It is governed by the Memorandum of Association dated 26 June 1980 and the Articles of Association revised on 10 December 2019.

Kirklees Theatre Trust

Trustees’ Annual Report (Including Directors Report and Strategic Report)

Year Ended 31 March 2021

Structure, governance and management (continued)

The Board is responsible for the overall policy and scrutiny of the financial performance of the organisation. The Board ensures the accountability to key funders and stakeholders and is responsible for the appointment of the Chief Executive.

The day to day management of the company is delegated by the Board to the Chief Executive, overseeing the senior management team of General Manager, Head of Finance, Head of Marketing, Joint Heads of Participation, Head of Technical and Facilities and Head of Visitor Experience .

The pay of the key management personnel is reviewed annually by the Board and increased if required. The Trust has been committed to an annual Professional Development Review for all members of staff which sits alongside but independently of any pay increases. A full pay review was undertaken by the Chief Executive and Head of Finance which, following approval by Trustees, was implemented from 1 April 2020 based in part on benchmarking against pay levels at other regional theatres of a similar size.

Objectives and Activities

We are the only theatre serving communities in Kirklees, which covers nearly 160 sq miles. We are responsible for the employment of more than 50 full, part-time and casual members of staff, and we provide volunteering opportunities for over 80 members of the local community, totalling just under 10,000 hours in 2019-20.

The objects for which Kirklees Theatre Trust is established are to promote, maintain, improve and advance education by encouraging and promoting the arts of drama, dance improvisation, mime, film, video, singing and music. The Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit has been used for reference when compiling this report and in planning future developments and activities.

Following a comprehensive review with staff, volunteers, trustees and funding stakeholders, our organisational vision has now been reviewed. This refreshed vision, implemented from 1 April 2020, is as follows:

Why are we here?

We’re here to do our community proud.

We’re here to share exciting and entertaining stories. We’re here to build a stronger sense of community in Kirklees. We’re here to encourage creativity, to nurture confidence, and to develop talent.

What are we aiming for?

We want to be the creative heart of Huddersfield.

What makes us tick?

We are friendly and welcoming. We are accessible, inclusive and diverse. We are collaborative. We are locally rooted with national ambition. We are brave and unafraid of taking risks.

Strategic Report – Achievements and Performance

As we prepared to enter the financial year 2020-21, we were reflecting on a year of unprecedented change and ambition. In 2019-20, under new leadership and celebrating our 25th year, we saw a 5% increase in attendance across the year, with 72,477 people coming to see something at the theatre, of which 13,267 have been new bookers. We developed our artistic programme, presenting 7 Yorkshire Premieres, 4 world premieres, and 63 performances by 8 incredible local amateur companies, and over 4,100 people participated in creative sessions that we delivered across Kirklees.

Our approved budget and indicative programme for 2020-21 should have seen us reaching 31 March 2021 with a surplus of £16k, allowing us to strengthen our free reserves, which stood at £58k on 1 April 2020. Instead, on Tuesday 17 March 2020, we closed our doors as the live entertainment sector fell victim to the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic. We therefore started the new financial year operating in completely unforeseen circumstances, responding as best as possible to ensure the continued viability of the organisation.

The entirety of the financial year 2020-21 has been framed by our response to the pandemic, and it is a response that has shown the very best of our staff, volunteers and local community. As of 17 March 2020 we were in a position to honour our payroll for two months before becoming insolvent. At the time of writing we are now in the most robust financial position we have ever been in, our profile has been enhanced nationally and internationally like never before, and we have continued to focus on our responsibilities within Huddersfield and Kirklees as an exciting, safe and creative community space; all of this whilst also protecting our full, part time and casual members of staff. Not one member of staff has lost their job as a result of the pandemic, and we have ensured that all of our 40-strong team had their furlough payments topped up to 100% when we were making use of the scheme. We have been able to achieve this not through going in to hibernation but instead by fighting our way out of the situation we found ourselves in – we have not stopped at any point along the way, instead being completely determined to weather the storm.

Since the beginning of the pandemic we have been at the forefront of digital innovation within the sector. Within two weeks of closing our doors we had created LBTV, a completely free to access online platform which was one of the first of its kind within the theatre community. We filled the platform with newly commissioned and created workshops, masterclasses, storytelling sessions and behind the scenes content. LBTV was live for three months and in that time over 20,000 people accessed content or took part in an activity. We were also one of the first theatres in the country to start to offer participatory activities online for young people with a digital Arts Award.

In January 2021 we returned to LBTV to respond to the most recent national lockdown, creating an entire month's worth of free-to-access content to promote positive mental and physical health, working with Company Chameleon, local artists and Netflix Chef's Table-featured Asma Khan to offer workshops, physical warm-ups, sing-alongs and recipes for people to access for every day of the month.

The main thrust of our digital work however has been in creating digital productions. Up until 31 March 2021 we took over £320,000 in total at the box office – split between us, our co-producers and our partner venues across the UK – as well as attracting audiences from over 12,000 households in over 70 countries around the world, all whilst providing paid work for over 100 freelance practitioners and artists as well as over 30 actors. We were also thrilled to be able to work with the likes of Stephen Fry, Joanna Lumley, Derek Jacobi, Alfred Enoch, Sharon D Clarke, Russell Tovey and Celia Imrie. We received over 50 five- and four-star reviews, we were twice been named as New York Times Critic’s Pick and our ‘game changer’ (The Telegraph) production of ‘What a Carve Up!’ was picked in The Guardian’s Top 10 Theatre of 2020 and in The Telegraph’s Top 50 Cultural Events of 2020.

– Strategic Report Achievements and Performance (continued)

As a hub for contemporary dance in Yorkshire we also commissioned Northern Ballet, Studio Wayne McGregor and Gary Clarke Company to create a world premiere triple bill choreographed for and filmed on location at the theatre during lockdown. The Guardian ran a list of Best Theatre to Enjoy at Home throughout the pandemic – we had at least one entry every week and as many as three entries in some weeks, beating both the National Theatre and RSC.

We are more than our digital programme though. On the first day that pubs and restaurants were allowed to open, we created Summer in the Courtyard - we built a stage in our Courtyard space and programmed live music and events alongside food and drink to provide a safe space for people to gather and enjoy each other's company. Initially online but then live, we also produced a regular cabaret show - 'Live from the LBT' - to raise funds for the theatre whilst also providing a stage for emerging artists to perform. We produced a large-scale community production online, in which over 40 members of the local community took part, led by Gyles Brandreth, and we created an adventure box – ‘Charlotte Holmes’ – that hundreds of children and their families have enjoyed across the country.

Obviously our cross-arts live programme suffered catastrophically as a result of the pandemic but we were able to reschedule over 70% of affected work, and although Kirklees was operating under the highest possible restrictions at every point across the year, whenever we were able to open the building, we did, focusing both on our Courtyard space but also the main house wherever possible. We were also delighted to make our West End debut with a live semi-staged rehearsed reading of ‘The Understudy’ following its digital production earlier in the year – across two nights in early December 2020 over 1,000 people came to see the production at the Palace Theatre in the West End.

We have been extremely fortunate to receive an incredible level of financial support over the course of the year, which has allowed us not just to keep going but also to keep creating exciting work for our audiences. We have received grants from DCMS through ACE as part of the Emergency Response Fund and then successive Cultural Recovery Fund funding rounds which have allowed us to create work, cover salary and utility costs.

We received a substantial grant from the Weston Culture Fund will allowed us to creative digital and live work as well as supporting the development of our on-site operations. We would like to thank Kirklees Council, Arts Council England and the Weston Culture Fund for their support over the last year, as well as all those who donated so much to help us keep going. We are aware that without this support we simply would not have got through the year or be emerging from the pandemic in such a strong position.

Since 31 March 2021 we have been continuing to navigate the gradually diminishing effects of the pandemic on our operations, and at the time of writing we are open with a full autumn season of work, looking ahead to delivering our annual pantomime following an enforced break (which is performing incredibly strongly at the box office) before an exciting and packed Spring season in 2022.

Trustee Induction and Training

All Trustees are given a complete welcome pack including information on the Organisational Plan, information of the Trust’s work and achievements, copies of the Articles of Association, key organisational policies, the Charity Commission’s ‘The Essential Trustee: What You Need To Know’ and a skills and contact audit. All Trustees are also invited to meet the Chief Executive and members of the SMT, and to have a tour of the building.

Trustees’ Annual Report (Including Directors Report and Strategic Report)

Year Ended 31 March 2021

Risk Management

Many Heads of Departments at the Lawrence Batley Theatre have less than three-years’ service and so the organisation lacks some management experience, but regular reporting and Trustee interaction with the organisation is in place to mitigate this risk.

Board governance and decision-making is managed through several key documented processes which are reviewed by Board members and further scrutinised by the Finance Sub Committee. These documents and processes including the Financial Authorities, Business Continuity Plan, Profit and Loss breakdown and quarterly management accounts are tailored to the needs of the organisation, and the risks it is exposed to. Creative Scene also had an individual risk register and monitoring process, but at the time of writing the organisation has novated and is now a separate entity. Additional ongoing processes and actions to mitigate risk are detailed in the Organisational Plan. Monitoring and evaluation takes place across the organisation to inform programme, project and service development. Throughout the pandemic decision-making for day-today issues was delegated to the Finance Committee, who met with the Chief Executive on a regular basis to address risks as and when they arose.

Financial sustainability continues to be a risk for both the charity and its subsidiary but it should be noted that the organisation leaves the financial year 2020-21 in a more robust financial position that at any point in its history, and at the time of writing that position has been further strengthened following further successful grant applications and stronger than anticipated box office sales. That said, the Trustees and Executive remain in regular contact with Kirklees Council to secure their ongoing financial support, and the Trustees and SMT continue to focus on ways of increasing earned and contributed income.

The Trust’s principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors and trade debtors. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds to finance the Trust’s operations. Due to the nature of the financial instruments there is no exposure to price risk. The approach to managing other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is as follows:

Outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, non-financial risks arising from fire, health and safety of artists and audiences, management of performing rights and food hygiene have also been identified. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular awareness training for staff working in these operational areas.

The charity had at the year end a designated reserves fund of £202,495 (2020: £55,495) and restricted funds of £298,356 (2020: £24,852), which represent the unspent balances on specific grants at the year end.

The general unrestricted and designated property funds represent the value of assets used in the delivery of the charity’s purpose.

Reserves policy

The Trustees aspire to retain three months’ operating costs in a cash reserve , being approximately £275,000.

Total funds are £3,294,721 (2020: £2,958,933). However these include £2,797,517 (2020: £2,892,153) which can only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets which are all committed to the delivery of the trusts purpose.

Trustees’ responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also Directors of Kirklees Theatre Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report (including the Strategic Report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members and trustees of Kirklees Theatre Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Kirklees Theatre Trust (the parent charitable company) and its subsidiary (the group) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities including the Consolidated Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Consolidated and the Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated and the Parent Charitable Company Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including FRS 102 ‘‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s or parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Kirklees Theatre Trust

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members and trustees of Kirklees Theatre Trust

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

11

Kirklees Theatre Trust

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members and trustees of Kirklees Theatre Trust

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 7, the Trustees (who are also the Directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed under the Companies Act 2006 and Section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with this act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit is conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the group and parent charitable company considered the risk of acts by Management and the Trustees which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We made enquiries of the Trustees to obtain further understanding of risks of non-compliance.

We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included, but were not limited to:

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.

12

Kirklees Theatre Trust

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members and trustees of Kirklees Theatre Trust

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the charitable company’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. . Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and its Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Kirklees Theatre Trust

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Year Ended 31 March 2021

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) General information and basis of preparation

Kirklees Theatre Trust is a registered charitable company in the United Kingdom. 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 Trustees report.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary Reedmonte Limited on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Income and Expenditure Account for the charity has not been presented because the Trust has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 24 of the SORP (FRS 102).

The charity has availed itself of Paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 1 of The Large & Medium Companies and Groups (Accounts and Directors’ Report) Regulations 2008 and adopted the Companies Act formats to reflect the special nature of the charity’s activities.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

(b) Funds

Unrestricted funds 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.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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 cost 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.

(c) Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

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.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Income recognition (continued)

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

Income from trading activities includes gross income generated by 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.

Net income from the sale of ice creams and programmes etc is included as income raised from charitable activities.

The charity receives grants in respect of its charitable activities. Income from grants whether ‘capital’ or ‘income’ grants is 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 received in advance of a theatrical performance or provision of other specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met (see note 18).

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

Other income includes income such as gains on disposals of tangible fixed assets.

(d) Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

(e) Support costs allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises overheads and other overheads have been allocated pro rata to staff cost basis.

Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

The analysis of these costs is included in note 7.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(f) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Leasehold improvements 50 years Fixtures and fittings 20 to 25 years Equipment 5 to 12 years

(g) Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

(h) Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.

(i) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

(j) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.

(k) Leases

Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

(l) Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The charity contributes to a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees, the assets of which are held separately from those of the charity. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.

Termination payments are accounted for in the period in which they are agreed by all parties.

(m) Tax

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(n) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trust’s business activities together with the factors likely to affect its future performance and development are detailed in the Trustees’ Report. It is the view of the Trustees that the Trust is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. This is evidenced in the financial statements, cash flow and liquidity position as stated in this Trustees’ report. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
