Annual Retum for Charities Commission
The trustees meet at least monthlyto consider the business of the CIO.
From time to time the trustees consider inviting others to become trustees.
For the year 2024-2025 the CIO has:
Maintained a film Club through the C-Fylm scheme.
Planned to promote live theatre largely in association with Carn To Cove.
Completed the initial organisational tasks in preparation to run MayFest 2025.
The trustees intend that these activities will continue for 2025 -2026- and hopefully
continue to be a success appreciated by the communityl
Flnandal Review.
Reserves are held to enable activities to be continued for at least one further year if there is
zero income nor successful grants. Fortunately, we have been successful in obtaining grants
for MayFest 2025. We are grateful to the Arts Council England and FEAST for their continued
support and are delighted that Samworth Brothers have been generous in sponsoring the
event.
Trustees. responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and the financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards
(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accountin8 Prartice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year.
which give a true and fair Vbew of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and
expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial 5tatement5, the
trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them conststentlv;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities 50RP 2015 {FRS 102);
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to
any material departures disclosed and explained in thè financial statements:
prepare the financial statements on the going concem basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial positpon of the charity and enable them to
ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charitie5 Act 2011. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps
for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:
there is no relevant information of which the charttrfs independent examiner is
unaware: and
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves
aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent exarniner
is aware of that information.

Reserves Poli

CALLINGTON COMMUNITY ARTS should have unrestricted reserves of between thretr and slx-
months. runnin8 costs.
Revlew of the
ar and
ans for fvture
The past year has seen Callington Community Arts attempt to sustain its recovery from the
bleak days of the covid pandemic and its aftermath and I must admit that progress has been
slow, particularly in the field of live entertainment which we had previously promoted on a
regular basis
Confidence in attending activities in closed spaces has. it would seem, not been easy for the
general public to cope with and, although face masks are now a thing of the past and the
possibility of maintaining safe social distancing has been made available, audience numbers
have not recovered from prfrcovid times. As a consequence, we moved the film venue from
the main hall of Callington Town Hall to the more reasonably suited Council Chamber. This
reduced running costs and, in fact, resulted In a much cosier atmosphere in which to enjoy
films with other people.
During the past year we have shown "Oppenheimerf, "Poor Things", "Bob Marley: One
Love", "Past Lives". "Killers of the Flower Moon", The Holdovers-, Yhe Lobsterf" and "O
Brother, Where Art Thou". These have all been either winners or nominees for the 8AFTAs
or oscars or have had good reviews. and have covered a wide range of themes and genres
to cater for all taste5.
However, audience figures still did not make film shows financially viable, and we therefore
took the sad decision to take a three-month break whilst we assessed the situation.
Ouring our cinematic dark period we were fortunate to make the acquaintance of the new
committee running Callington Amateur Drama Society {CADS} who were keen to make
maximum use of their super premises in the Prim-Raf Theatre in the centre of Callington and
broaden the range of activities on offer. Discussions of a joint venture between the two
parties proved fruitful, with CADS offering use of their premises and Callington Community
Arts offering to finance the provision of a new screen and the necessary hardware to project
the films. Hard work and keen enthusiasm from the CADS sound and lighting Specialist
resulted in a much*nhanced environment and potential experience for Callington film
devotees. For this we are extremely grateful and we look forward to a successful c(
operative undertaking.
Our most recent films include"23 Walks" "About fime" and "leptember 5". With a dip in
numbers for the film clashin8 With the Easter break, numbers do seem to be healthier and
we remain positive about the future.
Live entertainment proved to be much more problematTC: few of the shows on offer
through Carn 2 Cove were deemed by us to be suitable for our local audience and those that
we did choose ended up not being right for the dates we could manage. We have recently
had success with an event in St Marfs Church where we promoted "An Audience with Harry
Glasson and Will Keatin￿. featuring music, poetry and anecdotes from two well-known
Cornish performers.

MayFest 2024 was deemed a great success and is now firmly placed in the town's social
calendar and has become the largest participative event in the year for Callington, bringing a
plethora of entertainment to the streets and other indoor and outdoor venues in Callington.
A full line-up of musicians and dancers provided much appreciated entertainment for the
local residents who were pleased once again to enjoy the freedom of meeting up with
friends and family at a tremendous outdoor event.
The workshops which agaln developed the M3yFester Musicians and the MayFester Singers
were enhanced on the day by the dance workshops in FlamenciF and in Belly-dancing and
the excitement of participating in a percussion workshop. These all provided a tremendous
opportunity to learn new skills, or renew an acquaintance with fonnerly held ones. and
were a huge boost to social interaction for the participants.
A new workshop this year has been in the field of circus skills and this has proven to be
exceptionally successful, especially amongst families with young children. We await further
developments.
A particularly positive part of this year was the successful application for grant funding from
the Cornwall Good Growth Fund. As a result of the hard work of our treasurer and the
dogged support of the Cornwall mentor allotted to us, we are now in possession of staging
and complementary sound and lighting which is now available for community use by local
groups. This will not only enhance existing events but will open up new and exciting
challenges for groups and a$￿xIatIOnS to mount new ventures for cornmunity consumption.
Throughout the year we have maintained contact with Cam to Cove through their menu
parties and are indebted to the support offered by Claire and Imogen. We are also grateful
for the continued support of the Callington Town Hall staff for the backing they offer when
circumstances arise, both as a box-office outlet and in their role in preparing the venue. The
supervision provided at the get4n and get-out of perfomiances and other wients is much
appreciated. A big thank you to them!
l am greatly indebted to my fellow trustees for the untiring work they have put in and the
support they have given me as we continue to rebuild. In spite of the challenges we face, we
all manage to keep a smile on our face and face the future with optimism.
To end on a positive note, we have had support from a new band of volunteers who have
contributed vastly to preparations for MayFest 25, each taking an artive role in developing
various streams of activities: thank you to Rachel, Dan and Phil for Foming on board and
being"a breath of fresh airti
l also look forward to collaborating further with CADS under Julie's stewardship and hope
that ideas for furtherjoint ventures will soon develop in abundance.
Our existence as a CIO, a Community Interest Organisation, continues to run seamlessly.
Thank you all once again for attending today and I look forward to your continued support.
