## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)** 

## **Organisation** 

The Trustees for Dynamic Youth Theatre (DYT) are as reported on page two.  New Trustees are appointed by existing Trustees and are provided with relevant information relating to their responsibilities as Trustees. 

## **Charity and Public Benefit** 

Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on Charity and Public Benefit and confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to it. They consider the information which follows in this annual report, about the charity’s aims, activities and achievements demonstrates the benefit to its beneficiaries, and through them to the public, that arise from those activities. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Charity regularly reviews its expenditure forecast to ensure that it is in a position to meet all its current and future commitments. 

## **Risk Assessment** 

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks to which the Charity may be exposed and believe that adequate systems are in place to meet such potential risks as the Trustees have identified. The Trustees continue to be vigilant and to keep processes under review. 

## **Staff Remuneration** 

No-one involved with the running of DYT receives any form of remuneration for their work. 

## **Review of the Past Year** 

We were delighted to stage two outstanding productions during the past year – A Christmas Carol at the Hanger Farm Arts Centre in January 2024, followed by Oliver! at the Rose Theatre in July 2024. Both shows were a great success and were thoroughly enjoyed by audiences and cast members alike. 

We were also delighted to recruit a number of new members during the year and, as a result, DYT’S membership numbers are slowly increasing towards their pre-pandemic level. However, the Trustees continued to control expenditure carefully during the year, to avoid incurring a deficit on the charity’s ongoing running costs. 

In overall terms, the income for the period was £12,545 and the expenditure was £11,035, resulting in a net surplus for the period of £1,510. The net assets of the Charity as at 31 August 2024 were £10,202. 

## **Future Plans** 

DYT’s next shows are Annie Jr. at the Hanger Farm Arts Centre in January 2025 and Little Mermaid at the Rose Theatre, Eastleigh in July 2025. 

The Trustees’ Report has been approved by the Board on 7 October 2024 and signed on their behalf by:

## **Notes to the accounts for the year to 31 August 2024** 

## **1. Basis of preparation** 

- 1.1. These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

- 1.2. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: 

   - the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014; 

   - and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); 

   - and with the Charities Act 2011. 

- 1.3. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **Income** 

## Recognition of income 

Income is 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. 

## 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). 

## 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. 

## Volunteer help 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. 

## Income from membership subscriptions 

Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies.

Liability recognition

## Creditors 

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

## **Assets**
