**THE CLUTHA TRUST**
**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims**
The Clutha Trust was legally constituted by Trust Deed on 22 September 2014.
The Trust's principal objective as defined in the Deed of Trust is to raise and administer funds for the advancement of the arts, heritage or science, and to provide relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. The aim is to help disadvantaged young people through the arts being the original purpose, as well as helping people experiencing poverty through the Cost-of Living crisis etc.
The Trust's primary source of finance in the year was funds received from the recently transferred bar trade of The Clutha Bar, with music festivals accounting for the remainder of the income.
Donations are made at the sole discretion of the Trustees as they see fit.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
We continued to support many charities by providing office space and furniture at our charity hub located at 450 Argyle Street, Glasgow. The hub accommodate around 15 charities and community groups. Some charities contribute to the upkeep of the hub, including utility costs and repairs, but for those who cannot afford these costs, the Clutha Trust bears these costs.
The charities range from Healing for the Heart, which is a Counselling Service that allows people to self-refer, to Sporting Chances, which offers people access to sporting opportunities. Community groups include theatre groups who use the facilities for rehearsals and workshops, an addiction support group, and a community Brass Band, and Ukrainian camouflage makers. This offers valuable space to small charities who otherwise could not afford this type of space. The charities all interact with one another, sharing resources.
Funds allocated to premises expenses, including lighting, heating, repairs, insurance, and other costs, amount to £35,000. This allows other charities and groups to use the facility free of charge.
## **Clutha Kids**
The Clutha Kids have expanded this year due to the collaboration with City Records. We can now offer professional recording and voice coaching.
Over 380 kids have passed through Clutha Kids initiative. Many are gaining successful careers in the music industry. They include some signed by major labels, as well as UK tours, produced singles and albums, and appearances on The Voice Kids and Britain's Got Talent. Most will be appearing at the upcoming street festivals. A number appeared on the Clutha music stage at Glasgow Winterfest.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024**
## **CAST**
This year has been more about developing ideas for future productions. Most CAST members have been working with professional productions, which is the aim of CAST to help young actors find good parts. CAST members use the rehearsal space at Argyle Street. Cost is incorporated in premises expenses.
## **Clutha Pizza**
The supply of Clutha pizza to Groups, charities, schools and individuals is proving to be very popular. This year we have supplied £40,000. Costs are incorporated within the bar expenses.
## **Art Supply**
We continue to supply art materials and lessons to schools. £5,000 of funds have been allocated to this.
## **Glasgow Winterfest**
The Trust, via the bar entertainment, supplied the bands for the Christmas festival. Costs are incorporated within the Clutha Bar entertainment budget. Winterfest cost £18,000. This included paying a performance fee to young bands and wages to crew members, including those for sounds and lighting. The stage gave young people the chance to perform in front of a large audience. The Winterfest raised over £35,000.
## **Office Furniture Donations**
We continue to supply charities and organisations with office furniture. Our stocks are running low and it proves to be very labour intensive. Furniture supplied this year was around £20,000. We will eventually run down this part of the charity. Although we still pass on donations when we are offered them.
## **Clutha Choir**
The Clutha Choir continues to be very successful and rehearses every week at our charity hub at no cost.
## **Musical Instrument Donation**
Most musical instruments are donated to us. However, we do buy some when we are out of donations. These are then repaired and supplied to other charities and schools when requested. Cost of repairs are incorporated within our wages.
## **Clutha TV**
Clutha TV produced two short films during this period, the cost of which was incorporated within our wages.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
During the year under review, the charity received income of £1,098,639 (2023: £656,884), incurred costs in generating these funds of £1,078,040 (2023: £717,696) and made donations of £23,524 (2023: £64,720) resulting in a deficit of £2,925 (2023: £125,532). Total funds at the year-end were in a deficit of £7,400 (2023: £4,472).
## **Reserves policy**
The Clutha Trust aims to maintain sufficient funds in our bank account to meet both planned and unplanned expenditures, but to also demonstrate to potential funders that we also have the ability to raise funds through our ongoing fundraising activities and by developing positive and long - term relationships with individuals, user groups and other interested parties.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Going concern**
The charity has made a small deficit in the year and is carrying a small deficit of total funds. However, the trustees remain confident that the trust can continue to operate and is pleased to report an improving position since the end of the financial year.
On the basis of this information, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
One of the aims of The Clutha Trust in the coming years would be to operate the complete building at The Clutha Bar location. This would increase the income generated by the charity, which in turn would allow The Clutha Trust to expand its charitable activities. A feasibility study has been carried out, partly funded by Scottish Enterprise, but it still remains in the early stages of development. The trustees are currently in discussions with investors that are showing significant interest in assisting the Trust and its future operations.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation), as defined by the The Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisations Regulations 2011.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The Trust currently has 3 Trustees. Were there to be a requirement for new trustees, these would be identified and appointed by the remaining trustees.
## **Related parties**
The Clutha Trust is an independent charity, but it is also related to Firthport Limited, which is under the control of one of the trustees. Firthport Limited rents the property that the bar operates from at a cost of £75,000 per year.

THE CLUTHA TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Clutha Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
## AUDITORS
The auditors, Bannerman Johnstone Maclay, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 26 June 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CLUTHA TRUST**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of The Clutha Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of its 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, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
## **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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'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 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.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Page 5
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CLUTHA TRUST**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees 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 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charitable company and the sector in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were the most significant: the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charity SORP.
- We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquires to the management.
- We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
- identifying and assessing the design and effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
- understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
- challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
- identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual accounting combinations; and
- assessing the extent of compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The charity, as of 30 September 2024, had a deficit of funds totalling £7,400. The Trustees note that this position has arisen mainly in the transitional period following the transfer of the trade of The Clutha Bar.
The Trustees are committed to an ongoing review of income generation and the charitable activities, with several events and festivals being planned for The Clutha Bar that should provide additional funding for the charity. On the basis of this information, the Trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
The financial statements are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
## **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.
## **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**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Motor vehicles - 33% on cost
## **Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **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.

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.
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount.
## **Creditors**
Creditors 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.
