MALVERN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY TRUST (MALVERN CUBE) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the CIO’s constitution, the Charities Act 2011, 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) Section 1A small entities (from 1 January 2019)’.

Objectives and activities

Malvern Youth and Community Trust (MYCT) was set up in 2012 after it obtained a long term lease on a former youth centre. Service to local young people was a condition of its lease, and alongside building a centre for the community, this has remained part of MYCT’s vision and purpose. Its aims and objectives are to benefit the residents of Malvern and the surrounding area by providing facilities and opportunities which promote social welfare, education, recreation and leisure time occupation, including provision for young people. Since 2016 provision for young people has been led by a separate sister charity Malvern Cube Projects (MCP). MYCT and MCP’s objectives are realised by working in collaboration with the residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations.

MYCT’s principal function is to facilitate and provide space and opportunities for local residents to come together and share a feeling of community through operating a community and arts centre known as Malvern Cube. Here it hires rooms at affordable rates to community and support groups in line with its charitable objectives. It uses its theatre space to promote and encourage performance of many types, the development of which has been a key focus initiated in 2020 and continuing ever since. MYCT encourages recreation through sport, leisure arts, craft and wellbeing activities. It hosts a youth club and provides rooms for delivery of education and training.

Public Benefit

The trustees consider that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011, in having due regard to public benefit.

Achievements and performance

This was the first full year in which we could say the pandemic and its after-effects were truly behind us, although cases of Covid were still reported from time to time. Our hiring rate was back to pre-pandemic levels, while our events programme really moved into gear, contributing substantially to life at the Cube ‘after hours’.

After the major improvements of the previous year, infrastructural improvements were relatively modest, but two important projects were completed from our own resources. Firstly, the IT upgrade the previous year was made substantially more robust with a full re-cabling of the centre to streamline and simplify the network, and ensure every switch, connector and cable was properly identified and labelled to make maintenance and repair faster, more effective and more efficient. Remarkably, this was achieved in two days with minimum disturbance to the centre’s activities. Secondly, arising from an earlier audit of our facilities and equipment by the Performing Arts Group, a lighting control desk that complied with modern standards was installed in the theatre to improve and simplify the whole lighting operation during performances.

This second improvement ran parallel to the focus brought by implementing the Performing Arts Strategy, namely a marked increase in the number and quality of events put on at the Cube, either by external organisers, or by the Cube itself. The result was an increased profile in the Community, not only as an alternative venue for good value drama and music, but also among emerging dramatists and musicians looking to showcase their talents. This was also reflected in the financial performance of this element of the Cube’s activity, which saw a marked increase in revenue and contribution to covering the Cube’s overheads.

A really important ‘behind-the-scenes' activity was completed this year that put one of our key assertions on a sound and measurable footing, namely the creation of a comprehensive Risk Register. The trustees have always

1

MALVERN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY TRUST (MALVERN CUBE) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

managed the key risks to the Cube, backed up by policies and procedures to ensure smooth, safe and secure operation. This year saw a systematic audit of Risk across all aspects of the Cube’s operations, using an established risk assessment methodology that combined likelihood and potential consequence to generate a ‘traffic light’ indicator of risk. (Red indicates immediate remedial action required, Amber that some action may be beneficial, Green that no action is required provided nothing changes). The audit revealed nothing ‘red’ but a handful of ‘amber’, confirming that we had done a good job up to now, but should consider whether the ‘amber’ risks needed further mitigation.

Staffing and Volunteers

While noting these specific highlights, the Cube would be nothing without the people who keep it running every day, from the Centre manager and the office team, to the staff who keep it clean and well-maintained, the staff and volunteers who run the café, and the team of staff and volunteers who ensure our events run smoothly for performers and audience alike. To put this into context, the Cube’s staff team now numbers 11, supported by 25 volunteers across all activities and times of day. (Pre-pandemic, the numbers were 2 and 5 respectively!)

The steady stream of comments on the warm welcome, the lively positive atmosphere, and the sheer joy of participation, tells us we are providing a real community benefit that is enjoyed and appreciated by all who come through the doors.

Financial Review

These accounts have been prepared for the financial year ending 31 March 2024.

The result for the year was a deficit of £5,305 (2023 – surplus £12,790). The amount of reserves as at the balance sheet date amounted to £223,670 (2023 - £228,975) including restricted funds of £71,159 (2023 - £69,750). Free reserves, which includes unrestricted funds after eliminating tangible fixed assets amounted to £48,493 (2023 – £35,261).

As already noted, the hiring level was back to pre-pandemic levels, and this was reflected in hire income, modestly helped by a small increase in hourly room hire rates (the first increase in 6 years). The cafe, which provides the ‘beating heart’ of the centre, as well as supporting various events, managed to cover its direct costs of food, drink, consumables, and staffing. The events themselves, also as previously noted, took off this year, increasing revenues and containing costs to contribute massively towards our general overheads.

The Cube’s financial strategy calls for its operational costs to be met by operational income, which in practice means from hiring space, running the cafe, and hosting events. Historically, this has not often happened, with shortfalls made up by generous donations from local organisations and benefactors, enabling us to keep our rates at levels the whole community can afford.

We therefore acknowledge with grateful thanks the donations from the Bransford Trust, the Hawthorne Charitable Trust, the Malvern Hills Community Foundation, The Co-operative Community Fund, and several smaller donors, who between them have enabled us to support the physical and mental well-being of a wide variety of users through our community room rates and café.

The net effect by the end of the year was an operational surplus, and a healthy bank balance at year end of £120k (up from £104k a year earlier) of which £30K (up from £20K the year before) resided in our ‘rainy day’ reserve account, thus meeting a strategic objective of maintaining a reserve fund equivalent to 3 months’ expenditure.

Risk management

The trustees both directly and through the Centre Manager conduct an on-going process of risk assessment in every area of the Cube's operational life. In addition to the creation of the Risk Register described above,

2

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

the policy on Risk Management was reviewed, along with those on Health and Safety, Safeguarding, and Finance. All other policies are part of an on-going system of regular periodic review.

Structure, Governance and Management

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company information

Malvern Youth and Community Trust (Malvern Cube) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Its registered office is Albert Road North, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14 2YF.

a) Basis of Accounting

The accounts have been prepared 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) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The accounts have been prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the CIO. Monetary amounts in these accounts are rounded to the nearest £.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

b) Incoming Resources

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the CIO has an 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 can measured reliably.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognized once the CIO has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the CIO has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Rent received in advance for the hire of rooms has been deferred to the period in which the rent relates.

c) Donated services

The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in income.

d) Resources expended

All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Creditors represent the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle a debt or a provision for goods and services it has received not yet invoiced, measured at settlement amount.

e) Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the Society but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include governance costs which support the Society’s activities.

8

MALVERN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY TRUST (MALVERN CUBE) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

f) Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Property improvements 10% on cost Computer equipment 33 1/3% on cost Decking 10% on cost Toilets 10% on cost Furniture and equipment 25% on cost Kitchen 10% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

g) Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the CIO reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cashflows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/(expenditure) for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, I which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

h) Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is computed on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less estimated cost of disposal.

i) Pensions

j) Fund accounting

9

MALVERN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY TRUST (MALVERN CUBE) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

k) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Society; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

l) Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the CIO is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

m) Financial instruments

The CIO has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the CIO’s balance sheet when the CIO becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the CIO’s contractural obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

n) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

10

MALVERN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY TRUST (MALVERN CUBE) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

o) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

MALVERN YOUTH AND COMMUNITY TRUST (MALVERN CUBE) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RESTRICTED FUNDS (continued)

Restricted donations received during the year:

A grant of £25,000 from the Postcode Lottery for Stranger Futures was channeled through MYCT until Stranger Futures had established their charitable status and associated bank account, whereupon the £25,000 was transferred to them. We do not regard this as an income or an expense incurred by MYCT.

The Census Return support fund was active in 2021. As instructed by the Census organisers, we invoiced the Census authority for the materials and equipment we needed and for the services we were required to supply, at rates pre-set by the Census authority. The Census authority was satisfied that we had fulfilled its requirements in full, approving and paying our invoices. The balance of funding remaining is not a restricted fund awaiting disposal and is therefore transferred into the unrestricted reserves.

14. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

In the application of the CIO’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revisions affects both current and future periods.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Remuneration of key management personnel

The remuneration of key management personnel is as follows:
