The trustees (who are also directors of UK Astronomy Limited for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006) present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2023.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objective of UK Astronomy Limited (“UK Astronomy”, “the charitable company” or “we”) is the advancement of education, community development and science: specifically, to educate and assist amateur and beginner astronomers in their discovery of astronomy and collective contribution to knowledge. The charitable company benefits any amateur astronomer without prejudice to age, ability, or experience, provided they are located within the United Kingdom.
UK Astronomy, in furtherance of this overriding purpose, engages in activities which encourage group support and self-help, and which:
1. Encourage amateur astronomers in the UK to help one another to learn and enjoy any aspect of astronomy.
2. Facilitate online forums where members can, in the context of astronomy:
- seek assistance with technical, local, or other matters
- promote local group activities and events
- share information and photographs
- share learning and refer to astronomy news and other current points of interest
- engage in lively debate
3. Convene events to develop understanding in the subject
4. Provide support for other organisations’ engagement in astronomy, with a strong focus on introductory and other workshops as well as information for beginners
5. Contribute to the body of astronomical knowledge.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and believe that the achievements and performance of the past year detailed below demonstrate that the Charity’s activities provide benefit to the public.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (incorporating the directors’ report) continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**
**Royal Recognition for Our Founder:** Our founder, Ross Hockham, received a prestigious honour by being nominated as a Coronation Champion by their Royal Highnesses in conjunction with the Royal Voluntary Service. This recognition led to an exclusive invitation to a Coronation Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, a testament to his dedication and contribution to our cause.
**Young Volunteer's Literary Contribution:** Aston Smith, one of our young volunteers, launched his second book titled "Things About Space." In a heartwarming gesture, he donated £2 per book from the sale of the first 500 books to support UK astronomy. Additionally, First Light Optics matched his donation with a further £2 for each book they sold, magnifying the impact of his philanthropic endeavour.
**Funeral Donations in Memory of Supporters:** This year, we received our first-ever funeral donations in memory of Les Hughes and David Robey. These donations signify the enduring legacy of their support for our charity.
**National Magazine Feature:** We were honoured to be approached by the prestigious national magazine, "Astronomy Now," to contribute a 3-page spread, showcasing our work and mission to a wider audience. This recognition is a testament to our growing influence in the field.
## **Future Plans & Priorities**
As we look ahead to the future, our charity is dedicated to building upon our recent achievements and expanding our impact. To achieve our objectives, our trustees will continue to review our activities and income-generating events, ensuring they have a wide appeal to all our supporters while closely monitoring the return on investment of such activities.
Here are some of our specific plans for the coming year:
**Expanding the Planetarium Service:** Our commitment to the cosmos will shine brightly as we continue the rollout of our planetarium service. Our aim is to ensure it reaches an even wider audience and enriches their understanding of the universe.
**Continuing Outreach and Stargazing Evenings:** We stand steadfast in our commitment to outreach. Stargazing evenings and community engagement will remain at the forefront of our activities, fostering a deeper appreciation for astronomy among enthusiasts of all ages.
**Annual Photo Competition:** To encourage creativity and participation, we are refreshing our photo competition by making it an annual event, with a relaunch scheduled for November. This initiative provides a platform for individuals to share their passion for the cosmos through the art of photography.
**10-Year Anniversary in 2024:** An exciting milestone awaits as we plan a grand celebration for our 10-year anniversary in 2024. This special occasion will be an opportunity to reflect on our journey, celebrate our achievements, and look forward to a future filled with even more astronomical wonders and community engagement.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (incorporating the directors’ report) continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**
## **Financial review**
The results for the year ended 31 July 2023 are provided in the Statement of Financial Activities together with the Balance Sheet which provides details of the assets and liabilities.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows that UK Astronomy Limited had another successful year, generating £46,036 total income (2022: £15,296), and incurring £22,235 total expenses (2022: £12,489). Expenses are primarily driven by depreciation on fixed assets (including, in 2023, a full year’s charge on the new planetarium). The net increase in funds of £23,801, (2022: increase £2,807) brings total funds at 31 July 2023 to £78,276 (2022: £54,475).
Thanks are given to the following funders:
- Arnold Clark Community Fund
- Buckinghamshire Council Community Boards: Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire & Villages, Haddenham & Waddesdon, Northwest Chilterns, Wendover & Villages and Winslow
- • Foyle Foundation
- Heart of Bucks
- Mk Community Foundation
- Rothschild Foundation
- The Barrett Foundation
- William Hardings Charity
No members of the Company take any remuneration from the Company.
At 31 July 2023 UK Astronomy held cash at bank and in hand of £13,262 (2022: £23,633).
## **Reserve policy**
Unrestricted funds are those funds that the charity can use for any activity that meets its charitable objects. Freely available reserves are funds which are unrestricted and not invested or committed to spend on operational assets. In this context free reserves therefore exclude the value of fixed assets in the accounts. The trustees monitor the level of reserves which they believe to be appropriate to ensure UK Astronomy’s ability to meet its objectives over the medium and long term.
At 31 July 2023 the Charity held freely available reserves of £14,746). Equivalent of 9 Months expenditure for the forthcoming year (2022: £10,053 – 9 Months)
Restricted funds are unexpended funds that have been donated to the Charity with specific conditions attached to their use. At 31 July 2023 these funds totalled £1,109 restricted towards the running of the mobile observatory (2022: £15,378)
The Trustees have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis having taken into account future income and expenditure and they consider this is an appropriate basis.
## **Principal risks and uncertainties**
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces.
5
**UK ASTRONOMY LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (incorporating the directors’ report) continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**
The main risk categories relevant to UK Astronomy are:
- **Financial Risk:** The charity continues to face challenges related to financial stability and sustainability. In the current economic climate, with the ongoing increase in the cost of living, there are heightened financial risks associated with maintaining and growing our operations.
- **Reputational Risk:** With the expansion of our services, maintaining a positive reputation is crucial. Negative publicity or issues related to our operations could impact public trust and support.
- **Volunteer Shortage Risk:** One of the significant risks we face this year is the lack of volunteers. The success of our charity heavily relies on the dedication and support of volunteers. A shortage in volunteers could strain our resources and limit our ability to deliver our services effectively.
- **External Environment Risk:** The broader external environment, including economic conditions, government policies, and changes in public sentiment, can influence our ability to operate effectively and secure funding.
- **Legal and Regulatory Risk:** This year, legal and regulatory risks encompass areas such as GDPR compliance, health and safety regulations, and evolving fundraising standards. Staying compliant with these regulations is vital to avoid legal consequences and maintain public trust.
The major risk to the Charity this year remains the continuing challenge of raising income, exacerbated by the current economic downturn and the cost-of-living crisis. Furthermore, the lack of volunteers and increase in demand for our services require strategic planning and mitigation measures. The Trustees are committed to monitoring and managing these risks to safeguard the charity's mission and its ability to serve the community effectively.
## **Structure, governance, and management**
## **Governance**
UK Astronomy Limited is a private company limited by guarantee which was incorporated in the UK on 13 July 2016 and commenced charitable activities immediately. It is recognised by HMRC as a charity for tax purposes in line with Paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and was registered with the charity commission on 29 June 2020.
The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
## **Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee**
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of five years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.
The board may select new trustees by any means it deems appropriate, which may include the introduction of personal contacts, by advertising, or by direct approach to individuals. All applicants to become trustees are interviewed by a selection panel of at least 2 trustees including the Chair.

**UK ASTRONOMY LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (incorporating the directors’ report) continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**

## **Trustee Induction and Training**
New Trustees receive an induction pack including a copy of the Charity Commission’s Guide "The Essential Trustee", the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the latest financial statements, and key policy documents.
## **Statement of trustees’ responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also directors of UK Astronomy Limited for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments 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 the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s web site.
## **Small company provisions**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small charitable companies.
