Place of operation: Ramsgate Community Cinema, 64 High Street, Ramsgate crii 9RS
Governlng Documentatlon{s)
Kent Film Foundation is a registered charity and a company limited byguarantee incorporated
at Companies House on 4th June 2010 and registered as a charlty on 26th October 2010. The
organisation was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the
objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of
Association. The company is governed by a management committee. All Members,
trusteeship is reviewed each year where they are eligible for re-elertion or retirement. The
organisation was founded by the award-winning filmmaker Jan 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 insufficient
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 spending to that which is necessary and also in
supporting the creative freelancer 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 which is for specific allocated spending relating either to the
youth film clubs or our screenings and screening events.

The charity has a savings account with the Charity Bank raised 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 District Council
instead, sold the building on the open market to a commercial company with no history of
community work and no intention (nor know-how) of running a cinema and promptly closed
it and then permanently closed it as a cinema.
Therefore, all the funds donated were offered back to each individual doner. Two people
asked for their £10 donations back. This meant we had approximately 12K sitting in the charity
bank. This was still in the account at the end of March 2024 but shortly into the new financial
year we have used 8K from it (plus a further donation of SK from an individual} to cover the
costs of renting and refurbishing 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 building. For example, the old changing rooms from the previous Cats-in-crises charity
shop have been reformed and framed into a downstairs accessible loo.
Ramsgate communlty cinema operates a pay-what-you-can system and the audience is
growing and at the point of compiling this trustee report, we have secured a club premises
licence. This means for the first time the organisation has a small income revenue other than
grant reliance. However, having a premises again does also raise our spending. Therefore, at
the moment it is still 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 faalitate all our programmes including the new community cinema
venture, our funders over the course of this financial year (and over-flowing into 2024)
include..
Colyer
Fergusson
Chartynweed
Foundation/Kent
Community
Foundation/Ramsgate Town Council and Film Hub South East.
The charity are extremely grateful for all fvnded support, especially as most of our funders
return to fund us again due to their genuine belief in the significant difference our work makes
to our community but with a specific emphasis on young people, regardless of whether they
are looking for media careers or not.
It takes the bid-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 significant 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 wider community for this
continued 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 a
small family initiative 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 mentor(s) Keith Ross
(Countryfile/SpringWatch) and enhanced by field trips with naturalist, Nick Mitchell another
well respected local wildlife photographer. This group has already garnered {within just two
sessions) a short-listed Kent Wildlrfe Photographer of the Year Award {Under-185 category)
for one fourteen-year-old boy. We aim to prep young members of the group to start thinking
about other photography competitions and displaying their works and we have industry
sessions planned with them. At the point of submittlng this Trustee report Andrew Tweed has
expressed how impressed
he is and the foundation is strongly hinting at another year of support which will secure Keith
for another whole year of mentoring as well as cover costs of some field trips including Nick
Mitchell.
We hope this year to raise grant funding to secure another High Street venue once our short
term period at No64 ceases in the autumn. This is utterly crucial to the continuation and
growth of the charity.
Artlvltles and ObJectlves
The aims and objectives of the organisation remain the same.
As listed at the Charity Commlssion these are:
(i) ro advan￿ the educat/on and training of disenfrandpised teenagers who are not
in emp/oymen¢ educabon or training.
(2) To help youngpeople espeaa//y but nrt exdu&ve/y thmugh leisure time
attivities so as to develop their capabilities that they maygmw to fu// maturity as
individuals and members ofsoaety.
(3) Enhan￿ the life of the elderly by use of film.
(4) Arts Facilitstlng
(5) Environmentsl aWa￿nesS and responsibilty for young people
Our objectives are achieved in various ways. The film clubs are running again now after
difficulties of recruiting young people back out into face-to-face activities. Our numbers of
participants are slowly growingonce again. The fattthat we offer them for FREE is our unique
and considerable factor, we can only do this by raising grant funding to pay for the

professional film/arts practitioners we hire and for the equipment available for them to use.
The new wildlife group has been a huge hit with young people and also the film mentors too.
We began by capturing wildlife at St Luke's Church Hall frequently but over the past year,
usingthe Ramsgate Town Council funded trail camera funding alongside the Kent Community
Foundation digital funding that purchased the camera/filmin&lediting equipment, we have
allowed 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 officially
partnering with them in our premises, to screen films made by the young people and about
the work we are doin&
New Premlses Acqulsltion Helped by NUMEROUS Volunteers.
We took occupancy of No64 High Street, Ramsgate in November 2023, launching in January
after eventually getting in mid-december and transforming the building in just three weeks.
The rental fee is very low as it is only officially available for 9 months, although we have a
suspicion, we shall be in situ for quite some time longer.
Good will from the trustees (particularly our Chair Emlynl has been overwhelmin8. Helmed
by founder, Jan Dunn, we have built superb local support and good will. All the youth mentors
have been prepared to give many hours of their time, particularly filmmaker Joanne
Postlewaite, to empty and clear out the old Cats in Crises shop fittlngs and fixtures. Patron
Brenda Blethyn has also been very proactlve and given tremendous support to the
transformation of the building into a small communty cinema with multi purpose use for
youth workshops too. We have completely emptied the buildin& strlpped it back and
beginning from scratch. Donations have paid for the professional work from a
builder/plumber/electriclan but everything else has been time given for free from many
people including over 211F young people from Broadstairs College construction. They came in
four groups over two days, one in the morning and one in the afternoon but many of the
young people wanted to stay to help once their group was dismissed. It has been absolutely
incredible.
The young film club members put together a film about the process, helped by filmmaker Jo
Postlewaite, our main filmingjediting youth mentor. This can be viewed on Vimeo here:

Everything in the building has been upcycled to build inner rooms including an edit suite. a
downstairs, accessible toilet, café-bar and a studio/greenscreen filming area.
We will be sharingthe building With the CIC, Ramsgate International 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 projector/electric screen/chairs/sound system. However,
of the 3500 we needed, they only 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 or8anisation remains a grant-reliant charity and whilst this is so, we shall continue to hire
freelance film/arts practitioners. The numbers of volunteers are likely to raise now that we
are partnering more officially with the Ram5gate Film Festival. They alone have 40 volunteers
connected with their programming and running of events including many young people
interested in arts/festival curating careers. All funding bid writing is undertaken voluntarily
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.
This Flnandal Year
As at point of submission there is approximately 21K in the combined current and savings
account forthe organisation. All of this is accounted forwith regard to continued expenditure.
Declarations
Although she is not 3 Trustee herself, the Kent Film Foundation board of trustees unanimously
approve continued payment to the founder, Jan Dunn who is listed as one of the Directors, in
her capacity as film consultant/mentor to continue in her capacity as project managing the
youth workshops and as Arting CEO to undertake administration where needed and consider
this a funding priority. The board of trustees also accept that an allowance towards her utillty
bills should be forthcomin8 when funding allows for overheads. The trustees also recognise
that the sheer volume of voluntary work she undertakes for the charity cannot be under-
estimated, much of which she receives no remuneration for and is undertaken around her
own professional work and her caring responsibilities as a single parent. Also, whilst
undertaklng a part time PhD.
The board of trustees also unanimously accept that should the opportunity arise through
various funding attempts, to begin a youth theatre side to the organisation, Marie Kelly-
Thomas can be remunerated if She is called upon for her specific skills and fundin8 allows.
This report also acknowledges the generous time given by the Management Team in a
voluntary capacity, particularly Jo Blair for her film exhibition knowledge and skills and for
Emlyn Gregory making himself available regularly for the management of the cinema and
administration needs.
Meetlngs
It has not been possible to have held a full meeting together since December 2023 but the
Trustees accept that Zoe Carr. Emlyn Gregory and Jan Dunn meet very regularly- sometimes
on a weekly basis to discuss all management issues and regularly including Jo Blair with the
community cinema management. Jan Dunn makes reasonable attempts to keep everyone on
the board of trustees in the loop of the management discussions when needed.

Trustees Responslbllities
The trustees (who are also dirertors of Kent Film Foundation Limited for the purposes of
company law) are responsible for preparingthe Trustees. Report and the financial statements
in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practise).
In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are required to..
Selett 5Ultable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
Observe the methods and principals in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102).
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonably prudent.
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the charitable company will continue to operate.
There are no trustees who are currently approved for remuneration. However, as state
previously the trustees wish to confirm the advanced approval for Marie Kelly Thomas to be
paid for consultancy work should the opportunity to begin in the future with the Ramsgate
Youth Theatre arise.
The trustees wish to acknowledge and pay particular thanks to the Emlyn Gre80ry, for his
excessive amount of voluntary hours in undertaking (literally) the transformation of No64
High Street and management of the cinema.
Current status
We now have occupancy of the empty shop on the high street which is now Ramsgate
Community Clnema. We are there until the autumn at which polnt it is due for demolition.
The landlord has offered for us to remain there on a month-by-month basis.
We are currently writing funding-bids In the hope of raising core costs to enable a move to a
longer term, more permanent premises. At this moment there are at least three vacant
buildings on the High Street that have stood there empty in the long-term, which would be
our first options once we have successfully raised the grant fundin8. The core costs may well
come with some of the current vouth-focussed funding bids we are submittingat the moment
but often overheads are not allowed.
