Flnaneial Review Between November 2020 and July 2021, various levels of lockdown restrictions continued to apply, meaning our activity continued mostly online. In the spring of 2021 small outdoor events became possible, and we were able to hav¢ art and music in the parks, as well as providing online art workshops with various differ¢nt artists. Finally in September we wer¢ able to go ah¢ad with the Festival of Stars at Whaddon, spending the grant onnallY received from Awards for All in 2019-20. This was always plann¢d to be a free ¢v¢nt, and aside from a small amount of donations was completely funded by grants and reserves. £l,IXK) of the original grant amount W&8 towards the Projecl L¢ad¢r's salary, and this h&s been transferred from the Stars fund to the Salary restricted fund during this year. as until the f¢stival took place (on the fourth attempt at finding a possible dale) it was not certain that we could keep the grant. As planned and expected, the reserves have dreaSed to £8k. as a result of spending the grants received. Around £3k is remaining in the restricted salary fund, and a small amount is remaining on grants from Cheltenham Arts Council, as we ¢xpect further expenses frorn the touring exhibition of banners inspir1 by the theme of Eden. The remaining £4.5k is Unrestrict funds, mostly built up from r¢gular giving and donations. We have also raised funds by charging commission on the sal¢ of art from the various art exhibitions during the year. Each of th¢s¢ is an OPFKYrtunity for Christian artists to Show their work. and fulfils our mission to show¢&se the mtivity of talent. Although the events are not necessarily profitable, and the commission for the Open Studios was split evenly with the venue that hosted th¢ exhibition, this commission is classified as other Irading activities for the pu4x)se of raising funds. Income was £15,342 {2020: £29,962). Expenditure w&s £32,688 (2020 £16.223). resulting in a deficit of £17,345, (2020 surplus £13.739). Prior y¢ar comparisons have only been made with 2020, as our prior years now are all very different. but it is clear that the surplu5 generated in 2020 has now been spent. No fiwther grants for tllre projects have yet been received. Sources of Income 2021 Stwrtrs ol irKtyme 2020 Ticket sales consist only of tickets to ihe Black, Blessed & British event hostsj by Claudette Douglas. The majority of this event was funded by a donatio but a failure to spread word of mouth at the venu¢ church made for disapp)inting attendance, though the quality of the

impact made w&s inspiring. Online artist workshops and events in the park wer¢ all free to attend. as wer¢ art exhibitions and the main festival. IO°/o of total income (2020: 5Q/o) now comes fTom regular monthly givers and the monthly Cheltenham Lottery. Most r¢8ular giving comes via Stewardship. and h&s already had Gift Aid added at source. At the end of the period, c&sh in the bank and at hand amounted to £7,966. a decrease of £16k during the year. because of the aforementioned timing iUeS. We are extremely grdteful to all our funders: The Diocese of Gloucester Life Development Fund, the Cheltenham Arts Council, and to individual donors, whose generosity funded several specific events. At time of writing, we do not know whdher or not the Diocese of Gloucester will continue fijnding the Project Leader salary, although we have had some encouraging comments from the Diocesan officer. We have enough left in the restricted fund from previous years to fimd salary and redundancy costs until January 2022. and a further unrestricted balance which can be used to bridge the gap until April, by which time we should have heard from the Diocese and other potential fimders. Risk Management The Trustees r¢8ularly review and monitor the risks associat with running the Charity. The principal risks are financial in the requirement to commit expenditure in the advance planning and marketing of activities and ¢v¢nts' and in the risk that expenditures exceed projected income from ticket sales. donations and grant applications. A key risk is the continuation of fimding for the Project LAder salary. wiihout which the festival will hav¢ to reconsider the scale of its activities. Other risks include health and safety. safeguarding and data prntectio for which appropriate wlici¢s and procsjures have been put in place. Reserves Policy Th¢ Trustees believe it is prudent to hold sufficient reserves to cover between three- and six- months nllming costs. Due to the possibility that further salary funding may not be obtained. the Trustees also consider it prudent to designate a reserve equal to the redundancy pay that would be due if the Project Leader's employment had to come to an end through lack of funding. Thi5 figure is currently £865. The balance of restricted funds regarding salary costs in these accounts is £3.042, consisling of redundancy costs plus slightly over two months salary costs allowing us lo continue eMplOlent until 31° December 2021, befor¢ dipping into the free reserves of £4,531.

COVID 19 Due to the exceptional circumstan¢es occasioned by the COVID 19 epidemic, particular attention must be drawn to the continuation of the festival. However over ihe last two years we have continued to provide events online and in person despite the restrictions placed on activity, and we have proved agile enough to plan for smaller scale and outdoors events, adapting as restrictions may be revis. FinanciAI Position Outside of festivals. the principal running costs of the Charity are those &ssociated with the employment of the Project Leader. and while there is some uncertainty here it is not directly COVID related. Reserve5 The Trust¢¢s r¢8ularly monitor the Charity's rt%erves, income and outgoings. They are satisfied that the Charity's reserves are sufficient to support ils plans and commitments.

Notes to the Accounts: l. Accounting policies a) Accounting b&8is The accounts have been prepar under the historical Cost convention. and in accordance the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102, and with the Statement of Recommended Prdctice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial RertIng Standard FRS 102 and the Charities Act 2011. The applicable legal framework for non-company charities has not been updated to keep pace with the publication of Statements of Recommended Prdctice, and therefore the charity has chosen to use the aforementioned SORP in line with the Charity Commission guidance on the subject. b) The accounts have been pr¢pared on ihe going concem basis. as reserves are on target and there are very few forward commitments at this date. c) The charily constitutes a public benefit entity &s defined by FRS 102. d) The charitias fimctional and presentation currthcy is the wund sterling. e) Fixed &ssets and depreciation Equipment which is expected to provide a benefit beyond one festival is classed as capital expenditure, and depreciat on a stTaight line basis over its useful life. There is no capitalisation threshold as asset purchases are relatively rare. Depreciation on equipment purch1 with restricted grants is clas5&J as restricted spend. Incoming resourc¢s All incoming resources are included in the Stalement of Financial Aclivities when the charity is entitled to the income, receipt is probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accurdcy. The following sources of income are usual: Ticket Sales: Ticket sales are recognised after the event for which the ticket was sold. Until the event takes plac4 the tM)ssibility olhaving to return tick income on cancellation of the event is considered to remove the entitlement. Grant income.. Grant income is recognised when received. unless there are specific perforniance related criteria that mean entitlement wmot be guaranteed until after perfonnance. Donations are re¢ognised when received. Gift aid is accrued for if the amount seems likely to be material: in this year very f¢w donations were potentially gift aid-able so the atnount is likely lo be less than £50 and therefore has not been accruoj. Commission on sales of artworks: recognised on receipt of the money, usually via payal. g) Outgoing resources 13

Expenditure is reco)1$ on an ac¢ruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT as the charity is not VAT registered. so VAT cannot be reclaim¢d and th¢refor¢ is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relate5'. Charitable activities comprise the costs of putting on the festival, including insurance and the monthly subscription to You Tube that allows us to post video content online. It also includes th¢ cost of the Project Leader's employment. Marketing consists of all marketing. advertising and brochu production and distribution costs. Other ¢xpenses consist of offic£ expenses and professional fees. In the previous year. following the online f¢stival. some art WO created during the event was sold to the festival and re-sold to viewers. The cost of the art is counted as cost of raising fijnds. This year. all sales of art were handled as pass through monies collected by the Festival via cash or the Ftival'S card payment machine. and passed on to artists net of a commission. Only the commission appears as income in the accounts, and there are no costs. No Governance costs have been incurra this year. again due to the kindness of volunteers. Two eXpenS payTrents were made to wple who have been or are TTUSt¢e5. although they weTC not Tnte% at the time thc expenses were claimaj.

The grant for the 2020 festival contained £l,IM)O towards the salary sts of the Project Leader. This was left in the festival of Stars restricted fund last year end due to the uncertainty over perforn]ance of the festival. Once the festival had taken place, this £l,IXX) was transferred to the salary restricted fund. Other transfers are all relating to using unrestricted funds to CA)ver any excess costs OV the r¢strict¢d income. 11.Related party transactions During the year, a concert was held under the banner of Cheltenham Christian Arts Festival using our account with Stripe to collect advance ticket sales. The risks of the event were borne by the trustee organising the event, who personally paid all the artists and event costs. using the money collected via Ch¢lt¢nham Christian Arts Festival a5 well as any additional sales on the night of the concert. For this rwon the income and expenditure for this concert is not shown in these accounts, only the donation of £107 which was made from the trustee to ihe Festival, representing the profit after all expern8es were settled. This donation has not been included on any Gift 20

Aid claim. FutUTe ¢oncerts which take place under the Christian Arts Festival will see both costs and income going through the ChTistian Arts festival account. 12.Trustee expenses During the year, £62.20 (2020: £0) of expenses incutTaJ by persons who had served as Trustees were reimbursed. A payment of £27.50 ¢lear¢d the bank after year end. to Sue Holbrook for workshop materials used in the Eden banner Project. Sue Holbrook had ¢arli¢r stood down as a truslee for personal reasons. In March a panent was made to Myn Cotterill to Tcimburse her for stationery and tK)stage. No remuneralion was received by any Trustee in payTrent for their services. 21
