The Trustees confirm that the report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document, and the provisions of "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)). ## **Objectives and Activities** ## **Charitable objects** - 1) to advance and promote the education of the public in the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the arts. - 2) to promote the use of the arts, particularly the creative arts, as a way of: - a) relieving the needs of the poor, sick, disabled, elderly and young people who are in need of care and attention; - b) rehabilitation of offenders; - c) relieving the needs of the unemployed. ## **Vision** For a fair, caring, equal, inclusive, sustainable society in which the creative arts play a transformative role in empowering every individual to fulfil their potential. ## **Mission** To use the creative arts to connect, empower, inspire and upskill society’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable people, raising aspirations, building self-esteem, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing. ## **Core beliefs** - That everyone – regardless of circumstances, behaviour, age, gender, race or disability – deserves the chance to fulfil their potential. - That high-quality creative arts activities connect, empower, inspire and upskill, raising aspirations, building self-esteem, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing. - That everyone has a role to play in making society fairer, more caring more inclusive and more sustainable. ## **Values** Create is a values-driven charity. Our values underpin the way we work with our participants, partners, people and community. They guide the decisions we make and the way we work. - **Creativity** ~ encouraging a creative approach to every area of our performance - **Excellence** ~ seeking to attain the highest standards in all activities - **Valuing the individual** ~ recognising and nurturing each individual's unique talents - **Passion** ~ being passionate in our motivations and performance - **Flexibility** ~ listening and responding creatively to all stakeholders' needs - **Integrity** ~ embedding integrity in all we do ## **Aims** - To tackle inequality by giving society’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable people free access to the benefits of the creative arts. 1 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) - To engage participants in tailored projects led by exceptional professional artists in areas where provision is poor and engagement is low. - To listen to, advocate for and give a voice to participants. - To connect, empower, inspire and upskill participants, developing creativity, raising self-esteem, enriching lives, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing. - To promote the value of creative arts engagement in achieving social outcomes. - To provide high quality, fairly paid work and CPD to a diverse pool of professional artists. - To help create a society that is fairer, more caring, more inclusive and more sustainable. ## **Create is the UK’s leading charity empowering lives, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing through the creative arts** We know that unleashing creativity ignites imaginations, develops confidence and builds relationships. Like setting off a firework, our professional artists light the touch paper and our participants discover newfound self-belief and a desire to try more, do more and be more. We are a national charity that champions local priorities by collaborating with our partners to tailor every project to each individual’s needs. We believe that everyone – regardless of circumstances, behaviour, age, gender, race or disability – deserves the chance to fulfil their potential. Most projects are collaborations with community partners, which have specialist knowledge of local priorities and the participants that they exist to serve. Our focus is on engaging the most marginalised participants in inspiring, sustainable arts programmes – delivered in familiar settings where they feel comfortable and safe – in areas where provision is poor and engagement in the arts is low. We prioritise our work with seven participant groups: young patients; disabled children and adults; young and adult carers; schoolchildren (and their teachers) in areas of deprivation; vulnerable older people; young and adult prisoners (and their families); and marginalised children and adults (eg homeless people, LGBTQ+ young people, young refugees and asylum seekers). In response to the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, we designed Create Live!, a new project concept using Zoom to deliver high quality, live, interactive, collaborative creative workshops that are fun, build skills and reduce isolation. Our partners can now choose to receive our projects digitally, invenue or a blend of the two. Since Create was founded in July 2003, we have run 12,057 creative arts workshops that have delivered 330,943 contact hours as part of sustained, life-changing programmes with 41,539 participants. Some of our programmes are developed and delivered in partnership with the business community, helping to meet their Corporate Responsibility priorities. Every project we deliver is rigorously evaluated because we’re passionate about providing inspiring and empowering creative experiences that have a lasting impact. We also evaluate the longer-term impact of our work through the _Making it Matter_ initiative, which revisits up to two projects each year, 6-24 months after they took place. We know from experience that drama can build an isolated young carer’s self-esteem, that storytelling can strengthen the bond between a young offender and the loved ones waiting for him at home, and that music can help ease the anguish felt by the parent of a child with a life-limiting condition. One spark of creative energy opens up a world of positive opportunities. Create lights that spark. 2 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) ## **Public Benefit** In setting Create’s objectives and planning its activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. As noted throughout this report, the charity’s work is directed towards the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in society and outcomes for the public benefit are recorded here in detail. ## **Project participants** To fulfil Create’s commitment to working with the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people, each potential community partner is carefully researched to assess the extent to which it enables the charity to meet this objective. Where applicable, Create uses poverty indices and government statistics on areas of deprivation, together with the government’s levelling up / Arts Council England’s under-provided priority places, to find the geographical areas of greatest need. When choosing schools, it also considers the percentage of children who bring pupil premium / are entitled to free school meals (key poverty indicators), use English as an additional language or have special educational needs. The level of vulnerability of the participants is always a key consideration, as is the extent to which the community partner already benefits from provision by other external agencies. Create’s preference is to work with organisations that are under-served. In 2021/22, 1,367 participants directly benefited from Create’s projects. These included: young psychiatric hospital patients; young, young adult and adult carers; children and adults with mental illhealth; disabled children and adults; young asylum seekers and refugees; LGBTQ+ young people; homeless adults; prisoners and their children; inner-city schoolchildren; and isolated older people. Create worked with (where data provided): ## **Volunteers** 55 volunteers donated 571 hours of their time to Create: using their skills and enthusiasm to support participants in Create workshops; and providing expert guidance as Trustees or Advisory, Communications, Creative or Development Council members. Pro bono communications support was donated by Contagious; HR software by Breathe. Pro bono support for Create’s office move in 12/21 was given by Reed Smith LLP (legal) and Vail Williams LLP (property advice). Furniture was donated by Balfour Beatty and Encore Environment Ltd via ProjectDIVERT. **Achievements and Performance** 3 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) Forty-eight professional Create artists ran 18 programmes (an umbrella body of work) within which 65 projects (a series of workshops with one or more community partners) were designed. These delivered 981 workshops/13,439 contact hours with 1,367 participants; and were rated “successful overall” by 99% of community partner staff. COVID-19 had a profound effect on Create’s participants, many of whom were already experiencing social isolation/poor mental wellbeing. When the pandemic first hit, Create reimagined all its projects for online delivery. Create Live! – the online delivery mechanism launched in April 2020, just two weeks after the first lockdown – enabled Create to continue to reach participants who were unable to attend projects in-venue. This work was recognised by Charity Times, which chose Create as the recipient of its prestigious _Digital Transformation of the Year_ award in 09/21. As the pandemic eased, partners and participants were offered a hybrid model, enabling them to choose either an in-venue project or an online one, based on participant need, comfort and safety. Online delivery also enabled Create to deliver impactful projects in Scotland and Wales in 2021/22, as well as to those who were unable to leave home or access a venue. During the year, Create established a new hub in Manchester, enabling the charity to expand its work across the North, in line with its ambitious target to double its reach and impact by its 25[th] anniversary in 2028. Once pandemic restrictions lifted, Create was able to return to prison, with the launch of a groundbreaking project called _My Dad’s In Prison_ . Through creative writing and illustration, prisoners at HMP Oakwood in Staffordshire created a moving book to support families with a loved one in prison. In October 2021, Create brought together disabled and non-disabled children from four schools in Manchester and Salford to make music on the theme of “modern day superheroes”, as part of its flagship programme, _creative:connection_ . Working with four of the charity’s professional musicians, this gave students a chance to be creative and to build connections, breaking down barriers and prejudices around disability. The project culminated in a dynamic concert at Manchester Central Library on 22/10/21, as part of Manchester Literature Festival. To mark Young Carers Action Day (YCAD) on 16/03/22, Create teamed up with Carers Trust to deliver four creative projects with young carers in England, Scotland and Wales. Using the theme of “taking action on isolation”, the young carers choreographed dances, took photographs and made music during the February half-term, before coming together on YCAD itself for an online showcase. This celebrated their work and, and put their talent centre stage. Photography and writing created during _Speak With My Voice_ by adults who attend Deptford Reach - and are vulnerable through homelessness, mental ill-health, loneliness, social exclusion and severe poverty – was displayed in an exhibition at Deptford Lounge in 12/21. This raised their self-esteem and gave them a voice. Create is committed at all levels to rigorous, honest evaluation. Each project is individually designed to meet partners’ unique needs; clear, relevant intended outputs/outcomes are agreed; and the project is then evaluated against these. Planning and debrief meetings start and conclude each project and Create has a 100% feedback policy, with feedback being collected wherever possible from all participants, community partner staff, volunteers and Create artists. Projects are monitored through verbal feedback circles, communication, observation of workshops and written response through questionnaires; and qualitative and quantitative feedback is used by Create to produce an evaluation report that assesses the extent to which the intended outputs/outcomes have been met. This is the primary means by which 4 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) formal feedback from each project is disseminated, reports being sent to the community partners, artists and funders, and used by Create in the planning of all future projects. As part of the evaluation process, community partner staff and participants are asked to rate the success of Create’s projects in enabling the participants to develop a range of key skills and enhanced wellbeing, and to appraise the success/enjoyment of their project overall. The results across all projects during the year, shown in the graph below, demonstrate that participants’ skill development was rated successful by between 90% and 99% of community partner staff and by 71% and 91% of participants. **----- Start of picture text -----**

Create invested in training for staff and artists on the climate emergency. Four senior staff members and five artists completed Al Gore’s Climate Reality Leadership training in October 2021, which provided key information and tools to help raise awareness of/take action in response to the climate emergency. These learnings are being fed into project planning/delivery and organisational strategy. Create also provided its artists and project team with free learning, skill-building and networking opportunities at Artist Sharing events that took place in May and November. With external speakers and artist-led workshops, these sessions focused on delivering projects about the climate emergency. Artists commented: _“It really clearly showed us statistics on the effects of climate change and what we can do immediately to stop it. I also learnt a lot about just how much it's affecting the entire world now more than ever with floods and fires etc.” “I enjoyed thinking about landscapes and integrating that with ourselves. Perhaps it's a good exercise in reminding people that we are not separate from the environment." “Having recently worked with sculpture and assemblage in my own practice it was great to receive a workshop on the topic to go over all the wonderful possibilities of art materials that are available and how they can be utilised through playful exploration.”_ Create ran the sixth year of _Nurturing Talent_ , a programme over 12 months designed to upskill emerging artists who wish to combine their professional artistic practice with creative workshop delivery in community settings. _Nurturing Talent_ gave seven emerging artists the opportunity to work as supporting artists on a range of projects, attend professional development training days and work in pairs/small groups to design and deliver their own workshop in a community setting. Each artist received a bursary and collectively supported 224 workshops across the year, further enhancing the participants’ experience. One Nurturing Talenter commented: _”You get to meet and work with so many different artists, and you also get to meet and work with the Create team who are amazingly supportive throughout. It has been a fantastic experience.”_ ## **Funding and in-kind support** 5 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) Create’s income was secured via a public sector grant from Arts Council England; the development of new relationships (with organisations including: Champions for Children; Durham University Students’ Union; The Michael and Shirley Hunt Charitable Trust; Michael Tippett Musical Foundation; Picfair Mind the Lens; Premier League; The Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund; Rix Thompson Rothenberg Foundation); the strengthening of significant existing relationships (including: Ashurst LLP; British Land; Carers Trust; The Chartered Accountants’ Livery Charity; First Sentier Investors; John Lyon’s Charity; Masonic Charitable Foundation; The Mercers’ Company; Raise Your Hands; Reed Smith LLP); the generous support of dozens of other trusts, foundations, companies and individuals; community fundraising; and events. At its key fundraising event, generously hosted by White Cube in Bermondsey on 03/03/22, Create staged an intimate conversation between its Patron Tim Marlow OBE, Director and Chief Executive of London’s Design Museum, and internationally-acclaimed artist Sir Antony Gormley. Create’s CEO also spoke to the charity’s Youth Ambassador, inspirational young carer Abi, about the impact of creativity on her life. The event raised almost £31k. On 25/03/22, artist and psychotherapist Philippa Perry visited a Create visual art project with young carers in Lambeth, along with her film crew. The resulting film featured in episode two of Channel 4’s hit TV show Grayson’s Art Club (series three), themed “Heroes and Heroines”. The charity’s fundraising challenge event, the CRE8IN8, in which runners ran a daily distance of 800m, 8k or a half-marathon from 01-08/08/21 raised more than £15k. Other community fundraisers included: Durham University students raising £56k at their annual fashion show; and an exhibition at New Grooves Gallery in Notting Hill. The _Create the Difference_ individual and business membership schemes provide highly valued unrestricted financial support to underpin the charity’s work, enabling it to plan with confidence. Create thanks the following members (and all who wish to remain anonymous) who together donated over £70k: **Business Members** : **Innovators** ~ Yellow Cat Recruitment. **Collaborators** ~ Lauren Dickinson Clarke, Michael O’Mara Books, Sara Putt Associates, Uncommon London. **Individual Members** : **Champions** ~ Whitney Gore, Alistair DK Johnston CMG, Tim & Claire Jones. **Catalysts** ~ Anne Baldock, Tony Cates, Eddie Donaldson OBE. **Curators** ~ Inez Anderson, Gareth Davies, Philip Emery, Adam McNeeney, Alan Paul, Colin Sheaf, Mark Sismey-Durrant. **Community** ~ Ozge Balk, Isabella Bragoli, John Broadis, Zoe Brooks, Elizabeth Dossett, Bonnie Gilmore, Nicky Goulder, Natalie Graeme, Hayley Granston, Sean 6 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) Hanson, Richard Holman, Sally Horsington, Sam Johnson, Anna Jones, Sonja Jutte, Paul KempRobertson, Ben Knight, Jenny Leonard, William Lidstone, Michael Litman, Michael Llewelyn-Jones, Blanaird Mason, Julie Mernick, Marit Meyer-Bell, Tom Newman, Ben Newton, Kevin Parry, Michael Quintell, Alice Renaud, Isabel Santaolalla, Richard Schrieber, Vanessa Sharp, Lara Sherwin, Emily Stubbs, Louise Stubbings, Adrien Stum, Jim Thornton, Carol Topolski, Michael Topolski, Zelie Walker, Natt Wallbank. A vital part of Create’s work is its partnerships with the business community, which enables companies to meet their Corporate Responsibility objectives while helping Create to achieve its mission. Companies including Ashurst LLP, British Land, First Sentier Investors and Reed Smith LLP provided volunteers to support projects that they funded, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to workshops, acting as positive role models for the participants, and developing new skills and experiences to take back to their virtual workplace. Access to workshops also helped to enhance volunteers’ connectivity and wellbeing during a year of isolation for so many. Create increased its profile through high quality, targeted communications that continued to position the charity as a leader in its field and the Chief Executive (CEO) as an expert voice. This helped to raise the profile of the challenges faced by the charity’s participants and the importance of the creative arts to connect, empower, inspire, upskill and enhance wellbeing. This included: Create’s appearance on Grayson’s Art Club; an article by the CEO in The Stage about why the theatre world needs to do more to champion young carers; an appearance by the CEO on the Creative Boom podcast; a blog by the CEO published by Charity Times on how Create shifted projects online during the pandemic; and an appearance by the CEO and Patron Erwin James on National Prison Radio followed by an interview with the CEO in Inside Time to promote the _My Dad’s In Prison_ project. Create’s City of London office lease on London Wall terminated on 24/12/21 and the charity moved to nearby premises in Austin Friars. Staff wellbeing and the charity’s Green Action Plan played an important role in decision-making, as did a blended approach of home and office working. Create is indebted to the following organisations for their support with the move: Furniture donations: Balfour Beatty and Encore Environment Ltd via ProjectDIVERT; Property consultant: O&A Property; Pro Bono legal support: Reed Smith LLP; Pro Bono surveyor: Vail Williams LLP; Office fit out: Wildcard Concept. 7 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) ## **Key Groups / Example Projects** During the year, Create developed and delivered 65 projects, examples of which are included below. Led by Create’s professional artists, Create’s projects connected, empowered, inspired and upskilled all participants, raising aspirations, building self-esteem and enhancing wellbeing. They also … … improved social skills, provided means of self-expression and built self- **Disabled adults** confidence _"I really enjoy the creative elements. It’s a great de-stressor and I always feel like I’m achieving something."_ Participant Create’s _creative:discovery_ project enabled 12 service users at MIND in Camden and MIND in Tower Hamlets & Newham to explore their creativity through high-quality photography workshops, delivered via Create Live!. Coming together remotely, they reconnected with their peers, reducing isolation; learnt new skills; and built confidence, enhancing wellbeing. **Disabled children** … broke down barriers of prejudice and explored environmental concerns _“I think it’s important to talk about the challenges that face our planet. It affects our future.”_ Participant The final year of Create's three-year _changing:minds_ environmental project involved 112 children from the five special needs schools/units in the London Borough of Harrow through ceramics, drama, music, sculpture and visual art workshops. Participants explored the theme ‘Environment – Air’. The project culminated in a showcase at Harrow Arts Centre. Create's _creative:connection_ project brought together 48 disabled and non-disabled children from four schools in Manchester and Salford to create songs about ‘superheroes’, under the guidance of Create’s professional musicians. The project culminated in a performance at Manchester Central Library as part of Manchester Literature Festival. … provided a social outlet through which to take a break from caring and build **Adult carers** trusting relationships, reducing isolation _“Having the chance to be creative helps you use your brain in a different way. We spend a lot of time doing things that we have to do and you can get very stressed if that’s your whole life. Creativity gives you that mindfulness space.”_ Participant Create’s _creative:release and creative:voices_ projects - delivered both in-venue and via Create Live! - enabled 202 adult carers in England and Scotland to explore their creativity while taking a break from their caring responsibilities, building trusting relationships with other carers who understand their situation, and developing communication skills and confidence. The project in Scotland brought carers from Edinburgh and Glasgow together. ... enabled young carers to take a break, build resilience, and learn about money **Young carers** in the home _“I would like to take photography as a GCSE now. I went to the photography project and I feel like it can really help me when I grow up.”_ Participant Through its _art:space_ , _community:matters_ and _inspired:arts_ projects Create worked with 26 young carer services across England, Scotland and Wales, delivering 453 workshops both online and in-venue. These enabled 596 young carers to develop their skills, enhance their creativity, build their confidence, connect with other young carers and enjoy a break from their caring responsibilities. 8 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) _“I learned how to manage my money. Now I’m more financially aware and know about things like interest rates.”_ Participant _change:matters_ is Create’s multi-year programme that takes a creative approach to upskilling young carers about money and family finances. Delivered both in-venue and via Create Live!, Create enabled 88 young carers to learn these new skills through animation, drama, music, photography, visual art and zine-making; and created a new resource bank on its website. ## **Prisoners** … gave prisoners space to express themselves, learn and connect with family _“[The project] genuinely made me grow as a person and as a father."_ Participant Thirteen prisoners at HMP Isis, a young offenders institution in London, took part in _Inside Change_ , which brought them together to write and record a radio drama about money issues. This was broadcast by National Prison Radio. Thirteen prisoners at HMP Oakwood in Staffordshire took part in Create’s new creative writing and illustration project, _My Dad’s In Prison_ . Together they created a moving book to support families with a loved one in prison. It is available for free on Create’s website. ## **Older people** … reduced isolation, fostered imagination and increased self-worth _“The last time I did something particularly musical I was in my late 20s, maybe early 30s. It was like missing a limb, but I didn’t actually understand that until I came back and started doing something again. I’m not letting it go again.”_ Participant Create’s _art:links_ and _creative:engagement_ projects with older people, many of whom live with dementia, enabled 221 participants to express themselves creatively, learn new skills, feel less lonely and have fun. Create worked closely with its partners in deciding whether projects should take place invenue or online, in order to comply with COVID safety regulations and ensure participants felt safe. ## **Young hospital** … provided a creative outlet to young people living with mental illnesses **patients** _“It’s really good to remind young people what it’s like not to be glued to your phone 24/7 and to be creative and be yourself without worrying what other people think.”_ Participant _creative:tandem_ empowered 52 young people who had been admitted to a mental health hospital unit in London with a serious mental illness, including psychotic, depressive, anxiety or eating disorders, selfharm or suicidal thinking. ## **Young refugees** … encouraged self-expression and built a sense of community _“It feels nice to do something creative because you learn something new.”_ Participant Create worked with 49 refugee and migrant children in the London Borough of Brent through its _community:matters_ partnership with Salusbury World. This gave them a chance to develop their creative thinking, self-expression and sense of belonging – as well as connect with others and build skills – through ceramics, dance, drama, filmmaking, music and visual art. **Vulnerable adults** … enhanced wellbeing through self-expression _“I’ve loved it. I wouldn’t miss this project for the world. The work we do here is top quality.”_ Participant Create’s _Speak With My Voice_ project brought together 16 participants who attend Deptford Reach, a day centre in the London Borough of Lewisham serving local people who have been affected by homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, mental health issues and social isolation. 9 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) The in-venue project empowered them to express themselves through photography and writing, and culminated in a performance and exhibition at Deptford Lounge. ## **Plans for 2022/23** Create will enter year two of its ambitious seven-year strategy from 04/22 with the aim of doubling the reach and impact of its work by its 25[th] anniversary in 2028. Having successfully established its a new hub in Manchester during 2021, it will reach increasing numbers of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable children and adults across the North West and beyond. Its participants will remain the driving force behind the charity’s work and Create will continue to meet its commitment to developing sustained, life-changing programmes by returning to many of the carer services, schools, day centres, prisons, children’s psychiatric hospital units and other community settings with which it collaborated during 2021/22. Create has a series of important new initiatives planned that will extend its work geographically and with new partners. It will expand its work from its new NW hub, reaching participants in areas of high deprivation across Greater Manchester, Merseyside and beyond. It will extend its prison work with the launch of _Free Inside_ at HMP Low Newton in Durham; and the expansion of its _Inside Change_ financial literacy programme to four new prisons. It will take its _creative:tandem_ programme for young patients with severe emotional or behavioural disorders to an adolescent psychiatric hospital in Greater Manchester, at a time when mental health support for young people has never been more critical. And it will launch its first programme with looked after children within London’s care system. With the climate crisis arguably the most significant global challenge over the next decade and beyond (COVID-19 aside), there is an urgent need to educate people on environmental issues. Create has taken its environmental responsibility seriously for 19 years, both operationally and via projects. In line with its Environmental Policy, it will continue to promote the need for environmental responsibility, reviewing the targets set out in its Green Action Plan and taking an innovative approach to leading change. During 2022/23, it will launch two new environmental programmes - _environment:matters_ and _environment:tales_ – that will deliver 21 projects at special needs schools in Greater Manchester, Kent, Leeds and London. Create will continue to offer community partners a blended approach of Create Live! and in-venue projects, enabling them to choose the most appropriate way for their participants to access workshops. For those participants who are unable to leave home, due to their caring responsibilities, frailty, mental illness or sickness, for example, being able to join workshops over Zoom helps to keep them connected, empowered, inspired and upskilled, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing. During this 19[th] anniversary year, Create will commission an independent organisational evaluation to review its leadership, processes, programmes and impact. It will continue to evaluate projects and programmes at their culmination; and the charity’s _Making it Matter_ initiative will revisit two projects that completed 6-24 months previously, to assess their longer-term impact on participants. Artist development will remain a priority for Create, with six-monthly Artist Sharing events continuing to provide an opportunity for its professional artists to network, develop new skills and share best practice. Taking place in May and November 2022, the first of these will focus on projects working with special education needs/disabled participants. Six artists have been accepted onto the _Nurturing Talent_ 10 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) programme, which upskills emerging artists, enabling them to acquire experience and to benefit from high-quality mentoring, training and practical workshop assistance. Planned fundraising events during the year include: a team of runners taking part in CRE8IN8 in 09/22; the One Lonely Fiver gig in 11/22; and a gala event (details tbc). A number of community fundraising events are also scheduled to take place. ## **Reserves policy** The aim of Create’s reserves policy is to ensure that its ongoing and future activities are reasonably protected from unexpected variances in income and expenditure. The Trustees regularly review the levels of unrestricted reserves and perform a full review annually. This considers the financial risks associated with different income streams, expenditure categories and balance sheet items together with Create’s ability to meet these from realisable funds. Create monitors a range of measures related to its income and expenditure profile, risks faced and cash flow in developing an unrestricted reserves target. On this basis, the Trustees aim to maintain free unrestricted reserves of 4-6 months of projected operational costs. Unrestricted reserves at 31/03/22 were £664,556, of which £149,473k is held in a designated fund to support the key one-off strategic cost of a CRM system / as a fixed asset fund. The balance of £515,083, represents 4.5 months of budgeted expenditure for 2022/23. This crucial level of reserve – given the uncertainty resulting from the impact of COVID-19 and Brexit, and the volatility of the current economic situation – together with restricted reserves at 31/03/21 of £504,074 (funding received in advance that has been given for a specific purpose and is tied to specified projects or activity taking place in future financial years), provide the charity with a strong balance sheet and cash position. The Directors therefore consider the funding of the activities of the charity to be secure for the following 12 months and beyond. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## _**Company Status**_ The company is incorporated by guarantee and has no share capital. Each of the members has guaranteed to meet debts of £1 in the event of a winding up. The company was incorporated on 09/04/03 and is governed by a memorandum and articles of association. The company is also a registered charity. ## _**Appointment and induction of Directors**_ Create’s Board of Directors has a wealth of experience that covers the arts, business, community and education sectors. New Directors are appointed to the Board by the current Directors, who are also members of the company, with reference to skills, diversity and Create’s values. The Chief Executive inducts new Directors through a process of briefings. They are provided with key information relating to the charity’s governance and operations, and undertake a DBS check and safeguarding training. The Directors meet at least quarterly and attend projects and events. The Communications, Creative, Development and Finance Councils are each chaired by a member of the Board. ## _**Key management personnel**_ Day to day operations are managed by the Chief Executive, Nicky Goulder and her team of 18 staff. Five of these are on the Senior Management Team: Director of Communications; Deputy Director of Development; Director of Development; Director of Finance & Operations; Lead Senior Project Manager. 11 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) New staff have a six-monthly appraisal; all staff have an annual appraisal against SMART objectives set. The Staff Handbook provides information on internal policies and procedures. Annually, the Chairman agrees any staff salary increases, which have reference to any rise in the cost of living and any increase in responsibilities. As appropriate, staff salaries are benchmarked against the sector. ## _**Fundraising**_ Create has a fundraising team of four who work closely with the Chief Executive. Funding bids are carefully researched, developed and submitted to trusts/foundations and public sector bodies, matching their funding criteria with Create’s work. Corporate partnerships are developed with businesses, carefully matching their corporate responsibility objectives with Create’s charitable objectives. Increasingly, Create is approached and works with organisations to co-create partnerships with mutual benefit. Create works on a personalised basis with individuals who have expressed interest in its work, via personal donations or community fundraising. It does not seek to raise funds from the wider public. Create has received no complaints about this or any other approach to fundraising. ## _**Risk management**_ The Directors consider the key risks to which the charity is exposed. In addition, a detailed risk register is maintained by the Director of Finance & Operations and reviewed annually by the Directors to assess the detailed risks and the systems in place to mitigate them. Examples of the key risks faced by Create and their mitigation are provided below: - **Loss of the Chief Executive** - In a charity of this size and history the Chief Executive’s continuing commitment and resilience underpins its capacity to deliver its business plan. - **Mitigation** : A Senior Management Team covers the core areas of communications, finance, fundraising, operations and projects, and provides support to the Chief Executive as well as continuity in times of absence. As the charity continues to grow that resource is monitored. ## • **Reputational damage** The charity’s reputation is paramount and it works hard to maintain and enhance it. **Mitigation** : High quality programmes are delivered by exceptional artists and meticulously evaluated; a rigorous Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults policy is in place; risk assessments are carried out with community partners for every project. ## • **Lack of funding** Funding is critical to the continued operations of the charity and in a continuously evolving environment, particularly with the challenges presented by COVID-19 and the current economic climate, it needs to be alert to changing funding demands and policies. **Mitigation** : The Chief Executive has a proven fundraising track record; fundraising has been strengthened with a Development Council, and Development team of four; longer-term funding is being developed; Create has a proven ability to meet fundraising targets. ## • **Poor staff wellbeing** 12 | P a g e ## CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors’ Report (continued) Staff wellbeing is crucial in a small, ambitious charity that delivers an extensive programme each year with disadvantaged and vulnerable participants. **Mitigation** : Staff wellbeing is central to the charity’s people strategy and was an increased priority during lockdown with the team dispersed due to enforced home working. Initiatives have included creative activities; additional leave; and team socials. ## _**Directors**_ The following served as Directors during the year: John Broadis Tony Cates Eddie Donaldson OBE Tim Jones (resigned 02/03/22) Holly Khan (appointed 28/09/21) Marit Meyer-Bell Vanessa Sharp Paul Thimont Carol Topolski The Directors are also the Trustees for the purpose of charity law. 13 | P a g e CREATE (ARTS) LIMITED Directors Rpport Icontinuedl Statement of Directors'responsiblltities The trustees (who are 31%0 direclor5 01 Create (Arlsl Limited for the purposes ol company lawl are re5pon5ible for preparing the TrLlStees' Report Iincorporating the directors. reportl and Ihe financial slatemenis in accordance wilh applicable law and Unitp.d Kingdom Accounting Standards, Including r.inancial Reporting Standard 102..

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 an Auditors’ Report that includes our opinion.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims. Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any material instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. Reviewing financial statement disclosure and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with the applicable laws and regulatioris.
