Directors Report For the year end 30th March 2022
Overview of the Year
Emerging out of the pandemic 2021/22 saw a consistent refocus on PORe’s Arts Council England Elevate project K.I.S.S. The project and funding programme aims to strengthen the resilience of diverse arts organisations, museums, and libraries not in receipt of National Portfolio funding. K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid ) PORe’s 2 year Elevate project will strengthen the resilience of PORe by development of a new 5- year strategic business plan, recruitment of arts consultancy and securing paid staff (director Mark Prest) including two new staff members. K.I.S.S. will increase the organisations capacity, diversify fundraising, supports business development and board development, and puts in place new digital resources. It also builds upon PORe’s strategic partnerships. Critically the work contributes to PORe’s 1[st] time application to ACE’s National Portfolio Funding Programme for May 2022
PORe is now in a stronger position to manage projects more successfully than at any prior point in the organisation’s life. The first phase of Elevate has enabled PORe to benefit from increased resources. This includes a Business Development Administrator (BDA) who has worked to establish key business management tools and systems and a Digital Marketing Coordinator post, who’s role is to streamline PORe’s activities online and build audiences. Whilst some Elevate stage outputs have been delayed due to (Covid pandemic) we are confident this will not be repeated.
PORe’s emerging business plan and developing artistic policy define a clear way forward that provides a route map for the organisation, its staff, and trustees. This also supports the organisation to establish systems and transpose best practice from other areas.
PORe made a successful application to Arts Council England, Elevate Extension fund. This is to progress and complete originally funded Elevate (K.I.S.S.) activity due to diversion of funds and/or adjusted activity linked to the Covid-19 crisis. K.I.S.S originally intended to complete in December 2021 will now complete end March 2023 with additional funding.
Sounds at the Edges - connecting 10 people in recovery from substance use with cultural venues, creative professionals, and artists from Greater Manchester completed. The project supported social re-integration, increased employability and increased wellbeing through high quality hands-on learning and engagement with contemporary art. An end of project event was held at HOME, Manchester. Premiering a film commissioned from artist Green, the event was attended by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and who addressed the events audience in support of PORe’s work.
Additional funding was secured from the 4th and final round of the ESF Community Grants Fund. The Repair Centre, a new partnership with the Manchester Craft and Design Centre (MCDC) will further supported PORe’s work preparedness employability work through exploring the Japanese art of Kintsugi (ceramic repair). The project will complete in May 2022.

Directors Report For the year end 30th March 2022
Financial review
Reserves – at the close of 2021-22 financial year, the directors recognise that the financial position of the charity was weak with an unrestricted reserves surplus of £93. An improvement on the last with this year seeing the company break above just even. As outlined the impact of COVID-19 adversely affected delivery of PORe’s projects and fundraising activities. However, the funding secured during the previous financial year enabled projects to move forwards with ring-fenced reserves of £33,490 carried forwards.
Ideally the directors would like to see annual reserves of around 4months trading costs, which is unlikely until PORe secures annual revenue funding. This is currently being researched through PORe’s K.I.S.S. project. This financial risk is currently minimised as PORe has no direct employees but recruits on a freelance basis as and when needed. The main overhead is office rent.
Sources of Income
The search for a source of revenue funding is a priority over the next two financial years. This aims to enable growth & sustainability for the company. As stipulated the company successfully secured 100k funding through their application to Arts Council England's Elevate fund and an additional 49k through Elevate Extension. This over two years provides organisational development funding and short-term financial security.
Plans for future periods.
As of May 2022, PORe made an application for National Portfolio status to Arts Council England. If successful and for the very first time, this will provide the organisation with long term financial security through 3 years revenue funding.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 March 2022
1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 section 1A.
Portraits of Recovery meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
In preparing the accounts, the Management Committee have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. No such restatement was required.
c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. They do recognise that the charity had negative unrestricted funds as at 30 March 2019, however there are plans to increase income streams and the reserves of the charity. The project director is able to work for free and agree with creditors that payment terms can be flexible so trustees consider that the charity is solvent.
There are no key judgments which the trustees have made which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

d Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
e Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
f Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

g Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
h Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
i Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
j Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
k Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

N Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Directors Report For the year end 30th March 2022
Overview of the Year
Emerging out of the pandemic 2021/22 saw a consistent refocus on PORe’s Arts Council England Elevate project K.I.S.S. The project and funding programme aims to strengthen the resilience of diverse arts organisations, museums, and libraries not in receipt of National Portfolio funding. K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid ) PORe’s 2 year Elevate project will strengthen the resilience of PORe by development of a new 5- year strategic business plan, recruitment of arts consultancy and securing paid staff (director Mark Prest) including two new staff members. K.I.S.S. will increase the organisations capacity, diversify fundraising, supports business development and board development, and puts in place new digital resources. It also builds upon PORe’s strategic partnerships. Critically the work contributes to PORe’s 1[st] time application to ACE’s National Portfolio Funding Programme for May 2022
PORe is now in a stronger position to manage projects more successfully than at any prior point in the organisation’s life. The first phase of Elevate has enabled PORe to benefit from increased resources. This includes a Business Development Administrator (BDA) who has worked to establish key business management tools and systems and a Digital Marketing Coordinator post, who’s role is to streamline PORe’s activities online and build audiences. Whilst some Elevate stage outputs have been delayed due to (Covid pandemic) we are confident this will not be repeated.
PORe’s emerging business plan and developing artistic policy define a clear way forward that provides a route map for the organisation, its staff, and trustees. This also supports the organisation to establish systems and transpose best practice from other areas.
PORe made a successful application to Arts Council England, Elevate Extension fund. This is to progress and complete originally funded Elevate (K.I.S.S.) activity due to diversion of funds and/or adjusted activity linked to the Covid-19 crisis. K.I.S.S originally intended to complete in December 2021 will now complete end March 2023 with additional funding.
Sounds at the Edges - connecting 10 people in recovery from substance use with cultural venues, creative professionals, and artists from Greater Manchester completed. The project supported social re-integration, increased employability and increased wellbeing through high quality hands-on learning and engagement with contemporary art. An end of project event was held at HOME, Manchester. Premiering a film commissioned from artist Green, the event was attended by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and who addressed the events audience in support of PORe’s work.
Additional funding was secured from the 4th and final round of the ESF Community Grants Fund. The Repair Centre, a new partnership with the Manchester Craft and Design Centre (MCDC) will further supported PORe’s work preparedness employability work through exploring the Japanese art of Kintsugi (ceramic repair). The project will complete in May 2022.

Directors Report For the year end 30th March 2022
Financial review
Reserves – at the close of 2021-22 financial year, the directors recognise that the financial position of the charity was weak with an unrestricted reserves surplus of £93. An improvement on the last with this year seeing the company break above just even. As outlined the impact of COVID-19 adversely affected delivery of PORe’s projects and fundraising activities. However, the funding secured during the previous financial year enabled projects to move forwards with ring-fenced reserves of £33,490 carried forwards.
Ideally the directors would like to see annual reserves of around 4months trading costs, which is unlikely until PORe secures annual revenue funding. This is currently being researched through PORe’s K.I.S.S. project. This financial risk is currently minimised as PORe has no direct employees but recruits on a freelance basis as and when needed. The main overhead is office rent.
Sources of Income
The search for a source of revenue funding is a priority over the next two financial years. This aims to enable growth & sustainability for the company. As stipulated the company successfully secured 100k funding through their application to Arts Council England's Elevate fund and an additional 49k through Elevate Extension. This over two years provides organisational development funding and short-term financial security.
Plans for future periods.
As of May 2022, PORe made an application for National Portfolio status to Arts Council England. If successful and for the very first time, this will provide the organisation with long term financial security through 3 years revenue funding.
