Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

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 2025. 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

DBDF is established for the following objects: to provide scholarships, bursaries and other forms of subsidy for pupils at London Vocational Ballet School (formerly Young Dancers Charitable Academy) and the West London School of Dance who are unable to afford to pay the full running costs of its schools and of its dancing facilities.

DBDF aim to promote within the community, opportunities to participate in dance for people of school going age who might otherwise be excluded by virtue of economic, social or cultural reasons; to promote and advance the education of the public in the performing arts, especially, but not exclusively, in the art of ballet and other dance forms, for the benefit of the public.

Public benefit

Trustees are updated regularly and sent any updates directly received from the Charity Commission and hold high regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefits when deciding what activities to undertake.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

2024-25 remains financially challenging due to the continuing financial crisis.

During the year the Charity have organised their annual Nutcracker performance as well as a summer show this year which has increased recognition within the community and further helped our aims.

The effect on our charity - like others - has been demanding. Despite this we have taken great pains to fulfil our main aims and objectives. We have managed to continue to provide bursaries to both the schools we support, and we have explored alternative means of fundraising and continued strong relationships with longstanding individual donors.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

As these financial statements evidence, the Charity made a net deficit of £35,152, leaving closing funds of £189,537.

The charity holds a fundraising gala every couple of years, performances include productions of Nutcracker in December, the bi-annual Variety Show with raffles attached and private benefactors donate on a regular basis each year.

Donations and bursaries gifted are the charities main source of funding however, the two buildings that DBDF occupy now get sub-let out to other clubs and charities within the community which has raised almost £126k for the Charity.

The Charity strive to ensure as much income given, is used towards their aims and ensure a strict cost management process is in place to maintain this aim.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Trustees have established a reserves policy with the objective to build and maintain a level of reserves of at least six months operating expenditure estimated using these financial statements at £179,858. This will cover funding uncertainties any unexpected or planned additional expenditure in order to ensure that the Charity is able to meet its obligated commitments and to continue as a going concern.

The current level of free reserves held within the Charity is £189,537, none of which are considered to be restricted, designated or endowment reserves.

The Trustees feel it is very important for the future of children for the charity to be financially sustainable and are constantly striving to maintain the reserves level to keep in line with the above policy..

The Charity's financial position is reviewed regularly, with detailed reports discussed at each Trustees meeting.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in prepaying these financial statements.

FUTURE PLANS

The continuation of our annual Nutcracker performance but also to ensure that the Summer Gala performs well and helps to continue sustainably providing financial support to London Vocational Ballet School and West London School of Dance year on year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

This is also overseen by the recommendations from trustees and associated parties and the unanimous approval by existing members.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

All newly appointed Trustees are asked to submit their personal details in-order for checks to be approved by the DDC. This current year has seen 2 new Trustees joining the Foundation. Trustees are also required to sign authorised papers declaring each Trustee has read and adheres to DBDF's Policies held on our official site.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of

The Du Boisson Dance Foundation

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Du Boisson Dance Foundation ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2025.

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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 August 2025

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.

| Income

| Income received for services provided is accounted for on an accruals basis.

| Cash donations, gifts and legacies are included in full in the income and expenditure account as they are received. Any significant non-cash donations are included in the income and expenditure account at the trustees' estimate of their market value when received. The value of voluntary help is not included in the accounts.

| Grants and other funding of a revenue nature are deferred and released to the income and expenditure account over the period to which they relate.

| Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on an accruals basis.

| 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 improvements | - | Straight line over 15 years

| Taxation

| The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

| Fund accounting

| Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Estimates and judgements

| Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the Directors' best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately differ from these estimates. The Directors do not consider there to be any material estimates and judgements.

| Financial instruments

| The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, including trade and other debtors and creditors, are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
