BLACKFRIARS ARTS CENTRE LIMITED
DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The directors who are trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
Blackfriars Arts Centre is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association (Company number 00702834). It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (Number 228391).
Directors and trustees
The directors of the charitable company (the charity) are its trustees for the purpose of charity law. The trustees are detailed on page 1.
Appointment of trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, additional trustees can be co-opted on the board when it sees fit.
Trustee induction and training
New trustees undergo an orientation day to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity.
Objects of the Charity
The charity’s objects and principal activity continues to be that of preserving and maintaining the Dominican Friary in Spain Lane, Boston, Lincolnshire as a cultural centre and to promote, maintain, improve and advance education particularly by the production of educational plays and the encouragement of the arts, including the arts of drama, mime, dance, singing and music, and to formulate, prepare and establish schemes.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Our charitable activities are mainly provided to the residents of Lincolnshire. We aim to provide an opportunity to enable children and adults to experience art and culture and to further our charitable purposes for the benefit of the public.
Organisation
The board continues to provide a wide selection of amateur and professional acts of such a nature that there will be a higher level of public interest in all of the services provided by the Company, and provide a reasonable return on its investment and some success has been measured in the results for this financial year – it is hoped to continue this into 2022.
The company has the support of many volunteers in the theatre and gives thanks for their support – without which the theatre would not survive. It is estimated that the value of this is £55,000.

DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 CONT.
Related parties
None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity and any expenses reimbursed to the trustees are detailed within the notes. Any connection between a trustee of the charity with a production company, contracted actor, performer or exhibitor must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.
Blackfriars Arts Centre Ltd owns the whole of the issued share capital of Blackfriars Club Ltd. This company’s principal activity continues to be that of licensed victuallers at the Blackfriars Arts Centre premises.
Blackfriars Club Ltd’s principal objects are to provide financial and such other forms of support as the directors think fit to Blackfriars Arts Centre Ltd. The company entered into a deed of covenant whereby all its distributable profits were paid to Blackfriars Arts Centre Ltd, and as such, no dividends were payable by that company. The deed of covenant now comes within the Gift Aid arrangements. During the year a loss of £4,848 was made by the Club and therefore no Gift Aid was paid to the Arts Centre (2020 - £10,836).
Development, activities and achievements this year
The trustees continue to find ways to secure the future of Blackfriars Art Centre Ltd. The management group is continuing to look at ways of providing funding without relying on grants from Boston Borough Council.
The interest free loan from members of the public raised revenue of £22,470, which is still outstanding.
Blackfriars Arts Centre focuses on concerts and stage performances, from both professional acts and amateur community groups. The programme achieves a mix to suit a range of public tastes, such as tribute acts, ballet, musicals, and opera. At Christmas each year there is a pantomime, which was well attended this year.
The work on the update, renew and replacing of items in the theatre continues to take place. Along with the completion of the new seating in August 2017, a new lift and kitchen facilities, which has been welcomed by our clientele, have been installed in previous years. The update will continue during 2020/21 to provide a more comfortable and accessible theatre for the future. This can only be achieved by the continuing support of all members and public through generous donations.
Future developments
As the Coronavirus pandemic continued throughout the year, the board endeavoured to safeguard the future of the charity by securing arts council funding to the value of £121,328. We had a variety of acts lined up for the coming year however, the Coronavirus outbreak has meant that acts have either had to be cancelled or rearranged. It is hoped that with the continued support of the public and the volunteers, Blackfriars Arts Centre will continue to attract top class acts and performances as it seeks to become one of best venues within the county.
The Shodfriars project had continued during this period, covered by these accounts, despite Covid with the project being successful in its application to the Towns Deal Fund of £2,100,000. The coffee shop was closed due to the Coronavirus outbreak, although did briefly reopen in August 2020.

DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 CONT.
Future developments cont.
Trading to date of the coffee shop and associated activities has been done as Blackfriars Arts Centre Ltd. This has been by way of a ring fenced account on the understanding that there is no financial risk to Blackfriars from these activities, for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 the net income over expenditure was £31,829. Since Shodfriars started in 2019 the overall position is a net income over expenditure of £34,111.
Reserves, financial position and risk management
The income and expenditure account shows a revenue profit for the year of £96,719 (2020 - £35,948 loss). This profit increased the charity funds to £329,251.
In order to continue to present a diverse programme and also to adequately remunerate our staff the trustees realise the need to seek additional revenue funding, and continually pursue policies to generate such funds.
-
The trustees monitor the progress and financial situation at their regular meetings. Within these meeting they: - review the risks the charity may face;
-
consider systems and procedures to mitigate these risks; and
-
consider procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should any of these risks materialise.
Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity
Details of movements in fixed assets are set out in note 8 to the accounts.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are required by company law to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the financial activities of the charity and of its financial position at the end of that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and with applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small Company Rules
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to small companies.
This report was approved by the board of trustees on 8th September 2021 and signed by their order.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company 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”).

-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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
-
