The liability of each member is limited to £10. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** Our policy for appointing new trustees is to search out people who have particular skills and characteristics who we feel will want to become similarly committed. The Festival recruits event managers from amongst its Friends Group and other well wishing local people; the Arts Council website offers names of people wishing to become trustees in arts organisations; existing trustees sometimes have interested contacts who are able to offer particular skills. All of these pools are sources for future trustees. ## **Induction and training of new trustees** On appointment the trustees receive a copy of the governing documents and Charity Commission documents regarding trusteeship. New trustees are briefed on the history, background and work of the charity.

The objectives of the charity are achieved through the production of the Ledbury Poetry Festival. ## **Significant activities** The significant activity is the production of the Ledbury Poetry Festival, which occurs every year over a ten day period during the summer months. The event is organised by the directors of the company with the help of a part time paid Festival Director, part time paid Festival Manager, part time paid Finance Manager, part time paid helpers and numerous volunteers. The Festival also runs a year round Poetry in the Community Programme and a Poet in Schools Programme. Both these programmes are subject to funding. ## **Volunteers** This very important group of people are sought from the: Friends of Ledbury Poetry Festival and their friends and neighbours. Unsolicited offers of help from members of the public who simply contact the charity. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** The trustees are aware of the Public Benefit provisions of the Charities Act 2006 and of the guidance on them published by the Charity Commission. They are satisfied that the objects of the charity and the activities of the charity are within the definitions of Charitable Purposes as set down in the Act. The trustees are not aware of any public detriment caused by the charity's objects or activities, and nor are they aware of anyone receiving any private benefit from the charity's activities. Page 2 **LEDBURY POETRY FESTIVAL LIMITED** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (cont) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** ## **Charitable activities** The Festival 2020, celebrating its twenty fourth anniversary, was as vibrant, engaging and accessible as ever, but in an entirely digital way. Despite Covid 19, audiences were able to uncover genuine surprises as well as to experience well-established poets and writers such as Daljit Nagra, Robin Coste Lewis, Danez Smith and Raymond Antrobus. We offered poetry in translation and poet to poet conversations that enthralled our online audiences. The online presence boosted our numbers by 20,000 in 2020, and there was a more than respectable number of participants across schools and community programmes despite the obvious effects of the pandemic. The resilience and adaptability of the Festival was tested, and it thrived, and both staff and trustees, as well as the Festival volunteers, feel confident about the future and ambitious for poetry locally, nationally and internationally. Ledbury Poetry Festival Online was a huge success, especially among poets and the poetry community and interestingly a younger demographic. It kicked off with a special Ledbury Poetry Festival edition of The Verb, on BBC Radio 3. And was followed by a launch with Simon Armitage on Saturday morning and 8 events over Saturday and Sunday, featuring leading American poets, Danez Smith, Kaveh Akbar, Robin Coste Lewis and Cathy Park Hong, plus Will Harris, Raymond Antrobus and Mary Jean Chan. Effective partnerships ensured good audiences and extended reach and publicity, such as a Spanish Translation Duel with Modern Poetry in Translation Magazine, and an event with the Poetry Translation Centre, featuring Eritrean poet Ribka Sibhatu with translator André Naffis-Sahely. There were also events that broadened participation, including a Poetry of the Lockdown reading welcoming poets who had responded to the online open call. Plus, a Ledbury Poetry Competition Winners’ reading, hosted by Daljit Nagra. The Creative Europe partnership continued with a Versopolis reading of European poets from Belgium, Iceland, Georgia and Italy, hosted by Kim Moore. Many of the events had hundreds of people watching from all over the world and the reception was very positive. The crucial thing was that Ledbury Poetry Festival Online was not just a smaller version of the Festival we had planned. Instead it was a series of specially curated events responding to current times, Covid 19, Lockdown and Black Lives Matter. It felt really important to use this new platform for the Festival in a different way, which reflects how the online world is very immediate and responsive to current affairs. The Online Festival led to a sharp increase in website visits, and increased visibility across social media, but especially on Twitter. Also, lots of poets attended to support their fellow poets and many attendees said they hadn’t been able to come to a Festival event before because of disability or distance. It is now certain that Ledbury will continue to have a strong online focus and an annual online festival to complement the physical offering, which in 2021 will celebrate 25 years of Ledbury Poetry Festival! ## **The Community Programme** The Festival’s Community Programme targets demographics least involved in arts and culture, whether through lack of opportunity, or lack of access. When Covid 19 struck in March we quickly moved to online delivery of workshops where we could, so that continuity was maintained and the health and well being aspects of the workshops were still accessible when people needed them most. _Segments_ monthly workshops use museum artefacts from Ledbury’s Butcher Row Museum as inspiration for poetry, often prompting memories and discussions. In lockdown, practitioner Sara Jane Arbury switched to sourcing artefacts from her within own home, covering topics such as “The Vinyl Revolution” and “Bread”. Similarly, _Poetry and Pictures,_ a partnership with Herefordshire Mind mental health charity pivoted to online delivery quickly. The groups explore ekphrastic poetry as a great device for exploring feelings and experiences in a safe and supported environment. The _Young Writers’ Collective_ continued to meet virtually throughout lockdown. Their fantastic film of Lockdown Poems from doorsteps and balconies was featured in the Versopolis Festival of Hope, and in our digital festival launch event, alongside UK poet laureate Simon Armitage. ## **Poets in Schools** The year started with a Young Shakespeare performance of Macbeth for 200 pupils, a series of after-school writing clubs for Ledbury Primary School, and a visit by Richard Osmond to John Masefield High School. This was followed by three Poetry Out Loud, Festival in a Day events at Hellens Manor. 200 pupils from four primary schools and one high school enjoyed intensive days packed with poetry performances, writing workshops and opportunities to showcase their poems, led by Mike Barfield, Matt Black and Jasmine Gardosi. During Lockdown the Festival developed a series of homeschool writing prompts, which were shared directly to schools and families via Facebook. ## **Ledbury Emerging Poetry Critics** In June a new report was released by the Ledbury Poetry Critics Programme in association with Ledbury Poetry Festival and the University of Liverpool’s Centre for New and International Writing. It revealed that poetry reviewing is still too white despite coverage of poets of colour, and coverage by critics of colour, more than doubling in the three years since the launch of Ledbury Poetry Critics which was co-founded by poets Sandeep Parmar and Sarah Howe in 2017. Page 3 ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (cont) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy** In general, activities undertaken by the Festival are matched to the resources available. The company does carry a certain level of overhead, and reserves are needed;- 1. To give trustees time to take action if income falls below expectations 2. To cover troughs in the cash budget due to the unevenness of cash receipts and payments 3. A small contingency fund to meet unforeseen operational costs Following a review of the Festival’s budget, and guided by the nature of the overheads and nearly 20 years of experience, the trustees have concluded that an unrestricted reserve equivalent to 4 months overheads is sufficient to meet these objectives. At the year end the charity had free reserves of £57,616 (2019: £46,203) which is the equivalent of seven months management, governance and finance costs ## **ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD** : S Scott - Director 25 May 2021 Page 4 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEDBURY POETRY FESTIVAL LIMITED** I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st October 2020 set out on pages six to fourteen. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees (who are also the directors 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 required. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law 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 the independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity 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 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 statements below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 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 - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
