SWALEDALE FESTIVAL

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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

The main objective of the company is to present a programme of high-quality music, arts and walking events in Swaledale, Wensleydale, Arkengarthdale and surrounding areas. To achieve this the company may deliver highquality events, promote education and learning generally and act as an arts development body for the benefit of the community.

Achieving the objectives

The company organises an annual two-week festival, usually starting at the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, with professional musicians and acknowledged local performers, presenting around 50 ticketed concerts. These are in a range of genres spread over more than 25 venues across the three dales and surrounding areas. The commissioning and performance of new works are actively encouraged. The festival programme includes workshops, talks, art exhibitions, poetry, dance, drama and themed walks. The company aims to extend the benefits of musical appreciation and performance across the community, through an outreach programme of workshops and events given by visiting artists for schools and care homes.

Deliverables

In achieving its objectives, the company aims to deliver:

Achievements and performance

The Swaledale Festival (‘the festival’) began with a handful of events in 1972. It has now grown into an awardwinning medium sized rural festival with an intemational reputation for excellence in a wide range of arts activities and commissioning of new work. The festival, which is a registered charity, takes place over two weeks in early summer every year, principally in churches and village halls in the northern dales of Yorkshire. The range of activities delivered in the period was in accordance with that described in the section on achieving the objectives.

The festival brings top artists from all over the world to the area, and there are also significant platforms for talented local performers and up-and-coming young artists. Audiences comprise both residents and visitors from further afield. The festival runs an extensive education and community programme for people of all ages in schools, community centres and care homes.

SWALEDALE FESTIVAL

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Financial review

The Statement of Financial Activities shows an overall surplus of funds for the year of £8,794. This comprises a deficit on unrestricted funds of £14,024 and a surplus on restricted funds of £22,818.

This overall positive result has been achieved notwithstanding a reduction of £19,223 in grant from Arts Council England compared with the amount received in 2024.

The festival comprises ticketed events and others provided without charge, including another full outreach programme in schools and care homes. These outreach events are not charged for and rely on funding from grants and local sponsors.

During the festival's financial year, the staff, events management team and volunteers have all worked at capacity levels to provide the full 2025 programme.

The festival programme is determined well in advance of its delivery in May and June each year. The costs of delivering the programme can be budgeted with a reasonable degree of accuracy. However, the level of income from ticket sales, membership subscriptions, grants and sponsorship cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, expenditure on the festival tends to be incurred in advance of income being generated. Accordingly, the trustees need to maintain an adequate level of cash in reserve to meet the peaks in funding requirements. Under historic operating conditions, the festival has sought to hold cash reserves of at least £70,000 to cover the autumn and winter months during which no funds are generated.

The balance sheet at 30 September 2025 shows cash balances totalling £92,840 and overall reserves of £92,896 compared with £71,205 and £84,102 respectively at 30 September 2024. The reserves at 30 September 2025 include £22,818 earmarked for future festivals.

Eunding the festival

2025 has been a challenging year for the trustees, staff and supporters in terms of funding the festival.

It is evident that the funds available for allocation by Arts Council England (ACE) are increasingly limited. The quality of the festival has facilitated consistent support from ACE. However, early in 2025, the trustees learnt that the level of support the festival can expect from this source is effectively capped at around £50,000. This compares with the amount of over £71,229 obtained for the 2024 festival and over £73,000 initially requested for the 2025 festival.

The implication for the festival is that there is a permanent funding gap each year, currently in the region of £20,000. To address this challenge, the trustees recognised that i) there would be a funding shortfall for 2025 which would need to be covered from historic reserves and ii) there was a need to put in place a fund-raising strategy to underpin future festivals. This new strategy comprised three main elements:

  1. Bringing forward the submission date for the ACE application by 3 months from September to June to obtain an earlier view of its willingness to provide support for the 2026 (and subsequent) festivals.

  2. Setting up and promoting a Festival Future Fund by approaching existing friends, angels and sponsors to make additional discretionary contributions.

  3. Appointing a consultant to identify new sources of funding and assist in funding applications.

The results of the initiative have been positive so far:

  1. On 19 September 2025 we heard that our application for over £50,000 in support for the 2026 festival was approved by ACE.

  2. £22,818 had been raised via the Festival Future Fund by 30 September 2025.

  3. £12,651 was generated in additional funding support for the 2025 festival, compared with the budgeted figure of £7,500.

SWALEDALE FESTIVAL

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

  1. A list of potential new funders has been established and an initial application prepared by the funding consultant has yielded a positive outcome. On 23 September 2025 we were informed of £9,574 to support the 2026 festival from the Sustainable Development Fund of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.

Based on the level of reserves at 30 September 2025 and the additional factors mentioned above, the trustees are confident that there are sufficient financial resources to support the planned programme of events for the 2026 festival. However, the continuing success of the festival will be dependant each year on additional support to fill the funding gap to the tune of £20,000.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Elizabeth Bedford (Retired 31 December 2025) Gerry Broadbent fan Evans Mark Golding (Retired 21 September 2025) Marian Knowles (Retired 21 August 2025) Maria Laybourn Susan Miller Neil Stevenson Gavin Young Christopher Curry (Appointed 18 September 2025) Fiona Parker (Appointed 23 October 2025)

All trustees are volunteers and receive no fees or emoluments for their services.

The trustees wish to thank the retiring trustees, Elizabeth Bedford, Marian Knowles and Mark Golding, for their positive contributions in, respectively, managing the friends and angels function, fund-raising and marketing, and for their consistent input to the effective running of the festival over the periods of their service (Elizabeth 11 Years, Marian 9 years, Mark 7 years). Fiona Parker has been appointed to take over the friends and angels function from Elizabeth.

Gavin Young becamea trustee in 2005 and was appointed Secretary in 2006, a position he has held since that time. He is a solicitor, now retired. He has offered himself for re-election as a trustee every three years. He has also offered himself for re-appointment as secretary every year at the annual general meeting (AGM). The board has been aware that re-appointments of more than 9 years require a particularly rigorous review and should consider the need for progressive refreshing of the board.

The trustees are pleased that Chris Curry has also agreed to join their ranks. Aged 33, Chris is Swaledale born and is already well-known to many festival goers for his participation in the festival as a volunteer and member of the events management team. He is a leading light in the Swaledale Mountain Rescue team and runs a forestry and arboriculture business which includes responsibility for managing over 4000 acres of woodland locally.

All trustees are volunteers and receive no fees or emoluments for their services in this capacity. Chris Curry will continue to be a member of the events management team and be paid for his services on equivalent terms to the other members of that team.

SWALEDALE FESTIVAL

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Artistic Vision Summary

The festival has established a reputation which goes far beyond its setting in the rural North Yorkshire Dales. That reputation is built on a vision of first-class, exciting music and arts which inspire and challenge artists and audiences alike and which both celebrate and transcend the setting. The company re-affirms that vision and has further developed the festival through a vigorous programme of community and educational activity.

Professionals

Fraser Wilson took over the role of Artistic Director in October 2024 following the retirement of Malcolm Creese at the end of the 2024 festival. The programme for 2025 was established by Malcolm Creese and delivered under the’ stewardship of Fraser. He has produced the innovative and exciting programme for 2026 that was approved for support by Arts Council England on 23 September 2025.

Staff

Heather Hodgson retired during the year. The trustees wish to thank Heather for her many years of service, especially for her hands-on input in running the festival's outreach programme.

Now, we are reduced to two loyal part-time members of the administrative team, Emily Rowe Rawlence and Rosie Cattermole. They maintain and develop our marketing and publicity, deal with accounting, budgeting, and grant applications, manage the box office function, and support the outreach programme.

Leading up to and during the period of the festival, we use the services of an events team of three for production support and artistic liaison.

Volunteers and Friends

The festival now has around 75 active volunteers who assist mainly during the festival fortnight. They host and transport artists, distribute and replenish publicity, steward at events, and lead walks. Most of the volunteers support several events or activities.

Office

The company occupies an office in Hudson House, Reeth (a community building) under an annual licence. Diversity

During the periods of lockdown, the festival's second diversity audit was produced. This set out the ethnicity and diversity of the visiting artists and composers who were commissioned in 2022. In compiling the audit, much was learnt about the development of programmes. Based on this initiative a policy for equality, diversity, equity, fairness and inclusion has been developed. The principles underpinning the policy commit the festival to:

SWALEDALE FESTIVAL

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Sustainability

Sustainability is central to Swaledale Festival, from the planning and organisation of its programme to the exploration of the environment through events and walks, especially relevant due to the festival's location in the precious and iconic Yorkshire Dales National Park.

One of the festival's trustees has designated responsibility for sustainability and we have adopted an environment policy which is refreshed every three years. Putting the policy into effect has included the following actions: Minimising the impact on the environment. * To reduce our carbon footprint, we use existing venues such as churches and village halls rather than erecting temporary ones for a few days.

Journey-sharing

Swaledale Festival takes place in a multitude of venues across a vast area rather than in one town or location. We recognise that many festival-goers travel by car, and that these journeys have an environmental impact. We strongly encourage festival-goers to car-share, both to reduce emissions and the pressure on parking spaces in Dales villages. In 2025 buses were provided to transport event attendees to some of the more remote performance locations. This initiative proved popular and will be repeated in the 2026 festival.

Each year we strive to include a number of events in the programme that reflect on sustainability and climate. The sell-out walks explore local wildflower habitats, rivers, wildlife, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and more. Previous Festivals have included "climate-composer" Tim Kliphuis, astronomy celebrating the Dales’ dark skies, puppet-making workshops using sustainable materials and art exhibitions inspired by the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

SWALEDALE FESTIVAL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Charity information

Swaledale Festival is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Hudson House, Reeth, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL1 6TB.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)" (‘the SORP'’). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set cut below.

1.2. Going concern At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Grant income is recognised when receivable except when performance conditions have not yet been met.

Income is deferred where the performance conditions have not been met.
