Local artist Tasawar Bashir produced a soundscape from interviews he collected. logelher with oral histories which were gathered by spoken word artisl Nafeesa Hamid and Sampad staff. These memories were also added to the National Ar¢hive. meaning Ihe personal experiences of members of the South Asian cornmunily were captured and stored for fulure generations alongside the experiences of those from the many different communltles in England today.

SAMPAD (SOUTH ASIAN ARTS DEVELOPMENT) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2024 - Creatlng the Workforce for the Future- Internshlps & Tralnee Producers We recognise that disappointingly there continues to be an under representation of black and Asian people working in the arts and heritage sectors. Sampad plays its part in developing this lalent for the sector as a whole and so we continue to deliver opportunities to train young people wishing to start and develop a career in the arts and heritage sectors. In 2023-24 we had 2 interns from University of Birmingham. In addilion, we secured funding from Birmingham City Council Cultural Leadershp Funding Round foi two part lime Trainee Creative Producefs who had the opportunity to lead on elements of BEDLAM. Sampad Associate Schools and our PRO GATI programmes. Dance Leaders Group Sampad was invited to be a DLG Hub and host a Senior and Youth Ambassador in 2023-24. DLG is an open, independent neOrk of dance professionals and leaders across the West Midlands with a hunger to collaborate and a commitment to inclusion and equality. We were delighted lo have Reena Tailor and Simran Sheemar work with us on this project as the Ambassadors and to encourage th8 South Asian danc8 sector to engage with this network. Fundralslng actlvltles Sampad continu8S te be part of Arts Council England's National Portfolio for the period of 2023-26 whlch gives us a good foundation for our core costs. However, this year Birmingham City Council served a Section 114 Nolice, in effect meaning that their expenditure is higher than their income. Although we received our full grant of £19. 731 for 2023-24, this was cul by 50Yo for 2024-25 and that from 2025-26 by 100%. This in particular impacts our community and learning programmes and will require us to invest furth6r resource in fundraising in order to bridge this gap but also to raise further funds for our ambilious plans for the future. Of the back of this disappointing news however, we ended the year with a large grant award from the Inclusive Communities Fund for our BEDLAM partnership project. Together wilh The Birmingham REP, Midland3 Arts Centie and Red Earth Collective, we were awarded £196. 180. (See below for Future Plans). BEDLAM The BEDLAM project from 2022-23 culminated in May 2023 through an exhibition at Midlands Arts Contre which also featured work by our BEDLAM Partners The Birmingham REP, MAC and Red Earth Collective. The exhibition attracted audiences in excess of 43,000. The exhibilion featured embroidery and woven work, hand made and painted pottery. print making and photography created by participants taking part in creative workshops led by professional artists in our Sparkhill and Chelmsley Wood Wellbeing Hubs. The project was funded & supported by Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust. International Sampad continued its relationship wilh Serendipity Festival, Goa (India) to commission a new work Damaru for presentation at the Festival and in Kolkata in December 2023. This time we worked with FABRIC as a co- commissioner. Damaru brought two exciling young dancers logelher - Shyam Dattani and Nilava Sen under the mentorship and guidance of Morag Deyes and Tanushree Shankar and musicians Shadow & Light to explore human relationships and interplay beeen creation and destruction. silence and sound, allraction and aggression.

SAMPAD {SOUTH ASIAN ARTS DEVELOPMENT) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserdes policy The Sampad Board has considered the guidance published by the Charity Commission in r88P8Ct to reserves and feel it prudent to maintain a level of reserves both to support the ongoing activities of the charitable company and Io establish a buffer against any d8crease in income. Th8 Board has therefore set a policy thal the reserves target should be 9 month5 of expenditure. Due to the long term uncertainties over funding requirements, the organisation looks to hold this level of reserves to enable the organisalion to dynamically manage any period of funding shortfall whilst delivering core acttviti8s and outcomes. The current reserves target is £319.000. Unrestricted reserves are currently £498.842 and therefore the Trustees have committed to spend £179,842 to bring the reserves in line with the policy. The Sampad Board has set aside designated funds of £179,842 (2023.. £170,804) (note 16) towards specific expenditure to sustain and develop Sampad's business aclivities over the nexi 3 years.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SAMPAD {SOUTH ASIAN ARTS DEVELOPMENT) Oplnion We have audited the financial statements of Sampad {South Asian Arts Development) (the 'charitable company,) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balanc& Sheet, the Cash Flow Slatement and notes to the financial statements. including a summary of significanl accounting policies.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS {UK>) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial slatemenls in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Slandard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Concluslons r•latlng to golng concorn In auditing the financial stalements. we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relaling to evenls or conditions th8t, individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Iruslees with respect to going concern are described in the r81evant sections of this report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otheiSe explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assuranc8 conclusion ther80n. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is lo read the other infonnation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is maleiially inconsislenl with the financial slatemenls or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives ris@ to a material mis5latement in the financial statemenls Ihemselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thts other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in Ihis regard. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistenl with the financial stalements. and the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance wilh applicable legal requirement5.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SAMPAD (SOUTH ASIAN ARTS DEVELOPMENT) Matlers on whlch w8 are requlred to report by exceptlon In the lighl of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obt8ined in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept or return8 adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us., or the finanGial stataments are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made- or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. or the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report 01 in preparing the Report of the Trustees. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statemenl of Trustees, Responsibilit8. the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the truslees either intend to liquidate thè charitable company or to c&ase op6rations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 12
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SAMPAD (SOUTH ASIAN ARTS DEVELOPMENT) Our responslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Mi5Statements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence ihe economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of d8lecting irregulaflties. including fraud is detailed below- Enquiring of management and employees. including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to'.- Identifying, evaluating. and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance. Detecling and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they were aware of any actual. suspected, or alleged fraud and. The internal controls established lo mitigate risk relating to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified areas of law and regulation that could reasonably be expected lo have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, discussions with management (as required by auditing standards) and discussed with manag8m8nt the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and iegulations. All identified laws and regulations were communicated throughout the audit team, and they remained alert to any ndicalions of non-compliance throughout the audit. The mosl significant Gonsiderations for the charitable company were as follows: The Charily is subject to laws and regulations that affect the financial statements which include financial reporting legislation (namely The Companies Act 2006), taxation legislation and the Charities Act. We assess8d the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures concerning items recorded in the financial statements. The charity is also subject to other operational laws and regulations where the consequences of non- compliance could have material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements through imposing fines or withdrawal of funding contracts. Areas where this would have an effect include health and safety, Bribery Act 2010. employment law, data protections and child protection legislation (DBS checks for slaff and volunteers). Auditing standards limit Ihe audit procedures to identifying non4ompliance of these laws and regulations to enquiry of management and inspection of regulalory and legal correspondence, rf there is any. Therefore, if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, and audit will not detect the breach. To idenlify risk of material misstatement due to fraud, we carried out discussions amongst the audit team to assess areas where and how fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators. The following areas were idents'fied : Management override of controls through the posling of inappropriate accounting entries or journals We do not believe Iheie is a fraud risk relating the revenue recognitK)n as the revenue is straightforward, with limited opportunity for manipulation. We did not identify any additional fraud risks. We tesled the appropriateness of accounting journals and other adjustments made in the accounls preparalion based on a risk crileria. Page 13
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SAMPAD (SOUTH ASIAN ARTS DEVELOPMENT) Owing to the inherent limitation of the audit . there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have delected some material misstatements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulation is from the events and transaction reflected in the financial statement, the 18ss likely in the inherently limited procedure required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition. as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material missiatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance wilh all laws and regulations. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Audilors.
