Magpie Dance

Trustees’ Report

Activities in 2020-2021

Magpie Dance operates in Bromley and South East London. Its activities fall into the following strands: participation, artistic programming, performance and training. The main activities which it has undertaken in the reporting period in order to fulfil its aims and objectives are described in this report in relation to each strand separately.

1. Participation

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we adapted our weekly sessions to digital, launching ‘Virtually Magpie’ on the 11 May — a programme of accessible digital dance tutorials for the rest of the Summer term 2020 which consisted of 3 sessions (‘technique at 10am’, ‘midday movers’ and ‘film at four’) daily Monday-Saturday,

Within this programme, one of the sessions focused on the theme of technology and enabled participants to continue the work they had started as part of Luca Silvestrini’s Protein Reimagine project. The Tuesday Film at Four series also showed behind-the-scenes footage of projects and partnerships that had taken place, prior to lockdown.

We ran the postponed Easter School 2020 at the end of August, and the postponed Summer school in the October (2020) half term — both via zoom. By Autumn 2020, after having piloted live sessions with our Dancer Development Course in the Stummer, we successfully launched our regular weekly sessions ‘live’ on Zoom (as well as running 4 accessible online tutorials for those who did not want to participate live), which continued to Spring 2021.

Our weekly sessions prior to lockdown were:

Magpie Adult Community (MC) Sessions (up to 60 people): Two weekly open community sessions in Orpington and Bromley for adults with learning disabilities and their support workers to improve their health through increased access to regular dance activities.

Magpie Adult Choreographers (MAC) sessions (up to 40 people): Two weekly sessions were delivered for Adult participants to develop technique and devise new work. This group has expanded through participants graduating from the youth technique group. These sessions explored different artistic mediums as a springboard for creative work, with the intent for it to lead to new choreography.

Magpie Youth (MY), Magpie Youth Technique (MYT), Magpie Junior (MJ) and Magple Mini (MM) sessions The Magpie Youth, Junior and Mini dance activities for young people aged 16-25, 8-15 and 3-7 respectively delivered regular dance sessions to young people with learning disabilities in Bromley, Beckenham and Catford, with participants attending from neighbouring boroughs, Bexley, Southwark and Dartford. Additional sessions were delivered for participants 16 to 25 to develop their technique and devise new performances pieces. For children and young people who live away during the week and are unable to attend regular classes, we delivered an Easter and summer school (both ‘virtually’) to 53 children and young people with learning disabilities.

Magpie Adult Technique (MAT) Ballet

These sessions are aimed at adults aged 18+ with and without learning disabilities who wish to commit to exploring dance further by leatning specific dance styles and techniques in a safe and inclusive environment.

Magpie Adult Technique (MAT) Contemporary and Bedy Conditioning

These sessions were delivered at The Melvin Centre in Penge, to local residents aged 18+ with and without a learning disabilities.

During the pandemic, Dancer Development Course students continued weekly sessions on Zoom and produced multiple dance films, They worked with a number of visiting artists including Federico Bonelli, Hikaru Kobayashi (Royal Ballet), Laurel Dalley Smith (Martha Graham Dance Company) and Luca Silvestrini (Protein).

Saturday Skills

| |

These drop-in sessions began in January 2021 offering support to anyone wanting to learn new skills whilst working online. Open to all ages, participants attend independently or with parents, carers or siblings. Each week, participants learnt how to use technology in new ways, created costumes or props and shared ideas and thoughts about dance pieces and Magpie Dance’s future plans. Sessions included:

|

Artistic Projects and Public performance are an important part of Magpie Dance's ambitions to showcase the work of people with learning disabilities.

The past four years has seen the reshaping of Magpie Dance’s artistic focus, with the Introduction of a four-year Artistic Plan as our vehicle for growth, At its core, the aim of the Artistic Plan is to make Magpie Dance a highly relevant, ambitious and sustainable organisation. Launched in 2018, the plan introduced four annual artistic themes, kick started by the First World War Centenary project entitled ‘Hidden Impact’ in 2018/19 followed by Technology for 2019/20 and Dance in Culture for 2020/21. The time frames for 2020 have been extended due to the Covid-19 pandemic — so Technology extended to 2020/21 with Dance in Culture moved to 2021/22.

Magpie Dance

Trustees’ Report

We held two major online performances, one at the end of December 2020 entitled ‘Don’t Stop Us Now!’ and another in March 2021 entitled ‘Re: Imagination... Welcome to Wonderland’. These performances were interactive and included party packs and programmes (posted to audience members), edited films, live facilitation by our dancers as well as our own team of facilitators - the list goes on! It was a Magpie Dance team effort and the passion from our team, dancers and families made them the fun interactive performances that they were — and they were just what we needed to lift spirits.

The Artistic Director will be responsible for continuing to drive and evolve this new artistic way of working.

3, Training Magple Dance continues to be a recognised school and affiliate of the CDMT dance provision for all of its CPD provision this year, For the first time, we gained the ‘London Youth Bronze Award’ (in Summer 2020) which means the work we undertake has been given a quality assurance stamp of approval,

In 2020/21 our training strands included:

The Inclusive Dance Practice Tralning (IDPT) Scheme: The IDPT is our in-house training programme teaching trainees the Magpie method and approaches to inclusive dance. This was put on hold due to lockdown,

Peer mentoring: We continued to position training at the centre of all our work, with peer mentoring schemes across the youth and adult groups allowing individuals to develop their skills further through three learning modules, Three people with learning disabilities undertook their Peer Mentoring programme, which offers opportunities for participants to take responsible roles, and to support and mentor others, but was put on hold right at the beginning of this f/y due to lockdown,

Training workshops for schools, professional arts organisations, health organisations, and national charities: Magpie Dance is a recognised inclusive dance training provider. It is experienced at delivering training for dance professionals wishing to gain a deeper understanding of inclusive darice and specifically learning disability, and for training teachers to equip them with a greater skillset and knowledge base for working inclusively with students with and without disability. People with learning disabilities take lead roles as part of Magpie Dance's training teams to deliver inclusive training and dance workshops - which for this year, most external workshops were put on hold due to the pandemic — however we presented some virtual opportunities, such as a fun Queen of Hearts workshop on the 14th February, a floor barre class In our Body Conditioning session delivered by Hikaru Kobayashi and Federico Bonelli (Royal Ballet), a Graham Technique masterclass (with our Dancer Development and Magpie Adult Choreographer dancers) by a company member of Martha Graham Dance Company, a ballet class delivered by David Pickering MBE from the Royal Opera House and a visit from Luca Silvestrini from Protein Dance to name but a few ~ all online. We also galned the opportunity to collaborate over-seas such as with Propeller Dance Company, a similar organisation to us based in Canada. We look forward to more international partnerships as we approach our next Artistic theme; Global Moves and Grooves.

Magpie Dance exercises a policy of equal and fair access. While the high cost of delivering our high quality inclusive programmes necessitates the charging of fees, our policy ensures that no one Is turned away.

Risks of physical injury or hate crime are minimised by the charity's overarching Health & Safety, Safeguarding, E-mail Internet & Social Media, Equality & Diversity Policies and its Code of Conduct. Nor do its activities routinely give rise to any personal benefits, whether to the Trustees or otherwise. In the unlikely event that this should occur, the charity has adopted Anti-Bribery and Conflict of Interest Policies to cover such situations.

Magpie Dance Trustees’ Report

Ensuring Magpie Dance's work delivers our aims

The board reviews Magpie Dance's aims, objectives and activities each year. The review looks at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. It also monitors the success of each key activity and the benefits it has brought to the groups of people that the charity was established to help. This review also helps the board to ensure that Magpie Dance's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set, and the Charity’s financial sustainability in the coming year.

About Magpie Dance's future

The past four years have brought about significant structural, artistic and strategic change. To support this transition process, Magpie Dance’s new Business Plan for 2020 to 2024 provides a clear set of strategic priorities driving Magple Dance’s work and ambitions. This includes a four-year Artistic Development Plan (ADP) with four annual themes running alongside the business plan. The new business plan focuses on by stabilising and our core offer of dance sessions to pasticipants, building a sustainable, long term fundraising and income generation strategy, extending formal partnerships across the arts and soclal sectors and building credible professional and artistic progression pathways for participants.

During this financial year, a number of restrictions were introduced by HM Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure that we continued to deliver public benefit, we introduced a new series of pre-recorded and live online sessions. We will continue to operate in this way and remain flexible in the light of developing guidance until such time as it is safe to resume activities on our normal basis — our business plan will be adapted accordingly.

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND IMPACT

The Board continues to measure Magple Dance's performance in achieving its aims and objectives, although it will be appreciated that the benefits of Magpie Dance's work are largely intangible and incapable of precise measurement.

The long-term benefits of attending our programmes are best communicated through the responses of those who attend. We asked participants and thelr parents/carers how coming to Magpie Dance makes them feel and their main reasons for attending our sessions. The results were:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Magpie Dance

Trustees’ Report

Principal funding sources

The charity has no endowment and depends for its operation exclusively on income from fees, grants and donations.

We were successful in securing another three-year grant from the National Lottery for the period 2019 to 2022, which provides vital core funding across this period. Additional three year grants were received from the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Greater London Authority in this financial year, to complement previous three year funding from the City Bridge Trust. This places Magpie Dance in a positive position going forward.

We are also very grateful to the range of funders for the year 2020/21 (detailed in the Accounts below), and the individuals who believe, as we do, in supporting the potential of people with learning disabilities so that they can flourish.

Reserves Policy

It will be appreciated that the charity's sources of income are not assured. The Charity therefore endeavours to retain reserves at a level that will enable it to continue to support those for whom it provides programmes while remaining prudent and responsive to the financial climate.

The Trustees have therefore decided to hold a minimum of three months reserves with the aim of operating with six months reserves. This is so as to permit an orderly winding-up over a six-month period should the Trustees conclude at any time that the charity is no longet able to continue as a going concern.

| | :

|

At 31 March 2021 the level of reserves was £279,577 (2020: £245,919), including £207,106 (2020: £157,365) of unrestricted funds. The unrestricted reserves equate to approximately 8.9 (2020: 5.7) months operating expenditure.

it is the opinion of the Trustees that this level of reserves is both prudent and necessary given the nature of the charity’s objectives and its activities,

|

Despite the COVID-19 pandemrnic, the charity has been able to operate through online activities which have been largely successful with the participants. The charity remains in a strong financial position and the Trustees are satisfled that the charity is a going concern,

Magpie Dance

Trustees’ Report

Organisational Structure

Board of Trustees

Members of the Board of Trusteés

The Board is comprised of the members of the charity. All members of the charity are directors and only members are eligible to become directors. Members of the Board are accordingly directors for the purposes of company law and trustees for the purposes of charity law.

The Board meets five times each year and additionally If necessary.

Trustee recruitment is managed by the People Committee. Vacancies are aclvertised as widely as possible (within financial constraints) to encourage diversity while also attracting candidates with relevant skills and experience. Prospective trustees may also be identified through word of mouth or personal contacts.

Prospective candidates first attend an informal meeting with two or three trustees and the Executive Director. This is followed by an informal interview with members of the Recruitment and People’s Committee, The candidate is then invited to attend a Magpie Dance session and to observe a Board meeting before a formal appointment is made. All Trustees are provided with an induction pack containing documents to assist them in fulfilling their role.

Magpie Dance also organises in-house training for Trustees in sessions that take place on average once each year,

Management

Day-to-day running of the charity is delegated to the senior leadership team comprising of two Co-CEO’s; the Artistic Director and Executive Director. The charity employs a full time Artistic Director, a part-time (4 days a week) Executive Director and a full time Operations Coordinator to devise and deliver Its activities.

They are supported by a team of freelance specialists, including a Finance Manager, a Fundraising and Development Manager and a Fundraising Consultant. Magpie Dance hosts students on work placements on a regular basis and interns from the United States (approximately 1 per year).

The pay and remuneration of all staff are determined by the Board on the recommendation of the People’s Committee based on an assessment of market rates of pay, changes in the cost of living and affordability.

Volunteers

The Charity makes significant use of volunteers. They assist in two main areas: direct assistance in the provision of dance sessions and performances, and ad-hoc assistance in the day to day running of the Charity, including marketing and administration.

Magpie Dance

Trustees' Report

Governance Review

The Policies, Procedures & Governance Committee carries out an annual review of governance to ensure that the charity is properly governed and that the Board properly understands its role and provides effective leadership in a transparent and accountable fashion. The review is carried out by reference to published guidance from the voluntary sector including, most recently, the Charity Governance Code for Smaller Charities. Active consideration is being given to devising suitable parameters by which to measure the effectiveness and the performance of the Board.

|

Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects, Detailed policies and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with legislation and best practice covering, for example, health, safety, and safeguarding as appropriate of staff, volunteers, and participants. These policles and procedures are available via request on the Magpie Dance website. Al} policies are reviewed at least annually throughout the cycle of Board Meetings to ensure that they remain fit for purpose and are properly owned by the organisation.

| |

The Trustees have used the period of lockdown (2020) to review and revise Magpie Dance’s risk register to ensure that it reflects the organisations activities and priorities.

The main risk for the charity is loss of funding. To mitigate this risk, the Charity works continuously to maintain good relationships with current funders and constantly seeks new sources of support, trying to gain funding spread over more than one year in order to increase financial stability. The Charity employs a dedicated fundraiser to ensure that funds are forthcoming to sustain the core aspects of our work,

The Trustees have taken out appropriate insurance cover to protect the Trustees against any liabilities they may incur and to cover the Trustees, staff and volunteers for any claims for personal injury and/or damage to property.

Magpie Dance Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees (who are also directors) are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that aré not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates,

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised In the periods in which the estimate is revised where revisions affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revisions affects both current and future perlods.

|

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. in the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity beforé the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until elther those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it Is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlernenit to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

|

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there Is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the usé of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds These are costs incurred In attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It Includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them,

Support costs

Support costs Include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depraciation and amortisation Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for Impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the orlginal terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities,

18 Covid 19

During the year the charity's face to face activities have been affected by the outbreak of COVID 19. We continued to engage with our service users through online dance sessions, phone, email, social media and on our website to maintain all services as the charity had to temporarily close its office. Magpie Dance was able to hold 19 live dance classes on zoom to cover all age groups per week, When participants could not join live zoom classes a series of sessions were posted on YouTube, 3 new sesslons were uploaded each week. The charity has returned to in person sessions, with a provision to join sessions via zoom, If the participant is unable to attend.
