Brought up to date at HMRC submission, completed at submission date December 2025 Trustees: Emlyn Gregory- Chair Zoe Carr Jo Blair Nathan Shepherd Alan Jones Rachel Dobson Currently in the process of appointing two new directors: Joanne Poole Janis Pugh Company Registration Number 07274484 Charity Registration Number 1138581 Registered Office: 22 Grange Road, Ramsgate CTII 9LR Place of operation: Ramsgate Community Cinema, Paragon Works, Albert Street, Ramsgate CTII 9HD Governing Documentationls) Kent Film Foundation is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee incorporated at Companies House on 4th June 2010 and registered as a charity 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 team made up of the Trustees. All Members, trusteeship is reviewed each year, where they are eligible for re-election 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 directors, as approved unanimously by all Trustees. Reserves Policy. The charity aims to build a network of "free reseNes" for time5 of insufficient funding after successful bids. However, this remains challenging because many funding applications do not cover overhead costs, or if they do, only a small portion can be allocated. The charity has managed to sustain by employing no salaried staff, instead hiring current practising lin some cases award-winning) freelance film/arts practitioners with high skills. This approach keeps spending down to the necessary level and supports local talent, particularly working women with caring responsibilities. At year-end, reserves totalled £29,679. all from grant-funded income allocated specifically to youth film clubs or screening events. We are continuing to work towards establishing a reserves fund, separate from the community bank account with HSBC. Our Charity Bank savings account currently holds £3000 out of the £11,000 donated by members of the public in 2022 for our Community Asset bid for the closed Granville Cinema. Despite having no competitors, the bid was rejected by Thanet District Council, with no reason provided. The council subsequently sold the town asset to a commercial company. Kent Film Foundation offered to return every individual donation, but only one person asked for a refund of their £10. Therefore, most of what was left has gone towards general overheads. This remaining £3,000 is what we hope to rebuild into a proper reserve fund. Current Funders To run and support all our programmes, including the new community cinema venture, our funders over this financial year have included Colyer Fergusson Charity, Tweed Foundation, Kent Community Foundation, and the BFI through Film Hub South East. Our first year operating the community cinema on a pay-what-you-can basis, with just two screenings per week, has been well supported and has raised a further £4712 from the public. This is a positive sign of revenue growth once a new, permanent premises is secured. (see later heading), especially as we are turning awayopportunitiesto host events due to not being able to forecast/book too far ahead. We have 105t revenue in the region of £6-IOK due to this situation. Not only do those organisations go elsewhere, notably to Margate but often they end up cancelling projects due to no affordable, appropriate venues in Ramsgate. The charity is very grateful for all funded sUPPOrt, especially Since most of our funders continue to fund us because they genuinely believe in the significant impact our work has on the community, with a particular focus on young people, whether or not they are pursuing media careers. We have had no major one-off donations this year. Activities and Objectlves The aims and objectives of the organisation remain the same. As listed at the Charity Commission, these are: (I) To 3dv3nce the education and training of disenfranchised teenagers who are not in employment education or training. (2) To help young people, especially but not exclusively through leisure time activities, so as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to fu// maturity as individuals and men7bers of society. (3) Enhance the life of the e/der/y by use of film. (4) Arts Facilitating (5) Environmental awareness and responsibility for young people Our mission drives us to serve our entire community in meaningful ways. As a charity, we Secure funding to ensure all arts events are accessible and to keep our weekly youth film workshops free, fostering opportunity for all. We make a difference to youth because of our unique position in opening doors to the industry. Our vital rnission is to ignite the ambitions of young people, even those with just a passing interest in film, media, or the arts, and to nurture their aspirations from the very start. Multiple research reports affirm that the working class and individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds remain severely underrepresented in the film and TV industries, facing systemic barriers that block their opportunities for entry and advancement. Thi5 persistent inequality in the UK has reached its highest point in over a decade, according to reports from 2025. A recent example of abundant research 15 the 2024 Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre report, which reveals that only 8% of creatives in TV and film in the UK come from a working-class background, compared to over 60% from middle- and upper-class backgrounds. Occupations like directors, producers, and writers are among the most elite in the creative industries, with 61/0 from privileged backgrounds. Opportunities for women continue to grow at a painfully slow pace. We pride ourselves on building a team with lived experience of the barriers we aim to break down, and on our long history of launching careers in role5 such as Sparks, Gaffers, ADS, Writers, Arti5t5, Visual Effects/Gaming designers. Producers, and Director5. Our diverse Management Team, as well a5 our hired professional arts mentors all have lived experience of the community we serve. The Artistic Director grew up in poverty and has experienced being homeless. We also have LGBT members of the team, and those with disabilities. Thls Flnancial Year At the point of submission, there is approximately 14K in the organisation's combined current and savings accounts. All of this is accounted for in terms of continued expenditure. It is low. but this is a pattern until we finally secure multi-year funding or a significant grant. It will all be helped by having our own premises. The community cinema brought in nearly SK for its first year of operating for just two screenings per week and was currently playing at 42°A capacity at the High Street venue and then from September this year, nearer 510A. which is a huge success compared to national averages of 15_200h for weekday screenings. Declarations Although she is not a 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 paid role in project managing the youth workshops. However, she recognises her role in overseeing the direction of the charity in its ambitions to grow, and the Trustees have unanimously approved her discretion in using the title Artistic Director wherever this may be useful for the organisation. Accepting that, for the moment at least, she receives no remuneration for such a role. Jan would like it stated that she prefers this title to the CEO title, as this suggests an area outside of her creative skill set, where she sits comfortably. She would like it Stated that she feels this is more appropriate whilst there are no salaried staff at the organisation, and that her interest is more in the artistic direction than in following a corporate title. Remuneration(s)- The Board of Trustees accepts that an allowance towards her utility bills should be forthcoming to the aforementioned Artistic Director when funding allows for overheads. The Trustees also recognise that the sheer volume of voluntary work JD undertakes for the charity cannot be under-estimated, for which she receive5 no remuneration. Thi5 is currently estimated at approximately 10-15 hours per week combined for the youth projects and the cinema management outside of the specific weekly workshop 5e55ions she is funded to project manage. She receive5 a small stipend for time undertaken for the professional level of film programming, which audience members and the cinema funders, Film Hub South East, have consistently praised. The Management Team would also like to State that the charity's Chair. Emlyn Gregory has been devoting an enormous amount of his spare time once again this year to support Jan in the upkeep of our previous cinema at No. 64 High Street, and in the transformation and upkeep of the new premises at Paragon Works. Filmmakerjoanne Postlewaite who has a film production company based in Ramsgate, Shiftkey, is hired by the charity as Lead Film Mentor for the youth film clubs for 15 hours per month. Jo, too, regularly donates several hours extra when young people's projects dictate a day's location filming. The Board of Trustees is about to be joined by BAFTA-winning film director and Screenwriter, Janis Pugh. This suggestion arose from a long friendship between JD and Ms Pugh following a packed house at the screening and Q&A for Janis's film, Chuck, Chuck, Baby, at the cinema. Another acquaintance of JDS is Joanne Poole, a Film Studies teacher from the local Sir Roger Manwood Grammar School in Sandwich, who has also agreed to join the Trustees. At the point of submission, we are about to register their names at the Charity Commission. Meetings Once again this year, with constant meetings on at least a weekly basis between the Chairman of Trustees, Emlyn Gregory, and Jan Dunn, sometimes joined by other board members, particularly Rachel Dobson and/or Zoe Carr and with Jan reporting back, we have agreed that there is no need for a meeting of everyone involved. Jan has also undertaken a number of one-to-one emails with Jo Blair around the cinema management, given Jo's expertise in this area of business. However, we aim to schedule a general meeting to include the new Trustees within the first two months of 2026. Continued search for permanent premises. We continue the foundation's 12-year search for a permanent venue to transform into a community arts centre. Most recently, after a series of rejected applications via Community Asset Transfers, in some cases controversially rejected despite enormous support from residents. We received notice to vacate No. 64 High Street by 1st August 2025. During our tirne at thi5 venue, which we turned into a community cinema with the help of over 70 volunteer residents, we also made two separate attempts to purchase: No. 92 Queen Street and the old Argos building at No. 58 High Street. After several months pursuing the purchase of these buildings one after the other, we concluded that the freeholders had vastly inflated the value of the properties, in one case by 60QA above its estimated worth. We also surmised that neither freeholder was genuinely interested in selling but perhaps only wanted to list the buildings at a high price to attract investment for other buildings, or for inclusion in a portfolio. We have tentatively identified a property and have begun the process to acquire another building, with the aim of biddingfor a portion of the capital funding that will become available to Ramsgate from the central government's Pride in Place funding. We believe the 6425 residents signing a petition to TDC to turn around their refusal to give KFF the Granville Cinema in 2022 shall stand us in good stead because thistimethe fund is allegedly to be spent entirely around what the residents want, and there is a "neighbourhood board" in situ to make sure this happens. Trustees Responsibilities The trustee5 (who are also directors of Kent Film Foundation Limited for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for preparing the 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: Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. Observe the methods and principals in the Charities SORP 2015 IFRS 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 Stated previously Jan Dunn is listed as director though not a Trustee and is only remunerated when hired for her professional work via invoices and where funds allow is also given a contribution towards her energy bills towards voluntary hours undertaken, particularly in bid-writing. The trustees wish to acknowledge and pay particular thanks to the Chair Emlyn Gregory, for his continued and excessive amount of voluntary hours. Current status The organisation has now moved into its new long-term temporary premises as Ramsgate Community Cinema, Paragon Works, Albert Street, Ramsgate CTII 9HD We continue in our attempt to acquire a building in Ramsgate to call our own, where we can grow streams of revenue and become less grant-reliant. With Ramsgate being a recipient of the government's Neighbourhood Plan funding of £20M over ten years. We aim to use the massive, genuine resident support we have in our pursuit of a permanent Arts Centretotryto acces5 a large chunk of the funding.
