Contribution made by volunteers	Para 1.38	Valley Arts now has a local network of 50 committed volunteers. The charity is extremely proud of the hard work and efforts of all our volunteers, who help plan, organise and run our performances. Creativity doesn’t just exist on stage - it happens in the back office, planning events; the hard work and late nights of setting-up and packing-down a performance; having a friendly smile welcoming our audiences. Running the bar, checking everything is running smoothly. It is in the thoughtfulness and effort made by our dedicated team of volunteers that make each Valley Arts event a success. Volunteers from our local community are the backbone of Valley Arts. Without them, it would be impossible to deliver our comprehensive programme of events and performances.

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	2024 was a major year for Valley Arts. Rising Waters - Community Project and Play The plans were in place for our first ever major community-wide project and play – Rising Waters. The theme focused on the natural aspects of the Chew Valley, which has Chew Valley and Blagdon lakes at its heart. Our Theatre Makers Group, working with local schools and connecting with elders in our community brought this amazing spectacle to life with three very well attended outdoor performances in July at Yeo Valley Organic Garden, overlooking Blagdon Lake. Community engagement included schools workshops, writing workshops, involvement in all aspects of scripting, devising, staging, costumes and performance. Story telling involved the impact and power of water on the environment in a global context, brought to life with community thoughts and memories – and a giant handmade fish puppet! The year in numbers Looking at the year in numbers, Valley Arts grew hugely. We delivered 115 live performances to a total audience of more than 6,450 people. We engaged 68 theatre companies or groups, with 508 performing artists, delivering performances in 29 community venues across the Chew Valley. The charity also delivered a comprehensive series of free workshops. Once again, Valley Arts community work has been to the forefront in 2024, with both senior members of our community – working with WERN and Chew Chat, and our local primary schools. Primary Schools. Free workshops across six local primary schools (Winford, Chew Magna, Chew Stoke, Bishop Sutton, East Harptree and Ubley). Youth Theatre The Valley Arts Youth Theatre goes from strength to strength. It has grown in size, now with 45

members aged 7-14 years of age. The Youth Theatre has two paid assistants, alongside our two professional performing arts leaders. The Youth Theatre has been able to grant three members a 50% reduction in fees. These young people would otherwise not have been able to continue coming to the group due to the rising cost of living. The holiday clubs have also been a huge success, and once again the theatre summer camp was well attended. Theatre Makers Group The charity has formed a network of local Theatre Makers. This group of very engaged professionals meets regularly. We had learned so much from the process of putting together Rising Waters, that our community had so many stories to tell, and so began development of a second ambitious community project for delivery in 2025, entitled ‘Hidden Voices’. More midsummer magic at Yeo Valley Organic Garden For the second year Valley Arts organised and ran the summer season of hugely popular outdoor events in collaboration with Yeo Valley Organic Garden. The stunning outdoor venue beside Blagdon Lake, Valley Arts brought a series of five performances including Quantum Theatre’s Great Expectations, The Handlebards The Comedy of Errors, Hansel and Gretal from Opera in a Box, Illyria Theatres Romeo and Juliet, and another stunning Gig in the Garden from blues and soul singer Beth Rowley with support from Rosanna Schura. We sold out every night, with great positive feedback from audience members. Music Club Launched in 2022, Valley Arts Music Club covers diverse musical styles including jazz, classical, folk and rock. This has now broadened to include monthly Open Mic nights at The Pony in Chew Magna. Monthly Jazz Jam nights also now run in The Peli Barn in Chew Magna, where local musicians can turn up and accompany the Valley Arts professional house band. These are popular nights and have become part of the local fabric of the community.

The Open Mic nights also lead to us putting on a Showcase of local talent in the Autumn, which was part of the Fringe Festival. Fringe Festival 2024 National Lottery project funding from Arts Council England enabled Valley Arts to once again put on the Autumn Fringe Festival, now in its 8[th] year. This delivered sixteen live performances, along with 17 free workshops to enable members of the community to get involved with the performing arts themselves. The 2024 Fringe Festival programme was even more diverse than ever, with theatre, comedy, open mic music, children’s performances, workshops and much more. All delivered to enthusiastic audiences. The festival launched with the popular Hoedown taking place at Chew Stoke Harvest Home. Highlights included: children’s performances from The Wardrobe Theatre – The Deep Sea Seekers, Little Red Riding Could from Roustabout Theatre, Mini Stinker from Soap Soup Theatre. Adult shows included Brigderton by Candlelight at St by Bristol Ensemble at St Andrew’s Church. Mohand and Peter from PSYCHEdelight Theatre Company, House of Figs Awkward Guide to Friendship, The New Blur Album from John Osbourne and a murder mystery – Done to Death, by Jove! from Gavin Robertson and Nicholas Collett.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: · the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a

the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did 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.
