Trustees’ Annual Report

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2015).

Structure, Governance and Management

The Screen Film Community is a company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. It was incorporated on 18 June 2012 and registered as a charity on 21 May 2015. It is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 18 June 2012 as amended by certificate of incorporation on change of name dated 25 March 2014 as amended by special resolution registered at Companies House on 12 March 2015. It was registered as a charity 21 May 2015. As a charity, in the opinion of the Trustees, it complies with the provisions of Section 60 of the Companies Act 2006, which exempts it from the requirement to end its name with “limited”. Throughout this report it will be referred to as “the charity”.

Responsibility for the governance of the charity resides with the trustees. Day to day operations are managed by the General Manager. Trustees who served during the year under review and to date are listed on page 1.

The board believe that the best interests of the charity will be served by having an appropriate number of trustees who collectively have a range of skills and experience suitable to the running of the charity. In addition to general advertising the current trustees will use their personal knowledge and contacts to seek appropriate candidates for appointment as trustee. Newly appointed trustees will be provided with the necessary information and documents to enable them to understand the charity and their role as a trustee.

Aims and Objectives

The purpose of the charity is to advance in life and help young people, particularly in socially and economically deprived neighbourhoods in London through:

The objectives of The Screen Community are:

The charity pursues its objects by providing workshops in Film & TV Production and in Video Games Design & Coding and other related activities.

Achievements and Performance

This has been an extremely busy year for us where we had to catch up on some funded projects that had been held up due to lockdown. From December 2021 – Summer 2022 – we ran six film workshops and 4 games design workshops. Enabling us to engage with 200 young people.

In addition, we ran a programme for those who were not in education or employment (NEET) which resulted in a very well executed film project that later went viral on Tik Tok, and in addition six beneficiaries gained employment in the screen industries and six went on to study film & television at university. This has reinforced our links to both further education and employment.

June 2021 – GLA Young Londoners Film Project – yr 2

We ran our 2[nd] year of Young Londoners funding in from June to December 2021. This was a combined programme of a Film & TV Production Workshop and also a Games Design Project. The Film & TV production workshop attendees were a mixture of local young people who were diverse and at risk but also a group attended from the local hospital school and they had spent time out of traditional education due to health issues. The young person who created the story based it on their own personal life story. The film was called “Love is a Demon” and featured tense relationships, blood and special fx.

The Young Londoners Games Design workshop was run after the film workshop just to ensure that so soon after opening up after lockdown that we were working safely and that we were able to give the young people due attention. This games design workshop was a great success with a lot of local young people engaging from members of the traveller community right through to young people who just love making games.

High Streets for All – Summer 2021

We noticed that the Mayor’s Office were running a scheme called High Streets for All, and decided we wanted to get involved. We had noticed that in our neighbourhood many pubs, youth clubs and community spaces had been closing in recent years. We felt this was detrimental to a healthy local society and was affecting both the crime levels amongst young people but also affecting the older generations and so we put in a bid to create a community space that would

The Screen Film Community Annual Report and Accounts y/e 30 June 2022

engage with all of the local community but with a focus on running extensive Film & TV Production Workshops and Games Design & Coding workshops for the whole community. The Mayor’s Office liked our idea and awarded us funding to create a strong business plan. This is an important part of our future plans.

– EDP Meetings Summer 2021 to present day

We were accepted as part of the EDP – Enterprise Development Programme .which sprang into action from the summer of 2021. This involved a series of in depth workshops on topics to do with expanding a charity’s income streams. It provided us with the opportunity to network with similar organisations, learn from experts. We are just at the very early stages of this initiative, but it has opened up new options for the organisation.

August 2021 – Kickstarter Scheme

We were lucky to be offered the opportunity of employing a young person as part of the Government’s Kickstarter Scheme. This was the charity’s first full employee and has proven to be a great success in that the young person we employed has stayed with the charity and been a key player on the workshops run in 2022 and also in terms of business development.

– In Depth Editing Workshop Funded by Westminster Trust

We had applied for funding for an in depth editing course for local residents and we were excited to run this course out of the editing classrooms at Westminster College at Paddington Green. We were able to secure the young talented editor, Fiorella, who worked on Netflix productions. She taught the course on industry standard editing software Avid, which is known to be quite complicated but our cohort of young trainees managed the software extremely well.

Three Back to Back Film Workshops

We ran three consecutive film workshops from January through to the summer. They were funded by The London Community Foundation, Kensington & Chelsea Foundation, Children in Need and EQUIP. All workshops were a massive success and we produced three films called “Frozen Chicken”, “Coming to Lunch” and “Instavasion”.

– EQUIP Neets Coming to Lunch

We were funded by European funding to engage with 20 young people who were not in education or employment. This was delayed due to lockdown and although we could have run it online we were determined to run it in person as the outcomes and impact are much better. Indeed, our cohort of NEET young people turned out to be one of our best projects with 7 going on to employment in the screen industry and a further 6 went on to university. Many had felt lost due to the impact of lockdown and didn’t have a clue what career path to follow. After attending our workshop their life opened up, they became more sure of what they wanted and have gone on to follow their dreams.

Future Plans

After June 2022 we have gone on to run another Young Londoners project which is our last year of this funding. Additionally, we have been further developing our business plan for the Harrow Road project which we aim to implement in 2023. We have also expanded into schools and would like to expand on that further into 2023. We are also expanding on running programmes for those who are NEET.

Financial Review

With the easing of the Covid restrictions during the year under review it was possible to increase activities substantially. Expenditure therefore rose to £139,353 in total, more than double the amount in the previous year (£67,254). Whilst

4

The Screen Film Community Annual Report and Accounts y/e 30 June 2022

most of that spending was on delivering the charity’s activities, a lot of work was done in planning future development with the help of grant funding. The first paid employee was taken on in August 2021, who remains with the charity still, while two others were taken on for short periods. The cost of those employees was to a large extent covered by donations from the City of Westminster Kickstart programme.

Income for the year, at £122,187, was lower than the previous year (£130,680) but is significantly higher than the preceding years and reflects the success of efforts to obtain grants for continuing activities. The trustees are grateful for this generous support from various funders.

This was a catch-up year so much of the spending during the year was funded by grants received in the previous year. As a result, despite the new grants received during the year, restricted funds at year end declined by £13,225 (previous year increase £55,440) to £62,490 (previous year £75,715). However, with a total deficit of £17,166 in the year (previous year surplus £63,156) this means that unrestricted funds reduced to £1,624 at year end (previous year £5,565). The trustees recognise that this is an uncomfortably low level of free reserves and are looking at ways to increase it.

Reserves Policy

The trustees are mindful of the need to ensure the sustainability of the charity and the continuance of its work.

At present, the current level of funds and projected future funding are sufficient to continue activities in the short term. However, the trustees recognise the need for increased general reserves and will seek appropriate funding as necessary.

Public Benefit

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102 and the trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Act to have due regard to guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.

Independent Examiners' Report to the Trustees of The Screen Film Community

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 set out on pages two to four.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiners' Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

The Screen Film Community Annual Report and Accounts y/e 30 June 2022

Notes to the accounts

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) 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 Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 2019)". Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historic cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

b) Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income is deferred as necessary when the donor specifies that the income must only be used in future accounting periods or when any performance conditions have not been fully met.

d) 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. Expenditure is classified under the following headings:

The charity is not registered for VAT, which is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity for which it was incurred. The cost of overall direction and administration, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, together with governance costs, is apportioned to each charitable activity on the basis of direct costs attributable to that activity.

e) Items of equipment and other tangible assets will be capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1000. Those items will be depreciated on a straight line basis over three years.

f) The Trustees are of the opinion that the charity is exempt from Corporation Tax on its charitable activities.

g) The charity has no employee and therefore does not currently run a pension scheme.
