The need for rOb￿t fmancial managem¢nt is being driven by the increasing costs of overheads and direct expenditur¢ due to inflationary pr¢55ures and al￿v¢ all, the hikes in energy costs. Good COTporat¢ gov¢rnance 15 Vital if we are to remain Compliant with legislation, be financially stable, and continue to be trusted by the general public. We have a well-structured board of trustees with diverse skills and experiences that make infornied decisions in response to the variety of eh&llenge5, overs¢¢ risks and provide Strategic direction. This year we have engaged a new twslee with specific ski115 in marketing and social media with the alln of significantly Stren￿ening our visibility and growth. We are confident Ihat strengthening the board of trustees in this way will help us reach wider communities and increase income sustainably through new insight, clearer rn¢5saging, brand d¢v¢lopm¢nt and stronger campaigns. Th¢ fo¢u$ of our n¢w markcting and social media strategy is on people and ¢oinmunity, and the aim is to maintain and 8row our supporter base and audiences along with creating new opportunities for revenue 8rowth and sustoinability. Great importance is b¢ing given to using so¢ial media to our )dvantag¢. Th¢ Centr¢ is now on Trip Advisor for busin¢$s early analNics show we are competing well.

The n¢w Staff structur¢ h85 s¢ttl¢d into an effectivc r¢gim¢. Charitabl¢ a¢tiviti¢s are managed separ&t¢ly from ancillary and primary purpose trading activilies, and this ha5 broughi clarity to duties and responsibilities and has given a better understanding to everybody on how our new 5tralegic plan will be delivered. Throughout the year w¢ have a150 continued to develop, regularly review. and implement poli¢ie5 that are dernanded of a responsible charity. All the policie5 we now have in place ensure proper governance, 5&feguarding And risk mglnagement ond are made effective becouse we ensure people know about them, understand them, and apply them. Our 10 year strategi¢ plan has been reassessed and updated thi5 yw. Five new medium temi strategi¢ targets are now in place after an in depth strategic review and public consultation. Having a strategic plan auwents the Arts Centre's obligations under the Chariti¢$ A¢t 2011 and builds on its Arti¢les of A$80¢iation and Charitable Objectives. It also helps thc board of tN5t¢cs makc bcttcr, more con515tcnt dcci3ion5.

Our overriding aim through culture, support, in5pIration and ¢nt¢rt&inm¢nl is to mak¢ p¢opl¢ happy ond w¢ boliev¢ ¢hi$ remains powcrful and relevant in the current climate. A new recycling initiative started this year has proved invaluable to people wishin8 to start their journey into art at low expense. Artists donate paint. brnshes, art material$, frames eic. to ihe Centre and we pa88 Ort. at very low cosi to other artists. The r¢u5e and recycle shop is a popular addition. In line with our revised strategic plan w¢ have put in pla¢¢ a systematic maintenan¢e s¢h¢dul¢ to proteei our beautiful buildings. In th¢ Short tenn we are still faced with c05tly emergency repairs. but over time, with regular upkeep. we will extend thc life of our facilities. and thi5 will support our reputation. and allow better budgeting through planned. rather than reactive, spending.
