The Foundry Sheffield Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 30 June 2023

The trustees of the charity submit their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and the relevant version of the 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

The charity’s legal objectives are:

(The voluntary sector means charities and voluntary organisations. Charities are organisations, which are established for exclusively charitable purposes in accordance with the law of England and Wales. Voluntary organisations are independent organisations, which are established for purposes that add value to the community as a whole, or a significant section of the community, and which are not permitted by their constitution to make a profit for private distribution. Voluntary organisations do not include local government or other statutory authorities’ provided that none of the objects nor any activity within the objects shall be undertaken otherwise than in accordance with or in furtherance of the purposes of the methodist church contained in section 4 of the methodist church act 1976 and/or the doctrinal standards of the methodist church.)

The Foundry Sheffield was formed in 2015 and runs and operates from Victoria Hall Methodist Church. Victoria Hall has been serving Sheffield for over 250 years. Typical of a Methodist Central Hall, Victoria Hall was designed as a concert venue, with numerous rooms for social work, as well as centre of mission from as far back as 1907. Today - as well as being home to a number of key charities through the rental of offices, rooms and facilities, Victoria Hall offers a number of rooms and halls to suit groups of a handful to up to 100 delegates to support events in the Main Hall or to hire as separate meeting rooms. The Foundry is also landlord to 4 shop units along Chapel Walk which provide continued income to enable the rooms to be let at a lower cost to the Voluntary sector.

The main hall has always been a popular venue for choral, instrumental and other events and South Yorkshire's finest amateur orchestra, The Sheffield Philharmonic, holds its weekly rehearsals and the majority of its concert season performances there. Around the building, each week there are 3 choirs, an improv comedy club, a conversation club and some of the smaller rooms are used multiple times per week by Solace providing counselling support to refugees and asylum seekers.

The Foundry Sheffield Trustees’ annual report - continued For the year ended 30 June 2023

A growing programme of concerts and events is now restoring the Victoria Hall’s reputation as one of the city’s most vital and diverse performance spaces.

And, of course, Methodist services are still held in the Victoria Hall twice every Sunday, with various other activities throughout the week, and it continues to be the home of the Sheffield Methodist District office.

A number of charities work out of The Foundry’s range of offices rented on an annual licence.

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including guidance on fee charging.

Summary of main achievements during the year

After months of fundraising, and permissions sought, August saw the removal of the fixed cinemastyle seating in the Main Hall. This has opened up the variety of activities held in the Main Hall and the number of conferences held has increased compared to the previous year. The removal of the seats in the Main Hall has made a big difference in the variety of events that we can hold. The Main Hall has increased bookings, with us being open almost every Saturday throughout 2023. Throughout the year, there were 46 multi-agency drop in sessions for asylum seekers and refugees seeking support, 40 concerts, 100 church services, 2 graduations, 10 conferences, 2 vintage clothes sales and an art exhibition.

We are still home to a number of key charities who are tenants within the building, listed below:

Age Active Sheffield District of the Methodist Church Assist Urban Theology Union City of Sanctuary Victoria Hall Methodist church Samaritans

Independent Training Services hire the Waddington Suite to provide security courses to enable individuals seeking work to gain a qualification. Food Squad became a new customer in April to cook a community meal each Friday in our Lower Hall kitchen.

The Sheffield Central Deaf Club moved their activities into the Main Hall from up on the third floor to be more seen from the street in an attempt to increase usage as numbers had dwindled since coming back from COVID. In the Autumn, they made the decision to cease meeting at Victoria Hall and end their licence with us.

Throughout the building, we hosted 13 smaller conferences and 10 conferences which used the majority of the rooms. Down in the Lower Hall approximately 120 meals are prepared weekly by Sunday Centre serving some of those most in need in the city. This only ceases over the Christmas period where Homeless and Rootless at Christmas take over providing a warm safe space, entertainment and food in our Lower Hall throughout the season.

The Foundry Sheffield

Trustees’ annual report - continued For the year ended 30 June 2023

During this year, we have invested into the maintenance of the building, focusing on controlling issues and pre-empting repairs rather than relying on a reactive fixing programme. The building ran smoothly and there have been no major building repairs needed. We were delighted to be awarded a grant by The National Lottery in January towards essential roof repairs.

At the beginning of June 2023, we suffered a devastating flood due to a broken stop cock on Yorkshire Waters pipes. This has totally broken the heating exchange, resulting in no heating currently in the building. Water was approximately 2m in depth in the basement before we were alerted to the issue.

Financial review

General room hire, office hire and Main Hall events income has all increased compared to the previous year, this is due to a combination of price increases and increased room usage. The previous year we were still recovering from the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Foundry Sheffield are now back to pre-covid income levels.

Income received during the year included:

Reserves policy

The aim of the Trustees is to hold free reserves to provide sufficient funds that, in the event of a significant drop in income, they will be able to continue the charities activities while consideration is given to way in which additional funds may be raised. This target is £80,000.

Free reserves as at 30 June 2023 were £108,158 (2022: £122,107).

Investment policy

The Trustees have liquid funds held in Unity Trust Bank and a Deposit Account with the Central Finance Board. Amounts in each bank are under the £85k guaranteed limit.

Future plans

The biggest focus of the upcoming year will be to reinstate the heating system in time for the colder winter months. As of January 2024, the heating exchange has not been fixed, however a temporary heating system has been implemented with a mix of infrared heaters, and blow heaters to ensure the users and tenants can continue within the building.

The Foundry Sheffield will begin to look at other buildings and whether the impact of the work can be furthered into different areas and places.

The Foundry Sheffield has received funding from the Future High Street Fund with an ultimate aim to increase footfall into the city centre. Plans are in place to restore some of the historic beauty of the building down Chapel Walk and to make the internal parts of the building more accessible, along with upgrades to some of the facilities.

Structure, governance and management

The Foundry Sheffield is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and a registered charity, 1162688. The charity's governing document is its Constitution.

Policy decisions of the charity are taken by the trustees. Up to three trustees may be nominated by Victoria Hall Methodist Church Council, up to three trustees may be nominated from the Sheffield Circuit by the Sheffield Circuit Meeting, 1 trustee may be nominated by the Sheffield District of the Methodist Church, the Minister of Victoria Hall Methodist Church is an ex-officio trustee of The Foundry Sheffield and one of the Super-intendants of the Sheffield Circuit is an ex-officio trustee of The Foundry Sheffield and up to three trustees may be co-opted by the elected trustees by reason of their knowledge, skills and experience are able to make a contribution to the work and objects of the CIO. Trustees stand for a period of 3 years and coopted trustees are appointed for a maximum of one year but may be co-opted for a further period of one year.

The Foundry’s trustees are all volunteers with a variety of personal specialisms - including architecture, community engagement and finance - and their aim is to see the Victoria Hall become a key venue for everything from concerts to conferences and as a hub for a host of city charities, small businesses and organisation.

The chair of trustees stepped down at the end of June having served since The Foundry Sheffield was first registered.

The trustees delegate day to day running of the charity to a small team of committed workers, supported by volunteer teams on reception and to support events. A team of 10 keeps the building open 7 days a week 365 days a year.

Risk management

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees of The Foundry Sheffield (“the Charity”)

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Your attention is also to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with the relevant version of the 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

I have no other concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Foundry Sheffield Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 30 June 2023

1 Accounting Policies

a General

The Foundry Sheffield is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales. In the event that the charity is wound up the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £nil per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the information on page 1 of these financial statements.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the relevant version of the 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) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the relevant version of the 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) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements have taken advantage of the exemption to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £1.

b 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.

Contract income for the supply of services is recognised wit the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual obligation for it to be spent on a particular purposes and return if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

c 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.

d Tangible fixed assets

All items of capital expenditure below £2,000 are written off as incurred.

e Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.

f Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
