The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law.
Reference and administrative information set out on the previous page forms part of this report.

## **Objectives and activities**
## **The purpose and aims of the charity**
To promote, maintain, improve and advance education for the public benefit by promotion of the arts, in particular, but not exclusively, the art of drama. Our aims are to make theatre, performance and other public events that create new circumstances to talk about contemporary life.
## **Main activities undertaken in relation to the above purpose**
The Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
## **Achievements and performance**
The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on promoting, maintaining, improving and advancing education for the public benefit by promotion of the arts, and are undertaken to further Quarantine’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.
We continued our monthly event, _No such thing_ online between April and July and in October 2021. We did a distance version for a small festival in Bristol, which led us to begin developing a ‘concepttouring’ version of this project, which we’ll trial in 2022/23.
We completed _Ark_ , a commission by the Moving Borders partnership of seven European venues and festivals: Hellerau, Dresden and Ringlokschuppen, Mülheim (Germany), Maillon Théâtre de Strasbourg (France), Teatro Municipal do Porto (Portugal), Onassis Stegi (Greece), Performing Arts Institute Warsaw (Poland) & SPRING Performing Arts Festival (the Netherlands) _._ The project was a collaboration with local agents - artists, architects, activists, and others - and the public, to construct a physical or metaphorical ark, adapted to each city’s realities: a space to examine borders and their manifestations in contemporary European societies.

QUARANTINE Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022
Delivery of the Arks took place between April and September 2021, with some partners’ timetables changing, and alterations to the form and methods of delivery in line with local Covid restrictions, with a final project meeting taking place in November 2021.
Between April and July 2021, we continued development of our new theatre work, _12 Last Songs_ . Part exhibition of people, part-performance, _12 Last Songs_ is an exercise in mass portraiture, featuring up to 30 local people on stage, demonstrating the work that they do. We carried out some ‘open rehearsals’ at HOME, Manchester in July 2021, to test the work and how to manage audiences given the restrictions around Covid. We went on to premiere it at Leeds Playhouse as part of Transform Festival in October 2021, where it received positive audience and media feedback. We have since presented it at Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts, Brighton as part of Brighton Festival and caravan international showcase (May 2022), and at HOME, Manchester (September 2022). We will present it in Cambridge and Gateshead, UK and at international venues and festivals in 2023 and beyond.
We made a first version of audio walk, _The people of…_ in English in Northmoor, Manchester in the summer of 2021, and had hoped to present it then. However, we encountered technical difficulties with the app we’d commissioned and decided to post-pone it. We went on to present it in February 2022. We made a further version, in German, for Ruhrfestspiele, a festival in Recklinghausen, Germany in May 2022.
Both _12 Last Songs_ and _The people of…(_ Manchester) have been supported by an Arts Council England project grant.
We successfully applied for a bursary from The Rank Foundation’s Time to Shine programme to employ an Ensemble Associate, recruited for this role and appointed Chi Emecheta for the full calendar year 2021. Chi supported us in developing and supporting both _The people of_ and _12 Last Songs_ , alongside contributing to our advocacy plan.
We were selected as one of the recipients of a Collaborate grant by the Centre for Cultural Value, to work alongside a Scientist and Philosopher to research the value of beauty in cultural work. This research will take place alongside presentations of _12 Last Songs_ and will continue into 2023.
We continue to be involved in _Another Route_ fellowship programme which offers seed commissioning, an international residency, mentoring to help internationalise 12 English artists. We are mentoring artist Hugh Malyon, and continue to support the project as part of the consortium.
We took part in developmental and educational activities in this period, including mentoring of artists, talks and workshops at universities and for youth theatres, working alongside students on _12 Last Songs_ , hosting a 7-month placement with the University of Manchester’s Institute for Cultural Practice. We also worked with a range of volunteers to help deliver our programme of activities.
We took part in training in unconscious bias and carbon literacy training, and continued work on a number of policies, as well as commissioning a new website.
In this period, we continued working as an ensemble of artists and producers, with Sarah Hunter, Kate Daley and Lisa Mattocks integral to the everyday fabric of Quarantine’s planning, creation and delivery of work.
We’ve continued with our efforts in securing income from philanthropic sources. In particular, we would like to thank The Rank Foundation, The Granada Foundation, and George Whalley who have

kindly supported our work. We are also grateful to Arts Council England and Manchester City Council for their on-going support through core grant funding.
In 2021/22 we received Theatre Tax Relief from the treasury relating to costs for the development of _12 Last Songs_ and _The people of_ in Engelskirchen, Germany for the year ending March 2021.
The beneficiaries from our activities are the artists and creative team involved, and people experiencing the work as participants and audience members (e.g. _No Such Thing_ , _12 Last Songs_ and _The people of_ ) and through workshops/talks. We continue to actively try to increase the diversity of beneficiaries including staff, board, collaborating artists and practitioners, audiences and participants, and continue to implement our Diversity & Equality Policy.
## **Covid-19**
Our team continued to work remotely from home in the main throughout 2021/22, plus we temporarily rented a city centre office to test our interest in and need for a permanent space. We settled on using a co-working space in a more ad hoc way, continuing to work from home and from project sites/spaces.
We’ve continued to develop ways of working collaboratively remotely and in person, in line with project needs and personal preferences. We managed to present _12 Last Songs_ at Leeds Playhouse in October 2021 under relaxed Covid-secure conditions, and then later in Brighton in May 2022 largely without any restrictions. This has been instructive and means we know how to manage a range of conditions.
We are continuing to develop activities that can be delivered remotely (e.g. _No such thing_ concepttouring version) and those that can be experienced remotely, increasing access to audiences who may need this due to health, dependents or geography.
No activities were cancelled or postponed because of Covid-19 in 2021/22.
## **The main achievements of the charity include:**
Promoting the arts through development and presentation (of projects detailed above);
Advancing education of the public through the arts through the development and presentation of the projects detailed above.
## **Beneficiaries of our services**
## _Beneficiaries include:_
Members of the public experiencing the work as audience members
Members of the public taking part in the work as performers, collaborators
Artists – working in a range of art-forms
Other professionals working in the arts - producers, directors, choreographers, writers, photographers, production and technical personnel
Funders and supporters of the work
All the above are specific to each project but have a range of characteristics in terms of diversity of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity status,

race (including colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation, socio-economic status or level of engagement with the arts.
## **Financial review**
There was a deficit in year on unrestricted funds of £26,799 (2021: surplus of £41,674), and on restricted funds a deficit of £81,114 (2021: a surplus of £84,875. The deficit on restricted funds was due to projects that were postponed during 2020/21 having been delivered in 2021/22, so utilising restricted income received in advance.
Our overall unrestricted funds at 31 March 2022 are £142,846, which is made up of free reserves of £87,269, including fixed assets of £831, and designated funds of £55,577 to meet existing project commitments, the development of new work, and increase access, diversity and well-being.
There were no restricted funds as at 31 March 2022 (2021: £81,114).
## **Reserves policy**
The aim of the reserves policy is to ensure that the charity’s ongoing and future activities are reasonably protected from unexpected fluctuations in its income and expenditure. The Board reviewed the reserves policy and agreed that a minimum level of unrestricted general funds, also known as free reserves, of £81,000 is appropriate given the risks faced by the charity and the sustainability of its different income streams. Free reserves at 31 March 2022 were £87,269.
Our free reserves should cover:
the maximum liability of 3 months running costs, should a break in financial support occur (for this duration); or costs to meet all liabilities should a winding-up be necessary. Liabilities include salaries, redundancy payments, plus accountancy and legal costs to meet our funding agreements and statutory liabilities.
Our current free reserves (excluding designated funds and fixed assets) are currently above that target.
## **Plans for the future**
Future plans include the development of new projects for presentation in the UK and internationally, including _12 Last Songs_ and audio walk _The people of._ We are also planning continuation of a longterm international residency/ association with a partner in The Netherlands; a new touring work for 2024/25; a series of artist commissions located in places where people work; the development of a new creative project for The Factory, Manchester in 2024; and continuation of our work in supporting and developing creative talent.

## **Structure, governance and management**
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 5 November 1998 and registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on 3 November 2003.
The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31[st] March 2022 was 6 (2021: 7). The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 9 to the accounts.
The board and senior team regularly review the skills, knowledge and experience required to properly govern the organisation including a skills audit. When a need for new trustees is identified, we follow processes outlined in our Diversity and Equality Policy and Action Plan to match the knowledge and skills required and to increase representation at Board level.
A robust process is in place to advertise for or solicit new charity trustees, based on their skills, experience and what they can offer to the organisation alongside the other trustees. No other person or body is entitled to appoint a charity trustee, and we carefully follow our Articles and Memorandum of Association concerning the appointment and retirement of trustees.
We recognise the responsibilities placed by law on a trustee and a thorough induction process is in place for all new trustees which includes meetings with the Chair, senior team, and other Trustees, sharing past papers and reading materials and talking through processes.
## **Related parties and relationships with other organisations**
There have been no related party transactions in the reporting period that require disclosure.
## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees**
The trustees (who are also directors of Quarantine for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## Quarantine Independent examiner’s report to the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 8 to 22.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ICAEW.
## It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## Independent examiner’s report
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
## 1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## a Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Quarantine meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.
## b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
## c Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## d Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Quarantine
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
## e Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## f Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of performing arts productions and workshops undertaken to further the purposes of the charity.
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## g Operating leases
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## h Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
|Technical equipment|20%|
|---|---|
|Computer equipment|33%|
|Motor vehicles|10%|
## i 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.
## j Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Quarantine
## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
## k 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 the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## l Financial instruments
The charity only 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## m Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 9. Outstanding contributions at the year end were £1,342 which was paid in April 2022.
## 2 Legal status of the charity
The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
