BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT For the year ended 28 February 2022

The Board of Trustees submit their annual report and the financial statements of The Dance Scholarship Trust for the year ended 28 February 2022. The Board of Trustees confirms that the annual report and financial statements of the Trust comply with current statutory requirements, including the Charities Act 2011, as well as the requirements of the Trust’s governing document and the provisions of 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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS

Legal and administrative details are shown on page 2 of the financial statements, including a full list of the Trustees who served the Trust during the period up until the date of the signing of this report.

OBJECTS

The main objects of The Dance Scholarship Trust, a registered charity, are to support the educational work of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB).

The subsequent total payments of £24,500 should have occurred in January/February 2022, but was not possible and will be delayed into the financial year ending 28 February 2023.

However, the amounts have been shown as expenditure in the year in accordance with the SORP, and subsequently show as liabilities at year end.

Scholar’s Gathering & AGM

The 2021 AGM was held in St Albans, a modest event with in-person and virtual attendance. It was not yet appropriate to hold an AGM at the pre-pandemic scale, although the Trust hopes for greater attendance in Bristol for the 2022 AGM. Expenditure was greater than income at this event, and the AGM cost £267 to run. It should be noted that the AGM provides a good opportunity to encourage greater fundraising and donations, and in some years has generated a profit.

Donations

The Trust receives generous monthly/annual donations from 30 people, plus those who give anonymously or via appeals on Just Giving and other fundraising events, a total of £6,441

The Trust incurred an expenditure of £1,366 associated with accountants fees, bank charges and Just Giving fees within the General Account, plus an expenditure of £307 at the AGM.

Fundraising

2019 Scholars

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

In furtherance of these objects during the year the Trust has undertaken the following activities:

Scholarships

The Trust has provided monies to support students who are participating in the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) Scholarship program through a contribution to the SPAB. During the financial year to 28 Feb 2022 the DST committee made the commitment to support the 2022 Scholarship with 2 bursaries of £10,000 to enable the SPAB to offer 4 Scholarships.

COVID-19 Contingency

In addition to bursary payments, The Trust agreed to provide a single Covid contingency of £4,500.

Delayed Payments

The 2019 Scholars (Beth, Christian, Dan and Holly) had planned to organise individual fundraising events through 2021 and 2022. So far, Beth has completed her Cambridge half marathon and raised £536 via the Just Giving page. Additional fundraising from this cohort, plus the deferred sketchathon, will be outside of the financial year ending 28 Feb 2022.

2021 Annual Report

Last years Trustees’ report incorrectly stated that the fundraising activities of the 2021 Scholars (Amy, Libby and Lucy) would be captured within the 2022 accounts. It did in fact fall within the 2021 accounts.

Louise Bainbridge

Louise Bainbridge asked for donations to the DST as a wedding gift. This resulted in a number of generous one-off donations, which contributed

towards our healthy fundraising totals for this year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is unincorporated and is governed by the rules and regulations set out in its constitution.

The members of the charity are all past Scholars of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. Members appoint the Committee of Management from their number at the Annual General Meeting. The Committee of Management run the charity on a day to day basis. There are no paid or voluntary staff.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in line with section 4 of the Charities Act 2006.

Additional funds beyond the reserves are managed by the committee’s investment and funding strategy.

The reserves policy will be reviewed annually alongside financial reports, prior to an AGM.

Restrictions

There are no restrictions on the charity’s power to invest. The Committee sets the investment strategy and reviews it annually to take account of income requirements, risk profile and market prospects in the medium term.

Investment Management

CCLA offer a limited choice of investment funds, and the Committee makes decisions on which funds to hold, with a goal of long-term approach to investing, accepting that some years may see a fall in the value of investments.

Financial Goals

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 28 February 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), as well as the Charity Act 2011.

The effect of any event relating to the year ended 28 February 2022, which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Trustees has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 28 February 2022 and the results for the year ended on that date.

Under the exemption available to smaller charities, the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements.

The functional currency of the Charity is sterling and amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

Legal status

The Dance Scholarship Trust is a charity registered in England & Wales, and meets the definition of a public benefit entity. The registered address is 37 Spital Square, London, E1 6DY.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Board of Trustees is confident that future reserves and future income is more than sufficient to meet current commitments. There are no material uncertainties that impact this assessment and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had no material impact on this assessment.

Fund Accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Trust and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise of unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of any designated fund is set out in note 8 of the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the Trust for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The Charity currently holds no restricted funds.

Income

Income is recognised when the Trust has entitlement to the funds, any performance indicators attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when entitled, receipt is probable and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gift aid receivable is included when claimable.

Income from trading activities, which consists of income from members paying to attend the AGM and related activities, is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless it relates to a specific future period or event, in which case it is deferred.

Dividends are accounted for when due, and tax recoverable on such income is accounted for based on the repayment due in the fiscal year ending in that accounting year.

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at the period end.

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the Charity's objectives. Unconditional grant offers are accrued in full

The Dance Scholarship Trust – registered charity no. 802165

- 9 -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 28 February 2022

once the recipient has been advised of the grant award and the payment is probable. Where grant awards are subject to performance conditions that are outside of the control of the Charity these are accrued when the recipients have been notified of the grant award.

Indirect costs, including governance costs, which cannot be directly attributed to activities, are allocated proportionate to direct costs allocated to each area, as outlined in note 3 of the financial statements.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Only assets costing more than £500 are capitalised. Currently there are no assets held over this limit.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand, deposits with banks and funds that are readily convertible into cash at, or close to, their carrying values, but are not held for investment purposes.

Debtors and prepayments

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount is applied. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the Trust 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.

Investments

Investments are initially measured at their cost and subsequently measured at their fair value at each reporting date, which gives rise to unrealised gains/losses at the end of the financial period which is reflected in the SOFA. Realised gains/losses are calculated as the difference between the sales proceeds and the opening carrying value or the purchase price if acquired during the financial period. Partial disposals are accounted for using the average value. Fair value is based on the quoted price at the balance sheet date without deduction of estimated future selling costs.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost other than investments which are measured at fair value.

Critical estimates and judgements

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The treatment of tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in useful economic lives and residual values of assets. These are reassessed annually.

In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.
