Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 October 2023


The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st October 2023.

Introduction

The Trustees of Upstagers Theatre Charity Limited are pleased to present our annual directors' report, together with the consolidated financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31st October 2023, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 2015).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and activities
The charity's principal activity is to the provision and maintenance of property for youth theatre groups and other community groups. The affiliated user groups are Upstagers Theatre Group (Community Youth Theatre) and Upstagers Academy (Performing Arts Teaching Group).

The principal activity is achieved through:

1. Keeping the property ('The Barn') in good repair, both internally and externally;

2. Encouraging and maintaining the use of health and safety practices by all user groups;

3. To regularly examine and evaluate best use of the building for public use;

4. Supporting the user groups in providing a safe, welcoming and clean environment;

5. Raising necessary funds and administering the charity's finances;

6. Insuring the property and equipment through comprehensive policies;

7. When the diary allows, to encourage community groups to make use of the building.

8. Explore additional funding streams to help fund additional and related projects.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Safeguarding

A Child Protection Policy is in place to protect our junior members and vulnerable adults and is monitored and updated where necessary by Dr Andrew Hewitt - the 'named' person and a Trustee. DBS disclosures are an essential requirement for those people working with young people on our premises. These checks are coordinated by Dr Andrew Hewitt.

The Trustees take all reasonable measures to ensure that risks of harm to everyone using the building are minimised - our duty of care is a prime consideration.

External doors and the office door, (where confidential documents and expensive equipment is stored), are fitted with coded safety locks, and visitor admittance to the external door is by doorbell.

The Trustees have in place a risk management procedure which identifies the key areas affecting users of the building. This process results in a record of any significant risks within the building and in the car park area for each possible impact or consequence of the risk and action required. The Trustees seek reasonable assurance that these risks have been adequately managed and are satisfied that the appropriate procedures and controls are in place to manage the risks. This procedure is reviewed on a regular basis.

The Trustees feel that this level of safety and security:
- meets our responsibilities;
- protects our reputation;
- protects finances; and most importantly
- provides users with the best safe working environment.

The building is protected by way of an intruder alarm that provides security monitoring of the two external doors along with movement detectors around the premise. The building also has a CCTV system with cameras that monitor the entrances and exits to the building and footage is continually recorded. Monitor screens placed in the office and main studio space allow the Academy teachers and those who run rehearsals to view a live stream of the footage, which reduces the risk of individuals entering or leaving the building undetected. The security systems are maintained in line with manufacturers guidelines by a qualified engineer. Twice annually, the fire alarm, firefighting equipment and lift are tested professionally. On a weekly basis one of our volunteers checks the fire alarm, light bulbs, and arranges or performs any necessary repair work to maintain a safe, secure environment.

Volunteers make a valuable contribution to the maintenance of the building and the Trustees are indebted to the work of the volunteers who spend a great deal of time maintaining the building to a very high standard.

The Trustees have made sure that well maintained appropriate facilities are available for special need users - lift, external access ramp, disabled users' toilet and level access to all rooms.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES




Costume store

Since 2011, the charity has leased a small warehouse (known internally as 'The Lockup') in the centre of Ilkley to house most of our costume stock, thus opening up more useable space within the main premises. Continued progress has been made by the Wardrobe Team in sorting and cataloguing our costume inventory during the year. It is our intention to review the leasehold agreement during the forthcoming year to ensure value for money and best practice is being followed.

The Barn Workshop and Store

We have continued with our project to rationalise and re-organise the workshop and scenery store to make for more efficient use of the building, particularly by the production teams that make and arrange the stage settings and scenery for the theatre group.This is an ongoing project.

The Barn

The Barn continues to be the focus of our activities for our associated groups. There has been a small degree of cosmetic improvements over the course of the year which has cleaned and modernised the appearance. We do, however, expect that a higher level of capital expenditure will be required in the medium term to ensure that the building continues to be fit for purchase and we intend to explore sources of grant funding to help secure funding of such a project.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Our associated theatre group put together a programme for the 2023 season that included our pantomime for the year (Cinderella) and our summer show (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). Both shows were a great artistic success with Cinderella being acknowledged by winning the Best Pantomime Award at the local theatrical awards. Commercially, the audience numbers increased after a disappointing previous year that we were lower due to the pandemic. We firmly believe that audience numbers will stabilise as long as we continue to provide an engaging program.

Our Academy associate continues to grow under the leadership of our Academy principal, Bethany Gregory. Student numbers continue to increase steadily for both one to one lessons and for group lessons and the course content is being continually refined to provide stimulating and relevant content. The teaching team has been expanded to cope with additional numbers and we have been pleased to increase resources in to this area to extend the hours offered and the quality of teaching. We firmly believe that the Academy plays a fundamental part in achieving our stated aims of encouraging participation in the performing arts.

We have seen a significant increase in costs during the year due to inflation and rising costs generally. We have reset our forecasts to take the increase in costs in to account and are satisfied that whilst having an impact, it will not curtail our activities.

We were delighted to recruit additional trustees to expand the expertise and representation on the board. We believe that the board of trustees is at an optimum number, although we keep the make up of the board under constant review and are always seeking trustees who have the desire, drive and skill sets to improve our strategic leadership.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity had net income of £77 this year against net income of £881 last year. The property operating costs were £14,700 compared to £11,912 last year and donations to the affiliated group were £43,800 compared to £18,600 the previous year.

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income. At 31st October 2023 the trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves would be between £10,000 and £25,000. This covers six months of property operating costs and donations to its affiliated group to cover preproduction costs for its theatrical productions.

The charity had cash reserves of £51,111 at 31st October 2023 which means the charity is in a satisfactory financial position to continue its operations.

for the Year Ended 31 October 2023

FUTURE PLANS
Plans for future periods
Our plans for our affiliated theatre group's 2024 show season are in place and include a pantomime in January 2024 (Robin Hood) and a summer show in July 2024 (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). We forecast a continuation of greater audience numbers and intend to reinforce our theatre group's standing as providing top level production values which we firmly believe will result in continued audience numbers.

Our Academy affiliate is also planning to continue to grow adding additional holiday clubs during school holidays and continuing to offer performance opportunities in a theatre. Revenue in to the Academy which is then donated continues to be a very important income stream for the charity and allows us to help fund some of the theatre group's show activities.

The Upstagers Theatre Charity Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 October 2023

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 68 Kings Road, Ilkley, LS29 9BZ.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The Charities SORP (FRS 102) Update Bulletin and the July 2015 amendments to FRS 102 have been early adopted.

The Upstagers Theatre Charity Limited meets the definition of a public benefit body under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity.

Disclosure exemptions
No cash flow statement has been presented for the company.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:

In the opinion of the directors the length of the estimated life and the estimated residual value of the building would make any depreciation immaterial.

Income resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Income resources
Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Furniture and fittings - 15% straight line basis

No depreciation is provided with respect to freehold buildings. In the opinion of the trustees the residual value of the property at the end of the period over which the company will continue to hold the property is likely to be at least as much as the original cost so no depreciation is required. The company maintains the property to a high standard.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. The unrestricted funds are all forms of income from grants and donations from organisations and the general public together with contributions from the associated groups other than those included within the restricted funds.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. The charity's restricted funds are represented by the Grant from The Arts Council of England supported by the National Lottery together with a transfer from Unrestricted Funds as Partnership Funding for the purchase and refurbishment of the property in Station Road, Ilkley and net proceeds from a charity collection, subsequently donated.

Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

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 the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
