Objectives and activities
Portaferry is a small market town at the tip of the Ards Peninsula in County Down, Northern Ireland.
The Hey-Day of the town was in the mid 1800's and it was then that Portaferry Presbyterian Church,
widely acknowledged as one of the best Greek Revival church buildings in Great Britain and Ireland,
was built. The Portico of Ards Ltd assumed ownership of the building in 2014 and completed a £1.6m
restoration in 2016. The objects of the company are to promote, maintain and advance education in
Northern Ireland, in particular the Portaferry area, by the presentation of public events including, for
example, exhibitions, concerts and recitals for the benefit of the inhabitants of the area and in
particular to=
advance education by the provision of appropriate courses, lectures, seminars, concerts,
recitals, competitions and workshops"
provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation by
providing and making available facilities for the recording and editing of music with the object
of improving the conditions of life of people in the area of benefit., and
repair, maintain, improve and reconstruct the property of Portaferry Presbyterian Church.
In order to carry out the objectives and activities of the charity the trustees devote their time on a
voluntary basis. They are assisted by over 100 other volunteer helpers whose help is invaluable in
enabling Portico of Ards Ltd to organise and host events and activities.

Year Ended 31 March 2024
Public benefit statement
The charity has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on
public benefit to ensure that the activities entered into during the year have helped to achieve the charity's
objectives and activities as well as providing public benefit.
Achievements and Perfomiance
In the year 2023-2024 Portico has continued to develop and build on its role as a unique, privately owned
Arts and Heritage venue in N Ireland which hosts a wide range of arts and heritage related events from jazz
to country music, pop music, tribute bands, theatre. comedy and film as well as classical, choral and organ
music.
Core to the success of the venue is the financial support of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Ards
and North Down Borough Council as Portico develops a central role for them in the provision of arts events
in the southern part of the Borough. Portico has also seen an increase in tour group numbers and talks on
local heritage.
In the 23-24 year Naomi Bailie-Doran and Howard Hastings resigned from the Board and Claire
Bechenstein, Jane Heyn, Annalisa Mcmanus and Naomi Mccallum joined the Board. Paula McKeown was
appointed as Assistant Manager and Anne Moreland as Development Manager.
Volunteers remain core to Portico's life and business model: numbers have continued to grow with tasks
ranging from ticket sales through ushering, carparking, cleaning, polishing silver to grant writing,
maintenance of the building and caring for the grounds. It is estimated that the volunteers contribute, in kind,
well over £80K of services pro bono.
The financial year 23-24 saw continued growth in audience numbers for comedy and tribute bands with a
considerable number of sell-out events. However, audience numbers for "classical" events have continued
to be lower than before the Covid pandemic. Portico's manager, Dr Verity Peet, is highly active on social
media on behalf of Portico, advertising concerts and increasing awareness of Portico locally and nationally.
Financial review {including reserves policy)
The results for the year are set out in detail on pages 8 to 18. The charitable company returned net outgoing
resources in the year of {£26.449) {2023. net outgoing resources of {£54,616) ). At 31 March 2024, the total
funds of the charity amounted to £1.080,174 (2023.. £1,106.623) comprising restricted funds of £945,245
(2023.. £964,131) and unrestricted funds of £134,929 {2023: £142,492).
Reserves Policy
The trustees have established the level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available} that the
charity ought to have. Reserves are needed to bridge the funding gaps between spending on productions
and events and receiving reSoUr￿S through admission charges, donations and the receipt of grants. The
level of unrestricted reserves that the charity aims to retain are equivalent to six months operating costs.
Plans for future periods
Looking ahead, Portico's main con￿rn will be revenue generation and attracting core-funding. Portico will
continue to strive to present as wide-ranging a list of events to ensure public support and income. In
addition, the relationship with the local Presbyterian congregation, who use the building every Sunday under
licence and for an annual fee, continues to be excellent and the multifunctionality as both a church and an
Arts and Heritage Centre perhaps represents a model that other churches, struggling with maintenance
overheads might consider.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. incorporated on 5 March 2008 and registered
as a charity on 5 March 2008. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which
established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of
Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not
exceeding £1.

Ib) Funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtheran￿ of the general
objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordan￿ with specific restrictions imposed by
donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and

date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance
before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the

fulfilled.
Donated facilities and donated professional servi￿$ are recognised in income at their fair value when
their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the
item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the

Further detail is given in the Trustees, Annual Report.
Id) Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that
aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or
constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be
required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the
following headings..
Expenditure on charitsble activities- and
Governance costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
(e) Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitsble
activities and include office costs. governance costs. administrative payroll costs. They are incurred
directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly
attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on
charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
The analysis of these costs is included in note 6.
lfj Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset
capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less
estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows..
Freehold buildings
Fixtures and fittings
Organ
Equipment
2 % straight line
10 % straight line
10°/o Straight line
25 % straight line
(g) Debtors and creditors receivable I payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are
recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
Ih) Impairment
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at
each balan￿ sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's

li) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a
past event, it is probable that an ouffiow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the
amount can be reliably estimated.
ti) Tax
Portico of Ards Ltd is recognised as a charity for the purposes of applicable taxation legislation and is
therefore not subject to taxation on its charitable activities.
Ik) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no
material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected
level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The
budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to
continue as a going concern.
11) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgements made in the prO￿sS of preparing the financial statements are continually
evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Trustees do not consider that
there are any critical judgements made in applying these charity accounting policies or that there are
any critical accounting estimates or assumptions which may have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

The value of non-depreciable land held within Land & Buildings is nil {2023= nil).
During the year ended 31 March 2013 Portico of Ards Ltd were gifted the freehold interest of the
Nugent estate in Portafery Presbyterian Church. In April 2014 the congregation relinquished their
interest in the church building. On 19 May 2014 the freehold ownership of the church building was
passed to Portico of Ards Ltd for nil consideration.
No value has been included in the financial statements in respect of this donation. It was considered
that at the date the freehold interest was acquired the building only had a token value on the basis that
the grade 'A' listed status of the building would have limited its use to a church or community hall. In
addition significant work would also have been required to have been carried out to the building at that
time in order to repair and upgrade the building.
A charge has been granted over the propety in favour of the Trustees of the National Heritage
Memorial Fund as security for any sums that may become due under the standard terms of the grant
referred to and contsined in the grant notification letter dated 12 June 2013. The standard terms of the
grant and additional grant conditions last for 25 years from 12 June 2013 in accordan￿ with the terms
of that grant notification letter.
