The trustees, who are also Directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The community arts charity is established to deliver quality and diverse creative workshops, projects, events and opportunities for a wide variety of people, groups and organisations in Belper, Amber Valley and mid-Derbyshire, for creative wellbeing and predominantly for those at risk of social exclusion. 

## **SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO THESE OBJECTS** 

In line with the Charity Commissions' guidance on public benefit, our planned work discussed at our Committee meetings ensures that we delivered a varied program of activities for a wide section of the community.  We have provided inclusive and engaging art provision across the region for a wide range of ages and sections of the population. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**

Our Belper Town Council (BTC) Service Level Agreement was renewed for one year and has enabled us to deliver free workshops, projects and events throughout Belper this year, with a wide range of people/groups/organisations. 

As part of our 40[th] birthday year, we ran a Big Give match-funding initiative, along with an art auction that raised money for core funding. 

In addition to these grants, we were successful in receiving a ‘Derbyshire Mind’ grant for a project, plus Derbyshire Community Foundation for an intern to work on cataloguing our archive. 

We were commissioned/paid to run projects by other organisations. 

We have run some ticketed events as another source of income and have secured a donation from a local Trust.

## **Governing document** 

Fleet Arts is based at 59a Kings Street, Belper, Derbyshire which is the company's registered office and the principal address of the charity. Fleet Arts is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital (company registration No. 1888950) and Registered Charity (No. 516342).

## **Trustee selection methods** 

The recruitment of Trustees is reviewed periodically and at least on an annual basis. Potential candidates are invited by existing Committee members to join the Council of Management. A trial period is available prior to any formal appointment being made and an induction pack covering the Trustee’s role and responsibilities is provided to each new recruit. 

## **Policy on reserves and risk management** 

The final balance shows an operating unrestricted surplus on the year of £3,034 which will increase our reserves. We operate a Reserves Policy, which is calculated including: 

   - Timing of income and receipts 

   - Securing revenue grant awards on an annual basis 

   - Sickness cover for staff 

- Downscaling and/or winding up costs. 

- Unrestricted reserves held at 31[st] March 2024 are £72,791. 

Reserves have and will continue to be monitored by the Management Committee, undertaking a review of the major risks to the financial sustainability of the organisation annually and monitoring the ongoing the risks quarterly. This monitoring includes both core (unrestricted) funding and project (restricted) funding. It therefore takes into account the monitoring of income derived from arts project funding to cover project expenditure included within core costs, but incurred directly on projects. Systems have been established to mitigate the risks.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Fleet Arts** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 8 to 18 . 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and the examiner** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act),  and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

- . 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- 1 Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 

- have not been met; or 

- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

included at market value of gifts received and in assets acquired. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category.
