## **The Chair’s Introduction**
## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **Welcome to the Milap Festival Trust Annual Report**
During this year, our organisation began to establish the programme that reflects our core values, and respond to the previous year, that changed our organisation, arts sector and the way we work forever. While there were continuing challenges that had been carried forward from the pandemic, it gave us time and perspective to reshape our programme. The board and executive have managed to carefully protect our finances and programme, in order to prepare the relaunch of our core activities. In addition to this, we can also safely navigate any shocks in the short-term. Long-term, our work is focused on long-term development that not only matches our mission and values, but also helps us to develop the income, audience and participation that can sustain the organisation’s growth in the future.
Our talented team has continued to adapt and reshape Milap, and this includes those based in Liverpool, around England and India too. During the year, the organisation moved away from its office at Liverpool Hope University, and works remotely, while exploring the next headquarters, and physical office space for the organisation.
The dedication and work of the Milap staff team, artists and associated team members is central to the ongoing success and performance of the organisation, and we thank each team member for their contribution. On behalf of the whole board, we also want to thank the individuals, partners and trusts who have supported Milap and care for our work – we are indebted to voluntary contributions of time and money, and the support of a network of artists, parents and audience members. We also thank Liverpool City Council for their faith in us, and Arts Council England for its continued investment and confidence in our work. Particularly during the most trying times during the pandemic, our funders were supportive and sympathetic, making sure we were able to survice as an organisation, continue our work, and thrive under new circumstances.
At the end of this financial year, the board is delighted to find Milap Festival Trust in a safe and secure situation, with the funds and set up to enable us to relaunch our programme, engage with new activities, and continue to serve our audiences, participants and artists in the future.
Ravi Nagpaul Chair, Milap Festival Trust

## **RESULTS**
The results for the year are shown in the annexed financial statements.
## **REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS**
Milap Festival Trust (known as Milap) is an Indian Arts and Culture Company, operating nationally and internationally from its base in Liverpool. The organisation does this through year-round performances, festivals, productions, education projects and an artist development programme.
## **MISSION**
To inspire, educate and entertain people of all backgrounds, through a world-class programme of Indian Arts.
## **KEY VALUES**
## **Uniting Hearts Through Arts**
Milap aims to bring people together through the arts programme - this includes artists and audiences, people from diverse backgrounds and geographical areas, and artists, organisations or professionals who may not otherwise work together. Uniting people is a first step towards success.
## **Supporting and empowering artists, organisations and partners**
In order to deliver our mission and aims, we need a strong Indian artists’ sector who are well trained, connected and have the opportunities and support to be successful. To be able to achieve this, a strong education & training programme must continue to develop & grow, especially in areas outside Greater London.
## **A Company culture that values artists, audiences, team members, and partners**
In order to deliver a programme of work that helps to change people’s lives for the better, Milap Festival Trust’s organisational values must also ensure that anyone working with or for it are inspired, uplifted and treated with respect.
## **Excellence in Artistic productions**
Milap will programme new, innovative performances and productions for live and recorded consumption, as well as developing programmes that support artists’ career progression, and a sustained education and outreach agenda that introduces Indian arts to people of all backgrounds. As a developmental organisation, it will also ensure that strategic interventions and support is given to those who need it, in the form of grants, seminars and conferences, information and advice
## **BACKGROUND**
Milap Festival Trust (known as Milap) began life as a weekend festival of Indian Arts in 1985. From its early forays in Indian music and dance performance in Liverpool, the organisation grew into a year-round programme, and achieved charitable status and regular funding in the 1990s from Liverpool City Council and the North West Arts Board. Over the years, the charitable aims developed to include education, artist development and strategy alongside a programme of performances around the country. In order to deliver a programme of work that helps to change people’s lives for the better, Milap’s organisational values must also ensure that anyone working with or for it are inspired, uplifted and treated with respect. In order to deliver our mission and aims, we need to nurture an international network of artists, who are well trained, connected and have the opportunities to be successful. Education and training for everyone underpins this ideal.

## **AIMS 2019-2024**
In 2019, Milap began a 5-year project to renew and revamp the organisation’s work, reach and long-term sustainability. To respond to the challenges faced in 2020-21, the company adapted and developed to face a new future, and the plans put in place for 2021-22 have both represented a major change to annual operations, while still following our core mission and values, and matching the aims of our principal supporters, Arts Council England, and the cultural vision for Liverpool. As such, this business plan closely follows the detailed agenda set out in the 2021-22 Business Plan, by building on that agenda.
In the future, we will have to compete with many different forms of art and entertainment, because of the choices people have. In the short-term, our aim for our audiences, participants and artists is to help them return to the activities that shaped and improved their lives, including live entertainment, artistic engagement and education. In the longer-term, Milap will continue its new approach to producing content, matching new trends in behaviour and the consumption of art and culture. Our challenges will also include the competition for space and attention, finance and resources. To continue the renewal and revamp work started in 2019, and to respond to the challenges of 2020 the company recognises the need to adapt and develop. We also will review and respond to the South Asian dance and music sector mapping study commissioned by Arts Council England, written by Courtney Consulting.
The foundations are being laid in 2021-22 for a new Milap, which is renewed, ambitious, dynamic and relevant, and we will continue this endeavour in 2022-23. Our charity’s programme of work is supported by a strong awareness of environmental responsibility, and the need to engage with diverse voices and people. The work of this year will help Milap to transform its way of working, and engage more successfully with people and places in England.

## **CEO / ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S REPORT**
During this year, Milap moved towards a fully hybrid working model, both in planning and delivery, as well as our public engagement. The exclusively – online programme of the previous year gave way to space for live performances and participation, and towards the end of the year, two live performances marked a new partnership (Tung Auditorium) and the renewal of an existing one (Liverpool International Jazz Festival).
Over the year, Milap produced:

The challenges to artistic planning are considerable, as we prepare, deliver and assess two avenues of work simultaneously, while also considering our core values, mission and activities. Our work was designed to engage new followers and audiences, reconnect with our existing networks, and build a new model for Milap’s development in the future.
This table shows the number of people who were actively engaged in our work – either through learning, participation or another form of direct involvement, and our predictions for the following year, by comparison.

Our strategy in this year was to increase engagement online and in person, and we saw a steady increase in all metrics as seen through social media figures. Our long-term view is to generate a large body of content which helps to define Milap’s role as a producer and presenter, while also supporting the artists during difficult years. In the short-term, we are working towards increased numbers through our online impact.

## **FINANCE, FUTURE STRATEGY AND RESERVES POLICY**
The strategy of the board is to protect against unforeseen events and financial challenges by building a reserve fund that represents a minimum of 3 months of running costs. In addition, designated funds towards equipment purchase and capital expenditure has been earmarked to ensure that the organisation is able to invest in digital and new project resources to face the new approach to Milap’s work in the future, with a focus on productions and online distribution. In turn, this should lead to further income from streaming, sales and other associated use of our music and dance properties. The cancellation and suspension of activities in London, and for our ensembles in residence, added to our strategy of careful expenditure strategic changes to our programme has led to considerable savings in this financial year, which will be carried forward for designated expenditure in the new year. Suspended activities will be resumed or rearranged in the financial year, and the costs of marketing and PR, health and safety protocols and increased costs will be met by our designated funds.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows net income for the year of £75,293, and the charity carries forward a restricted fund balance of £Nil and an unrestricted fund balance of £235,911, of which £145,000 has been designated to the charity’s reserve fund towards expenditure during the next two financial years. This leaves a non-designated unrestricted fund balance of £90,911.
## **RISK REVIEW**
This Board recognises the potential risks that the charity is exposed to particularly those relating to the operations and finances of the organisation. The potential risks are: increased costs due to the impact of the pandemic, cancellations and postponement due to COVID-19 protocols, falling revenue from ticket sales, funding cuts and the increased costs of travel and event management. Systems are being established to mitigate and manage exposure to such risks. Balancing this is our efforts to explore new funding sources as well as internationalisation of our work which will create new funding streams in the next two years.

## **STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the directors should follow best practice and:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **DIRECTORS**
The following were directors of the company for the year under review:
Dr R Nagpaul - Chair Dr U Muthu Mrs R Gatfield Dr H K Um Mr A Gatfield Dr Atulya Nagar Mr K Baird Mr M Patel Dr G Nayak Dr S Muthu

The Milap Festival Trust (Company limited by guarantee and not having share capital)
## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Milap Festival Trust**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees 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. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a member of the ACCA.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charities Commission. 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 the seeking of 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 accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 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.
