Starlight Arts (CIO)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES: 1[st] July 2023 – 30[th] June 2024

The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30[th] June 2024.

Reference and Administrative Details:

Charity Number: 1201332 Registered Address: 84 Lincoln Gardens, Scunthorpe, DN16 2ED

Directors and Trustees: The currently registered Trustees are: Laura-Anne Bassenger and Rachel Downs (sitting as first trustees). Chris Bassenger and Sylvimaree Westlake (as of 13 October 2023).

There must be at least three (3) charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees or appoint a new charity trustee. Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.

Objectives, Activities, Achievements and Performance:

The objectives of the CIO are:

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by working with the disabled, and their carers or family members, who are socially excluded on the grounds of their disability to relieve the needs of such people and assist them to integrate into society, in particular by providing opportunities to:

For the purpose of this clause ‘socially excluded’ means being excluded from society, or parts of society, due to disability. Disability means learning, physical, mental health, life limiting.

Financial income for this period came from contributions towards organised sessions and events, the community, sponsorships, grants, and donations.

The Board of Trustees have regular updates/meetings, and an annual AGM (which is the main source of future Charity planning).

Services were maintained in the following areas:

For the period July 2023 – June 2024:

Regular Sessions:

The charity provides weekly sessions held at the community centre. These include:

In addition to the weekly sessions, Starlight Arts contracts external specialist tutors to provide monthly groups including:

In this period Starlight arts also provided mentor training, mental health drop-in sessions and wellbeing days.

This equated to:

Plus…

Events, Trips and Residentials:

The charity organised the following events and trips for the members:

Fundraising and income:

News and information:

The charity facilitates social media page on Facebook. This platform is used for sharing information about the upcoming sessions and events and by the community to contact us. There is also a website used to keep the community up to date with news and events and to share achievements.

Stakeholders:

Review of Public Benefit:

In setting out the objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have carefully considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

Future Plans:

Starlight Arts continually strives to expand services to meet growing demand, in a planned and financially prudent way, ensuring all projects stand on a sound financial footing and that the Charity moves forward and grows, but does so responsibly.

Income/Expenditure:

It is the belief of the Charity that funds should be used to fulfil the charitable aims as available, and not to accrue a large unused credit which could otherwise be used to benefit the community we serve.

Investment powers and policy:

The CIO has power to do anything which is calculated to further its Objects or is conducive or incidental to doing so , as laid out in the Constitution.

Reserves policy:

The state of the economy and resulting downturn in donations received means sufficient reserves may need be held to ensure the future running of the charity. There is no policy to date in place dictating reserve amounts. The Trustees carefully monitor the finances to ensure adequate funding is available for the continuation of services and financial obligations.

Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document:

Starlight Arts is a registered charity (charity number 1201332), which achieved registered charity status on 12[th] December 2022.

The CIO is governed by Constitution of Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Foundation Structure).

Appointment of Trustees:

Trustees are appointed by the Trustees at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Charity’s Constitution. No external bodies have the right to appoint Trustees.

Trustee induction and training:

New Trustees are introduced to the operations of the organisation and are given information on the responsibilities of being a Trustee as well as copies of the Constitution. Training is provided to Trustee’s as required.

The board of Trustees meet regularly and administer the CIO. The charity has no employees. The Trustees are responsible for all decisions.

Trustees’ responsibilities require preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO, at the end of the financial year, and of its surplus or deficit for the financial year.

In doing so the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for maintaining accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity, taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
