TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".
Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
The charity aims to inspire a generation of young people by offering them a gateway to the Arts by funding after and out of school classes in primary and secondary state schools in England. The foundation provides children with the inspiration and tolls to develop lifelong artistic passions.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Public benefit
The policies adopted to further the objectives of the Charity for public benefit in accordance with section 4 of the 2006 act to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties are disclosed in section headed objectives and aims in this report.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Financial review
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Plans for future periods
HvH Arts currently supports 1024 unique children/young people per year through our Arts programmes and it is our aim to grow this to 2,500 children/young people per year.
To achieve this, we need to secure more grants, funding and private donations.
Having access to a larger space to deliver our Arts programmes is a key driver to reaching our target of 2,500 children/young people per year, thus our long-term strategy is to secure our own building to deliver our Arts programmes from.
Structure, governance and management
The charity charity is controlled by the governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HVH ARTS LTD
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of HvH Arts Ltd (the charity) for the year ended 30 April 2025.

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
