STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Governing Documents (Cont.)

Eligibility for membership of the charity, and membership of the Board of Trustees, is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association. There are no restrictions in the governing document on the operation of the charity other than those imposed by general charity law.

Charitable Purpose

Headway Arts’ charitable objectives are ‘to advance education for the public benefit through the promotion of the arts with particular but not exclusive reference to the dramatic arts’.

Principal Activity, Aims and Objectives

In delivering our charitable purpose we strive to offer high quality arts and cultural participation opportunities to communities in Northumberland and beyond.

Our aims are to:

Our values are that:

Structure and Governance

The Board meets a minimum of four times per year and conducts an Annual General Meeting, typically in November.

Detailed written Board reports and an agenda are prepared by the Chief Executive and circulated in advance of meetings.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Recruitment and Appointment of Board of Trustees

Trustees are elected to the Board as necessary, with regard to any specialist skills required on the Board, based on discussions and recommendations offered by Trustees and outside advisors to the organisation. Trustees are re-appointed annually.

Trustee Induction and Training

New Trustees are briefed on their legal obligations under company and charity law, our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the operation of the Board and its decision-making processes, future plans and recent performance to support their understanding of Headway Arts’ activities.

They are encouraged to attend appropriate training, are made aware of Charity Commission publications and online guidance and are encouraged to provide feedback.

Policies on Reserves

The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission.

The Trustees aim to hold a level of Unrestricted Reserves sufficient to meet the costs of essential salaries and overheads for a 3 to 4 month period which would allow for the orderly winding down of the operation in the unlikely event that the Trustees so decided.

At present, the Trustees estimate that the Unrestricted Reserves required for such purposes would be in the range of £40,000 to £50,000.

Headway Arts’ current Unrestricted Reserves are £57,766 at 31 March 2022. Free Reserves, defined as Unrestricted Reserves minus the value of Unrestricted Tangible Fixed Assets, are £48,896.

The Trustees believe that, now that this level has been reached, reserves should be maintained at least at this level to ensure the charity can run efficiently and meet the needs of the beneficiaries.

This policy will be reviewed by the Trustees on an annual basis as part of the charity’s budgeting processes.

The Charity's grant making policies

The charity does not currently engage in grant-making activity.

The contribution of volunteers

The charity makes extensive use of volunteers within its productions and to support its activities.

HEADWAY ARTS (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public Benefit

The Trustees understand and have discussed the implications of the provisions of the Charities Act 2006, which state that all charities must demonstrate that they are established for public benefit and have had due regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The Trustees believe that the charity meets both of the key principles.

Principle 1 - There must be an identifiable benefit, or benefits

Headway Arts’ activities include a core commitment to the promotion of the arts, enabling the personal development of those in our care and providing a benefit to the wider community.

Principle 2 - Benefit must be to the public, or a section of the public.

Engagement in Headway Arts’ productions is open to people of all backgrounds who want to be part of the experience.

Headway Arts’ beneficiaries are therefore entirely appropriate to its aims and the public as a whole benefits from its work.

All of these benefits are clear, evidenced and relate directly to Headway Arts’ aims. In addition, the Trustees do not consider that any significant detriment or harm flows from Headway Arts’ work.

Risk Management

The Trustees of the charity regularly review (at least annually) the major governance, operational and financial risks which the charity faces as part of its annual business planning process and confirm that systems have been established to mitigate these risks.

Headway Arts has a risk management strategy in place which comprises:

These control systems have enabled Headway to return to a strong and stable financial position after experiencing some financial difficulties several years previously.

The Trustees have managed the potential impact of further financial risks by ensuring that:

The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate financial systems and controls and employment policies and practices are now in place.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We began this year still in lockdown and still working remotely with all of our workshop sessions online. We decided at the onset to take a positive approach to lockdown and, looking back, we can see the opportunities it has given us: It has helped us fully integrate a digital approach into our service, enabled us to reach people who are least able to participate because they are housebound or limited by their health/disability, improved the digital inclusion of hard to reach groups and provided our Associate Artists with new challenges to present their way of working in a digital context.

Once again, we received confirmation from Northumberland care services that we maintained sufficient contact with our online workshops to retain our social care contracts for most of our regular attenders. Delayed payments could have caused major cash flow problems had we not manage to secure a good level of reserves in the previous year.

Overall, we have managed to maintain a good financial position this year through the funding we carried over (ie the funding that was for the delayed projects), but project funding opportunities, particular with the smaller trusts and foundations, have been fewer due to the emphasis placed on ensuring less fortunate organisations and services survive the pandemic. We have, however, managed to maintain the organisation and its programme with no financial loss this year and having funding in place for this year (from previous years) has given the organisation opportunity to focus on its development and prioritise tasks which it would not have been able to do under usual circumstances, particularly looking at its future programmes of work.

From May 2021 the STARS! creative arts sessions for learning disabled adults resumed in person, initially outdoors where gentle reintroduction sessions took place, moving to our redesigned storytelling garden funded by NHS Charities Together, before moving back indoors in July. Making the most of this outdoor work our Stars! artists created a short dance film in collaboration with The National Trust Seaton Delaval Hall using the Hall’s grounds as a backdrop. (https://vimeo.com/headwayarts). We also took part in the Seaton Delaval Hall open House event in October alongside 8 other regional companies, with three street theatre pieces inspired by the Hall.

Our Creative Café sessions have resumed as part of our continuing online service thanks to funding from the Northumberland Recovery College. As part of offering a combined service (in person and online) we have carried out significant renovations to the garden at Headway Artspace so it can be used for in person Creative Café sessions and other events in the future.

Our annual Come on Down festival this year was a hybrid event as so many learning-disabled people, being such a vulnerable group health wise, were still isolating. We had live streamed performances, recorded films and groups from across the county joined us for our “Power Sofa’ chats. To date there have been 3,208 viewings.

As with everything else, Covid also affected our ‘Hold Your Peace’ performances which had been devised prior to lockdown. When it became obvious that the performance, which centres around life in a hospital for people with learning disabilities during the First World War, was not going to be able to tour, we adapted it into a radio play/podcast which can be heard at https://vimeo.com/headwayarts Just as we got back into the swing of things after lockdown we were visited by Storm Arwen and lost our roof! The closure of half the building impacted greatly not only on our projects and events, but also on our sales and revenue. Luckily, we had good insurance or we wouldn’t be here now! At the end of the year we are still waiting for the roof to be fixed but happy to be getting on with our work as best as we can.

HEADWAY ARTS (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year (Cont.)

In view of our pending bid to become an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation we joined together with other cultural organisations in the region to commission an audience development plan. We have been meeting to discuss what we want to find out about potential/future audiences, how we could share information about existing audiences and what information already exists in the county. The report includes valuable insights into current and potential audiences for the Arts, which will help us develop and grow.

In November 2022 we were overjoyed to receive funding from the National Lottery Reaching Communities strand for our 3-year disability project Reaching Out. The project really helps us further our mission bringing together disability groups from across Northumberland to address issues of isolation, mental health and resilience through the arts.

Through our continuing work with the Erasmus+ programme, learning disabled artists visited Lisbon to work with disabled performers from Sweden, Poland and Portugal and to prepare for a visit to Blyth later in the year. Next year will be a year of catch up as we push to complete all of our European projects by the end of 2023 when Erasmus+ closes. What will happen to our European partnerships after that time is unknown, but we will keep in touch online and take advantage of any opportunities that arise.

Financial Review

The out-turn for the year is an unrestricted surplus of £7,656 (2021: Surplus £20,799).

The surplus will be added to Unrestricted Reserves, leaving a balance on Unrestricted Funds at 31 March 2022 of £57,766.

The Trustees consider the financial performance of the charity to be satisfactory and would wish to record their appreciation for the diligence and hard work of the staff, management and Board of Trustees during the year.

The Trustees acknowledge that careful financial management will be required on an ongoing basis and will continue to consider the charity’s viability and status as a going concern on a regular basis, undertaking only those projects which best fulfil our charitable objectives and utilise our specialist skills whilst also being economically sound. We continue to be aware of our obligations to all our stakeholders, including staff and creditors.

Principal Funding Sources

Grants received in the year are listed in Note 4 to the accounts.

The charity is grateful to all such funders for their grant support during the year.

HEADWAY ARTS (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The COVID-19 virus has affected all of us and we find ourselves in very different times. The pandemic has not been kind to learning disabled people in the arts sector and we face the very real possibility of losing the all ground we have made over the past 25 years, particularly in terms of inclusion. It is increasingly important we maintain the profile of learning disability arts and ensure access and inclusion are prioritised as we continue to come out of lockdown.

The pandemic brought the service we normally provide to a sharp focus demonstrating not only its valuable role in keeping disabled people creative and included in society, but its value in maintaining good mental health and wellbeing and in helping people to be safe, feel secure and find new routines. We will continue to provide and maintain this valued support and develop our new and exciting projects that look back at where we have been and ahead to where we might go. We are excited to have begun our Arts Council Funded “Beautiful Difference” project will look at people’s similarities, differences and our shared humanity.

Having placed ourselves as the National Centre of Arts and Inclusion we will continue to work regionally, nationally and internationally to find best inclusive practices, quality methodologies and inform national policy debates.

Blyth is undergoing a transformation and Headway Arts will be at the centre of this, ensuring that it meets its key aims over the next five years to build on its work and ensure it has the resources necessary to expand its work in line with both demand and current local and regional plans. We continue to develop the building, seeking funds to refurbish and develop ArtSpace as the contemporary, accessible and inclusive space it deserves to be.

As always, and at the core of everything, Headway Arts remains passionately committed to working with those in the community who are considered hardest to reach, particularly people who are learning disabled, have special needs or with enduring health issues.

HEADWAY ARTS (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 – 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102'), and with the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP FRS 102) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value.

Advantage has been taken of the provisions in the SORP for Charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a statement of cashflows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.

Taxation Status

Headway Arts is a Charity registered under the 1960 Charities Act and is accorded exemption from liability to taxation on its income under S505 Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

Going Concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance related conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, the income is considered probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

13

HEADWAY ARTS (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Capital items costing over £250 are capitalised and included in fixed assets.

Depreciation is provided on any fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the assets over their remaining useful lives as follows:

Impairment of Fixed Assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Financial Instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost where there is a material adjustment.

14

HEADWAY ARTS (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the purposes of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for specific purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor.

Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

There are no significant judgements or estimation uncertainty included within the financial statements.

Pensions

Headway Arts contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme. Further details can be found in Note 8.

For the defined contribution scheme, the amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in respect of pension costs is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the Balance Sheet.
