Prime Theatre (Registered number: 02163378)

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

As set out in the charity's governing document the charity's objectives are:

To promote, maintain, improve, and advance public education, appreciation and understanding of the arts, particularly by the formulation, preparation, establishment and production of educational plays, festivals and production.

The principal activity of the charity is a theatre company. The charity uses the medium of drama to educate young people about social issues which directly affect their lives.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The trustees consider that they have acted in the public benefit.

Prime Theatre advances education, understanding, inclusion and artistic skills development though the making of theatre. By specialising in theatre and theatre-making projects for children and young adults, Prime Theatre celebrates, inspires and challenges young people to secure the best possible future for us all. We give voice to a major and often-unheard section of our society and work to promote their health and happiness.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Prime had a transformational year in 23-24. It was the year we began a 3-year re-appointment to Arts Council England's National Portfolio with a hard-earned 135% uplift in funds. This increase in support was a testament to the impact we make with the young communities engaged and empowered through our programmes. Our excellence in artistry and reach is matched by the necessary strategic planning and financial management of trustees, staff and young volunteers. Prime is grateful for their collective vision, commitment and contribution to creative education.

Prime plays an important national role in youth theatre and youth voice, but we remain rooted and committed to the communities of Swindon. We know that with care, creativity & confidence our young people overcome Swindon's many economic and cultural challenges. It's a pleasure to serve them.

We worked again in a commissioning relationship with Swindon Borough Council's Children's Services to train, educate and mentor priority groups: Care Leavers, Looked After Children, Youth Justice groups, Disabled Young People and those Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). We're pleased to be in strategic partnership with the local authority when many other councils have withdrawn income for creative and cultural activities. Our work together makes a huge difference to the younger generations of our town, present and future.

This was our 5th year as a National Good Practice Centre for Arts Award qualifications. 1000+ young people enjoyed a series of developmental projects, 1-2-1 mentoring and Arts Award qualifications at all levels - from introductory level to university entry point. The ever-increasing partnerships we enter to deliver Arts Award benefit the diversity of young people, their interests, skills and lived experience.

Prime continues to deliver all its charitable objectives and spent this year planning an intended transformation into Prime Arts in 2024-5. We collectively interrogated and updated our vision, mission and values to reflect this evolution. We work towards a world in which young people have faith in themselves and their artistic contributions and those in power equally value them and their civic contribution.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The trustees are committed to building reserves that would enable the charity to fulfil its obligations, statutory and otherwise, in the event of a cessation of operations. At 31 March 2024 the trustees had designated funds of £75,000 to meet this objective. A designated fund of £7,556 has also been made for emergency replacement of equipment and programming contingency. Total unrestricted funds were £353,264 which includes £98,769 of tangible fixed assets. The amount of free reserves held (excluding restricted funds, designated funds and tangible fixed assets) are £171,939. These funds are in excess of our policy. The trustees acknowledge that with the proposed development of a new cultural quarter in Swindon the charity may need to move premises. These excess reserves will allow the charity to cover the financial costs of any move.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Organisational structure

Day to day management of the charity's affairs is delegate to the Management Team, comprising professional advisors and administrators.

Induction and training of new trustees

The charity provides an induction pack and appropriate training for new trustees.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

In satisfaction of this responsibility, the charity has prepared a Three Year Plan that identifies issues, many of them financial, which might impair the fulfilment of the charity's objectives, unless countered successfully. The Three Year Plan is reviewed annually.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Prime Theatre

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Prime Theatre ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

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 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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  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

  2. 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

  3. 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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 prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

There are no significant areas of judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty.

Going Concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charity has taken exemption from preparing a cash flow statement under the charities SORP (FRS 102) as the charity constitutes a small charity.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Stage and office equipment - 20% on straight line basis Motor vehicles - 20% on straight line basis

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
