Under the Deed the power to appoint Trustees, of which there shall be at least four, is vested in the exis8ng Trustees. The Trustees met 4 8mes during the year in pursuance of our objec8ves. ## Objec8ves and Ac8vi8es The objec8ves of the charity are: the promo8on of the voluntary sector for the public benefit by the produc8on of films which promote volunteering and the voluntary sector. Big Picture is a UK based Registered Charity who exist to help other chari8es and voluntary organisa8ons tell their stories and raise awareness of their causes. As part of our DNA, Big Picture believes that chari8es should be able to hold on to the vast majority of their funds and be able to use them in their projects. ## Financial Review The financial statements are included in this Report for the year and the financial situa8on at 31st May 2023. The Trustees are encouraged by the strong financial founda8on and look forward to making more high quality films that promote volunteering and the voluntary sector in the future. ## Trustees responsibili8es Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: - Select suitable accoun8ng policies and the apply them consistently - Observe the methods and principles of the Chari8es SORP - Make judgements and es8mates that are reasonable and prudent and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will con8nue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accoun8ng records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any 8me the financial posi8on of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Chari8es Act 1993. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the preven8on and detec8on of fraud or other irregulari8es. The Trustees have had regard to the public benefit general guidance issued by the Charity Commission. They believe that the descrip8on of the Charity’s ac8vi8es in this annual report evidences that those ac8vi8es carry out the Charity’s aims for the public benefit. On behalf of the Trustees, Steve Higgins (Chairperson) 3 **Chairperson’s Report** For the Year Ended 31st May 2023 With chari8es returning to normal aier the Covid pandemic we con8nue to work with the charity sector to produce top quality films. We wouldn’t have been able to make films for other chari8es without our own fundraising projects: the Quiz Night in June 2022 and April 2023, the London 10Km run in July, the tea at the Palace walk in September and the Ride London 100 mile cycle ride in May - thank you so much to all those people who took part in these events and all those that supported them. The Trustees would also like to thank those individuals who support BPCF with regular and one-off dona8ons. Without your support we wouldn’t have been able to finance the films we have made. You really are helping make a difference, one film at a 8me! The Trustees con8nue to give 10% of our annual income to other chari8es. 4 Independent Examiner's Report ended 31st May 2023.
