Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 October 2024


STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial review
Financial position
The total reserves of the charity amount to a negative figure of £9,255 in unrestricted reserves ( 2023 positive £2,924) and restricted reserves of £1,358 (2023 £1,598).Free reserves amounted to a negative figure of £30,320 ( 2023 negative £20,037).
Income from donations and gift aid has increased by £4,650 to £88,786 from £84,136 during the year and income from advertising a has increased to £6,265 from £2,824, and there has been £301 received in sale of sundry assets (2023 £nil)t. Total income has therefore increased by £8,389).
Total expenditure has increased by £8,979 from £98,792 last year to £107,771 an increase of 9%.
Overall there has been an excess of expenditure over income of (£12,419 ) compared to (£11,829) in the previous year.

Principal funding sources
The principle sources of funding are donations ,gift aid and advertising revenue.

Reserves policy
The trustees plan to establish a level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available) over the following years which allow the charity to operate and meet its objectives

Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as although the charity has net current liabilities of £ £30,230, any shortfall will be covered by the directors in the short term and it is the intention to build up the free reserves of the charity over the coming years.
The trustees have looked at forecasts and are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.
The charity is looking to increase its revenue and expenditure will not be authorised unless sufficient funds are in place.For these reasons and with the continued financial support of the trustees, it is felt appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements.

Principal risks and uncertainties
The major risk identified is the financial sustainability of the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, liaison with the bank and active management of debts due to the charity. This is managed by the treasurer and reviewed by the board of trustees.

Non financial risks arise from fire,health and safety of staff and visitors,the protection of vulnerable people,the management of performing rights and food hygiene. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place and making staff aware of their responsibilities in these areas.

External risks relate mainly to the general economic conditions which affect the level of income receivable especially with the downturn in the economy and the cost of living increase.

Financial and risk management objectives and policies
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

Future plans
In November 2024 the subsidiary company was granted conditional permission to create a DAB franchise covering South Craven, Wharfedale and the Worth Valley including Keighley.The charity also continues to expand its outside broadcasting activities which helps the station engage with its public.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 October 2024


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, 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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern - see accounting policy note below.

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
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.


Leasehold property alterations - 15% on reducing balance
Plant and machinery - 15% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance

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 four restricted funds relate to grants received in respect of capital items which are being written off in line with depreciation on those items.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.


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 transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Grants
Government grants and third party contributions and donations are recognised as due to the charity when there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with any conditions attached to the payments and that the grants or contributions will be received.
Grants recognised as income are presented separately in the notes to the accounts.
