TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 28 February 2021. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the group and the Charity qualify as small under section 383 of the Companies Act 2006, the Group Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
a. POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES
The charitable objects for which New Brewery Arts was established are:
-
To advance the education and appreciation of the public in relation to the arts and artistic crafts;
-
To enrich the life of the community by providing facilities, open to the widest possible public access, for education and recreation in the arts and artistic crafts;
-
To provide cultural and recreational arts and artistic craft facilities and opportunities to everyone in the surrounding communities, for the purpose of learning and wellbeing.
b. MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO FURTHER THE CHARITY'S PURPOSES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT
New Brewery Arts’ purpose is to connect people with the hand-made, promote the joy and fulfilment of making and celebrate the role of craft and creativity in all our lives.
Pandemic restrictions aside, in 2020-21 our main activities remained consistent, and the charity’s main work was to connect with craft through provision of professional studio spaces, professional opportunities including exhibiting, teaching and generating a professional income through craft via our retail offering. New Brewery Arts’ exhibitions and classes offer the wider public ways to engage with craft and their own creativity.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE CHARITY
For New Brewery Arts, like so many charities and cultural organisations, 2020 was a year like no other. Unshielded by public funding as the COVID-19 pandemic hit us in March 2020 we faced closing our doors with uncertainty. We cannot stress enough our sincere thanks to the funders who supported us with their generous grants and their belief in New Brewery Arts. We were also supported, as was the culture sector more widely, through government grants and the furlough scheme both of which allowed us to support our staff as lockdowns continued.
New Brewery Arts ensured that the funding we received trickled down to those who needed our support. We used external funding to reduce studio fees, supporting our studio holders to maintain an independent, creative practice when income and funding was difficult for many small businesses and freelance creatives.
On entering the first lockdown we swiftly developed a new relationship with the Homeless Relief team at the Cotswold District Council and were able to make available our guest accommodation for use in the 'Everybody In' scheme. The scheme ran until May 2021 offering safe accommodation for those in need of housing during the lockdowns.
Phil Gibby (Arts Council England's Area Director for the Southwest) tweeted about our response saying New Brewery Arts was “ Another good example of a cultural organisation showing civic leadership in a time of crisis ”.
The project created a network of local, cultural CEOs working together and supporting one another throughout these difficult times. The ‘three-legged stool' project encouraged us to test new ways of working and codesigning a project with a community. Additional funding came from The Gloucestershire Community Foundation to appoint a ‘Community Project co-ordinator'. This temporary role enabled us to work with the Churn Project (a Cirencester based charity) to trial, test and explore ‘co-designing’ a project. We created ‘medals for everyday courage’ with the Churn group using a creative commons project devised by artist Alinah Azadeh for the ‘Craft In Commons’ project produced by Craftspace.
Black Lives Matter, the toppling of Colston’s statue in Bristol, #MeToo and many more conversations loud and quiet took place in 2020; the collective responsibilities of us all to call out racial injustice, inequality and structural privilege were heard. We have committed ourselves to creating a future where everyone feels at home, included. We are determined to making craft a better place for those who have been marginalised or left out and we will work positively to be inclusive, equitable and sustainable to the benefit of all, our community here in Cirencester and the wider craft community.
New Brewery Arts was able to present just one exhibition over this period. ‘A Language of Clay’ took place 1st August – 3rd October 2020. Curated for New Brewery Arts by Ceri Jones the exhibition was a direct development of a long-running and popular initiative called The Language of Clay, which has comprised a series of solo exhibitions touring a network of galleries across Wales. A Language of Clay presented ceramic work from six artists; Justine Allison, Anne Gibbs, Kate Haywood, Lisa Krigel, Ingrid Murphy and Zoe Preece. Each artist explores the material and aesthetic qualities of clay from different perspectives, but whether motivated by function, form, social interaction or personal experience, each artist undertakes her practice with a keen sense of Materiality.
“So great you’re back. Such a wonderful creative space for Cirencester”
New Brewery Arts made use of the time and space away from public delivery to consider at the shape of the organisation and to conceptualise a new shape for New Brewery Arts post-pandemic. This strategic planning resulted in a new business plan and a restructuring to create a nimbler organisation, better placed to respond to the world we now face.
We reopened our doors in the spring of 2021, with significant changes to our thinking, planning and operations. Projects developed under the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 continue to develop. We are continuing our co-

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
design work with the Churn Project, and the creation of a new digital studio will enable us to build on the digital delivery skills we learned in lockdown. The digital studio will enable us to better use digital platforms to reach our communities as well as enable creatives, craftspeople and other organisations to grow their own abilities in using digital media through new classes, professional development and resource sharing.
Two new team-members have joined the organisation through the government Kickstart placement and both are gaining invaluable skills to prepare them for the workplace as well as providing extra capacity for New Brewery Arts as we reopen. As with our work supporting the homeless last year, we see supporting young people as part of our ‘civic leadership’ role. Many of the team were nurtured through volunteering, internships and mentoring in their early career and we’re proud to be able to support the next generation with these valuable opportunities at a pivotal moment in a career.
Our creation and appointment of a new role of ‘Commercial Services Manager’ in June 2021 was hugely positive. We actively encouraged diverse applications, and we joined campaigns such as #showthesalary and #NonGraduatesWelcome to ensure we removed potential barriers for applicants by asking for unnecessary information and qualifications. We received applications from the most diverse spread of candidates and appointed a new senior team member with exciting professional experience who brings a fresh perspective to the organisation.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
a. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
As a consolidated entity, the Charity incurred an unrestricted surplus for the year of £80,041 (2020: deficit of £21,417) which was added to the unrestricted funds brought forward of £155,264 leaving the balance of £235,305 as the value of unrestricted funds held by the charity at the year end.
The restricted fund value consists almost entirely of the improvements to the buildings on which the charity holds leases. These improvements, of over £3m of work, are being depreciated over a prudently short 15 years (with just 3 years remaining on the £2.4m works of 2008). The balance of the remaining restricted fund is £964,533 (2020: £1,199,729).
b. GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
c. RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees believe that the Charity should be holding a minimum level of free reserves of between 3 and 6 months of core overheads, approximately £100,000. As at year-end, the free reserves were over £230,000, which exceeds the minimum level but recognises the challenging nature of the UK's emergence from the various 'lockdown' restrictions and the ongoing pandemic uncertainty.
The restricted fund value consists of the improvements to the buildings on which the Charity holds leases, (£3m of work, which is being depreciated over 15 years). We have just 3 years remaining depreciation on the £2.4m 2008 works to our main buildings, and 10 years remaining depreciation on the £600k capital works to create the guest accommodation. Other funds of the Charity comprise mainly small value fixed assets.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
d. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINITIES
New Brewery Arts depends on human interaction with crafts. As we have seen, society’s ability to come together and physically engage with an organisation is not as dependable as we may have believed, nor is discretionary consumer spending. Our reliance on both discretionary consumer spending and the ‘human touch’ of our work has proven to be a risk.
A new strategic business plan was developed as lockdown 3 ended and is our initial response to a postpandemic world. It encourages us to focus on our purpose while adapting to the new realities, risks, and uncertainties we face.
e. PLANS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
We will continue to focus on the resilience of the team and our community of makers and our community. Our Senior Management Team are working on key areas for the organisation as it reforms itself post COVID, including our commitment to the environment, people and digital technologies in the future.
Our new digital studio is soon to open – providing support and resources not just for New Brewery Arts but for craftspeople and makers, and potentially other small or cultural businesses and organisations.
Our philanthropic giving scheme, developed over lockdown, also launches later this year. We will continue to foster and to grow our positive relationships with funders, grant-makers, trusts and foundations, building on the support we received throughout the pandemic.
f. PRINCIPAL FUNDING
The Charity generates income through charity related activities including studio licences, participation classes and other activities.
The Charity uses trading activities (managed through a trading subsidiary) to make effective use of the extensive buildings, defraying some overheads which would otherwise be borne by the charity itself. Our trading activities enhance the overall offer to our audiences and communities and generate vital income which is covenanted to the Charity itself.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
a. CONSTITUTION
New Brewery Arts Limited is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association dated 24 May 1989, as amended by special resolutions dated 20 July 1990 and 28 September 2004; and as amended by certificate of incorporation on change of name dated 8 December 2011.
b. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTESS
Trustees are appointed by the Board in annual or general meetings at which not less than half the then serving Trustees are present in person or by proxy. The Trustees undertake a skills audit to identify gaps within the Board and seek new trustees proactively to supplement the skills.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
d. PAY POLICY FOR SENIOR STAFF
The Trustees consider that the Board of Trustees and the Senior Management Team comprise the Key Management Personnel of the Trust in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Charity on a day to day basis. All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of Trustees’ expenses are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.
The pay for the Senior Management Team is reviewed by the Board of Trustees annually and is normally increased in line with average earnings.
e. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING
The Trustees, who must not be less than eight or more than 16 in number, are also directors of the company, are responsible for the administration of the Charity and oversee the management of the Charity through the appointed Chief Executive Officer, Beth Alden, who is responsible for the day to day operation of the Charity. A subsidiary company, Brewery Arts (Trading) Limited, covers the operations of the shop, café and accommodation. For financial management purposes, the Board monitors the performance of the five principal business units - participation, exhibitions, shop, café and accommodation.
The full Board of Trustees meets at regular intervals during the year. Core sub committees, comprising staff and Trustees, and covering Artistic Programmes, Finance and Audit also meet regularly and report to the Board. Task and finish groups are created to look at particular strategic areas.
f. RELATED PARTY RELATIONSHIPS
None of our Trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the Charity and none of them held any interest in the share capital of the subsidiary. Many Trustees support the activities of the Charity by patronising the shop and café and some also attend courses and workshops. See note 25 for further details of related party transactions.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Charity and of their incoming resources and application of resources, including their income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group and the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and the Charity 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 Group and the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' Report is approved has confirmed that:
-
so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable group's auditors are unaware, and
-
that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable group's auditors are aware of that information.
Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEW BREWERY ARTS LIMITED
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of New Brewery Arts Limited (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 28 February 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Charity Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 28 February 2021 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 the 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEW BREWERY ARTS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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.
OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the 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 Group's and the parent 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 Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

NEW BREWERY ARTS LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEW BREWERY ARTS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit 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 have considered the nature of the sector, control environment and financial performance;
-
We have considered the results of enquiries with management and Trustees in relation to their own identification and assessment of the risk of irregularities within the Group; and
-
We have reviewed the documentation of key processes and controls and performed walkthroughs of transactions to confirm that the systems are operating in line with documentation.
As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the highest area of risk to be in relation to revenue recognition, with a particular risk in relation to yearend cut off. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK) we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We have also obtained understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Group operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act 2011, Charity SORP 2019 and FRS 102.
In addition, we considered the provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Group's ability to operate or avoid a material penalty. These included data protection regulations, health and safety regulations and employment legislation.
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
-
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
Reviewing board meeting minutes;
-
Enquiring of management in relation to actual and potential claims or litigations;
-
Performing detailed transactional testing in relation to the recognition of revenue, with a particular focus around year-end cut off; and
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgments made in accounting estimates are indicative of potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all members of the engagement team and remained alert to possible indicators of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the engagement team performed remote audit testing using online portals to share documentation securely and video calls to make enquiries. This has not had any detrimental impact on our
Page 10
NEW BREWERY ARTS LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEW BREWERY ARTS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
ability to identify and respond to risks.
As a result of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that not all irregularities, including a material misstatement in financial statements or non-compliance with regulation, will be detected by us. The risk increases the further removed compliance with a law and regulation is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, given we will be less likely to be aware of it, or should the irregularity occur as a result of fraud rather than a one off error, as this may involve intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.
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, 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 those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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 its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
New Brewery Arts Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Brewery Court, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 1JH. The members of the chairty are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Chairty.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The have been prepared in accordance with 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
New Brewery Arts Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position consolidate the financial statements of the Charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Financial Activities in these financial statements.
The statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity.
2.2 GOING CONCERN
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. This includes considered regarding the implications of COVID-19 and the restrictions imposed.
After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 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 Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2.4 INCOME
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement or receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
2.5 EXPENDITURE
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity’s educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.
2.6 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of New Brewery Arts Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries').
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption contained within section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its own Income and Expenditure Account.
The income and expenditure account for the year dealt with in the accounts of the Charity was £60,729 net expenditure (2020: £252,361 net expenditure).
2.7 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
At each reporting date the Charity assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2.7 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION (CONTINUED)
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
- Leasehold property straight line over 15 years - Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance Website - 25% straight line Artwork - not depreciated
2.8 INVESTMENTS
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
2.9 OPERATING LEASES
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
2.10 STOCKS
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.
2.11 INTEREST RECEIVABLE
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank
2.12 TAXATION
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
2.13 DEBTORS
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.14 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.15 CREDITORS AND PROVISIONS
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.16 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

GROUP AND CHARITY
All assets are used in direct furtherance of the Charity’s objectives.
Leasehold property includes improvements to the building on which the charity has a 99 year lease and will only benefit from the use of the building, rather than any increase in value. These costs have been depreciated on a straight line basis over 15 years from February 2008, which is the Trustee’s estimate of the useful economic life of these assets. The Arts Council England hold a debenture incorporating a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the Charity, in relation to their assistance with the building project.
ARTWORK
The artwork is a donated asset recognised in the accounts at valuation. No depreciation has been charged against the value of the asset in the current or previous years. The value is regularly reviewed by the Board of Trustees for impairment.

Contributions totalling £739 (2020: £977) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors.
