Megaphone Project in Great Yarmouth

We delivered a creative activism project in Great Yarmouth in partnership with the Freshly Greated Creative People and Places consortium. The artwork created was displayed at a ‘Play, Produce, Promote’ event facilitated by the Freshly Greated young producers group.

The Virtual School for Looked After Children

We delivered creative workshops at the Virtual School’s celebration event in July 2022 which led to the creation of an animated film prospectus for the Virtual School voiced by their students.

Norwich 2040 Local Cultural Education Partnership (LCEP)

YNAT is the delivery arm and secretariat for the Norwich 2040 Local Cultural Education Partnership. Since March 2020, the Partnership has delivered two successful Citywide projects – Figurine it Out and Postcard Poems - which engaged more than 7,000 school children.

>Engage Works

This is a programme run by YNAT in partnership with the LCEP. Its aim is to provide relevant and practical opportunities for young people to engage with the creative industries locally and to explore the idea of careers in the cultural sector. An in person >Engage Works event took place in November 2022 at the National Centre for Writing and was well received by all participants.

Plans for the future

The past year has been challenging for everyone due to rising inflation and the cost-of-living crisis. We are confident that our strong partnerships and flexible attitude will enable us to adapt to difficult circumstances once again in 2023-2024.

Norwich and Norfolk have a deeply cultural heritage and we are pleased to be a part of their wider creative ecology. We look forward to delivering programmes and opportunities in the Levelling up for Culture places and to working closely with our partners in those areas to achieve change. We will continue our deep involvement with the LCEP and will work in partnership with it to deliver and disseminate opportunities for cultural education. Our City Voices project is well underway, and we look forward to hearing its results during performance opportunities throughout the County.

Delivery will continue to include digital options in order to ameliorate accessibility issues such as the county’s geography, and to encourage harder to reach groups to work with us such as the D/deaf community as well as to lessen environmental impacts from our activities.

In 2022-2023 we engaged two new young trustees: Robbie Maloney and Ellie Reeves. We feel it is important that youth voice is represented at Board level and the new trustees can ensure that the future plans and strategy are properly representative of that voice.

YOUNG NORFOLK ARTS TRUST

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Financial review of the year

The charity reported a net deficit of £32,729 for the year to 31 March 2023 (2022: a surplus of £15,128). This deficit comprised a net movement on restricted funds, with the movement on unrestricted funds being £nil (2022: £nil).

The restricted fund deficit relates mainly to spending of restricted grants brought forward at 1 April 2022 on the relevant project activity. In particular £43,046 of funding from Arts Council England was brought forward for a project running from September 2021 to July 2023. A further grant instalment of £39,200 was received during the 2022-23 financial year and £70,965 was spent on the project, leaving a balance of funding of £11,281 to take forward to spend on the remaining project activity taking place after 31 March 2023.

The detailed breakdown by fund of income received, and the associated spending, is given in Note 11 to the financial statements which also gives a description of all of the funds held. During the year to 31 March 2023, we were pleased to be awarded funding from Norwich School, Norwich Charitable Trusts, Alan Boswell Group Charitable Trust, The Geoffrey Watling Charity and Norfolk Community Foundation among others.

Total reserves stood at £81,702 on 31 March 2023 (2022: £114,431) of which £34,687 was held as unrestricted funds (2022: £34,687) with the balance being held as restricted funds. Restricted fund reserve levels have fallen year on year from £79,744 to £47,015.

The charity raises income from a variety of sources and is heavily reliant on grant income from local and national charities and Arts Council England (ACE).

Going concern and reserves policy

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The charity's reserves policy is only to commit to expenditure when sufficient levels of income have been received or pledged. The charity’s unrestricted fund balance of £34,687 is held mainly as cash, and represents just under three months of annual expenditure. It is needed to manage the cashflow demands of large projects, and provides funds to be able to give some time to manage the financial future of the charity in the event of any unanticipated changes to funding or activity.

As at 31 March 2023, the level of restricted reserves was £47,015 (2022: £79,744)

YOUNG NORFOLK ARTS TRUST

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Young Norfolk Arts Trust ('the charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the Year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts 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) 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.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 2011 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.

I have no 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.

YOUNG NORFOLK ARTS TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Young Norfolk Arts Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

11

YOUNG NORFOLK ARTS TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable activities are costs incurred on the charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

1.5 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.6 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

1.7 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

1.8 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.

1.9 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
