Summary of main activities

The Board of Trustees are extremely grateful to the whole team who have developed and delivered our model over this period. Following on from the steps made last year a more robust operational model has been developed which responded to the challenges incurred from starting back-up from the pandemic.

A more commercial delivery that reduces the charity's dependency on public funding is proving to produce small and manageable growth. Although we are at the first stages of changing our structure it can be seen in the accounts that this approach is working, and we will continue to move to more independency.

The Art House continues to operate, serving the community with two Wellbeing projects of to support people who are vulnerable and living with mental health and addiction issues. A series of contracts with other like-minded local charities to use our resources and space has also started and an area we wish to grow.

During this year the Art House has:

The Finance Committee continues to meet monthly to assess and discuss issues as well as review our structures and opportunities for growth as well as stability.

The Pottery continues to be our main income pathway and in a measured and proportionate scheme grown slowly to test the ability to attract new markets and be able to service the growing number of customers. Pottery Open Studio members who pay a monthly subscription to our studios has increased, again in a controlled manner as we ensure that we can continue the growth of the department moving into the next financial year. Art courses have grown significantly whilst our exposure to employing staff in this area has been reduced. Art is delivered on a model using external tutors. We have been more discriminating about which courses should run with profitability in mind.

The Art Courses have been increased throughout the year and we have concentrated on only providing classes for the most popular ones rather than trying to gain new audiences. This has shown an increase in numbers and as we look for growth in this area, we will focus on linked progression courses to obtain retention of customers. Our first Summer School provided us with income in August which is traditionally a quieter period.

We collaborated with the local arts organisation ‘Open Up’ which we will continue to build an association with, as it brought a ground base that have never engaged with us before.

The board met bimonthly during this period. Its sub-committees with a focus on Finance and HR have met regularly in-between board meetings.

Achievements and Performance

St Matthew’s House Limited

Trustees’ annual report - continued For the 16 month period ended 31 December 2023

Financial Review and Reserves Policy

The statement of financial activities is set in the financial statements. Income for the period amounted to £340,263 (2022: £195,183). Total expenditure amounted to £334,581 (2022: £262,020). Net movement in funds for the period was an income of £5,682 (2022: deficit of £66,837) resulting in net assets at the period-end of £969,251 (2022: £963,569)

The Trustees have considered the level of unrestricted funds, which they see as appropriate to hold in reserve and have concluded that this should be the equivalent of a minimum of three month’s salary expenditure. The Trustees aim to have £21,000 to hand but have a longer-term goal of reaching £50,000 in reserve. The Trustees will keep the level of reserves under review and keep them inline with the wage bill.

As at 31 December 2023 free reserves (comprising net current assets less loans relating to property) were negative £42,941 (2022:negative £38,450).

The Trustees addressed the concerns of the financial position in our previous year and by working closely with our Strategic Director, after a very successful handover from our consultant, and the Finance Manager, the business plan we have developed has provided a much more manageable operation delivery with new income pathways which are measurable.

This has taken us away from being completely reliant on public funding and allowed us to start to put in the foundations of being a charity that can services its financial obligations independently, whilst focusing grant funding applications primarily on its charitable and community led projects.

We have continued to balance ‘payroll’ against ‘development’ and consider all elements of staffing the charity and its delivery of workshops and courses against the appropriated staffing route; external or payroll reimbursement. This has enabled us to manage our staffing liabilities and grow the services we provide by continuing to review profitability of courses and improving understanding of what our customers and clients want.

Engagement with our Marketing and Advertising has continued to grow, this is due to our offer expanding our customer and client target market as well as continuing to grow our relationship with ‘Open Up’.

Our Finance Manager continues to review our expenditure to make savings with all our service and product providers. This is now part of the operational routine and reviewed with the Strategic Director

We recognise and are concerned by the negative Net Current Assets, however this includes £10,899 Parochial Church Council Creditor. St Matthew’s Parochial Church Council is the Sole Member of the Charity and they do not intend to recall that debt except at such a time as the charity can afford to do so.

St Matthew’s House Limited

Trustees’ annual report - continued For the 16 month period ended 31 December 2023

Financial Review and Reserves Policy – continued

The Time to Pay agreement with HM Revenue and Customs which addressed the level of VAT owed with a payment scheme implemented and due to end August 2023 was fully repaid.

The historical ‘Capital Goods Repayment Scheme’ will be paid off in full by 31.12.25 and will significantly reduce our annual debt repayment, this will save us an outgoing of approximately £8,200

We have continued to service all debts to our creditors promptly and on time with no holiday payment agreements, and our debt burden is reducing each year.

We continue to set our budgets cautiously and review them monthly within the management team and on set agendas in our committees.

Future Plans

The Charity is in a stronger position both financially as well as operationally, with a much clearer vision and business model. We have continued to grow the number of participants using our facilities and we have developed exciting new initiatives such as the Anderson-Green project for those on a recovery journey from addiction. For the first time in several years, we have been able to invest in our plant and that has in turn increased usage.

Although we are in a stronger position, we recognise the challenges on a day-to-day basis as well as those ahead of us. But we have a clear, consistent and coherent plan to continue to increase revenue. The historic loans on the buildings here have continued to be paid down and have reduced significantly in this period, and the more commercial income streams increased giving us a more stable base.

We are very ably led by our Strategic Director, and by a committed and knowledgeable board, which we will seek to expand over the next 12 months. We have in recent months further worked on the participation of members of the Open Studio (those paying an annual subscription) and will soon be offering a gold standard membership of £250 a month – there are already several interested parties. We have reviewed our insurance providers and have found more competitive and comparable quotes. We are playing our full part in the regeneration of the area and the emerging arts quarter around us. Footfall into our gallery has increased by 30%. Our main goal for the year is to continue towards profitability. We believe that this is achievable and that the growth in the business is demonstrating that this is within reach. Our operational profitability is growing under the new model the Trustees approved which gives a clear plan to better serve our stakeholders, achieve our objectives and serve the common good whilst creating new income streams and delivering the charity's aims and objectives.

We have now increased our Strategic Lead’s hours from three days to five days – the rationale behind this is about giving him more time for working on growth focussed factors in the business and overseeing smaller grant applications focused on delivering projects rather than covering operation costs as in the past; this is in-line with the new business plan.

The term “Board” is defined as the meetings of the trustees. The Board’s main duty is to manage the Charity, ensuring good governance and practice.

Once appointed, Trustees must make themselves aware of the terms of the Memorandum of St Matthew’s House, familiarise themselves with the charity’s property, policies, human resources, client needs and finances. They will ensure that the staff are well looked after, that investment of the charity J E McQuater funds complies with the terms of the Memorandum, and that the strategy and objectives of St Matthew’s house are developed.

The Board will act exclusively in the best interest of the charity. Therefore, a Trustee must not allow a situation to arise where their duty as a Trustee conflicts with their own personal interest. They are required to manage the charity and to ensure that the objectives of the chair are met. The Board will spent time inducting new Trustees by informing them about:

The Board will ensure that new Trustees will know enough to be able to carry out their role, but not be overloaded or mislead them about the level of work involved.

All Trustees give their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year.
