LIVERPOOL IRISH FESTIVAL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 TRUSTEES' REPORT

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the charity is to bring Liverpool and Ireland closer together using arts and culture.

LEGAL STATUS

Liverpool Irish Festival is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. It does not have a share capital.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

ln accordance with the charity's Articles of Association, the principal objectives are “the advancement of the

PUBLIC BENEFIT

Liverpool Irish Festival provides a high quality and wide-ranging Festival, within Liverpool and the surrounding area, open to all the community. Events range from music, film, education, literature, drama and performance. The programme is rich and varied and makes a serious attempt to create a Festival that showcases the breadth of contemporary Irish culture and the deep roots of Liverpool's relationship with Ireland.

ORGANISATION OF THE CHARITY

The charity has a board of trustees, who are also the members of the charity, who oversee the general management and control of the company. In setting policies, the trustees have complied with their duty in section 15 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The board meets roughly 10 times per year to discuss and oversee the charity's financial, artistic and administrative activities. There are presently subcommittees for finance and development, which meet when necessary and report back to the main board.

The day-to-day operations management is carried out by members of the board in a voluntary capacity, supported by a contracted Artistic Director and CEO. A rolling contract for PR and Communications provision is in place, along with website management and security, each outsourced to trusted local contractors.

LIVERPOOL IRISH FESTIVAL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 TRUSTEES' REPORT

TRUSTEES

The names of the present trustees -and of all who held office during the year- are shown on Page 2 of these financial statements. No remuneration was paid to any trustee for their services as a trustee, nor did any trustee have a material interest in any of the charity's contracts.

INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES

Trustees are selected based upon their professional skills to complement those of the existing trustees or replace those of retiring trustees. Current trustees bring their skills and experience from a wide range of professions. All are committed to or experienced in the arts and cultural sector. Board induction involves attending a trustees' interview prior to appointment, meeting the trustees and receiving copies of policies, business plans and accounts. Training needs are continually assessed and implemented as required.

CONTRIBUTION OF VOLUNTEERS

The charity is supported by highly experienced and dedicated volunteer Board members. Additionally, the annual Festival is supported in its sub-group planning and delivery of events by a team of volunteers.

REVIEW OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR

The Liverpool Irish Festival is unique in its field, as the only arts and culture-led Irish festival in the world. Celebrating Liverpool’s unique connection gives us something exportable that ‘brings Liverpool and Ireland closer together using arts and culture.’

Liverpool Irish Festival’s 2022 theme was “hunger”. We set the theme in 2019; who would have known we’d be experiencing a cost-of-living crisis and the impacts of war in Europe, just as we emerged from a global pandemic? As always, the Festival drew people into discussion; shared new concepts and encouraged interaction; fighting isolation, embracing technological advances and acknowledging change.

We continued to develop and expand our four programme trails 1) In:Visible Women, 2) Nook and Cranny Spaces 3) Family Days 4) Liverpool Irish Famine Trail, informing the programme and continuing to build assets in these areas.

We launched this year’s Festival, with the support of The Irish World, at the Liverpool Irish Centre in the presence of the Consul General, Sarah Mangan, and Liverpool City Region’s Metro Mayor: Steve Rotheram. Of 60 Festival events and 9 exhibits, over the year, 11 were live virtual events, with 2 wholly virtual (e.g. premières). Combined, they attracted a total audience of 39,243 (2021: 25,907) with an additional 1,689 (2021: 8,703) views-to-date, including films and events with extended accessibility. This provides a combined total audience of 40,933 (2021: 34,621) a substantial increase of 18%.

LIVERPOOL IRISH FESTIVAL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 TRUSTEES' REPORT

We developed our public realm, high-profile work this year with more exhibitions, in a stronger visual arts programme, delivering 237 exhibition days. A key pillar if this was the Irish Institute’s partnership residency with Fion Gunn (Arrivals/Departures) which ran from Summer to the end of the year. Such expansion is ordinarily a challenge because of the long lead times needed by venues in contrast to the Festival’s time-constrained ‘project’ status, but 2022 was an anomaly because of the amount of solo work (born of Covid downtime), partnerships and openness to using alternative venues and online methods.

GlobalGreening visitor figures were down a little in 2022, with some buildings lighting in support of the Ukrainian plight against Russian attack. This removed them from our count, though they would otherwise have gone green. For the third year, there was no Liverpool City Council sponsored River Festival, though LCR Pride did run, with a staggering 12,000 audience, which we attended.

Following on from our successful bid to National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2021, work began on the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail. This generated a book publication in summer 2022 and the recruitment of a remarkable voluntary History Research Group, who have undertaken over 1,300 hours of volunteer time since their group’s establishment. The project received support from international partners (e.g., Strokestown National Famine Museum and Trail, and the Great Famine Voices Roadshow). The Festival continues to make attempts to attract additional funds for the ongoing development of the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail.

We welcomed two new members to the Board, now 10-strong, in the summer, recruited a volunteer team of 13 (to front-of-house and Liverpool Irish Famine Trail roles); hosted two internships, recruited a new PR and Communications Lead (Anna Franks, Anna Franks Marketing) and sustained the History Research Group lead (John Maguire, Arts Groupie CIC). The Board has ordinarily met via Zoom for its meetings across the year, with occasional in-person meetings, as required.

We retain our ambition to expand the Festival’s management team and support the Director in further Festival development, increasing its content and our engagement with this action. This is despite not yet being able, in a fiercely competitive field, to become an Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation (NPO). We are working with our peer network of other Irish organisations to strengthen the representation of Irish culture within the national

portfolio. Nevertheless, the work invested in the NPO application has considerably strengthened the organisation and we will renew our strategies to progress ambitions in 2023. We were, however, successful, in gaining sizeable support (£58k) from ACE to develop new creative and cultural work for this year’s Festival programme.

In total, we made funding applications of £947,265 (2021: £1,068,372), landing £110,380 (2021: £115,183) or 14% (2021: 10.78%) of our bids, to date. Regular funders included Liverpool City Council, the Irish Government’s Emigrant Support Programme and Tourism Ireland, to whom we are greatly indebted.

The Festival continues membership in and support of numerous networks (e.g., Cultural Connectedness Exchange, Creative Organisations of Liverpool, Baobab, and the Irish Government’s Emigrant Service Advisory Committee).

LIVERPOOL IRISH FESTIVAL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 TRUSTEES' REPORT

We thank our Director, Emma Smith, for her prodigious efforts, and the Festival Board and our volunteers. Emma, incidentally, accompanied the Metro Mayoral Mission to Dublin to help strengthen the northwest’s strategic relationship with Ireland. We thank our artists, partners and sponsors; collaborators and networks; venues, friends and every visitor and audience member for joining us for #LIF2022. We hope you will join us this year, particularly during 19th-29th October 2023.

FUTURE PLANS

The Liverpool Irish Festival’s business plan is entering its third delivery year and it remains central to operations. As outlined there, we must innovate, build organisational capacity and secure multiyear funding - grant and private. The incorporation of digital events in a diversified programme will be sustained and we intend to develop and manage the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail. We have developed a year-round presence and funding for year-round posts remains a priority. If the Festival is to grow, or even stand still, we must generate additional capacity, particularly as another opportunity to achieve ACE NPO status will not now surface for another three-years.

Our Business Plan still has two+ years to guide us (given that Covid extended the 2020-2025 plan by a year) and lays out our intention to secure and grow the Festival. As a cultural producer, we need investment to sustain our unique role in celebrating and representing the exceptional creativity of the Irish in Britain, particularly in Liverpool, addressing important issues that face our community. This year, in line with the Plan, we will address the following five points:

  1. Capacity. Unless the management team grows, the Festival has hit its limit. Currently it is overstretched, yet managing to over-perform. The skill the team requires is growing and external pressures to become involved in other things is increasing rapidly (e.g., ESAC, Festival Forum, #CCEN, etc). To reflect the wants of the audience and keep pace with a changing world it is vital to engage new team members. Ideally, we would engage a Festival-, Development- and Content- Coordinator and expand the Board to improve diversity, capability and delivery functions.

  2. Content is king. We are increasingly well regarded for our programme, but need to build capacity, comprehension and direction in this area, to make customised content and deeper community impact. The Liverpool Irish Famine Trail and work on its development must dovetail with the Festival’s work. Integrating the Trail content into our year-round programme will be critical.

  3. More public realm work. 2022 has shown that public realm work contributes to cohesive programmes and greatly increases visitor numbers. The development of the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail will add new public realm possibilities and cross-selling opportunities in coming years, but a focus on developing art for public spaces should be a priority of the Festival in 2023 and beyond.

7 | P a g e

LIVERPOOL IRISH FESTIVAL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 TRUSTEES' REPORT

  1. Press and PR. For a micro-organisation we hit big in terms of our reach and reputation, but we need to move earlier and more strategically on long-lead times and campaign delivery. In 2023, we will run with the theme of ‘anniversary’. Knowing this means we can look at how we strategise, locate calendar events to link with and identify the story we want to tell.

  2. Advocacy. As a representational voice for Irishness in Britain and for tolerance, humanity and care we must sustain our labours. That no Irish organisation made it in to the Arts Council England’s National Portfolio is a case in point for this. Our work on the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail, with dualheritage communities, Baobab and the Race Equality Task Group are unique to us and a part of growing our EDI capability and reputation. We must embed this position in our programme, storytelling and interactions. We need to improve our work with, by and for groups who experience isolation (including racism, xenophobia or other protected characteristic concerns) and be better at encouraging monitoring from these groups -particularly with our artists- so we can advocate for better funding, representation and connectedness.

RISK ASSESSMENT

The charity confirms that the Board regularly review the major risks faced by the charity to ensure that procedures and controls established by the organisation are designed to mitigate those risks. The risk of shortfalls of funding and other income has been given serious consideration. Projects are only undertaken if financially viable.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The year ended 31st December 2022 saw incoming resources of £107,164 (2021: £117,775) Total outgoing resources were £127,790 (2021: £99,816) giving rise to net outgoing resources of £20,626 (2021: incoming resources of £17,959), of which £6,037 is restricted for future activity.

RESERVES POLICY

The level of free reserves as at 31st December 2022 is £57,403 (2021: £67,263). As previously, the trustees seek to ensure that sufficient funds are held in reserve following the Festival in order to fund the post of the Director for the following year’s festival. Under no circumstances will the charity be allowed to go into deficit and the Festival’s programme will be adapted to reflect the level of funding received in any given year. In accordance with funder needs, the Festival seeks to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level that covers 3-6 months of operational costs.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1a. Basis of Accounting

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

1b. lncoming Resources

Total incoming resources -as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities- represents the amounts earned by the charity during the year for services rendered, project grants received and receivable, donations, sponsorship and other sundry income. The charity is not registered for VAT.

Income from donations and grants is included in incoming resources when receivable except as follows. When donors specify that donations and grants given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods. When donors impose conditions, which must be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included in incoming resources until the pre-conditions for use have been met.

When donors specify that donations and grants are for restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources as restricted funds when receivable.

1c. Resources Expended

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis. All amounts expended are in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity and are therefore considered to be direct charitable expenditure except for accountancy costs shown as governance costs.

LIVERPOOL IRISH FESTIVAL NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1g. Income Recognition Policies

Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all the following are met (1) the charity has entitlement to the funds; (2) any performance conditions attached to the income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity; (3) there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable and (4) the amount can be measured reliably.

1h. Debtor

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

1i. Cash at Bank And ln Hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term liquid investments with a short maturity of 3 months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1j. Creditors and Provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation, resulting from a past event, that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discount due.

1k. Financial Instruments

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1l. Basis of Preparing the Accounts
