KINGSBARTON THEATRE (1999) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03854232)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 31 August 2023


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 31 August 2023. 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 purpose of the charity as set out in its governing document is to educate the public in all forms of dramatic and musical art particularly by developing, maintaining and operating the Kings Theatre as a venue for live amateur performance.

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes are user hire, bar sales and the 100 Club.

We strive, within the constraints of a volunteer run venue, to maximise our reach into the community. Gloucester City Council's Cultural Vision and Strategy 2016-26 recognised us as a community venue. To make the theatre accessible and attractive to potential hirers we operate a very flexible hiring policy with some users hiring it for a single day and others for one or two weeks.

Significant activities
The trustees are pleased to confirm another full year of events has taken place. This has ranged from tribute acts to touring theatre companies, and from pantomimes to prostrate cancer awareness plays, all performed by both local amateur groups and professional artistes. We have a similar programme of events lined up for the forthcoming season.

Public benefit
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and fee charging. The purpose of the charity is to utilise the theatre as a community facility for live performances and to educate the public.

Volunteers
The trustees recognise that the charity is highly reliant on the many volunteers who support the Theatre, and wish to thank them for their endeavours during the year.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the charity has carried on with its programme of theatre refurbishment and maintenance. It continues to provide a diverse programme of events for the benefits of the citizens of Gloucester and greatly acknowledges the support it receives from the Council by way of reduced rates as a result of its charitable status.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Charity had a deficit for the year of £2,343 (2022 - £3,598). At the year end the charity had total funds of £30,603 (2022 - £32,946).

The trustees have determined that it is prudent to retain 12 months of operating costs in unrestricted reserves to meet unexpected events. The charity is undergoing an extended period of redevelopment of the Kings Theatre. It is dependent on grant monies and donations for part of the works but is required to hold a reserve of cash to fund certain works.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 6 October 1999 and registered as a charity. The Charity's governing document are its Articles of Association. As a company limited by guarantee, the organisation has no share capital and the liability of the members on liquidation is limited to £1. In the event that a surplus remains after the realisation of assets, that surplus shall not be distributed to the members, but shall be given or transferred to such other charitable bodies as the members by ordinary resolution decide.

The directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the Company's Articles are known as the Trustee Board who delegate the day to day operations to their management committee, drawn primarily from regular users of the Theatre.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
KINGSBARTON THEATRE (1999) LIMITED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Kingsbarton Theatre (1999) Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
