OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The period September 21 – August 22 was still overshadowed by COVID-19 and its aftermath. This was especially true of the circumstances faced by schools, in particular in terms of staff shortages and budgets, and consequent difficulties in planning.

Clio's Company Trustees Annual Report
It was, therefore, especially pleasing that workshops and a live event took place as part of the Aphra Behn and After project as well as progress on the accompanying website. Young people from London primary and secondary schools took part in these, as did a group of composition students from East London/Waltham Forest Music Hub. This stage of the project also included workshops with students, both undergraduates and postgraduates, from Brunel University – a mixture of drama, digital media, creative writing and music students. A performance including live and filmed material took place at Barnard’s Inn Hall, Gresham College in June, and included semi-staged readings, dance, singing and instrumental music. There were several original pieces created by participants. Each of these was inspired by an aspect of the life of Aphra Behn, her contemporaries and the theatre and music of her time. Sadly, there was a rail strike on the day of the event – as it turned out all the performers were able to be there in person, although with less rehearsal time than we had planned. Some of the intended audience from outside London were prevent from joining us, but the performance was live streamed from Barnard’s Inn Hall. We are especially grateful to the Portal Trust for their support of this work. The project website now includes material from these workshops as well as information for researchers and teachers; there are plans for adding further music, the story of Aphra Behn’s spying career and more resources for schools.
During this period, we were able to resume some in-person workshops at All Hallows by the Tower. School groups took part in the on-line version of the “Lundenwic” workshop set in the Anglo Saxon period when there were two Londons three miles apart and the site now occupied by the church was in transition from its centuries as a grand Roman town house to a stage when it was a wayside chapel for travellers. Young people came to All Hallows for a workshop in which they created their own version of the stories of the characters and events of the time. Most schools had had few opportunities for out of school workshops in the preceding two years and were enthusiastic to work outside the classroom context. We plan to expand the offer we can make to schools for flexible, hybrid programmes to ensure as many as possible can take part in still uncertain times.
The next report will include details of further developments on the Aphra Behn project, at All Hallows and the early stages of two new projects.

Clio's Company Notes to the Accounts

-
Recognition of Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which expenditure cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
-
Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable activities services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.
-
Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.
-
Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
-
Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Equipment 25% Reducing balance
Freehold investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
Trade and other 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Clio's Company Notes to the Accounts
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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.
Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
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.
