Objectives and Activities of the Charity

A summary of the objects of the charity as set out in its governing document. Objectives

The objectives of the charity are:

Executive Summary 2023/2024

This was the first year of the new NPO agreement and the aim was to deliver on the ACE activity plan using the core team and freelance staff within the resources available allowing for the ongoing impact of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis. The continuing SLA agreement with Plymouth City Council provides essential funding supporting delivery of activity under our ReBels programme.

A four year funding programme with the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation supports the development of our Community Engagement work and the delivery of cultural activity in the many different communities of Plymouth. This also allowed the fulltime recruitment of the Community Engagement Lead (CEL) in September 2023.

Barbican’s core team have worked hard to allow the Barbican Theatre, Plymouth to not only thrive, but refine its activity, its journey forward, business model and approach to talent development work. It is to the credit of the core team that the majority of the targets for 2023-24 were exceeded. The ReBels Manager (RM) and the CEL were really successful in developing workshops and activity in schools and youth centres.

It is clear that the company is going to have to operate with a smaller core team until it can get its business model on to a more sustainable financial footing. It is also essential that the building makes a far more significant financial contribution to the Company than it has been doing. The initial plan was to test this between September 2023 and March 2024 with a more commercial approach to programming the Auditorium including the programming of more Musical activity. However, this has not proved to be as successful as hoped due to the nature of the acts programmed. In terms of the music the initial approach to the programming coupled with high technical costs has made achieving the returns required challenging.

Rent-a-Role Drama Service (Otherwise known as Barbican Theatre)

The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024

In partnership with the National Marine Park and the Devon Wildlife Trust the Company achieved £59,750 of funding from Esmee Fairbairn for the River Plym project. This is a pilot project working with 30 communities along the Plym to see if there is interest in developing a wider project with the River Plym as a citizen. We are leading on this project with the Community Engagement Lead acting as project manager. The project runs from January to August 2024.

In November 2023 the Chief Executive & Artistic Director gave in her notice. Her last working day was 11 January 2024 and she left the Company’s employ on 29 February 2024. It was decided not to undertake a like for like replacement due to budget pressures. The opportunity was also taken to employ 2 consultants to undertake a review of the current operation and make recommendations as to the way forward. Claire Honey was appointed as Development Consultant and Laura Horton as Artistic Consultant.

The Development Consultant identified that the remaining core team is very capable and that the company was not in a financial position to recruit a CEO/AD. It was recommended that a flat organisational structure be adopted with some changes to job titles to communicate what post holders are responsible for to all stakeholders. This recommendation has been accepted.

A lot of time has also been dedicated to improving Barbican Theatre's data collection systems and streamlining reporting processes whilst ensuring they are in the format required by funders.

Artistic direction and strategy will be developed by the Executive Producer (Youth & Education) and the Executive Producer (Community & Partnership). The recently developed Artistic Advisory Board will also be used to sound out plans and advise on Artistic direction.

There are now 5 remaining Trustees. Consideration will be given in early 2025 to a Trustee recruitment campaign. There has been discussion of Board members being allocated a portfolio of activity in line with skills and interests. This will be further developed during 2024-25.

Achievements and Performance

2023/2024 Year in Review

ReBels Talent Development

Our ReBels programme, for those aged 12-25, is shaped directly by our community using our agile, and modular training model. Four years of non-siloed youth co-creation has resulted in new music producers and sound engineers, female technical managers, audiobook writers, projection mapped ghost story performers, LGBTQIA+ comedians, rehearsal directors, teenage choreographers fusing dance styles and exciting film makers.

ReBels Music

The ReBels Music strand continued to thrive and grow. With the young people being given 6 well supported performance opportunities on the B-bar stage (capacity 80) between April 2023 and March 2024.

ReBels Young Company

The ReBels Young Company (RYC) was created to give 16 – 25 year old people the paid chance to be mentored in creating their own touring show. This provides an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to explore establishing a career in the Creative Industries.

This provided 10 weeks training, 10 weeks of devising and creative world building and 10 weeks as a paid company touring a show in the summer of 2024.

The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024

ReBels numbers 2023/24

Community Engagement

In January 2024 Adult classes were started for the first time and ran across the term until March. Attendances were encouraging and feedback from participants was very positive.

Plymouth Undokai

This international collaboration of two weekends of games was staged in November 2023 at Plymouth Life Centre. A conference was held at the University of Plymouth. Over 500 local family members, sports enthusiasts and university academics participated. The age range of participants was from 5 – 75 years old.

With Flying Colours Schools Project

The final outcomes of the commissions working with College Road Primary School and Sir John Hunt Secondary School were delivered in summer 2023.

Rent-a-Role Drama Service (Otherwise known as Barbican Theatre)

The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024

Financial Review

Turnover for the year ended 31 March 2024 was £414,410 (2023 : £489,516) and expenditure was £479,825 (2023 : £571,880) leading to a deficit of £65,415 compared to a deficit of £82,364 last year.

In the region of £25,000 was spent on improved external damp proofing and upgrading the staff/artists kitchen. Grant accounted for 71% of turnover with earned and contributed income equalling 29%. This shows the crucial importance of grant income in ensuring the survival of the company in the current economic climate. Core grant will be needed to underwrite activity while the company embeds the new business model and starts to address the balance between grant and earned and contributed income over a 3 to 5 year period.

Reserves

Due to financial pressures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Barbican Theatre has increasingly had to draw on its reserves. Thus, only very limited reserves have been maintained to pursue its objectives.

Designated reserves

The Trustees have established a level of free unrestricted reserves that Barbican Theatre requires to bridge funding gaps to enable the charity to continue the current activities, these are shown within Note 18 of these accounts.

Restricted reserves

The restricted fund relates to the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation whose support during the pandemic and subsequently has been welcomed and proved vital in supporting delivery of activities. Restricted project funding refers to agreed sums that funders have given to spend on specific project activities and elements, the income is ring-fenced for that project, and is shown in Note 6 of the accounts.

Impact of Cost of living crisis on Going Concern

The current cost of living crisis continues to provide ongoing financial challenges to our company. To date we have been able to continue very much within the terms of our objectives. The Trustees have reviewed the cash flow forecasts and operating budgets for the next twelve months and do not foresee any going concern implications. Given the ongoing economic conditions this is being kept under constant review.

Plans for Future Periods

The continued support of Arts Council England, Plymouth City Council, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and valued supporters provides a platform for the Company to survive and develop. Future plans are to improve sustainability and to implement a business model aimed at earning more income from the building whilst continuing to deliver our aims and objectives. Over a 3-5 year period the aim is to ensure an appropriate and achievable balance between earned/contributed income and core grants. The challenges this provides are fully recognised particularly against the uncertainties arising from the current economic climate.

Key issues for 2024-25 are the delivery of the second year of our Arts Council England NPO 2023-26 objectives and continued delivery against our SLA with Plymouth City Council and the successful completion of phase 1 of the River Plym project. Ensuring that this delivery can be achieved with the flatter core team structure and the recruitment of some new Board members.

Costs of generating funds

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Fundraising costs

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

Governance costs

Governance costs shall include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.

Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Unrealised and realised gains

Realised gains and losses are included in the accounts on the date at which a contractual obligation is entered into.

Unrealised gains and losses are computed by reference to the market value of the investments at the balance sheet date, compared to the brought forward cost or valuation, and gains and losses arising on similar categories of investments are netted off.

Investments held by the charity

Investments held as fixed assets are revalued at mid-market value at the balance sheet date and the gain or loss taken to the statement of financial activities. Investments include property investment of Plymouth Athenaeum.

Method of consolidation of subsidiaries

The subsidiary company has not traded from the 31 March 2010 and is considered dormant. As the company and its subsidiary consist of a small group it is exempt from the need to provide consolidated accounts under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006

Fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Plant and machinery – 33% straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment – 20% reducing balance Café bar in Freehold Property – 10% reducing balance Leasehold land & buildings – straight line over the lifetime of the lease Freehold Buildings – 10% Reducing Balance

Taxation

The charity's activities fall within exemptions afforded by the provisions of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. Accordingly, there is no taxation charge in these accounts.

14

Rent-a-Role Drama Service (Otherwise known as Barbican Theatre) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024

Funds structure policy

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.

Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully the monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.

A fixed asset fund is maintained which represents the written down value of tangible fixed assets, and is divided into a restricted fixed asset fund representing the written down value of those assets subject to restrictions, with the balance being in a designated fund representing the written down value of those assets free of restrictions.

There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above.

Any other proposed transfer between funds would be considered on the particular circumstances.

2 Going Concern

The trustee's consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charities' ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant area of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

The deferrals included in creditors relate to those grants and donations specified by the donors as relating to specific periods and represent those parts of the grants or donations which relate to periods subsequent to the accounting year end and are treated as grants in advance, or alternatively where there are conditions which must be fulfilled prior to entitlement or use of the grant or donation by the charity .

The brought forward deferred income has been restated this year to clarify that the income to which it was related to is all unrestricted in nature, rather than the split last year which showed that a component had been received in relation to restricted income.

Rent-a-Role Drama Service (Otherwise known as Barbican Theatre) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024

18 Purpose of unrestricted funds

There are four purposes of the designated funding:

  1. These funds may be used to cover a funding shortfall in a project, either to its planned conclusion or to bridge a gap in its targeted funding. The trustees consider a fund of £20,000 is deemed sufficient..

  2. A sinking fund available for unforeseen organisational obligations. There is a reserve that equates to 3 months of core costs. The trustees consider a fund of £35,000 is deemed sufficient.

  3. A fund is available to support the Capital Refurbishment of the Barbican Theatre. The target balance for this fund is £170,000.

  4. Given the scale of organisational change that is being undertaken it is necessary to create a reserve that can be called upon to support organisational change. This can be used to support the change in development and training programmes and innovative changes to programming. The target balance for this fund is £85,000.
