ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR 2020-2021
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and related restrictions, we continued to deliver the vast majority of our work online either through hosted virtual events using Zoom or through the streaming of existing and new digital content on our social media channels/platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Linked-In and Twitter) and our Amazon Add-on partner, Alchemiya. We were fortunate to have had success in securing grant support from the first and second rounds of the DCMS/Arts Council England’ Cultural Recovery Fund in order to sustain our work through this most challenging time.
“I am sure the honourable lady will be aware of the many, many organisations and individuals working in Luton that have benefitted from that emergency funding, for example the brilliant Khayaal Theatre Company who as she knows are a multi-award winning theatre and drama education company …” – Caroline Dinenage, Minister of State for Digital and Culture applauded Khayaal by name in parliament on 22nd Sep ‘20 as part of an adjournment debate on arts and culture in Luton sponsored by Luton MP Rachel Hopkins.
Over the period August-December 2020, we delivered 11 online events comprising 12 performances/workshops and 9 offerings benefitting national and international audiences numbering 4000 mostly with new partners across four sectors (faith/interfaith, education, culture and commercial). The highlight of this period was our tremendously successful new performance storytelling offering, Muslim Nativity, commissioned by the Compass Network at Norton Rose Fulbright to console and inspire hope in its staff, partners, clients and friends through the Christmas and New Year holiday season in quarantine. Other partners over this five-month period included The Reading Agency UK; University of Sheffield’s Festival of the Mind; BPP University; Creation Theatre, Oxford; Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre, London and Birchfield Independent Girls School, Birmingham. Offerings included Riding a Donkey Backwards, Rumi Tales, 1001 Stories, Conference of the Birds and Muslim Heritage Stories.
“Atheist household here (raised Muslim and Christian) - very much enjoyed this and value the perspective. Nice to get multiple perspectives for our child.” – Atheist on Muslim Nativity
It’s a great production and she is a wonderful storyteller! It takes a real gift to keep attention with only your person and your voice. I think we could learn something of telling the story contextually from this. It was brilliant how it wove contemporary themes (and Christmas music) into the story (“Chestnuts roasting on an altar fire...”); poverty, injustice. And the haunting use of the melody of “O Come O Come Emmanuel, but contextually changed to an Islamic theme.” – Christian on Muslim Nativity
“A belated thank you for streaming the nativity again. I watched a few times over the short time it was streaming - captivated by the performance, ambience, and the learning from the prophetic story itself.” – Muslim on Muslim Nativity
We began 2021 anticipating an imminent return to physical touring of our on-demand Theatre-without-Walls (TwW) performance and workshop offerings in view of the sustained demand that we continued to receive from new and existing partners seeking to reconnect their communities. However, it was not until the end of March, a full year after the pandemic compelled us to migrate online that we were able to serve physical audiences. Thereafter, we were only able to intermittently tour TwW offerings to our national network of partners as and when government restrictions permitted us to do so. When this was not possible, we continued digital/virtual delivery especially through our peak Ramadan and Eid season when tens of thousands of people joined us on YouTube for new film adaptations of thematic collections of Muslim heritage stories that dovetailed with the 3 ten-day periods of Ramadan: Mercy, Forgiveness and Deliverance.

Trustees Annual Report
Preceding our YouTube channel storytelling offerings for Ramadan and Eid (Apr-May 21), we started the year shooting our long-awaited TwW special offering of the pandemic which we premiered on 28th February. Edhi Means Love proved a huge success with global audiences. The 40min film tells the story of the peerless Pakistani humanitarian of his time, Abdul Sattar Edhi, blending together theatre and film syntaxes in a compelling way that epitomised the creativity and ingenuity that characterised so much of the British cultural sector through the pandemic.
Over 1K people joined us online for the premier screening of Edhi Means Love and the overwhelming response was gratitude and acclaim for this first ever professional film production on the life and mission of the communitarian visionary who created a national welfare service for Pakistan from scratch. In subsequent monthly screenings between Feb-Aug, many hundreds more people joined us to reflect on and draw inspiration from this exemplar of the humanitarian values that people all over the world came to cherish and exemplify through the pandemic. Edhi Means Love was covered by BBC Asian Network, BBC 3 Counties, ARY Digital, The Daily Jang, Islam Channel and many local radio community stations across the country.
“My pleasure. Your virtual productions have been one of the highlights of this unusual year. My son loves them...” – Anthony Riccio on Edhi Means Love
"Thank you, Luqman Ali and team, for producing such an inspirational online event this evening with the Khayaal Theatre Company. I am feeling truly inspired now I know the story of Edhi and the beginning of the Edhi Foundation. A definite plus to track and trace self-isolation this week - much more interesting than my normal Thursday swimming lesson! #thankyou #humanitarian #edhimeanslove #ambulanceservice #charity #lovethis #loveforall #edhi" – Laura Marinello
“...I’ve just finished watching the film. It was as compelling as it was gripping. It has the force to move strong people to tears. ... For now can only say that you have made a major contribution towards civil society by making this film." – Ranjit Sondhi CBE on Edhi Means Love
“The film is beautiful. .. Faroque is brilliant!” – Shahidul Alam on Edhi Means Love
We were fortunate to attract new host partners, both national and international, for co-hosted online events comprising performances and/or workshops through the March-July 21 period. These included Sincletica Monastic School, Spain; Denbigh School, Milton Keynes; Old Catton CoE School, Norfolk; and Newham World Festival, London; Edhi Foundation UK and Luton Foodbank. The offerings shared with these partners included Edhi Means Love, Muslim Nativity and House of Wisdom in the Golden Age of Islam for Key Stage 2 pupils.

The Khayaal Theatre Company Trustees Annual Report
• Muslim Nativity and Edhi Means Love raised over £2K in for charity partners Edhi Foundation and Luton Foodbank
• This year an exchange in parliament demonstrated the way in which discrimination and exclusion work. As part of an adjournment debate that she sponsored on 22nd September, Luton MP Rachel Hopkins while advocating for a particular non-BAME Luton-based arts organization erroneously asserted that the only Luton arts organization eligible to apply to the DCMS’s Cultural Recovery Fund was the one she was referencing. In doing so, she discriminated against and excluded by omission Khayaal, which is the oldest professional theatre company in Luton. In our experience, this type of exclusion usually passes without correction or challenge, hence the disadvantage and deprivation we’ve long endured. Fortunately for us on this occasion, however, party politics worked in our favour as the Conservative Culture Secretary had done her homework and left our local Luton MP on the back foot by countering that there were other arts organisations that were eligible to apply and proceeded to applaud Khayaal and list it among local Luton arts organisations that were supported by the Arts Council’s initial Covid-19 emergency fund.
• We continued to advocate for justice and equity in the UK cultural sector for BAME audiences, artists, cultural practitioners and cultural producers in relation to socio-cultural opportunities, recognition, access to public space, funding and representation. Interlocutors on these issues included Arts Council England, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Amal. Despite public acknowledgements of structural injustice and inequity in the sector and the formulation of new funding policies to address these issues on the part of funders and development agencies in the wake of George Floyd, Windrush and the disproportionate impact of Covid on minority communities, we continued to experience exclusion and a lack of understanding of the society-wide inequalities and disparities that stifle the aspirations of minority cultural actors. These include but are not limited to unjustifiably high thresholds and inflated expectations on the part of funders when it comes to scale of operation, impact and turnover that can only be based on the erroneous assumption that minority cultural producers benefit from equal access to resources and opportunities and a level playing field. By evidencing the wide socio-economic and socio-cultural disparities that disadvantage BAME communities when it comes to average household wealth, employment prospects, physical and mental health outcomes, acceptance and belonging and multiple deprivation, we endeavoured to convince our interlocutors that real equity means calibrating threshold and expectation criteria for support to the realities of the lived experience of minorities in the round. For example, when the average household wealth of a white British family (£314K) is ninefold that of a black African family (£34K), it is manifestly clear that the socio-economic barriers to socio-cultural inclusion and stake-holding where the arts are concerned are in no way comparable.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the year under review the charity received unrestricted income of £147,106 (2020: £103,004) and restricted income of £16,666 (2020: £16,667) and had an expenditure of £61,083 (2020: £72,001) and £16,667 (2020: £16,667) for unrestricted and restricted respectively. At the Balance Sheet date the charity held unrestricted funds of £59,601 (2020: £51,800).
Reserves policy
The Trustee Directors have established a reserves policy that holds that unrestricted funds equivalent to a minimum of 12 weeks of the last complete financial year’s turnover be held by the theatre company to cover current liabilities, commitments and activities/operations for four calendar months. This equates to £23,770.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that Khayaal TC is able to act in the interests of its charitable purposes and its beneficiaries, as well as protecting and safeguarding its assets and ensuring that due diligence is taken in complying with current legislation and good practice guidance.
Page 6
The Khayaal Theatre Company Trustees Annual Report
The trustees have given due consideration to the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. Due to the continued support the charity receives from its donors and the public, the trustees are satisfied that the going concern basis remains appropriate in preparing these financial statements. Furthermore, the charity believes that the level of unrestricted funds held remains sufficient to support the activities of the charity in the foreseeable future.
Going concern
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees regard the foreseeable future as no less than twelve months following the publication of the Charity's annual financial statements. The trustees have considered the Charity's balance sheet position and reserves as at the year end, the future plans for the Charity and the impact of the current Covid-19 crisis, taking account of reasonable possible changes in the income of the Charity and are satisfied that the Charity has sufficient resources to remain in operational existence. Accordingly, they have adopted going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Financial and risk management objectives and policies
Risk mitigation has been central to the organisational management processes that have ensured that we have alternately survived and flourished for over two decades. We manage and mitigate risk by maintaining a high level of industry awareness and forecasting. This is achieved by monitoring developments in our sector and related sectors in the media and public forums. We also review our organisational SWOT analysis on a regular basis taking into consideration market trends here and abroad affording us continuous tracking across analysis factors. Where financial risk is concerned, we have primarily employed the combined strengths of scalability, commitment, ingenuity and passion in order to adapt to changing circumstances and transform challenges into opportunities. Our core staff and board of directors share responsibility for risk mitigation.
Principal funding source
Over the year 2020-21, our funding came from a mix of sources as follows:
-
Grants 84% (Amal, Aziz Foundation, DCMS/Arts Council of England, HMRC JRS)
-
Donations & Gift Aid 9%
-
Income from sales and services 6.5% (heavily impacted by Covid-19 / 16% in ’19-20)
• In-Kind support and resources in terms of underpaid core staff time relative to multidisciplinary expertise and experience, volunteer time, host partners’ contributions of performance spaces, digital channels, staff time, publicity, etc. have been quantified and valued monetarily as equivalent to at least 50% of cash turnover at £80K
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
• We will work to recover from the pandemic and resume our physical fulfilment of national demand for our Theatre-without-Walls performance and workshop offerings serving mostly disadvantaged and socio-culturally neglected or underserved minority audiences while also retaining and servicing our global digital/online audiences with seasonal film and audio productions. We aim to remodel our socio-cultural enterprise model after the pandemic to incorporate symbiotic physical and digital service lines for wider reach, deeper impact and legacy.
Page 7
The Khayaal Theatre Company Trustees Annual Report
• We will lay the foundations for continuous drama academy provision integrating drama, character virtues and Muslim literature beginning with monthly drama academies for mainly but not solely Muslim children aged 5-15 in Cambridge, Luton and NW London. Once we have established the monthly provision, we will then work to expand to fortnightly and later weekly provision. The Cambridge academy has been up and running for 6 months to date, so this work is well underway.
-
Delivering 25-30 physical Theatre-without-Walls performance events nationally with multi-sector partners.
-
Leveraging our accrued cultural capital and longstanding, privileged partnerships with BAME/Muslim communities in order to increase our grant funding from public and private funders including
trusts/foundations. This will include preparing and submitting an application to Arts Council England to join the National Portfolio of Arts Organisations through 2023-2026.
-
Celebrating our 25th anniversary with celebratory events in locally in Luton and nationally in London.
-
Redeveloping our website and refreshing and enriching our branding across our social media channels.
• We will initiate work on our 3-year funded PhD project on British Muslim Engagement with Theatre in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University, the Arts and Humanities Research Council and North West Consortium Doctoral Training Partnership. The project will be delivered by our successful applicant doctoral student Serena Slack-Robins who returns to Khayaal after working with us 23 years ago on our debut production, Conference of the Birds.

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.
