## **The Report of the Trustees for the Year to 31st December 2023**
## _**Risk management**_
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis which enable the charity to effectively manage and mitigate risk.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The charity's main purpose is to generate art project and community initiatives to support and develop residents who live in East Birmingham and Solihull. With this in mind the charity's main objectives and activities are as follows;
- 1) To advance the education of the public in the arts and crafts and to promote art, in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of a community arts centre and workshops, classes and art sessions and promoting artistic events and exhibitions.
- 2) In the interest of social welfare to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of the persons who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity, illness, physical or mental disability, poverty or severe social and economic circumstances, provided that nevertheless such facilities shall be available to members of the public at large.
- 3) The relief of financial hardship, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of, collection and redistribution of food to foodbbanks, advice and information and signposting to other local support groups.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCES**
In 2023 several of our longer term initiatives continued to thrive. Firstly Women of Yardley Unite (WOYU) celebrated its 5th year. One round of Birmingham City Council’s, Adult Social Care, Prevention and Community funding ended in September 2023. Crucially, AITY celebrated starting a new round of funding from the same source ensuring the longevity of the programme until at least 2026. Interestingly we inspired another group of women to set up Women of Hay Mills and are working to support this group.
Our 5 year project Building Community Together in partnership with Stockfield Community Association and Birmingham Playcare Network is now in year 4, we are now delivering both weekly and monthly activities in Acocks Green.
The cost of living crises, fuel bills and Birmingham City Council's financial emergency continues to have an impact and influence on our work. As we reposed to need in the area we have noticed that many residents are struggling with costs in many areas of their lives.
Much of our work continues to be influenced and guided by residents who live in Yardley Constituency but this year we have also started working in Solihull with support from Solihull MBC. We have been able to develop our Arts Cafe model with newly arrived residents settling in Shirley and Solihull from Hong Kong.

## **IN MEMORANDUM OF DR YEOW POON:**
At the end of 2023, Arts In The Yard's Chair of Trustees, Dr Yeow Poon, passed away.
We first met Yeow in 2018 and he soon became a member of our then Management Committee. In 2019 he became our Chair. From 2019-2023 he guided our organisation, encouraging and supporting us to become a registered charity, of which he was also our first Chair of Trustees.
of his warmth and sense of humour. He also knew our neighbourhoods well, residing in Stechford for many years. Yeow understood and shared our desire for equality, collaboration and social cohesion.
Arts In The Yard benefited not only from Yeow’s friendly character and kindness but also his brilliant mind. He had decades of experience guiding charitable organisations and was more than happy to volunteer his time to develop and grow Arts In The Yard. Behind the scenes Yeow was crucial in helping the charity develop to where we are today.
Yeow had a vast and varied career, including running his own organisation working for the public and voluntary sectors both in the UK and overseas. He was also an integral part of the Chinese Liberal Democrats, Chair of the Birmingham Chinese Community Centre and President of the England China Business Forum. His commitment to a just and fair society never waned. During Covid Yeow set up a new organisation, Campaign Against Racism Group, advocating for civil rights
Recently, Yeow had started collecting his thoughts and written work on this website: http://yeowpoon.com.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Arts In The Yard CIO**
I report on the accounts for the period ending 31st December 2023 set out in the following pages.
## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the independent examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees considered that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
- (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act ; or
- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- (3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities'' (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year to 31 December 2023**
## 1 **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Charities Act 2011 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustee. Some of these funds have been designated by the trustees for particular projects.
Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Going concern**
The trustee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the Trusts' ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year's accounts.
## **Reporting Currency**
The reporting currency is £ Sterling.
## **Creditors**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
