## **Our Big Picture Limited** 

## **Trustees' Report** 

As Chair of Trustees for Our Big Picture Ltd, I am delighted to present this year’s report, covering the period 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. It has been a year of hard work, dedication and significant progress and a year in which the team has laid the strongest possible foundations for the future of our organisation and the communities we serve. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## _**Objects and aims**_ 

Our Charity’s purposes are set out in the Objects contained in the Articles of Association for a Charitable Company: The Advancement of Arts, Culture and Heritage. 

Founded in June 2022, Our Big Picture Ltd is committed to advancing Arts, Culture, and Heritage. The charity believes in ensuring everyone has access to art and heritage in their lives, especially in historically underserved communities like North East Lincolnshire. Established in 2016 as a social enterprise, Our Big Picture offers engagement opportunities for local residents, families, and children, focusing on visual arts and heritage. Key funding from Arts Council England, National Lottery Heritage Fund, and other arts bodies enables the charity to provide these programmes free of charge. 

## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_ 

The most important achievement of this year has been the successful fundraising campaign for the renovation of our permanent home: the beautiful listed building on Bethlehem Street, right in the heart of Grimsby. Led with energy and vision by our Director, Paula Denton, this campaign has secured vital support from Arts Council England, the Garfield Weston Foundation, the Pilgrim Trust, the Foyle Foundation and North East Lincolnshire Council through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. This collective backing is both a recognition of our track record and a vote of confidence in our future. 

These funds will not only enable the restoration of an important heritage asset but will also ensure that Our Big Picture can create an accessible, welcoming and inspiring venue for the people of Grimsby and North East Lincolnshire. We are proud that our fundraising strategy has embedded sustainability from the outset, addressing environmental responsibility, celebrating heritage and developing innovative income generation models, including the creation of an Airbnb space, which will help secure long-term financial resilience for the charity. 

Alongside this, we have remained committed to delivering a high-quality, community-focused artistic programme, thanks to the efforts of our programming team. Several highlights stand out this year: 

• The Imagine Club: sessions for children aged 7–11, sparking curiosity, creativity and joy in the next generation. 

• The Imaginearium: a vibrant series of projects co-created with young people aged 11–19, supporting their creativity, skills and confidence. 

• RE-Imagine: a programme of sessions for adults, offering accessible and welcoming opportunities to learn and develop basic art skills. 

Through these and other exhibitions, workshops and participatory events, we have engaged people of all ages and backgrounds in the arts and heritage of our region. These activities, alongside our fundraising success, have kept our mission alive during a transitional year and demonstrated the energy, creativity, and passion that characterise Our Big Picture. 

We also recognise that we have faced challenges. Capacity has been a particular issue as demand has grown, but we are responding by introducing new processes and procedures to use our time efficiently, and by working with excellent freelance specialists in areas such as monitoring and evaluation, as well as finance. Audience-building in a region of historically low engagement continues to require careful focus. We are proud to have offered a wide programme with a high proportion of free activities, ensuring accessibility, while also beginning to develop income from paid-for workshops. Looking forward, our approach will increasingly be participation-led, listening to our community, co-creating programmes and ensuring that people of all ages, from the youngest to the oldest, shape what we do.

## **Trustees' Report** 

Looking ahead, we are filled with optimism. The coming year will see the transformation of our new home and the expansion of our programmes in ways that will bring even greater opportunities for participation, creativity and pride in place. None of this would be possible without the extraordinary commitment of our Director and team, the creativity of our artists, the generosity of our funders and partners, and the support of our local communities.c 

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to this remarkable year. Together, we are shaping a vibrant, sustainable and inspiring future for the people of Grimsby and North East Lincolnshire. 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

The acquisition and renovation of a Grade II listed building in a deprived area of Grimsby has strengthened Our Big Picture’s impact, providing stability for expanding arts and heritage programmes while fostering inclusivity. Recognised as a priority area for funding, North East Lincolnshire benefits from the charity's varied range of projects that aim to support typically underserved communities, including neurodiverse individuals, LGBTQ+ groups, disabled artists and young refugees, enhancing community well-being. The charity’s work aligns with the Charities Act 2011, fulfilling public benefit obligations as recognised by the Charity Commission. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Financial review** 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

Our Big Picture’s restricted funds (Grant funding) falls outside of the definition of reserves. Reserves are that part of Our Big Pictures unrestricted funds which is freely available to spend on any of the Charity’s purposes. The Our Big Picture’s Trustees have approved the need for reserves to cover unexpected eventualities not identified in the business planning. The agreed target amount of these reserves would cover:- 

## 1. Redundancy costs £8,900 as at 1st September 2023 

2. 3 months running costs in the event of an unexpected eventuality in any one year based upon the Financial Business plan in that year = £20,900 

3. Repair and renewals (based on present and potential future post capital funding) £800 per month = £10,200 

Total reserves to hold £40,000. 

As at the year end free reserves were £58,641. However total reserves are £317,905, of which £166,470 can only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets. Restricted funds total £258,010. 

## **Trustees and officers** 

The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows: 

Trustees: Jonathan Goolden (resigned 15 April 2025) 

Dominic Mason Karen Watson 

Chairman: David Mcleavy 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Nature of governing document**_ 

The charity is a charitable company and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association.

## **Our Big Picture Limited** 

## **Trustees' Report** 

## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ 

Trustees are recruited based on expertise required by the charity and the enthusiasm for the charitable objectives of the charity. 

## _**Induction and training of trustees**_ 

Induction and training is informal given the size of the organisation. 

## _**Organisational structure**_ 

On becoming a Charity we deliberately kept the Trustee Board small and relevant with people drawn from the Arts & Culture and Heritage sectors. Two of the current Social Enterprise’s Directors became Trustees whilst we sought two others who could add value to our future work who are involved in the Arts & Cultural Sector. Zoom meetings are frequent as the Trustees are actively involved sharing their experience and support for the CEO and staff proving to be a valuable asset in the running and future direction of the Charity in fulfilling its aims and objectives. 

## **Small companies provision statement** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006. 

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 27 October 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

## **Our Big Picture Limited** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Our Big Picture Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Our Big Picture Limited as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

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.

## **Our Big Picture Limited** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Where assets and liabilities are donated to the charity, the transferred assets are measured at fair value and recognised in the balance sheet at the point when the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the charity. An equal amount of income is recognised to the net assets received. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. 

## **Irrecoverable VAT** 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Intangible assets** 

Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. They are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

## **Amortisation** 

Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class Amortisation method and rate** Website development 20% straight line 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Land & Buildings 2% Straight Line Office Equipment 33% Straight Line 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised at the transaction price, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised at the transaction price. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
