**BLACKFRIARS ARTS CENTRE LIMITED** 

## **DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The directors who are trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **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 2023. 

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 £60,000.

**BLACKFRIARS ARTS CENTRE LIMITED** 

## **DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 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 profit of £4,541 was made by the Club meaning Gift Aid of £1,545 was paid to the Arts Centre, (2021 – (£4,848) loss made therefore no Gift Aid). 

## **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 2021/22 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** 

The board of Blackfriars continues to navigate a path out into the post coronavirus age. Applying for available grant funding and exploring other projects and revenue streams to secure the future of Blackfriars Arts Centre. We have applied for the further financial support from the Arts Council, having been successful in our application for funding to replace the lighting and other technical improvements. This is to develop a stronger educational offering to local schools and to explore and establish stronger connections with all areas of our local community.

**BLACKFRIARS ARTS CENTRE LIMITED** 

## **DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 CONT.** 

## **Reserves, financial position and risk management** 

The income and expenditure account shows a revenue profit for the year of £58,294 (2021 - £96,719 profit). This profit increased the charity funds to £387,545. 

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 14th September 2022 and signed by their order.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BLACKFRIARS ARTS CENTRE LIMITED** 

I report on the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 16. 

## **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”). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year 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** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- 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 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

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.
