## **Directors' responsibilities**
The directors are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these accounts, the directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- ● prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Disclosure of information to auditors**
Each person who was a director at the time this report was approved confirms that:
- so far as he is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the
- he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.
## **Aim and Objectives**
Produced to the highest artistic standards and with widely recognised sense of cultural mission, the work of Polish Stage UK serves to reinforce the sense of national identity and appreciation of the rich cultural heritage of Poles abroad within the context of modern multicultural British society. It benefits not only the Polish community in UK for whom theatre has always been one of the key cultural expressions and needs, but also the wider society who learn to understand and appreciate their special qualities, diffusing tensions and prejudices and encouraging cooperation. Polish Stage UK enriches, educates and entertains the different sections of the public, providing intergenerational bridges amongst this largest of British minorities, helping them to express creatively their evolving predicament ,to integrate and share with their environment the wealth of their cultural tradition, to add and contribute to the rich mosaic of life in UK.
## **Benefit to the Public**
We try to cater to different groups by analysing their needs and answering them appropriately. Thus we offer reduced prices and special concessions to students and the OAPs. We cater in a special way to schools by offering educational packs and Saturday morning performances at radically reduced ticket prices. We help to encourage and organise trips of coach parties from larger centres outside of London offering them support in covering part of their travel costs and group reductions. We have set up a Club of Friends of Polish Stage consisting mainly of senior members of the Polish community, whom we offer may privileges from concessions in ticket prices, to regular communication via specially written blogs, priority information and bookings as well as social meetings and events. Very crucially we are open to anyone who would like to participate and help in our activities, contributing to promotion, participating in discussions and planning, contributing new material or recruiting new talent.
This report was approved by the board on 4 September 2024 and signed on its behalf.

## **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**
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.
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 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.
**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.
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.
**Donated goods**
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
**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).
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 are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
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).
**Legacies**
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been
grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the
estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity
or have been met.
**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.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Support costs**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Volunteer help**
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.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.|Yes

|**2.4 ASSETS**
1000
**Intangible fixed assets**
**Heritage assets**
**Debtors**
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently,
they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
**Stocks and work in**
**progress**
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value
based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
They are valued at cost.
**Investments**
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
**Grants with performance**
**conditions**
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
**Grants payable without**
**performance conditions**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have
physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody
or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5
They are valued at cost.
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
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.
**2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES**
**Liability recognition**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
**Investment gains and**
**losses**
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph
10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19,
FRS102 SORP.
**Tangible fixed assets for**
**use by charity**
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.

compliance with regulation and good practice.
**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**

criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
They are valued at cost.
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
**Redundancy cost**
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.

**Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
