## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Rosehill Arts Trust is constituted as a company limited by guarantee.   Its objects, powers and other constitutional matters are set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

The governing body is the Board of Trustees, which meet not less than four times a year.   It retains full and effective control over the Company, is responsible for major strategic decisions and has ultimate responsibility for the conduct and financial stability of the organisation. 

The affairs of Rosehill Arts Trust are subject to monitoring and appraisal by Arts Council England (Rosehill is a National Portfolio Organisation).   The Board may be joined at its meetings by an officer of the Arts Council and a representative from Copeland Community Fund, which was a major funder of the building redevelopment, completed in March 2017, and remains a significant financial supporter.  The Board of Trustees, together with these non-voting members, monitors the work of the CEO and other officers, who conduct the day to day management of the Company.

## **ROSEHILL ARTS TRUST LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the Year ended 31st March 2022** 

One trustee resigned during 2021-2022 and three new appointments were made in September 2022 and one new appointment was made in December 2022, which are referenced in this report, although recruited outside of the actual financial reporting period. 

## **Appointment of Trustees** 

In accordance with the Articles of Association in effect during this financial year, the number of Trustees from time to time is not less than three. 

## **Induction of Trustees** 

New Trustees are familiarised with key statutory documents and other information about Rosehill Arts Trust, its activities and operations. In addition, they are given guidance, as necessary, on the responsibilities of directors of a company limited by guarantee.   They meet informally with the Chair, other Trustees and the CEO. 

## **Related Parties** 

The Trust has key relationships with Arts Council England, Copeland Community Fund, Sellafield Limited, Copeland Borough Council, Cumbria County Council and a number of trusts, foundations, corporates and individuals. 

## **Organisational Structure and Risk Management** 

The Trustees are responsible for major strategic decisions, in association with the CEO, with the operations of the theatre managed by the CEO, who is also a trustee and reports directly to the Board.  There are clearly set limits on capital expenditure that can be authorised by the CEO without reference to the Chair initially and subsequently to the Board.  Management accounts are presented to Board meetings. 

The Board of Trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and this is reviewed at the regular meetings. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **Objects** 

The objects of the Trust are set out in detail in the Memorandum of Association.   Essentially, they are to present a wide range of artistic productions that are of educational and cultural value to the community and to manage and maintain appropriate premises at Rosehill Theatre. 

## **Mission Statement** 

Following a successful programme of creative action research during 2021-2022, Rosehill’s mission and purpose were revisited to reflect the needs of our diverse communities and bring together community building, creative development and business resilience. 

Our Vision is to bring about positive and lasting cultural and social impact in West Cumbria, where everyone has access to quality arts and cultural experiences. 

Our Mission is to promote well-being, enjoyment and connection through socially responsive, communityled, thought-provoking and place-inspired cultural experiences and development opportunities. 

Our core aims are: 

• to develop stronger and connected communities through collaborative cultural initiatives which respond to local needs and support community wellbeing 

• to collaborate with the community to improve access to a full range of cultural opportunities wherever people live, with a strong emphasis on family 

to develop stronger cultural partnerships and support the local cultural infrastructure through building skills and capacity in the cultural sector and growing its economic impact.

## **ROSEHILL ARTS TRUST LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the Year ended 31st March 2022** 

Rosehill is a cultural hub: a crucial anchor in our community and a vital asset for West Cumbria. We passionately believe culture is key to building creative, resilient and hopeful communities, and our impact extends far beyond our building. 

Our Grade II listed theatre has been bringing world-class cultural and creative events and experiences to our geographically remote population for over 60 years. We offer a rich and varied programme of music, theatre, comedy, film, spoken word, dedicated activities for children and young people, craft workshops, creative wellness and other participatory activities, and more, with quality at the heart of all we do. 

Rosehill is the only Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) in Copeland, as well as a Priority Place for both ACE and Levelling Up for Culture. West Cumbria has a high proportion of low cultural engagement at 59% (England 33%) and within a five-mile radius of Rosehill lie the most deprived wards in Cumbria, which are in the 10% most deprived in England. Our focus has been on creating cultural value with and for these communities. 

## **Summary of Activities** 

The majority of the financial year covered by this report saw Rosehill continue to be affected by the Covid19 pandemic. Impacts included full or partial closures during the first half of the financial year, restricted activities and capacity around social distancing for much of the year, and Covid-19 cancellations by touring shows and audiences, a challenge which has remained into the 2022-2023 financial year. While numbers have been slowly growing again, these remain below pre-Covid levels and subject to peaks and troughs, with some audiences still reluctant to book while Covid-19 is a concern. 

Rosehill’s journey out of pandemic restrictions was challenging but, thanks to ACE’s Emergency and Culture Recovery funds and others, has also been an opportunity for further evolution. We found new ways to support our community through lockdowns, developed new and accessible forms such as outdoor performances and streaming, rescheduled cancelled performances to help sustain artists and companies, and supported our audiences as they returned to live events. 

Organisationally, we negotiated the bedding in of new leadership, adapted our business model to support greater resilience, and conducted an Organisational Review – supported by an ACE Project Grant – to enhance governance and increase representation, with EDI a key focus. 

Thanks to a Weston Culture Fund grant from Garfield Weston Foundation, in 2022 we completed a yearlong programme of engagement, experimentation and discovery, developing new partnerships and accelerating creative connection with our community. 

Collaboration and partnerships are core to our work, both within the arts and with other sectors. Working with a variety of community partners, during 2021-2022 we also ran a series of Creative Wellness pilots, presented inaugural family festivals and hosted exhibitions of artwork, among others. 

Rosehill is a key partner in the new West Cumbria Creative People and Places (CPP) programme, on the advisory group for the new West Cumbria Cultural Strategy, and an active member of Cumbria Arts & Culture Network. 

Our place-based arts collaborators include Prism Arts, Mahogany Opera, Kirkgate Arts, Florence Arts Centre, Carnegie Theatre and Theatre by the Lake, and our cross-sector partners include Copeland Wellness Collective, Copeland Work & Skills Partnership, and Copeland Council’s Social Inclusion and Social Prescribing teams. 

The support of key funders, stakeholders, partners and associates remains key to Rosehill’s success, for which the trustees are grateful. They also acknowledge the work of the CEO, the team of staff and volunteers, as well as a group of professional associates whose contribution, experience, work and commitment is essential. 

The Chair, John Clarke, is grateful to all fellow trustees for their considerable commitment and contribution in making complex and demanding ambitions feasible, particularly through such ongoing challenging circumstances.

## **ROSEHILL ARTS TRUST LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the Year ended 31st March 2022** 

## **Income** 

Income from a diverse range of sources is key to Rosehill’s success, particularly with limited potential from ticket income due to Rosehill’s small capacity at just over 200 seats. 

In addition to an annual NPO grant from Arts Council England of £63.5k from 2018 to 2023 (the latter being an extension year, granted due to Covid), a variety of additional income towards our activities has been secured from trusts and foundations, corporates and individuals. Also during 2022, Rosehill successfully applied for increased NPO funding from ACE of just over £208k a year, which will begin in April 2023 and run through to March 2026. 

During Covid, the trustees took the difficult decision to close The Green Room restaurant. It is hoped to revisit this decision in the future, but the national economic situation needs to improve dramatically before the trustees can reconsider. 

Instead, towards the end of 2021-2022 we negotiated two tenancies. One was for Time To Share, a CIC established in April 2020 to ensure all children and families in Copeland have access to specialist therapeutic bereavement support for as long as they need it. The second tenancy was for Truly Scrumptious, a micro company run by a husband-and-wife team that has taken over Rosehill’s kitchen for their local catering business and is working with the Rosehill staff team to re-introduce pre-order food options to certain events. This has brought guaranteed rental income during the year as well as additional F&B income alongside our scheduled programme of events. 

Private hires and corporate events are proving increasingly popular and have resulted in a rise in commercial income opportunities, which the staff team are now looking to develop even further. 

The potential with our mostly modern and accessible building is significant but with that comes challenges in delivering the income necessary with which to finance the staffing structure and services. It is this structure and these services which create our increasing artistic, cultural and participatory work, customerfocused services, and – through all of this – significant social impact and value. 

## **Creative Activity** 

Programming and participatory activities – both in and out of our building – are at the centre of Rosehill’s purpose, aiming to deliver at a high quality, whatever the category and type of event. 

The community we serve is broad and diverse. Rosehill’s role is to understand, meet and develop these needs through engagement and an approach that sets out to demystify, to access new audiences, to include and involve. 

The Garfield Weston grant enabled us to appoint an experienced specialist in creative community engagement to lead a year-long period of research and development, encompassing: 

- engagement with underserved communities local to Rosehill 

- building relationships with partners, both within the arts and across sectors, and locally and nationally 

- strengthening our stable of artists and other freelancers 

We have tested new and different ways of working, developing cultural initiatives which foster community connectivity and wellbeing, and drawing out new collaborations, ideas, talents and stories to inform and enrich our programme and to reflect and serve our communities. 

To capture outcomes and build on this work, in early 2022 we commissioned an independent consultant to evaluate the programme and help us develop an impact strategy to allow us to: 

- have a stronger understanding about local communities, their needs, interests, talents, and stories to seed our work and inform our strategies 

- continually develop ways to support local communities 

- explore ways that we can co-create/co-produce future strategy with communities and artists 



**2e** 

## **ROSEHILL ARTS TRUST LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the Year ended 31st March 2022** 

In addition to this focused, socially engaged work, we continually work to improve access, from introducing free family festivals as well as Pay What You Decide and Relaxed events, to using our building more openly and flexibly, with diverse groups now attending for informal gatherings and formal meetings, from weekly choir sessions to council launch events. 

As result of our recent work, 29% of our audience is now drawn from the four least-engaged groups; 60% of our catchment population is in these four segments, compared to 17% nationally and 26% regionally. 

Our core programme continues to offer a range of genres for all ages, including cabaret, comedy, drama, film (from Hollywood blockbusters and arthouse films to live screenings from international opera houses and ballet companies), music of many sorts (classical, folk, jazz, tribute and more), and community theatre, all of which are points of reference in preparing a balanced, diversified and relevant programme. 

In setting out to entertain, we aim to also present work that challenges perceptions of arts and culture and increases an awareness and deeper understanding of contemporary and historic social issues. 

In an area of low cultural engagement, we nurture confidence, social connection and self-expression. We deliver skills development and training and make an important contribution to the local economy. 

More details of our programme and participatory work are available by emailing info@rosehilltheatre.co.uk 

## **Financial review** 

The charity’s statement of financial activities shows a net surplus of income over expenditure of £91,313. 

The charity’s wholly owned trading subsidiary, Rosehill Theatre Enterprises Limited, suffered a net loss before taxation during the year.  With effect from 1 April 2020 the trustees of Rosehill Arts Trust Limited transferred the subsidiary’s activities into the charity as provided by the amended Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

## **Reserves policy and going concern** 

The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure.  The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to ensure that support and governance costs are covered. 

The balance held as unrestricted funds at 31[st] March 2022 was £2,004,369, of which £79,881 were free reserves in deficit after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets of £2,084,250. This situation is largely attributable to an operating deficit and the trustees are endeavouring to reverse this position by restoring the reserves to a nil balance in future years. 

The trustees have reviewed the circumstances of Rosehill Arts Trust Limited and anticipate that adequate resources continue to be available to fund the activities of the charity for the foreseeable future.  The trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern. 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of Rosehill Arts Trust Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 



**2f** 

## **ROSEHILL ARTS TRUST LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the Year ended 31st March 2022** 

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those accounts, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts 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. 

## **Accountants** 

Lamont Pridmore have agreed to offer themselves for reappointment as independent examiners and a resolution to reappoint them will be proposed at the annual general meeting. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. 

Approved by the Board of Trustees on 14[th] December 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROSEHILL ARTS TRUST LIMITED For the Year ended 31st March 2022** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **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 the Trust’s accounts 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 the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 in respect of the Company 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 concerning 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 preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and 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.

## **ROSEHILL ARTS TRUST LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year ended 31st March 2022** 

## **1 General information** 

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales.  The address of the registered office is Rosehill Theatre, Moresby, Whitehaven, Cumbria, CA28 6SE. 

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Rosehill Arts Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.  Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.  These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Voluntary income including donations, legacies and grants receivable are accounted for when there is entitlement to the funds.  This income is only deferred when the grant or donation is specified for a future accounting period or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has entitlement. 

Income from activities for generating funds is recognised as earned under normal accounting trading practice. 

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

Charitable activities income is recognised as earned. This income is deferred when admission fees and similar income is received in advance of the related performance. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred and is stated net of recoverable VAT. 

Fundraising trading costs include the direct cost of sales for the related trading income. 

Charitable activities expenditure includes the costs associated with staging performances and related activities and includes the direct costs and the support costs relating to these activities. 

Governance costs are those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity, which comprises the accounts, audit and legal fees. 

## **Funds** 

The charitable company's funds consist of unrestricted, designated and restricted amounts. The charitable company may use unrestricted amounts at its discretion. Designated funds represent unrestricted funds which have been designated for a specific purpose.
