Review of the Business
Sharing Stories - The National Lottery Community Fund
We are delighted to have received funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for our two-year project Sharing Stories. Through this funding we are delivering our successful online LGBTQIA+ filmmaking project E.D.E.N. Digital alongside running a monthly online LGBTQIA+ E.D.E.N. Film Club. The funding also ensures our core costs are covered for two years.
We are working with 15 members of the LGBTQIA+ community for E.D.E.N. Digital, providing 15, 2-hour online workshops, covering storytelling techniques, editing, camera and sound recording, using just a phone, or whatever camera participants have alongside a 30-minute 1-2-1 Zoom call for each participant to talk to the tutors about their films. There are also group discussions and feedback sessions, with each participant producing a short film to be premiered via a community screening in 2026. E.D.E.N. Digital launched in November 2025.
E.D.E.N. Film Club launched in June 2025 and is a 2-hour monthly LGBTQIA+ networking group, providing a safe and inclusive space for members of the community to connect. We are delivering 20, 2-hour online networking sessions up until October 2026. 
Tramlines Trust 2024
We are grateful to have received funding from the Tramlines Trust, which supported our work by covering the annual renewal costs for the E.D.E.N. Film Productions and Transforming Cinema website hosting and maintenance. These websites are essential to our sustainability and the delivery of our projects. They showcase the creative work produced through our initiatives, raise awareness of the issues explored in our films, and highlight our collaborations with external organisations.
The funding also covered the renewal of our Vimeo subscription, a platform we use to host and share films created through our projects and commissioned work. Vimeo serves as an archive of our films since our formation in 2013 and plays a key role in preserving and promoting our work within the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as supporting the ongoing development of E.D.E.N. Film Productions.
Arnold Clark Community Fund 2024 - 2025 
We are thankful to have received funding from the Arnold Clark Community Fund, that helped us cover our annual QuickBooks renewal. This supported us in continuing to provide our services to the LGBTQIA+ community.
Directors

Thomas Reaney
Claire Watkinson
Cyd Sturgess Appointed 13/09/2024
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Small Company Rules
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
