Statement of Recommended Prdctice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance
with the Financial Reporting Stsndard applicable in th¢ UK and Republi¢ of Ireland (FRS 102)
(effective l January 2019).
Objecdve8 and actlvltles of the charity
Objectives
To further or benefit the residents of Malton. and th¢ district of Ryedale. without distinction of se
sexual orienlation, race or of political. religious or other opinions by associating together the said
residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance
education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure tim¢
Cupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents:
To advance the Christian religion in Malton. and the distri¢t of Ryedale foT the benefit of the public
through the provision and maintenance of the Wesley Centre for use as a place of worship.
To advance the education of the public through the preservation and maintenance of the Grade JI*
listed Wesley Centre Malton building (fornierly known as Malton Methodist Church).
Public benefit
In setting objectives and planning for activities. the Trustees have given due consideration to general
guidance published by the Charity Commission rel&tin8 to Pllblic benefit, including the guidance
'Public benefit.. running a charity (PB2)'. Details of how the charity has Caled out its activilies for
public benefit are given in the achi¢v¢mcnts and p¢rfornJance section below.
Acbievements perfomanee
During the year, the third developrnental Phase of major works to restore and transfomi the Wesley
Centre, continued. This will facilitate much greater use of the large main auditorium space by the
wider community. including its partial re-purposing as a classical concert venue and for other
community purposes. The first element of this Phase commenced on site in November 2022. The
remit has been extensive, and not since its first opening in August 1811 has the building received so
mu¢h physical intervention
primarily to ensure that it is fit for purpose and is future-proofed for
generations to ¢om¢- moreov¢r that it is ¢apable of being used each day by the wider community.
In addition to roofing envelope works, exterior drainage and loft-space activiti¢s. the preliminary
works includcd thc rc¥noval of all the remaining ground floor fixcd pcws in the large main spa¢¢ (bar
two examples, which have sinee been restored and re-positioned at the sides of the main space, as a
lasting symbol of the buildin8s' herita8e)-
The first two years of these major works saw the installation of all new building services, hidden from
view beneath th¢ floor substrat¢ and other vertical voids. this included plWork, du¢tin8 and cabling
for new heating and ventilation systems, three-phase electrical power, audio visual systems, and
controls for lighting and datal Wi-fi. All the large stain-glass windows were meticulously restored, a
new eco-efficient heating and ventilation system installed. a new oak entrance lobby created. and a
ncw ftUre oak floor laid over the entire 200 square metre ground floor area. A new accessible WC
has been installed close to the main entrance as well as dedicated facilities for the Malton Free Fridge,
and for the new Community Café. The building has been re-decorated to a high standard throughout.
The national conservation oificer of the Methodist Church has remarked that the quality of the
restoration itself and of the transfomative works at the Wesley Centre. is arnong th¢ highest she h&s
seen.
In no small pa this is testament to the meticulous efforts and expertise expressed by the project
architects, Rogerson Limited.
Work on Phase 3 continued after the year-¢nd. with the majority of all these activities planned for
completion by late 2024. The programme of works however had to be slowed as some uncertainty
was created following the general ele¢tion in 2024. Two major grant prospects (in value of up to £1.8
million). both Government-related, were initially paused and sub.*quently became unavailable/
cancelled, respectively. This was a significant disappointment as these funds were planned to support
Phase 4. (the final phase). whi¢h will se¢ the re-instatement of a new three-storey annexe to the rear
of the east wall of the building (see below for further details).
Critically, the engineering issues associaied with the master plan called for these final works to
continue seamlessly from Phasc 3? given the significant structural nature of the capital development.
As a consequence, a decision was made in late 2024 to press ahead with the compl¢tion of Phas¢ 3.
This created significant pressures on finance- bringing forward certain items from Phase 4 to ensure
that the building could be partially re-opened and utilised as quickly as possible.
In particular, we are grateful to the continuing support of the Ryedale Methodist Circuit which has
assisted this challenge through the provision of a £150,000 soft loan and a short-tem additional cmsh
facility- The soft loan will be repaid to the Circuit by Year 3 of full operations of the Wesley Centre.
The charity estimates that the total cost impact of not being able to '5eaTnlessly' continue with Phas¢
4 as planned, amounts to approximately £220,000. Notwithstanding the effects of inflation over the
next 12 months, it is anticipated that a high prow)rtion of this sum will be able to be deducted from
the total planned cost of Phase 4.
After the year-end, enquiries and confirn)ed bookings for the available 'new' spaces are high from
many local community organisations and others, including as a rehearsal space for no less than four
local choirs. for a number of book launches, as well as venue hires for classical concerts and public
meetings. These b(x)ktngs came into effect from the beginning of September 2024, which included a
number of highly successful concerts inthe space during the Christmas period. The Meih(Klist Church
at the Wesley Centre resumed its Sunday morning s¢rYic¢s in the building from the beginning of
November.
In September 2024, th¢ Wesley Centre was designated as having'conference Status, by the Methodist
Church in Great Britain. This meant that for Ihe first tim¢. alcohol would be pemiitted to bc sold and
seryed at public events. enabling the Wesley Centre to be able to broaden its 0pe for communty
and commercial usage and to be able lo compete effectively with other regional establishments in the
mark¢ts in whid] it operdtes.
The Wesley Centre continued its successful trdck record of fundraising during the year with a number
of new grants received, most notably including a second major grdnt from Benefact TrnsL of
£IOO.000. To date. a total of Tnore than £2.2 million has been invested in delivering the scheme's
overall vision. The Wesl¢y Centre is most grateful to all its benefactors and grant making
organ15ations for their very generous support.
Plans for fulure periods
Intensive work also continued during the year on new fundraising initiatives and preparalions with the
project's architect and design team for the detailed plans associated with the fin&l element, Phase 4.
This comprises the reinstatement of the three-storey attached annexe to the rear of the main buildin8,
known as the'East Wing..
The new E&8t Wing will contsin a wide variety of ncw additional community spaces, together with
new cloakrooms and a professional events kitchen. Phase 4 will also include the reinstatement of a
large historic 3 manual 31 stop pipe organ which will be centrally positioned in this large spact, and,
in its own righl is an instrument able lo attract some of the most renowned national and internationat
perforniers to play in ¢onc¢rt. as well as supporting the classical concert programming in general.
With practical completion of Phase 3 to be made in summer 2025, all necessary perniissions,
architectural and sttuclural plans now already in place for the final phase. The final phase (Phas¢ 4)
has a build programme of approximately 40 weeks and following a re-t¢nder process of these works.
this work will commcllce on site as soon as funds pennit.
In summary
Over the past decade, Malton's Wesley Centre has largely b¢en transformed. As part of a focvss¢d
pro8rammc, three of four key phases of major capital works have now so far been successfully
undertaken to ensure that the Wesley Centre is well-positioned to benefit from the expansion of a
rapidly growing community. Malton was and remains today the commercial heart of southern
Ry¢d&le, where Methodism has had a deep-roofrd Presence for almost 215 years.
'New' foundations have been lllid for the Wesley Centre once again to be at the centre ofthis outreach
to the wider community in Maltonl Norton and the suffounding region. It is now well-placed to take
full advantage of both the scale and flexibility ofthe building itself, and io me¢tihe needs of its people.
In practical tenns, £2.2 million has so far bcen invested in the necessary physi¢al ¢hang¢s to the
building- future-proofing its new capabilities for futL]re generations.
and enduring partnerships have also been fostered with organisations such as the Malton Free
Fridge and other community organisations that now use the Wesley Centre on a regular basis. And
many thousands of peopl¢ now enter and leave the building in thc knowlcdgc that in tcrEns of
community andplace. there is a genuine welcome for all, regardless of who you are, and that we are
a hospitable meeting place in the heart of Malton.
The vision and ethos of the ¢haTity is straight fonvard, as indicated by our objects. We are making all
of our facilities available to other charities and community organisations, and wc do so affordably for
such organisations. We balance this objective with revenue generative initiatives such as the
Community Café, the Classical Concert Programming, and as host for a wide variety of other public
events. such as ¢onf¢rencing. and banqueting. This mix has been carefully desigtted to ensure financial
Sustainability for fvture generations.
At the time of writing, the Community Café is the final remaining major element of OUT Phase 3 capital
investmenL and this has required a significant amount of professional planning. not least to ensure
that it can stand-out and complete in a crowded fel eatery space in Malton and elsewhere in the
district. The Cafe kitchen and associ&ted ser¥eri¢s a compl¢x ¢l¢m¢nts and r¢pr¢s¢nt a total
investment of approximately £145,000. All such building elements have been completed, and major
items such as the kitchen extrnct system are also now already in situ. The Cafe and associated
elements are funded vla a Mix of lease finance, interest free equipment proviskon, and a cash injection
from the Wesley Centre.
The Community Café mlnS our top priority to complete and to open during September 2025, not
lea8t to provide a new and unique space for the entire community to use
enabling us to start
delivering the first of several high priority revenue generative initiatives that will ensure the
sustainability of the Wesley Centre as a wholc for thc long-tcrni.
Fin4ll¢ial review
. Going eoncern
After making appropriate enquiries and with the ongoing support of a soft loan from a Trustee and the
Ryedale Methodist Circuit, th¢ Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Forthis reason, they continue
to adopt the going concern basis in pr¢paring th¢ financial stat¢rn¢nts. Furthcr d¢tai15 r¢garding the
adoption of the going con¢¢rn basis w] be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
Prior to the acliviiies of the Wesley Centrc moving froni 'development mode, to a llY operational
position once the new facilities are complete. it is intended that a n¢w r¢s¢rv¢s policy will be adopted
for the chlty.
c. Results
The Charity's accounts show a surplus of £395,336 for the period of 31 August 2024 (2023= deficit of
£21,221) and total funds (all unrestricted) of £415,280 (2023: £19,944) as at the balance sheet date.
However. £536.401 of these funds are invested in fixed assets, 50 the balance sheet shows a net
defictency of assets at 31 August 2024 of £124.121.
Creditors due within one year include loans from TTust¢¢s totalling £67.764 and th¢ trust¢es hav¢
confimied that repayment of iheir balances will be postponed to the extenr that any repayment would
prejudice the payment of the charity's debts as they fall due.
A Memorandum of Understanding (Mou) beiween the charity and the Church was signed in
November 2020 setting out the relationship between the charity and the Church. Prior to this in
August 2020, the Chur¢h Council agr¢cd that th¢ Mou can ¢v¢ntually be transitioncd into a Icase on
all the premises. and this key point is reflected as such in the Mou. To this end. such a lease h&8
already been drafted, pending completion of the developmental works.
Struetureg governance and management
The Wesley Centre (Malton) is a registered charity, number 1181629, and is constituted as a

matters that remain core to the partnership relationship. As the charity is now transitioning to an
oper&tional phase, a number of new trustees with cxpcrt specialisms in key areas of op¢rations will be
sought.

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition **Grants and donations** criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
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
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. **Tax reclaims on** Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is **donations and gifts** treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or **performance related** services or met the performance related conditions. **grants** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be **Donated goods** exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
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 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.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

## **Malton Methodist Church**
The restoration of the Malton Methodist premises is being undertaken jointly by Malton Methodist Church (MMC) and The Wesley Centre (Malton). Project management is carried out by The Wesley Centre, which makes the payments to contractors and suppliers. Costs up to 31st August 2020 were funded through MMC. Following the inception of the Memorandum of Understanding between The Wesley Centre & MMC, as endorsed by the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes, certain costs are now being funded directly through The Wesley Centre.
£105,692 of the total debtors due within 1 year represent an amount due by the MMC but it is expected this debtor will be offset against future revenue payable to MMC.
Three (2023: Three) of the Wesley Centre's Trustees hold the position of Steward in MMC
## **Loans from trustees**
At 31 August 2023, the Wesley Centre's creditors included a balance of £34,919, with additional of £20,845 ommitted from the previous accounts in respect of a loan from Mr P Emberley, one of the trustees. During the year, Mr Emberley advanced a further £19,700 to the charity and £9,700 was repaid to him. The balance of £65,764 owed to Mr Emberley at 31 August 2024. No interest is payable on this loan and there is no fixed repayment date. The charity also holds a loan of £2,000 from another trustee, Mr R Lukey, which is included in the balance sheet under loans due within one year. Mr Emberley and Mr Lukey have confirmed that repayment of these balances will be postponed to the extent that any repayment would prejudice the payment of the charity's debts as they fall due.
