Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document
Para 1.17 The purpose of Chapel St Creative CIO, as set
out in the governing document, is to further or
benefit the residents of Penzance and the
neighbourhood, without distinction of sex,
sexual orientation, 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

1 of 13

facilities in the interests of social welfare for
recreation and leisure time occupation with the
objective of improving the conditions of life for
the residents.
In furtherance of these objects but not
otherwise, the trustees shall have power:
To establish or secure the establishment of a
community centre and to maintain or manage or
co-operate with any statutory authority in the
maintenance and management of such a centre
for activities promoted by the charity in
furtherance of the above objects.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.
Para 1.17
and 1.19
Securing the ownership of Centenary Hall,
Chapel St, Penzance TR18 4AW, a key initial
objective of the Charity, was achieved on 29
Feb 2024, 8 months into the reporting period.
Prior to the purchase the Charity was focussed
on project management activities including
negotiations with the seller and funders,
preparation of specifications for refurbishment
works and completion of due diligence activities
through professional advisors.
On completion of the purchase the emphasis
switched to delivery of refurbishment projects
and day-to-day operation of Centenary Hall.
The CIO also started developing project plans
for improvements to the facilities.
For the record, Centenary Hall, a Grade II listed
building, was registered as an ‘Asset of
Community Value’ under the Localism Act 2011
by Cornwall Council in 2022 following
nomination by Penzance Council in response to
a petition by community users of the Hall. The
registration acknowledged the Hall’s continuous
usage as a community venue over previous
decades. The Hall was purchased for the
purpose of community use in perpetuity. The
purchase was undertaken under the Right to
Bid provisions of the Localism Act 2011. The
CIO funded the purchase of Centenary Hall
from a Government Community Ownership
Fund grant (approx. 50%), Penzance Council
grant (approx. 25%) and public fundraising
(approx. 25%). The purchase price was
£300,000 plus £16,452 towards the cost of
separating utilities from the adjacent Methodist
Church. The Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF)
grant funding covered the cost of professional
fees associated with the purchase. The AHF
also grant funded development of project plans
for future improvements to Centenary Hall.

The refurbishment activities delivered during the period were: • Separation of gas and electricity services from the adjacent Church. • Urgent upgrades to electrical distribution boxes. • Restoration of first floor windows including specialist re-leading of damaged stain glass panes, • Repairs to the roof and re-pointing of stonework. • Energy efficiency improvements involving replacement old fluorescent light strips with high efficiency LED batons and new electric water heating. A seamless transfer of community usage was achieved on 29 Feb 2024. The CIO was responsible for operating Centenary Hall for the last four months of the reporting period (1 Mar – 30 Jun 24). Regular and ad hoc hire users contributed to successful operation of the Hall. Centenary Hall has hosted the following regular community activity providers during the reporting period: The Big Dance Company . The dance company delivers regular dance classes 4 days a week after school hours to approximately 200 young people between the ages of 3 and 25 years. The dance company also delivers wellbeing and fitness sessions for adults of all ages and abilities. Additional workshops throughout the year are delivered and run by guest teachers from elsewhere in the UK and overseas. The dance company attracted private sector sponsorship to improve access from low-income households. Ignite You CIC. Ignite You CIC provided regular, weekly, group and 1-1 dance and wellbeing activities to young people and adults with additional needs. Lunar Agile Learning CIC . Lunar Agile Learning CIC started delivering services two full days a week in November 2023. They serve children and teenagers. Lunar Agile Learning offers an alternative education provision for home-educated children & teenagers who need opportunities to socialize and learn in a school-like environment they trust. Most of the children are unable to attend mainstream school for a

3 of 13

variety of reasons including varying degrees
of neuro-divergency.
Sundance Community Dance Group.
Sundance provides community dance and
fitness opportunities for the over 50s age
group. They deliver a weekly session in
Centenary Hall.
Shallal. Shallal is a Cornwall-based arts
charity that promotes inclusive arts and
celebrates diversity, ability and community.
It delivered sessions in Centenary Hall
during the school holiday periods. It plans to
deliver a more regular service from the Hall
once a wheelchair accessible toilet is made
available. The CIO had an application
outstanding with the National Lottery for
funding of an accessible toilet and other
improvements at year end (Note: £19,495
approved in Nov 2024 - after the end of this
reporting period).
Little Fishes Toddler Group.The toddler
group operates one morning per week and
provides an affordable and safe space for
parents and their children to meet, learn and
play. The Group is run for by volunteers from
the adjacent Chapel Street Methodist
Church.
Ad Hoc Bookings. The CIO took ad hoc
booking from Minack Theatre performance
groups (rehearsals), a local orchestra
(rehearsals), Chapel Street Music
(rehearsals), local popular music group
rehearsals, detached youth work sessions
and tabletop sales.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit
Para 1.18 The trustees have given regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity Commission on public
benefit, referring to the charities purposes and
objects at regular meetings and ensuring that
the activities carried out at the community
centre are in line and in accordance to them, for
which the main objectives are to purchase and
maintain a building for the provision of a
community space. The trustees are satisfied
that these have been met.

Contribution made by
volunteers
Para 1.38 The CIO received valuable support from
volunteers over the reporting period.
Volunteers provided support with
bookkeeping/accounts, bid and report writing,
project management and labour in support of
refurbishment projects. This has been
estimated at 305 hrs with a notional value of
£5,215. See Financial Review for financial
evaluation of volunteer effort.
Volunteer support received by the CIO is only a
fraction of the volunteer support delivered in
Centenary Hall most of which goes to help
activity providers. The Big Dance Company
has its own charitable friends’ organization. The
CIO indirectly facilitates volunteer participation
by enabling the activity providers to deliver
community activities in Penzance in affordable
facilities.

d. Achievement of a seamless operational transition on change of ownership of Centenary Hall with no inconvenience to users of the Hall. e. Broadening of Hall usage and inclusivity through the services delivered by Lunar Agile Learning CIC (recruited by the CIO in advance of completion of the purchase of Centenary Hall). f. Increase in Hall usage by new activity providers. g. Increase is usage by The Big Dance Company following closure of the Falmouth outlet and removal of previous restrictions on Hall use on Sundays.

Activity providers using the Hall make a major contribution to the community. Activities allow participants to socialise, make new friends, improve wellbeing, improve fitness and learn new skills. Children involved in dancing classes learn the benefits of self-disciple and teamwork in learning skills leading to increased selfconfidence and self-esteem. Some activities provide a respite for parents and families. The Hall contributes to an overall improved quality of life for its users.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21 The 2023-24 reporting year was exceptional
because it included £279,933 in grant funding to
enable the purchase of Centenary Hall and the
completion of urgent repairs.
The CIO started the year flush (£67,900) with
the proceeds of crowd funding for the purchase
of Centenary Hall transferred to the newly
created CIO in the previous year.
The CIO ended the year as owners of
Centenary Hall (asset value £316,452) with
cash reserves of £5,351 and loan liability of
£26,531 term remaining 5 years 10 months).
The loan was raised from a previous donor at a
low interest rate (3%) to allow the CIO to match
fund grant funding from the Government (50%
match funding required).
The CIO’s turnover exceptionally exceeded
£250,000 requiring adoption of accruals
accounting and a statutory requirement for
Independent Examination. ) are summarized in

Centenary Hall. The CIO ended the year with a
cash balance of £5,351.

impact of monthly loan repayments falling due
in the next 12 months
The CIO’s net worth on 30 Jun 24 was
£295,315.
Whilst not part of the formal accounts, the CIO

The CIO’s long term financial objective is to
grow hire income through an increased
occupancy rate and a diversification of activities
delivered in the Hall. This financial objective is
aligned with the CIO’s charitable objective of
reaching a wider cross section of the local
community. Plans to create a performance
space in the Main Hall with pull down seating
for 100 people, stage lighting and sound are
under development aided during the reporting
period by AHF grant fundings.
The CIO is also looking to reduce energy costs
which are a major expense given the size of
Centenary Hall and its thermally inefficient
construction. Listed building consent for a
substantial solar photovoltaic installation with
battery storage is being applied for (listing
building consent approved after year end on 21
Mar 2025 with conditions).
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22 The CIO aims to maintain a general reserve
fund (unrestricted funds) equal to 3 months
operating costs or between £5000 - £7000. In
simple terms this means immediately available
cash at bank. This level of reserves allows for
variability in utility costs, the probability of
unplanned maintenance arisings, variability in
hire income and day-to-day ‘working capital’
needs.
The level of general (operating) reserve funds is
subject to future review by the Trustees as, at

9 of 13

year end, the CIO had less than four months
operating cost data given billing in arrears by
utility providers.
The general reserve is separate from any
earmarked reserve that Trustees might
establish to support a specific project.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Volunteer help
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.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
These are 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.
Donated goods
Contractual income and
performance related
grants
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).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
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
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.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
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 services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
Income from membership
subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.

2.4 ASSETS
250
Intangible fixed assets
Heritage assets
Settlement of insurance
claims
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
They are valued at cost.
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
Redundancy cost
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
Provisions for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
Basic financial
instruments
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have
physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody
or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5
They are valued at cost.
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Investment gains and
losses
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
Tangible fixed assets for
use by charity
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.
Governance and support
costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
They are valued at cost.
Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
Stocks and work in
progress
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value
based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently,
they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

Please note that Fair Value in this context is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowlegable and willing parties in an arm's length transaction. For traded securities, the fair value is the value of the security quoted on the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List or equivalent. For other assets where there is no market price on a traded market, it is the trustees' or valuers' best estimate of fair value.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

FOR: CHAPEL ST CREATIVE CIO

YEAR TO 30[TH] JUNE 2024

Independent Examiner’s Report. Chapel St Creative CIO. Year end 30[th] June 2024

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Chapel St Creative CIO.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Chapel St Creative CIO for the year ended 30[th ] June 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Chapel St Creative CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of Chapel St Creative CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

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 cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the 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.
