Structure, governance and management

Type of governing document - CIO Foundation

How the charity is constituted - Trust CIO

Trustee Selection Methods

Initially, Trustees were selected from Community Group members who expressed an interest. Subsequent Trustees are proposed, reviewed, and elected by a majority vote of the existing Trustees, subject to a quorum.

Additional Governance

Trustee Training/Induction

All Trustees are expected to engage annually with additional information or specific training to ensure they fully understand their duties and responsibilities. Upon first becoming a Trustee, individuals are provided with the latest documentation from the Charity Commission's website, along with overviews of financial processes, policies, and procedures. New Trustees are also offered peer support from longstanding Trustees. The charity now operates as a standalone organisation.

Organisational Structure

The charity’s organisational structure comprises a Chair and Trustees, who are allocated roles and responsibilities based on the charity's needs and the Trustees' expertise, interests, and wishes. The charity also includes non-voting members and a wider member base that advises on various areas of need, including Health and Safety and Grant Applications.

Risk Management

A major risk is the management of the cinema's revenue base and the potential inability of any parties to continue generating revenue. To mitigate this risk, several personnel have been fully trained and have become competent in multiple tasks, reducing the risk of a single point of failure. This broader skills base will continue to develop in line with the charity’s growth.

Section C

Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

The charitable intent and aspirations of the Market Hall project were, from the outset based on all financial resources being utilised to advance the cultural objectives of the Trustees and staff and volunteers. The community group taking acquisition of the historic cinema/theatre as an asset from the local authority allowed immediate programme redevelopment and cultural objectives being put in place for public benefit. The intention was to build a financially strong business model based around an income generating cinema that would 'subsidise' and co-fund community arts and cultural projects/provision as well as developing social inclusion/cohesion through the art form of film itself and the cinema’s delivery to the local populace. The overall plan was that the cinema could trading arm for the community group to achieve it’s cultural, artistic and charitable goals, working in conjunction with partner organisations, the Market Hall Community Group and other

charities/organisations and individuals were to deliver projects and events both charged and free at the point of entry for the general public. Charitable objects/goals are as follows:

Goals

Film & Cultural Provision for Public Benefit

Over the period during which the charity has managed this historic venue, The Market Hall has provided substantial film, arts, and cultural opportunities for public benefit. Central to our mission is using the arts as a tool for engagement and participation. By employing these means, we aim to widen access to arts and culture while ensuring an inclusive “access for all” policy, thereby helping to combat social exclusion.

Cultural development is a pivotal tool in enhancing arts activities, particularly considering governmental budget cuts. By leveraging the arts and cultural industries, we strive to uplift the aspirations of not only our participants but also the broader community, thus aiding in the fight against poverty. As articulated in the Welsh Government's 'Culture & Poverty Document 2014,' by identifying access to and participation in the arts, culture, and heritage as an aspect of social justice and a powerful weapon against poverty, the Welsh Government recognises the role of culture in shaping our identity and aspirations (Baroness Kay Andrews OBE).

Our project aims to reinforce and expand the inclusion of cultural activities beyond state parameters within Blaenau Gwent and surrounding areas. By highlighting best practices and seeking positive methods to encourage participation, The Market Hall, as a cultural organisation, is better positioned to collaborate with other sectors in film, the arts, cultural provision, and audience development.

Several studies, including those by Professor Dai Smith, have demonstrated that involvement in the arts significantly bolsters the academic achievements of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Main Activities Undertaken for Public Benefit

The Trustees have adhered to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in relation to these objectives. The summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit includes:

Section D

Achievements and Performance

Throughout the year, our work with volunteers has remained a significant strength of the organisation. We continue to welcome a consistent and diverse group of volunteers, aged between 16 and 75, each bringing different levels of ability, confidence, and experience. Our environment is particularly supportive for neurodivergent young people, who benefit from the structured routines and calm, predictable nature of our shifts. Many volunteers also bring exceptional technical skills, which we are able to nurture and develop within the cinema setting.

We have strengthened our engagement with Welsh Government employment schemes, resulting in ‑ two volunteers securing six month paid roles within the cinema this year. When their contracts conclude, both individuals intend to continue volunteering while they seek longer ‑ term employment, demonstrating the strong sense of belonging and purpose they have found with us.

Our partnerships with voluntary organisations remain vital, enabling individuals who require additional support to take their first steps into volunteering with the Trust. Progress also continues in the Old Market Hall area of the building, supported by a People’s Lottery grant that is helping us make the space safe and usable for future community activity.

This year has seen growth in both our paid and volunteer workforce. Our volunteer programme continues to offer meaningful opportunities to people across our community, underpinned by our commitment to inclusivity. We welcome neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals alike, regardless of age, ability, gender, or race.

Our digital engagement also remains strong. Our Facebook page has grown to over 15,000 followers, providing an active platform for community feedback, consultation, and conversation. Followers regularly share honest suggestions, helping us refine and improve our services. We now have an additional Facebook page which is growing, this page will be utilised in the future to promote the wider art activities of the Trust.

Financial sustainability has been a key focus. We have reviewed our operating model to ensure the cinema continues to run responsibly and efficiently. Our financial position and risk registers are ‑ monitored continuously to safeguard the long term future of the organisation.

At the end of the previous reporting period, the Trust made the decision to expand its Autism Friendly offer to include all films, regardless of classification, every Wednesday. This development enables adults with sensory needs to enjoy the film of their choice in a comfortable environment, supported by increased lighting and reduced sound levels. This bold and inclusive step has been extremely well received by our adult customers, marking a significant improvement on our previous Autism Friendly provision, which focused solely on children’s titles.

Alongside this, our captioned screenings for people who are hard of hearing available for every film on Mondays ensure that our accessibility offer is consistent, reliable, and genuinely inclusive. Rather than providing occasional token screenings, we now offer regular, predictable, and meaningful adjustments that allow more members of our community to enjoy cinema in a way that meets their needs.

In collaboration with Blaenau Gwent Council and Brynmawr Town Council, we hosted a wonderful St David’s Day celebration at the iconic Market Hall Cinema. The event was filled with joy, pride, and a real sense of community as talented schoolchildren delivered outstanding performances on our historic stage.

We are deeply grateful to all the participating schools for making the day so memorable. Their involvement reflects our ongoing commitment to celebrating Welsh culture and heritage, and to

strengthening our partnerships with local schools through creative, community ‑ focused events. Bringing young people into the cinema to share and showcase Welsh identity is a vital part of our cultural offer, and we are proud to support opportunities that connect education, the arts, and national celebration.

During the period, we were proud to showcase the work of two independent Welsh filmmakers, strengthening our commitment to supporting local talent and sharing stories rooted in our national ‑ heritage. As part of the 40th anniversary of the UK wide Miners’ Strike, we were selected as one of the cinemas to screen The Miner’s Son, an independent production by filmmaker Kevin Short. This powerful film resonated strongly with our audiences and contributed to wider cultural reflection across Wales.

‑ We also hosted the premiere of Mauled by a Dog, a BAFTA Award winning short film by Sion Thomas. Supporting this premiere further reinforced our role as a platform for emerging and established Welsh creatives, ensuring that independent voices continue to be heard and celebrated within our community.

We continue to support two local organisations that use film as a powerful tool for engagement and awareness ‑ raising. The Motor Neurone Disease Association held its annual awareness event at The Market Hall Cinema, using the space to bring the community together and highlight the realities of ‑ living with MND. We also worked closely with Fostering Wales, who utilise on screen messaging to promote the importance of fostering within Blaenau Gwent. These partnerships demonstrate our commitment to using film not only for entertainment, but as a meaningful medium for education, advocacy, and community connection.

The highlight of the year was the nomination of one of our treasured volunteers for a GAVO (Gwent Association of Voluntary Organisations) Award. We were immensely proud when he was presented with the Inspirational Young Volunteer Award at an evening ceremony. This recognition is particularly meaningful given the many health challenges he overcame during childhood. His dedication, resilience, and commitment to the Trust have been an inspiration to us all.

Since then, he has successfully gained employment with a nearby multiplex cinema chain, and we are delighted that he continues to keep in touch with us. His journey reflects the positive impact of ‑ our volunteering programme and the life changing opportunities it can help create.

Section E

Financial Review

Reserves are designated for reinvestment purposes, primarily aimed at the ongoing maintenance costs of the existing building and then the refurbishment of the adjoining building, which will be utilised as an arts & performance space with a small second screen (30 or so seats). This additional screen will enable us to highlight a wider variety of films, including those from independent filmmakers, art house productions, and foreign language films. We received a small grant specifically aimed at this adjoining building, which we primarily utilised to add phase 1 working toilets, power sockets, lighting, smoke alarms, CCTV and other required safety features. Improve office areas, etc. To get this adjoining building to a state whereby small exhibitions etc could be shown.. We endeavour to maintain a contingency fund to ensure the continuation of our activities during any closures, whether enforced or due to adverse weather conditions. Furthermore, reserves will be allocated to develop additional training opportunities for volunteers, including those from minority groups.

The Board of Trustees has conducted a thorough review of its Risk Register to elevate the risk levels in response to the cost-of-living crisis, substandard film production, increasing utility costs, and the rising National Minimum Wage and continuing reduction in admissions and ancillary sales post Covid.

Section F

Other optional information

The principal source of funds is the revenue generated from operating the cinema as a commercial enterprise, net of costs. Additionally, the charity receives donations and sponsorships, solicited on both long-term and short-term bases.

Many of the charity's community activities are funded from day-to-day revenue and costs rather than through a specific project budget. This approach, combined with fundraising efforts, ensures that expenditure is aligned with the key objectives of the charity.

The charity's investment policy and objectives, including any adopted ethical investment policy, are designed to support its financial sustainability and ethical standards.

2.3. Resources Expended

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities

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.

2.5. Stocks and Work in Progress

Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.

If an item of stock is impaired, the identified stock is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the statement of financial activities. Where a reversal of the impairment is required the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the statement of financial activities.
