## **2020-21 Key Achievements and review** 

At the beginning of this financial year, the whole of the UK was in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One key achievement is the agility and drive of SAA-uk’s small and dynamic team, who moved quickly and harnessed all the digital technologies available to successfully transition to online delivery as soon as the 1[st] lockdown was announced. Both business administration and artistic programmes were in full swing by the 1[st ] of April 2020. The whole team (both employed and freelance staff) were equipped to work remotely using Microsoft Teams and ZOOM, ensuring that we could continue to focus on the organisation’s mission: ‘ _To preserve the traditional and facilitate the contemporary_ ’ and in doing so provide certainty at a time of uncertainty. 

This financial year brought many challenges that had an impact on our delivery, and we had to overcome. One of the main challenges we had to overcome in this difficult year were venue cancellations due to unexpected changes in regulations. Strongly feeling our commitment to offer arts engagement and participation throughout the pandemic, we decided to schedule public events in August and December 2020, which with the lockdown announcements resulted in postponements followed up by cancellations. We overcame this by offering the artists a slot in our online performance series in 2020-21 or our face-toface programme in 2021, and by providing audiences with a wealth of opportunities to connect with our work online through social media, live streams, and our website. 

SAA-uk maintained its policy of delivering high-quality artistic output coupled with financial prudency and aims to deliver another programme of high-quality arts in the 2021-22 financial year, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and financial limitations caused by it. 

- SAA-uk continued to drive itself forward to achieve financial sustainability with investment in its CRM and website to maximize on online giving and efficiency in payment for fees and tickets, 

- SAA-uk Board of Trustee continued provide strong support and governance. 2020-2021 saw the start of revisions to Board Recruitment Strategy and on-going roles, responsibilities, and compliance within board activities, 

- SAA-uk was successful in meeting its non-financial indicators, except for data sharing, due to our performance programme having to be delivered very differently and fully online. 

2020-21 we delivered a successful artistic programme: 

- Performance Programme: 10 online concerts featuring 13 artists (11 of which UK based) in the brand-new Baithak LIVE format, inspired by the tradition of intimate concerts of Indian classical music, usually held in a person's private home with an audience of around 10-30 people; annual Summer Solstice Festival (ninth edition) live streamed on YouTube, and which featured 10 artists from 3 different continents (USA, UK, India). 

- Education Programme: 3 Music and Dance Academies transitioned to ZOOM online from March 2020, sustaining our offer to our participants base in Leeds and Yorkshire, also attracting participants from London and Newcastle. 

- SAA-uk Creative Engagement Programme: ‘Raag & Taal’ online workshops and talks delivered at our academies and other educational institutions. In partnership with Amina Khayyam we made a small investment to deliver ‘Kantha Kathak’ across Leeds. 

   - A project that used embroidery as a medium for people dealing with the effects of the pandemic, to express themselves and be part of a digital community. This work will inspire a new Kathak dance piece that animates the narratives of people’s emotions, experiences, and well-being 5

through the pandemic. 

- Special Projects: Chapel FM’s Music-a-thon provided 13 young talented musicians and students of the SAA-uk academies the opportunity to perform on SAA-uk’s YouTube channel, in collaboration with local radio Chapel FM, and as part of the PRSF funded project “Naari” The Music Mentors Scheme launched in Autumn 2020, offering 4 young gifted and talented musicians to develop unique skills in teaching oral music and develop their own musical talent. ‘Generation 21’ 6-episode podcast series released in May 2020 on all main streaming platforms and the 2[nd] year of the Generation 21 training programme was completed and resulting in both trainees securing employment. 3 new projects were negotiated, and funds secured to be delivered in 2021-22, these include: ‘ _Musical Seasons_ ’, ‘ _Orfeo Re-imagined_ ’ and ‘ _SPOTLIGHT_ ’. 

Our Music and Dance Academies (5 music disciplines, 3 vocals and 2 dance styles) successfully transitioned online, sustaining 122 students attending regularly for 30 weeks of the academic year. The academies did experience a reduction in attendance compared to 2019-20 – at the end of the FY we had just over 200 registered students across on our academies. This must be attributed to the impact of the pandemic: decrease in people’s disposable income, and some participant preferring face-to-face learning. We continue to provide young, talented students of our Academies with opportunities to perform as part of special projects. During the COVID-19 pandemic opportunities for live performances in professional settings were limited. Plans continue to be developed, in line with government guidelines, to ensure our arts and culture offer in live settings can resume in 2021-22 at high quality with everyone, health and wellbeing carefully considered. 

In 2020-21 SAA-uk took the time to hone its own unique selling points: this included a focus on our role as talent development hub, out of which the Music Mentors Scheme and ‘ _SPOTLIGHT_ ’ were born. Through LMEP Innovative Project grant, as well as regular gifts and large individual donations, we were able to set up and launch a pilot Music Mentors Scheme in Autumn 2020. This programme, combining the structure of Silver Arts Awards with the North Indian classical music tradition, engages young talents in the co-creation of new work and encourages them to become inspiring mentors and teachers of the future. ‘ _SPOTLIGHT: shining and light on the underrepresented’_ was successful in securing funds from PRS Foundation, PPL and Youth Music, and become one their 55 national Talent Development Partners for 2021-22. 

‘ _Musical Seasons_ ’ is another opportunity for us to work in partnership, joining NYMAZ, Orchestra’s LIVE, and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in creating original music and digital resources Early Years (0-5) project. This will provide experience and insight into early years works, which will inform our vision of being a renowned talent development hub in the North. The outcome - a series of short music and dance video - will be showcased in nursery schools/early years settings in the North of the UK from September 2021. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Review of financial position** 

The constraints imposed as a response to the Covid 19 pandemic have made considerable impacts on the financial structure of the organisation for this financial year.  In-person instruction in our academies and live concert performances have had to be changed to on-line instruction and performance with a consequent transformation of the cost and income structures.  However, the organisation has managed to continue its high-quality instruction and performance provision and not all the changes have been adverse, for example there have been considerable savings in venue costs. 

SAA-uk had budgeted a small surplus for the year 2020-21, but was able to make a surplus of £20,694, bringing the total reserves to £57,566. 

Arts Council England and Leeds City Council continue to provide funding for the organisation, and we are most grateful for their continuing support. 

Our efforts to reduce our reliance on grant funding and develop new, reliable sources of funds has suffered from the lack of opportunities available in this Covid-hit year and contributed income in the year fell to £8,260 from £25,063 (2019/20).

**South Asian Arts - UK Trustees Annual Report** 

SAA-uk continues to plan to obtain increasing levels of contributed income from grants from trusts and foundations and from the development of new individual giving schemes such as the Alumni & Members Scheme as and when the opportunities become available.

Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities charitable activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.

Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Trade and other debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management. 

## **Trade and other creditors** 

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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.

12 



**South Asian Arts - UK Notes to the Accounts** 

## **Leased assets** 

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. 

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases. 

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. 

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. 

## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services** 

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity. 

## **2 Company status** 

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
