TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
The Trustees present their final report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the six months from 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2024. The report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Trustees’ report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
a. Principal objects and activities
The objects for which the Charity was established, as defined by the Memorandum of Association, are to promote, maintain, improve and advance education, particularly by the teaching of dance and visual art and the encouragement of the arts including choreography and music.
Islington Arts Factory, founded in 1977, is based in Holloway, an area which suffers from significant deprivation, high unemployment, low levels of achievement at school and other problems of inner city life. It is the only multi-arts community centre in the London borough of Islington.
Achievements and performance
a. Going concern
The Charity has long been struggling with the poor state of the building, with leaking roofs and being impossible to heat effectively in winter. The landlord had no plans to improve the building structure, and the Charity could not fundraise with a tenancy at will, that meant the lease could be terminated at any time with no notice.
Given the poor state of the building and the hard work required to keep it functioning adequately at a level to meet increased costs of maintenance and electricity, the Trustees decided to cease activities at the end of the 2023 - 2024 academic year on 9 August 2024. As such these accounts are prepared on a closure basis, and not a going concern basis. They include the accrual of known closure costs.
b. Activities and performance
The main activities undertaken in relation to the purposes of the Charity as per its Memorandum and Articles of Association and in furtherance of the public benefit are as follows:
Having made the decision to cease the activities of the Charity on 9 August 2024, the 6 month period from 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2024 saw the continuation of activities over the Summer term. Closure of the Charity and Company is ongoing while accounts are finalised and waiting on receipt of the final debt from HMRC due to maternity pay reclaims.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
c. Staffing and self-employed workers
Staff numbers continued to be three during the six month period, with two subsequently being made redundant after the end of Summer term, with the Director of Centre being made redundant on the final closure of the Charity and Company.
Financial review
a. Financial review
The Charity’s activities in the six months continued as usual for the Summer term. Pro-rata income increased a little from the previous year, buoyed by loyal clients keen to make use of the characterful facilities while they could. Overall there was a small trading surplus made of £197 (year 2024: £7,673 deficit), before closure costs. Closure costs of wrapping up the business and paying redundancies are estimated as £76,829, using up unrestricted reserves leaving a balance of nil.
b. Reserves policy
The Directors have examined the Charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation and the reliability of income sources. The reserves policy was to hold reserves at a level to be able to close the charity in a well-managed way over a period of say six months. This would mean reserves would need to be at least around £80,000.
The level of unrestricted funds at 1 April 2024 was £76,632, and the trustees made the decision to cease activity given the downward turn of our reserves level, together with the inaction of our landlord to maintain the structure of the building, and their aspiration to charge a more commercial rent. The reserves are adequate to close the Charity and Company in an orderly manner, and settle remaining accounts including staff redundancy, leaving nil reserves.
c. Investment policy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the Charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are no funds held for long term investment. The policy of the Directors is to invest the amount that it has available in short-term bank deposits.
d. Public benefit
The Board confirms that it has complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, ‘Charities and Public Benefit’.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Charity is registered as a Charitable Company limited by guarantee and was set up under a Memorandum of Association on 19 October 1978, updated on 18 January 1980.

b. Directors
The members of the Board are the Directors of the Charity. Those who served during the period are:
Terry Slater, Chair – resigned 9 August 2024
Michael O’Keefe, Chair
Katherine Gardiner, Treasurer
Janet Fleming
c. Governance and Trustee appointment and recruitment
The affairs of the Charity are governed by the Board of Directors, who are also Trustees of the Charity, and who meet 3 to 4 times a year. The Board ensures that there is an appropriate strategic plan and that this is being carried out effectively. The day-to-day management of the Charity is delegated to staff through the Director of Centre. Board members are appointed following an open recruitment process ensuring that there is a balance of skills within the Board. Induction and training is carried out as necessary.
d. Risk management
The Directors regularly consider the risks to which the charity is exposed, and take necessary action to limit exposure and the impact of significant risks. The Board believe that appropriate structures and reserves are in place to minimise foreseeable risks.
Finally we would like to express a huge thank you to Elizabeth Lerpiniere as Director of Centre, and her staff, for running such a wonderfully vibrant and inspiring centre for art, dance and music. Their legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of countless children and adults who have been touched by the magic of Islington Arts Factory.
This report has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies’ exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Islington Arts Factory Limited ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the six months ended 30 September 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity (and 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 Charity 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 Charity'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
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 in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
1. General information
Islington Arts Factory Limited is a company limited by guarantee and is registered with the Charity Commission (Charity Registered Number 277021) and Registrar of Companies (Company Registration Number 01394985) in England and Wales.
In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.
The address of the registered office is given in the Charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed in the Directors Report.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) and the Companies Act 2006.
Islington Arts Factory Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity and rounded to the nearest pound.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise stated.
2.2 Going concern
The Trustees made the decision to close the Charity, given the poor state of the building and the hard work required to keep it functioning adequately at a level to meet increased costs of maintenance and electricity. The Charity’s activities ended at the end of the 2023-24 academic year on 9 August 2024.
As such these accounts are prepared on a closure basis, and not a going concern basis. They include the accrual of known closure costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
The Charity receives government grants in respect of furthering its charitable objectives. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the Charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the Charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
| Leasehold buildings | - 100% |
|---|---|
| Music equipment | - 25% |
| Office equipment | - 25% |
| Other equipment | - 33% |
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.10 Financial instruments
The Charity only holds basic Financial Instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Charity are as follows:
Debtors - trade and other debtors (including accrued income) are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 14. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors will be classified as financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 15. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure. Deferred income is not deemed to be financial liability, as in the cash settlement has already taken place and there is simply an obligation to deliver charitable services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
2.11 Staff benefits
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the period. Redundancy and termination costs are recognised as an expense immediately at the point the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee before normal retirement date.
2.12 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
-
Allocation of support costs
-
Depreciation rates for tangible fixed assets
