**SCARABEUS THEATRE** 

## **(A registered charity and company limited by guarantee)** 

## **DIRECTORS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023** 

The truste 

charity for the year ended 31st March 2023, which are also prepared to meet the req report and Companies Act purposes. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements 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). 

## **OUR PURPOSE AND ACTIVITIES** 

The main objects of the charity are to promote, maintain, improve and advance education primarily through the dramatic arts. 

Scarabeus mission statements says: 

- be artistically adventurous, push boundaries and nurture creativity and innovation; 

- challenge and connect with our audiences through bold, inspiring aerial performances that interpret urgent contemporary issues; 

- increase self-confidence and encourage a positive sense of community among children, young people and families. 

Over 800 children, young people and adults took part in our participation activities which are offered free of charge to individuals and at very low cost to schools thereby enabling the participants to engage in arts activities they would normally not be able to enjoy. All the schools we work with have a large intake of children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Scarabeus regards itself as a catalyst towards social cohesion and change with ives. We are committed to provide innovative and excellent participatory opportunities, through performances, residencies and workshops in schools and community settings, focusing mainly on disadvantaged children, young people and their families. We are contributing to fostering a new generation of artists, inspiring creativity, wellbeing and self-confidence. 

## **ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCE** 

Charity. We were teamed up with Sebastian Whyte from Whispering Rebel films who made a small film called Song Bird based around thoughts and feelings gathered from our young people. The result was a beautiful short film partly set in Caxton House and partly set in a wood in Kent. It was a fantastic experience for our young people who got to show off their skills in a very artistic way. After the Summer term we unfortunately had to pause the Take and we had not been able to secure funding to replace it. Towards the end of the 22/23 we secured enough funding to start up Take Flight again which started in August 2023. 

We were finally able to roll out our Flying into Physics programme in full since the pandemic started. in the Summer term. We did our first practical version in All Saints CofE school in N20, and throughout the year we did a mixture of demonstration and practical version to 12 different schools in Islington, Camden, Barnet and Brent reaching a total of 480 children. 

The Flying into Physics programme was made possible by 3-year grants f and The Armourers and Brasiers Gauntlet Trust as well as one off grants from Garfield Weston Foundation, The Ogden Trust, AG Manly Trust and The Vintners Foundation. 

Flying Families funded by the National Lottery kept rolling out, with one school per term offering aerial skills to families with challenging circumstances. We reached a total of 117 adults and children. Part of the National Lottery grant for Flying Families enabled us to purchase a new Ford Transit mild hybrid van which was also partly funded by The Morris Charitable Trust.

## **DIRECTORS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023** 

We received funding from Paul Hamlyn Foundation for a pilot project, Shifting Point, in primary schools to work with children around the healthy relat curriculum, in partnership with Tender; an organisation who already works in schools raising awareness around abusive relationships. 

The big highlight of our year was Emerging, a show about a young trans person and his relationship with his mother as they embark on a journey together. The show was very close to home as the story was about Daniela our Artistic Director and Naissa her trans son. We were awarded grants from Arts Council England (£82,000) and Foyle Foundation (£15,000). The production received commissions from The Lowry Theatre and London International Mime Festival. Rehearsals started in August, partly at Jacksons Lane Theatre, who supported the project, and at The National Centre for Circus Arts. The show opened on the 7th & 8th of October at The Lowry Theatre in Salford to huge critical acclaim. Unfortunately, due to health concerns the planned tour had to be cancelled. We repurposed some of the remaining grant to support and give a platform to young and upcoming artists from the LGBTQ+ community, working in partnership with Jacksons Lane Theatre, we works performed at two scratch-nights, followed by a screening of the Emerging performance, filmed at opening at The Lowry Theatre in October. The artists commissioned was Tough Boys Dance Collective, Izzy Bloomer and Jetsün. 

We also ran workshops as part of the ongoing Emerging work, with Gendered Intelligence, and taught a masterclass at Greentop Circus, Sheffield. 

Over 1000 people enjoyed the Emerging performance either as live audience or online. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity ic benefit: running a charity (PD2). The achievements and activities above demonstrate the public benefit arising through 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The Statement of Financial Activities showed net surplus of £28,870 (2022 - £30,408) for the year and reserves stand at £163,254 (2022 - £134,383). The financial position at the year revealed by the Balance Sheet on page 9 shows net current assets or working capital of £131,954 (2022 £133,782). The net book value of fixed assets held, all of which are used directly for charitable purposes, amounted to £31,300 (2022 £601). 

## **Investment powers and policy** 

The Memorandum and Articles of Association authorises the Trustees to expend the funds of the Charity in such manner as they shall consider most beneficial for the achievement of the objects and to invest in the name of the Charity such part of the funds as they may see fit and to direct the sale or transposition of any such investments and to expend the proceeds of any such sale in furtherance of the objects of the charity.  Currently the Charity has no investments. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity aims to hold a reserve £30,000 which is the equivalent of 3 months running costs. The reserves policy as agreed by Trustees is designed to reflect the underlying risks facing the charity and to ensure that the charity has an appropriate level of reserves to safeguard its day to day operations from disruption at short notice due to a lack of available funds.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **1.6 Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities.  Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Trust ivities.  These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.  The basis on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 7.

## **1.14 Judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the accounting policies, the charity is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are 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 underling assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
