Trustees’ annual report
for the year ended 31[st] March 2021
The new partnership with Digital Theatre + and Salford University that was established in 2019 led to the commissioning of a filmed version of Negative Space & digital publication.
Dates for Its Hot its Not in Presentations of A String Section in Italy and Spain and Australia were all cancelled / postponed in the latter part of 2019/20 early part of 2020/21.
To counter the demise in live presentations due to Corona the company has shifted from a creation and presentation format to a research and development process using the model of the successful organisational development process 2018/19 to build future initiatives, building networks, research into new sectors (such as Children’s Theatre and Street Theatre), and investing in communication tools for company members to carry our work on the early phases of project development remotely.
To mitigate the immediate financial damages an application to Arts Council England for emergency support was submitted in April 2020 and in May 2020 this application for £27,800 was approved and has supported the company activities through to October 2020.
The company is now in a position to start the creation phases on 2 new projects; funding to support the early phases (i.e remote working and creation periods) will form the basis of activity for the period November 2020 - March 2021.
Many of the presentations that we scheduled to take place during the Corona lockdown have been postponed and we are in contact with our presentation partners to start presenting and creating work again for the 2021/2 & 2022/3 seasons.
At the end of the financial year, the total unrestricted reserves of the charity were £14,802. The restricted funds of the charity were £50,277.
Reserves policy
In the company’s opinion the principle risk to the organisation is the continuation of future funding streams. The policy adopted to mitigate this risk is to work to build up sufficient reserves to cover a minimum of 3 months’ operating costs. The company’s overheads are relatively minimal, and there are no major investments or loans. As a result the directors find the above policy quite adequate
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on March 13 1996 and registered as a charity on April 2, 1996. The charitable company was established under a Memorandum of Association that established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Reckless Sleepers

c Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
d Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
e Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

f Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
h Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
Fixtures and equipment
25% reducing balance

j Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
k Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
l Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2 Legal status of the charity
