£29.430.
At 31 March 2025. the charty held unrestricted. free reserves of £19,435 and so are not currently meeting thls aspiration.

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1. GENERAL INFORMATION** 

Ignite Theatre is Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) governed by its constitution. It was registered as a charity in Scotland (registered number SC044124) on 9 July 2013. Its registered address is Knightswood Community Centre, 201 Alderman Road, Glasgow, G13 3DD. 

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis, and on a going concern basis, in accordance with: 

- the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005; 

- Regulation 8 (Statement of account - Fully accrued accounts) of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006; 

- the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, published in March 2018 (FRS 102), to the extent that it applies to small entities and public benefit entities; 

- 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, published in October 2019 (FRS102) (the Charities SORP); 

- UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- the historical cost convention. 

The charity 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 financial statements are presented in UK sterling, which is the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound. 

There have been no changes to the basis of preparation this financial year or to the previous financial year's financial statements. 

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees are confident that the steps that they have taken and continue to take will improve the charity's unrestricted reserves position and allow the charity to continue for at least the next 12 months. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Debtors** 

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

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash 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. 

## **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity 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. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and valued at historic cost. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Computer Equipment - 20% on cost 

## **Taxation** 

Ignite Theatre is a charity within the meaning of Section 467 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied for charitable purposes only. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
