SECTION B: STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

1

GOVERNING DOCUMENT

NORTH WALSHAM ATRIUM SOCIABLE COMMUNITY CINEMA adopted a Charity Commission Model Constitution for a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, whose only voting members are its trustees, on 7 March 2021. There were no subsequent changes to the governing document.

TRUSTEE SELECTION METHODS

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Charity Commission Model Constitution.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING

The trustees meet quarterly. They have policies governing safeguarding vulnerable beneficiaries and volunteer management. A health and safety policy is not required.

SECTION C: OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

OBJECTIVES

The Charity Commission entered the charity onto the Register of Charities with the Registered Charity Number 1196310 on 28 October 2021 with charitable objects to:

Promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of North Walsham and the surrounding area the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life for the said inhabitants.

MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO THESE OBJECTS

In fulfilment of its charitable objects, the charity offered an affordable and diverse cinema programme at The Atrium in North Walsham with films every month between January and December 2022.

SECTION D: ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity now registered as NORTH WALSHAM ATRIUM SOCIABLE COMMUNITY CINEMA CIO has been operating as an unincorporated community group since April 2017 when a local charity, Arts North Norfolk, dissolved and donated its remaining assets to local charities with similar purposes. One of the successful activities of Arts North Norfolk prior to its dissolution had been its cinema programme at The Atrium in North Walsham. A group of volunteers came forward to take on the organisation of this area of work but, at that time, they had insufficient human resources to take on the responsibility of setting up a formally incorporated organisation. Due to this, Arts North Norfolk donated a portion of its assets to a local charity, Cromer and Sheringham Art and Literary Festival (which subsequently became COAST Arts in February 2020) on the proviso that they were used to support the development and delivery of a cinema programme and other leisure and recreational activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of North Walsham and its surrounding area.

2

The funds were managed by COAST Arts, through its own bank account, and reported on in the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements of COAST Arts. The activities of the group were governed by the constitution and trustees of COAST Arts until NORTH WALSHAM ATRIUM SOCIABLE COMMUNITY CINEMA CIO had completed its charity registration and opened its own charity bank account in February 2022.

Between January and December 2022, and in fulfilment of its charitable objects, NORTH WALSHAM ATRIUM SOCIABLE COMMUNITY CINEMA offered an affordable and diverse cinema programme at The Atrium in North Walsham with films every month. A total of 16 films were screened:

It was important to the charity, after a 21-month break since March 2020 due to COVID-19, to restart its programme with the same ticket prices as before. This was especially true of the matinees which had become important social events for many older and isolated people in the area.

With many people still feeling anxious about socialising post COVID-19, the trustees were expecting small audience numbers in 2022, particularly at the beginning of the year. As it turned out, this concern was unwarranted. The programme attracted a total audience of 1,461 people, an average of 91 per screening , compared to an average of 89 in 2019, when the last full programme was delivered.

Other highlights in the year were a sell-out screening of the film Elvis and two grants from North Walsham Community Shop: the first to install a new Blu-ray DVD system at The Atrium, and the second to replace the old advertising poster boards and to place monthly adverts in the local free paper, the North Walsham Times.

SECTION E: FINANCIAL REVIEW

As stated, the charity had been operating since April 2017 but as an unincorporated community group. The figures for 2020-2021 in the financial statements set out on pages 6-10, represent 24 months of very little activity due to COVID-19, when the charity’s funds were administered by COAST Arts. A comparison to these figures with those of this financial year would therefore serve no purpose. On 1 January 2022, the balance of funds held by COAST Arts, after 5 years activity, was £5,430.18 in the bank and £100 cash. Between January and March, some transactions were handled through the COAST Arts bank account, and some through the charity’s own new bank account, which opened with Lloyds Bank on 21 February 2022. At this time, all remaining funds, £4,659.81 in the COAST Arts bank account and £100 cash, were transferred to the NORTH WALSHAM ATRIUM SOCIABLE COMMUNITY CINEMA.

Total income in 2022 was £10,364. Of this:

3

Total expenditure in 2022 was £9,696. The allocations for unrestricted funds were:

The allocations for restricted funds were:

The net result is that the charitable activities (namely the cinema programme) made a small loss of £443 but the charity shows a small surplus of £667 overall once restricted grants are taken into consideration.

GOING CONCERN

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

SECTION F: DECLARATION

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
