As in previous years the provision of media services was a major source of income, much of this work was performed in tandem with the direct charitable work.

Reserves policy

The Reserves policy is to maintain sufficient reserves in order for the charity to meet its charitable objectives.

Many of the projects undertaken are fully funded and are treated as restricted fund activities. Over the duration of these projects it is anticipated that the restricted funds will be fully utilised and then the fund will close. If a fund is negative it is on the basis that future funding has been obtained to restore the restricted fund to a nil balance. Small deficits are funded from the unrestricted fund.

The unrestricted fund is used for working capital requirements. The trustees have no plans to build up the reserves, other than for working capital requirements. The trustees plan that the unrestricted reserves should equal approximately 6 months spending requirements.

FUTURE PLANS

The priorities for the 2022/23 financial year are:

  1. Continue our core work in communities including promoting heritage, health and wellbeing and digital storytelling through the range of technologies and creative approaches we deliver.

  2. Use our skills and projects to inspire conversations and positive action around climate change and the environment

  3. Expand our capacity to deliver XR and game projects through up-skilling the team, developing new partnerships and increasing our range of freelancers.

  4. Expand our Freelance team with experienced youth and community workers

  5. Refine our offer and profile as a Learning Organisation especially in our partnerships with Universities

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

When a vacancy arises a new trustee is searched for who will have the required skills, experience and expertise needed in order to strengthen the existing Board. All potential trustees have to complete a brief application form and are interviewed by the other board members.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of One to One Development Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of One to One Development Trust ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, as there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. Based on the adequacy of the charity's reserves as at the balance sheet date, along with their knowledge of the charity's ability to meet bills, payments and other liabilities as they fall due, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance IT & media equipment - 33.3% on cost

All tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost, being purchase price less accumulated depreciation.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

The different restricted funds represent different projects that One to One Development Trust has not only been involved with but has been the recipient of grant money. There have been other key projects but these have been accounted for through the unrestricted fund as One to One Development Trust has been a partner organisation, invoicing for services provided.

More information is available in the Annual Report 2021-22, which is attached to the end of the financial statements. The Chief Executive Officer, Judi Alston compiled the report and it has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

INTRODUCTION

About us

One to One Development Trust is a charitable media/arts organisation. Using a variety of creative approaches and technologies we work with organisations and communities to create exciting, engaging, and innovative projects, positively changing lives for the better.

Our work is local, national, and international. We consistently push the boundaries with technology, creating innovative films, apps, games, and online applications to make communities a better place, share knowledge and increase aspiration. We offer meaningful engagement, creative excellence, best practice in our field and high production standards across all aspects of our work.

Our Vision

To bring creative experiences and opportunities to all people, particularly those not engaging in the arts or marginalised for whatever reason, because we believe that creativity can make a real difference to people’s lives, to express, shape and improve their health and wellbeing, sense of place and community. We believe access to technology offers great potential for creative expression, giving individuals and communities a way to communicate and be heard, whilst increasing digital literacy and aspiration.

Our Purpose

Summary of the Year

2021-22 remained an uncertain year as the country went into a second wave of Covid lockdowns. For us though, this meant that our digital work continued to become very sought after as organisations needed to find alternative ways to engage their communities online or in a hybrid way.

We have particularly seen a rise in partnership projects where we have been commissioned to create bespoke Virtual Museums and Galleries to enhance engagement into heritage. This includes sporting heritage with Hull Kingston Rovers RL Club and Rugby League in the North East. We have also been using this technology to work with museums and arts organisations including Culture Leicestershire and Space2 (Leeds) creating online versions of exhibitions, extending the ‘exhibition experience’ to visitors virtually all round the world.

We have been able to use our skills and knowledge to help support groups and other charities understand and utilise the digital world. This has been imperative since digital technology has been a much-used method of communication and engagement during lockdown. Funding from the National Lottery allowed us to run a programme of workshops under the title ‘Making the Most of IT’ for twelve community groups in Peterborough.

Having invested last year (2020-21) in new film equipment and drones including training for team members we are pleased that film has remained a consistent part of our work in 2021-22 with recent projects including The Resilience of the Nene (a short film about the River Nene and organisations along it), Wakefield Families Together, a series of short films for and about children and families in Wakefield District, and ongoing film projects about the heritage and story of Chester House Estate in Northamptonshire. This year we brought to life our own archive project about the building of the Harewood Stupa with original footage shot in Bhutan in 2003/4. The Making of an English Stupa, a 30 minute documentary film, is currently on tour screening at different venues.

As an organisation we pride ourselves in pushing the boundaries with technology and ‘keeping ahead’ in our areas of work. This year CEO Judi Alston took part in a 6 month ‘Advance’ training programme run by Creative UK for video game production studios which was very relevant as games are an expanding area of our work. Digital Director Andy Campbell developed further skills through his own online training in: character rigging and animation, 360 video capture, custom shader programming, volumetric lighting, and the Unity game engine's relatively new and evolving Universal and High Definition Render Pipelines. Film maker Dean Hinchliffe undertook advanced drone pilot training and night flying training on a CAA recognised course. In house, Evie Godfrey is excelling in her WordPress website skills being mentored by Andy Campbell.

Despite the ongoing challenges of Covid, and some projects still “on hold”, behind schedule, or unable to happen, this year has been insightful, rewarding and has connected us with new partners including Phoenix Dance Theatre (Leeds) and Pilot Theatre (York) both of whom we have started heritage and storytelling projects with which will launch later in 2022.

How we met our priorities

For 2021 to 2022 we identified three priorities for the year:

PRIORITY 1

Build on innovative engagement (including online) and use of new technologies to create projects/opportunities that promote heritage, health & wellbeing and digital story telling within communities.

PRIORITY 2

Promote positive environmental messages and raise awareness of climate change through our creative practice.

Page 21

PRIORITY 3

Make our work more accessible, relevant, and inclusive to people of different cultural backgrounds, gender, and ability.

Within our programme of work over the last twelve months we have aimed to develop projects or expand on existing work that addresses our priorities. The following case studies highlight the range of work undertaken as part of our priorities for the year.

Over the year we have run a diverse programme of projects that have been commissioned or supported by grants. In this report we are picking out a few to reflect on how we have been trying to meet our priorities.

PRIORITY 1 – Case Study

Walking in Time – The Artis Trail

The Artis Trail is a 3km walk across the countryside of Nene Park and the village of Castor. The area situated on the banks of the River Nene is made up of walkways that have an amazing heritage. Funded by Nenescape through National Lottery Heritage funding we have been working with Nene Park to create a web based app that explores the heritage of the site going right back to the Bronze Age. The trail encourages walking and learning about the environment with information and photos of flora and fauna. Through a series of community consultation days with the public we have tested out different technologies and media to create a fun and informative app. The trail is named after Edmund Artis who discovered a lot of the archaeology of the site in the 18[th] century. We have brought this heritage alive through using Augmented Reality, photography, spoken word audio, and aerial footage. This project encompasses all aspects of our work bringing together heritage, wellbeing, and storytelling through using innovative technology.

PRIORITY 2 – Case Study

Our Earth Your Choice

We were pleased to be awarded second stage funding from Creative Challenge (Wakefield Council) to continue Our Earth Your Choice into another year and invest more time and resources into the game and its participants. We are working with 25 young people aged 8 to 20 years old across 4 groups to co-produce a video game through a series of monthly online workshops and masterclasses.

In May 2021 some of our young people presented online at a youth climate change conference organised by the annual trade union festival With Banners Held High. Representatives from each age group did a fantastic job sharing their thoughts about the environment and how our game can help raise awareness.

Page 22

In the summer, the participants met for the first time in person as we took part in the Wakefield Council’s Festival of the Earth event. The young people presented about the project to an audience and were on-hand to demo the game to over 1000 people who came through the doors during the day. This took many of the participants out of their comfort zone, but it became obvious how much this project has meant to the young people and how it is increasing their skills and confidence.

As well as teaching game making skills, Our Earth Your Choice is also measuring the competencies of the participants in seven key areas: Confidence Building, Teamwork, Active Listening, Communication, Planning, Problem-solving and Critical Thinking. Through a mix of questions linked to the Resilience Framework, feedback after sessions, parental questionnaires, and film, we are gathering robust evidence about the impact of this project on the participants. This evaluation will go on to inform our own work but will also be valuable to share with other partners/organisations.

There will be a lot of opportunities to use Our Earth Your Choice to talk about climate change and the environment and we embrace the potential of where this project may lead.

PRIORITY 3 – Case Study

Stories of Insight

In June 2021 we launched Stories of Insight at the Together & Apart Exhibition in Wakefield which featured 12 projects including ours that ran during Covid. In September 2020 we began to create a series of podcasts telling the stories of people with sight loss and their experiences during lockdown. We worked closely with members of Wakefield District Sight Aid on this arts engagement project helping combat loneliness. These inspirational stories were played over a public sound system outside the venue to thousands of passers-by and are now available to listen to online, offering a fascinating insight into the lives of the visually impaired community.

For the exhibition, we created a series of photographic portraits of each participant and made a short film about the project shot at the launch event where – in response to our project – Wakefield Council brought in an audio tour guide to give parity to the exhibition experience for people with sight loss. This has gone on to influence and improve accessibility and access across other exhibitions in the district.

Stories of Insight gives voice to a community that is often not heard and has created a legacy of important experiences at an unprecedented time.
