting up hedgehog houses and trail cameras. We have a slot booked at Ramsgate Film Festival, now we are officiallv partnering with them in our premises, to screen films made by the young people and about the workwe are doin& New Premlses Acqulsttlw Helped by NUMEROUS Volunteer& We took occupancy of No64 High Street. Ramsgate in November 2023, launching in January after eventually getting in mld-december and transformin8 the building in just three weeks. The rental fee is very low as it Is only officially avallable for 9 months, although we have susplclon, we shall be In situ for quite some time longer. Good will from the trustees Iparticularty our Chair Emlynl has been overwhelming. Helmed by founder, Jan Dunn, we have built superb local support and good will. All the youth mentors have been prepared to 8lve many hours of their time, particularly filmmaker Joanne Postlewalte, to empty and clear out the old Cats In Crises shop fittln8s and fixtures. Patron Brenda Blethyn has also been very proactive and given tremendous support to the transformation of the bullding into a small community cinema with multi purpose use for youth workshops too. We have completely emptied the buildin& stripped It back and be8inning from scratch.

We will be sharin8 the building with the CIC. Ramsgate Internatlonal Film Festival. The festival applied to Ramsgate Town Council to cover the costs of the important pieces of equipment that we don't have funding for. The projectorlelettric screen/chairslsound system. However, of the 3500 we needed, they onty approved for 2500. The shortfall has been covered by generous equipment donations from local people and local businesses who want to see a cinema in the town again.
Funding staff & support of volunteers The organisation remains a grant-reliant tharity and whilst thls is so, we shall contlnue to hire freelance film/arts prattitioners. The numbers of volunteer5 are likely to raise now that we are partnering more officially with the Ramsgate Film Festival. They alone have 40 volunteers connected with their pro8ramming and runnin8 of events including many young people interested In arts/festival curating careers. All funding bld writing is undertaken voluntarlly as we have no funded staff. The volunteers who have helped us create the cinema runs to around 60 people including some of the trustees. Thls Flnandal Y As at polnt of submission there Is approxlmately 21K in the combined current and savings account for the organisation. All of this is accounted for with regard to continued expenditure. l)eclaratlons Although she Is not a Trustee herself, the Kent Fllm Foundation board of trustees unanlmously approve continued paymentto the founder. Jan Dunn who is listed as one of the Directors, in her capacity as film consultantlmentor to continue in her capacity as project managin8 the youth workshops and a5 ActingCEO to undertake administration where needed and conslder this a fundin8 priority. The board of trustees also accept that an allowance towards her utillty bllls should be forthcomin8 when funding allows for overheads. The trustees also reco8nise that the sheer volume of voluntary work she undertakes for the charity cannot be under- estlmated, much of which she recefves no remuneration for and Is undertaken around her own professlonal work and her caring responslbllltles as a sln8le parent.

The board of trustees also unanimously accept that should the opportunlty arlse through various funding attempts, to be8in a youth theatre side to the or8anisation, Marie Kelly- Thomas can be remunerated rf she is called upon for her specific skills and fundln8 allows.

Current statu We now have occupancy of the empty shop on the hlgh street which 15 now Ramsgate Communlty Clnema. We are there untll the autumn at whlch polnt it Is due for demolition. The landlord has offered for us to remain there on a month-by-month basis. We are currently writin8 fundin8-bids in the hope of ralsing core costs to enable a move to a longer term, more pernianent premises. At this moment there are at least three vacant buildln85 on the High street that have stood there empty in the long-term, whlch would be our first options once we have successfully raised the grant fundin8. The core costs may well come wlth some of the current vouth-focussed fundln8 bids we are submitting at the moment but often overheads are not allowed.
