**TURTLE KEY ARTS ANNUAL REVIEW**

## **1. OBJECTIVES** 

## **1.** 

Turtle Key Arts produce and devise original and groundbreaking art to entertain and inspire, we believe that access to the arts helps improve the quality of life. 

The main objective of the Trust as stated in the Trust Deed is the advancement of public education in the dramatic and visual arts with the object of improving the conditions of life for those persons who have need of such provision by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances. 

## The policies that have been adopted to further the objectives of the charity are: 

•  The provision of artistic activities for and the advancement of the work of young performers and artists with a particular focus on young disabled practitioners •  The encouragement of new developments in the performing arts, in particular of dance, physical and visual theatre and collaborative work and the commitment to the professional production of this work. 

“This has very much been about a recovery year for the arts, emerging from the pandemic, learning to live with COVID and finding ways to continue to make work, returning to live shows and projects and still reach those most isolated and vulnerable. As before the team at Turtle Key Arts all reacted quickly, with great flair and ingenuity and we had live work up and running at the beginning of the financial year as we returned to our office. 

Many professional and freelance artists left the sector during COVID and there has been a drain in our work force, as well as graduating students being hard hit as they emerge into our industry. 

Throughout the pandemic we were very aware of the plight of freelancers and felt the need to support and protect the artists and individuals that work with us and our collaborating companies. With this in mind, we commissioned two of our freelancers in close consultation with us, our companies, and freelancers to develop and produce our Turtle Key Arts Manifesto. This manifesto pledges how we will support artists that we employ, through pay, wellbeing, health and safety, working practices, inclusion and access. It is our commitment to best practice and our intent to listen, improve and ensure the wellbeing of everyone who works with us and our collaborating companies. This is now available on our website, embedded in our contracts and shared in the wider sector. 

In my 25+ years of working in the arts this is definitely one of the most challenging and difficult times. For us at Turtle Key Arts it was so important that we carried on engaging with our participants, freelance artists, and our communities and that we returned to live work. Our Trustees have continued to provide us with much support and advice, and we are very grateful to the support given from our regular funders and individual donors. 

When I look at the work that we did in this last year, I am overwhelmed by how much we achieved and by the dedication, commitment, and hard work of all involved.  I know that all the work we have produced sits at the very heart of the Turtle Key Arts ethos. 

We continued to lobby and listen. We continued to support our collaborating artists, partners and participants. We continued sharing and supporting the work of our collaborating companies and made new work. We continued with our outreach projects reaching over 4000 participants and employing over 400 freelance artists. 

As CEO I was determined to get back out there with live work, go back to theatres and communities and to see and connect with our audiences. I was also determined to continue to ensure our financial sustainability, protect our team, our future and the future of the arts.” 

## **2. REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIES & ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE TRUST** 

At the outset of this financial year, April 2021, our work was still being heavily affected by the pandemic. Online performances were still taking place, we were sending music and dance facilitators in full PPE out into the community to connect with people again and we were constantly writing new protocols for our groups based on people’s vulnerabilities and concerns. 

Thankfully this started to improve and by May, we started our first in person project with young people with autism and slowly felt the optimism of renewed contact with performers, artists, students and participants returning. We were also finally able to return to the office – with arrows and thick plastic screens in place, but at least we were back in the building. 

The months that followed were a blur of activity with constant moments of re-planning if people fell ill or were exposed. We made a staged film that took festivals by storm, we rolled out projects in Bishop Auckland, Manchester, London, Oxford and Birmingham. We produced new work in Bradford, Basingstoke and Hackney and started touring shows around the country. The appetite for being in real life again was overwhelming and we seemed to fit a year’s work into about six months. 

In September we were able to arrange a social event to thank our many freelance collaborators and our all-important funders and board members. Based on our understanding of the needs of freelancers as demonstrated during the pandemic, we worked with several of them to develop a new Freelancer Manifesto to ensure they are treated as the valued contributors that they are in our industry. We were thankfully joined by a new Office Manager in November. 

Our supporters and funders remained steadfast, and we built new partnerships around the country. We also continued to share our experience through lectures and mentoring and began to look at a consultancy model to structure this work going forward. 

our work reached an 600 In 2022 AuDIeNCe of 400 200 employed 20,150 online and live 452 FReelANCe we had a core team of 5 full-time equivalent posts and 5 part-time ARTISTS 

PRODuCeD and we ran involved over 56 9 2000 OuTReACH SHOWS PARTICIPANTS PROjeCTS (3 of which were new) with 82 performances 

Our mission statement remains consistent with the work we have carried out this year; TuRTle Key ARTS uNlOCK CReATIve POTeNTIAl.

## **4. STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT** 

**4.** 

## GOVERNANCE 

Our board members have continued to be extremely supportive in this busy year. They counselled us on difficult decisions around returning to work versus working from home and other situations within projects that arose in the months that followed the lockdowns. We appointed a new member to the board. He is a former member of our Key Club, a club for 16–30-year olds with autism. Our team have known him since our early Turtle Opera projects at the ROH when he was a young boy. He will bring a welcome perspective from our stakeholders. Our meetings in the past year have still remained online – allowing those based outside London to attend more easily. 

Our ambassadors have also stood by us this year with Sarah Long continuing to advocate for those with long term conditions. Amir Hosseinpour has allowed us to understand how projects are starting again in Europe and has connected us to the international performance arts community. 

The trustees met 4 times during the year; at the meetings they considered the ongoing governance of the charity and nominated future trustees. The treasurer and trustees continued to assess the financial status of the trust and to ensure that it was secure and prudent in its operations and looking ahead to potential challenges in the future. 

The trustees reviewed all existing and new policies with particular attention to any new legislation. All trustees complete regular safeguarding training.  Beyond the meetings, the trustees were regularly involved in specific strategy decisions, training, financial oversight and acting as Turtle Key Art’s representatives within their own online and other forums. 

## FUNDRAISING 

Our fundraising efforts continued, particularly in the areas of dementia and autism. Following on from the enormous generosity of funders during the pandemic, we were able to put their funds to good use and to prove the impact on our communities. 

We continue to support our collaborators with their fundraising – particularly with applications to public funding. There were a number of 

changes in the funding landscape, and we have kept abreast of these and have been able to advise our companies on their fundraising strategies. We began writing our applications for National Portfolio Organisations for Turtle Key Arts itself as well as for Ockham’s Razor and for Open Sky Theatre. 

We have stayed in touch with private donors and smaller foundations by inviting them to our social event in September and by keeping them updated via social media and direct communication. 

## DATA AND evAluATION 

We continue to be a member of Information Commissioners Office and are stringent about the data we gather. We have instigated project specific mobile phones to ensure there is no data issues for any freelance team members. We have investigated new ways of collecting audience data through QR codes on our online programmes. This also allows us to be a greener, less paper intensive company. 

Our funders from Prospero connected us to David Faro, Associate Professor of marketing at london business School. He asked us to provide a challenge to his behavioural economics students around some of our work. We asked them to consider our increasingly complicated communication with those we are targeting for our dementia projects, and they spent a number of weeks working on aspects of this challenge and fed back to us with some ideas and recommendations. Dr Rebecca Charlton from the Department of Psychology at goldsmiths university of london has asked us to be involved in a study that is looking at neurodiversity and ageing – combining two of our areas of expertise. 

We also took part in many dementia and music initiatives with connections both in the uK and around the world. 

## mARKeTINg AND PR 

In spring 2021 we launched a year-long PR campaign with Chloe Nelkin Consulting. The focus was to feature a Turtle Key Arts project each month. The strategy was to show that 

Turtle Key Arts had survived and indeed thrived under the lockdown restrictions. The strategy was sound; however, some projects gained more traction than others and in future we will reassess the retainer model and concentrate on tailor made PR campaigns for high profile projects, premieres etc. 

access barriers to entry we continued to build in elements of on-line accessibility where possible especially with an international focus. 

We have begun to more keenly tailor our social media out-put specifically to particular platforms, this can affect the length of films, portrait or landscape images/films of content etc. and also content that is more targeted at the particular demographics of who and how our followers use and interact with particular social platforms. 

Having learned during lockdown that if performances or workshops were online this took away the geographical and many

**TURTLE KEY ARTS ANNUAL REVIEW** 

Our COllabOratOrs aND PartICIPatION PrOJECts We worked with seven collaborating performance companies in the last year. We have a tailored contracted relationship with each company to ensure we support them in the most constructive ways possible - building individual company resilience and expertise. turtle Key arts make sure these companies have access to opportunities which we can help them attain, once they reach a level at which we feel they no longer need this help then we consider negotiating an exit strategy. this allows us to constantly discover new artists to support whilst maintaining relationships with previous collaborators. **4.** this year, alongside our more permanent stable of companies, we worked again with writer Hassan abdulrazzak to mount a rehearsed reading of his new play God’s Dick at the new outdoor venue at the arcola theatre. 

We also carried out consultancy and tour booking work for Proteus theatre Company. 

We have continued to look at which of our outreach projects are bringing the most impact for the participants and it has been interesting for us to take work to new areas, for instance, bradford and birmingham and to research the need in those communities. 

The work of our collaborating companies is still very varied including

Our Chief executive – Alison King, stepped back from her chairing role at the Independent Theatre Council, but took on the chair position of the National Centre for Circus Arts and the advisory board of the london International mime Festival. 

The Turtle Key Art’s team delivered a business Planning and Producing module for NCCA, a lecture on education and Community at mountview and a Company Stage management module at St mary’s university, Twickenham as well as an arts lecture for the university of the Highlands and Islands. 

Turtle Key Arts were also involved with the mayor of london’s Creative Freelancers Shaping london’s Recovery initiative. 

We have continued to build on our strong relationships with the lyric team and the partnership. We strengthened our local links and set up several projects in West london for people with dementia which allowed us to create good relationships with our colleagues at the local authority. 

Our internship programme was able to start again, and we supported 6 young people.  We employed a young stage manager on the jabala tour, and we also worked in an ongoing way with a young disabled assistant producer ahead of our jOy Festival. 

## SummARy 

Turtle Key Arts and our collaborating companies have worked extremely hard over the past year to reconnect with our participants and audiences. We were so grateful to our funders for their trust in us and their generosity in ensuring that we were able to concentrate fully on delivery of work. 

In line with our policies, our collaborators have continued to design outreach work alongside their performance work. This has included Oddly moving running workshops around Physics alongside their tour of Atlas – they have rolled out 44 of these in schools. Open Sky created an online website to encourage people to share stories of child loss and miscarriage alongside their theatre film Cold, Kill the Cat ran workshops in sustainability and making interactive digital theatre and Amici Dance Theatre Company ran blended classes. Alongside jabala and the jinn, the team worked with young people in mainstream schools, refugee groups and groups with special needs. A great deal of our workshops were aimed specifically at groups of British Muslim young people. Our team of facilitators was also made up of british muslim freelance leaders and we trained some new young facilitators during the course of the project. 

Turtle Key Arts published our Freelancer manifesto and Pay Pledge, a guide to ensure best practice for the employment of freelancers.

**5. PARTICIPATION** 


**[DEMENTIA]** 

## **< TURTLE SONG** 

In collaboration with english Touring Opera and Royal College of music, Turtle Song, is a singing and song writing project for people living with dementia. The participants create a song cycle over the course of several weeks which culminates in a live performance for friends and family. 

We finished two online Turtle Songs with people from Reading and Oxford and ran Turtle Song Roadshow in Hammersmith and Hackney where workshop leaders and musicians went into care homes, individual homes and assisted living centres in full PPe to create songs. We ran in person projects in manchester, bishop Auckland, Oxford and the Royal College of music in london. We undoubtedly broke all of our own records with the numbers reached, the areas travelled to and the number of artists and students we worked with. 


## **[YOUNG PEOPLE] THEATRE BOX >** 

We introduced a new project called Theatre box, it’s aim is to enlighten young people (KS3) about the variety of careers in the arts and encourage participants to take creative subjects at gCSe. 

The young people work with professional Designers and a Drama Practitioner in 4 workshops in schools and, with a specially commissioned short play, create a “theatre model box” and learn all about the many roles which happen in the lead up to a theatre production - from page to stage. 

At the end of the project the young people share their work and see all their ideas come together with a final sharing. 


## **[AUTISM]** 

## **< TURTLE OPERA** 

Turtle Opera is a music and drama project for 10-14 year olds on the autism spectrum. 

In partnership with Autism Family Support Oxfordshire, St edward’s School and the university of Oxford, we ran a live project again in Oxford. The final sharing was live streamed since large groups were not yet vaccinated, but the resulting Find your Way piece was a joyful ending to a very special post pandemic project. 

This year we also received Children in Need funding to roll out the project to other cities. The first roll out started in january 22 in birmingham in partnership with Royal birmingham Conservatoire.

## **[AUTISM]** 

## **< KEY CLUB** 

Key Club, a monthly arts and social club based at the lyric Hammersmith for 16-30 year olds on the autism spectrum, runs two monthly groups. 

Facilitated by animators, film makers and musicians, the Key Club members have been working in groups to create short stop frame animations. They have come up with the ideas, made the characters and scenes, sourced the sound and music and played the character voices and narrators. 


## **[DISABILITY ARTS] JOY >** 

Produced by Turtle Key Arts in partnership with the lyric Hammersmith jOy Festival is a celebration of local disabled artists. 

There was a week of live performances in the lyric Studio by local disabled artists in September, a bit later than planned due to on-going Covid concerns. There was also the return of the workshops in seven local SeN schools. This year saw the introduction of Family Fun Days, free arts entertainment for the whole family, there was dancing, circus and visual art in local parks and the lyric square. 

“Turtle Key Arts promote many initiatives and implement a series of measures to engage with the most vulnerable and disadvantaged parts of society.” eveRyTHINg THeATRe 


## **[YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV] < ART IS KEY** 

In association with CHIvA (Children’s HIv Association), the project works with young people in the uK living with HIv. 

The group came back together for a first live weekend and worked with a director, a choreographer and a composer to start creating ideas and content for a musical theatre piece that we hope to make in the future.

## **KILL THE CAT >** 

Kill the Cat make bold interactive theatre, they continued to tour their on-line show The House Never Wins, an interactive game theatre piece that you could play from the comfort of your own home. 

They premiered their new show Talk, a unique interactive scientific-experimental-game-showinstallation-theatre-extravaganza where the audience members are paired with a stranger and get to know over the course of six installations where they make a pot of tea, paint a portrait, share memories, dress-up in card-board boxes and more.

## **< OPEN SKY THEATRE** 

Open Sky blended their film making and physical theatre skills to create the beautifully filmed dark fairy tale Cold, a digital theatre production, at the end of lockdown. This year it screened at cinemas and theatres around the world and also featured as part of the london International mime Festival where it was viewed many thousands of times. It won numerous prestigious European film awards.

## **< YOUNG AMICI** 

A dance company for young disabled and nondisabled dancers who meet weekly at the lyric. 

During lockdown young Amici moved their classes online and as the restrictions eased began to hold blended, on-line and back in the room workshops back at the lyric. 

They also ran a blended version of their successful Summer School - 40 participants signed up for the week which had 3 sessions each day in different art forms including daily young Amici classes, Drama, ballet, Feldenkrais, meditation and yoga. 


## **ODDLY MOVING >** 

Oddly Moving finally premiered their new show Atlas which had been postponed for over a year. The show, about the metaphorical weight we each bear, interweaves personal stories with the greek myth of Atlas, told with Oddly moving’s unique blend of physical theatre, autobiographical storytelling and circus skills (with a rudimentary understanding of physics). 

“ Incredible displays of acrobatics combine with clever storytelling to create a truly immersive experience.” NumbeR 9 


## **< AIK PRODUCTIONS** 

The five-star reviewed Jabala and the Jinn, written by Asif Khan, is a new play for children which explores the story of a modern british muslim family toured the uK. 

It was initially streamed online with online workshops shared with schools in the summer of 2021. In early 2022, a new cast assembled to rehearse and premiere the live show at Kala Sangam in bradford, with a new team of british muslim workshop facilitators delivering sessions in schools, refugee organisations, community groups and special needs groups. Seeing schoolchildren and families return to the theatre – some of whom had never been due to the pandemic – was a very special experience. 

“  There is lots of humour in jabala and the jinn but wrapped up in the fun are lots of messages around acceptance, love, friendship and difference.” WeeKeND NOTeS **19** 

**18** 




## **< HASSAN ABDULRAZZAK** 

Turtle Key Arts supported our longtime collaborator Hassan Abdulrazzak to semi stage his latest play god’s Dick in the summer of 2021. It was a script in hand performance at the new outdoor venue opened by the Arcola Theatre in Hackney. 

Set in a laboratory, god’s Dick was a Darwinian comedy about competition that puts the cut-throat world of scientific research under the microscope. It was particularly timely given the recent vaccine roll outs and the public’s renewed interest in scientists and the stories behind their successes or failures. 


## **AMICI DANCE THEATRE COMPANY >** 

The integrated dance company worked with Turtle Key Arts to complete We’ll Dance Again, started under lock-down, dancers went out into the community and danced with vulnerable people at their homes and in assisted living who had been isolated for so long. 

Amici members also took part in the community show, The Heart of Hammersmith, that was created by the lyric Hammersmith and performed on their main stage. 

As the lock-down eased they gradually started their weekly workshops again, in person, and also resumed rehearsals again on their postponed 40th anniversary show One World which has been rescheduled to be performed at the lyric in june 2022. 


## **< OCKHAM’S RAZOR** 

The uK’s leading circus company’s tour of This Time resumed its uK tour after lockdown restrictions eased. They also helped create original work for several other circus companies working as directors and choreographers. 

They started R&D and rehearsals on their new show Public, an outdoor performance about the ownership of public space. They gathered together a company of ten recent graduate and young diverse performers incorporating parkour, dance, acrobatics, climbing, aerial, parkour, partner acro and contemporary flow.

## STATemeNT OF TRuSTeeS’ ReSPONSIbIlITIeS 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and united Kingdom generally Accepted Accounting Practice (united Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 

The law applicable to charities in england and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:- 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that were reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice had been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it was inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees were responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the application Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the trust deed.  They were also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence took reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. legislation in the united Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

TURTLE KEY ARTS ANNUAL REVIEW 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 march 2022 set out on pages 29 to 44. 

## ReSPeCTIve ReSPONSIbIlITIeS OF TRuSTeeS AND INDePeNDeNT eXAmINeR 

As trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## bASIS OF INDePeNDeNT eXAmINeR’S STATemeNT 

my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioner. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## INDePeNDeNT eXAmINeR’S STATemeNT 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements: 

a) to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 

- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

bASIS OF PRePARATION OF 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 january 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the uK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts 

## INCOme AND eXPeNDITuRe 

All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met: 

- there is a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event 

- it is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement 

- the amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

Irrecoverable vAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. 

Direct charitable expenditure comprises all expenditure relating directly to the activities. Support costs and consultants fees are allocated to the activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of the resource. 

governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of the charity and are primarily associated with constitutional compliance and statutory requirements. Overheads are the costs of running the charity not attributable to specific projects. 

Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration, and professional fees. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on an appropriate basis. 

The costs of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities or the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the charity’s objects. Fundraising costs include expenses for fundraising activities. 

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs.

The Trust relies mainly on consultants which the Trustees believe to be more cost effective.  much of the work of the Charity is undertaken by some of the Trustees, however none of the Trustees received remuneration (2021: £Nil) nor did they have expenses reimbursed by the Trust (2021: £Nil).

## 10b. ReSTRICTeD FuNDS (continued) 

The Trustees are confident that the expected ongoing project income and funding will cover any negative balances on restricted funds. Due to the impact of COvID 19 in the prior year, some of our project activity, particularly our work with collaborators, was delayed or postponed until we were able to undertake the work again, from late spring of last year. Therefore, some project funding received was deferred and carried forward into this financial year. 

As always, these projects are supported administratively by funding for the core objectives of the charity. 

## The nature and purpose of each fund is as follows:- 

## geNeRAl FuNDS – uNReSTRICTeD 

Designated funds represent unrestricted reserves where Trustees have made an internal decision to set aside specific funds for future projects and budgeted core costs that fall outside of their commitment to maintain free reserves to meet the day to day running needs of the charity. These funds also include allocated reserves in place in the event of the charity needing to wind down operations. This amount is calculated at three months running costs and is reviewed annually. 

This fund is used predominantly to cover the administration costs and to increase the profile of the work of the organisation as well as covering the staff and consultant costs of the organisation.
