**DANCE ACTION ZONE LEEDS (DAZL) LTD.**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
## **Primary Aim**
To improve the mental and physical health of children and young people aged 3 – 19 years, particularly girls, through dance as physical activity in disadvantaged communities of Leeds.
## **Secondary Aim**
To reduce health inequalities, improving the health and well-being of children, young adults with disabilities up to 25 years, families and the wider community throughout Yorkshire through asset-based community dance and wider dance opportunities.
In addition to any other powers it may have, the charity has the following powers in order to further the objects (but not for any other purpose):
- Improve young women’s access to exercise and health information.
- Work in partnership with other community, education, health and arts organisations across the city.
## **DAZL’s Values**
- We understand the communities we work with across Leeds particularly those who have barriers to provision.
- We aspire to have the best quality dance teachers/artists.
- We value young people.
- We value families and their involvement.
- We are dedicated to improving health through dance.
- We are dedicated to improving access for the community; nurturing and supporting them to become part of DAZL.
- We meet young people where they are at; culturally, geographically and structurally.
## **Introduction**
Dance Action Zone Leeds was established in 2000 and funded by the Health Action Zone. Initially the project provided an alternative physical activity option for young women in deprived areas of South Leeds who were not engaging in more traditional sports or school PE lessons. Recognised as an innovation in Public Health by the Chief Medical Officer, DAZL became a Registered Charity in 2004 supported by Leeds PCT (now known as NHS Leeds) and Leeds City Council. DAZL has grown significantly, expanding to develop new projects and initiatives in targeted areas, and the programme is part of the Childhood Obesity Strategy for Leeds with particular focus on the government’s “Choosing Health; Choosing Activity” agenda and the Public Service Agreement (PSA) target to reduce children’s obesity levels.
## **What DAZL Does**
## _“A DAZL participant is confident, happy and healthy”_
Targeting children and young people who lack access to positive activities or who are at risk of sedentary lifestyles DAZL works within youth culture, starting with what young people enjoy which has manifested itself in dance styles like Street Dance and Cheerleading. Local need is at the heart of DAZL’s work and through principles of community development DAZL has created many youth dance groups, after school programmes and intensive projects. DAZL’s programmes attract large numbers of children and young people of all shapes and sizes – upwards of 1,000 per month on average. A key aspect of this development work lies in a commitment to training local people to deliver dance programmes in their own communities, enabling and encouraging ownership and entrepreneurship. Engagement in DAZL’s activity improves mental and physical health and well-being for young people in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Leeds. DAZL’s work doesn’t focus solely on obesity but on wider issues, offering fun and positive dance experiences which engage some young people, particularly young girls who otherwise opt out of physical activity. Dance builds physical fitness and improves co-ordination, strength and flexibility. Team work, co-operation, trust and sensitivity skills are developed. Performing to audiences builds transferable skills such as confidence, a sense of self-worth and positive body image.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
## **Why Does it Work?**
“ _Rather than always using direct health-based messages DAZL promotes physical activity and healthy eating in a form that young people and their families at high risk want to share. Tapping into a parent’s desire for their child to have a good time will be much more effective in achieving behaviour change than telling people to be active for an hour a day.”_
Janice Burberry, Children’s Lead in Public Health, Leeds PCT
_“Dance has the ability to communicate across cultural and generational barriers.”_
David Lammy MP, Minister for Culture, 2005
## **2021/22 Year in figures**
We continued to use the principals of the DAZL model to engage, inspire and enables through five strategic strands of work:
1. Participation
2. Community Leadership
3. Partnerships
4. Artistic Development & Progression Support
5. Celebrating Communities & Performance Opportunities (digitally)
## **Words from Ian Rodley, Director of DAZL**
_“This year has been an exciting time for Dance Action Zone Leeds (DAZL) with so many achievements as we come out of the pandemic, including receiving the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service “The MBE for a Community Organisation”. DAZL has continued to use dance as a creative pathway to improve the health & wellbeing of 6,108 people, engaging with 4,254 individuals across our established Leeds programme and working with 1,809 from our Wakefield programme and 45 people in our Batley programme. Our focus on dance and community development has enabled DAZL to connect with 37 schools with 28 from Leeds and 9 from Wakefield. We have worked with 27 of the 33 Leeds City Council Wards and, so far, 4 of the 21 Wakefield District Council Wards and Batley. It has been an amazing year and I am proud of everyone who has played their part in our success, our participants, our staff and our partners. I hope you enjoy reading about our year.”_
## **Leeds Public Health Investment and other Funds 2021-22**
With the £78.5k initial funding DAZL received from Leeds Public Health, we engaged 3,245 young people in regular dance as physical activity and an additional 2,863 participants from Leeds, Wakefield, and Batley through the other funding sources, listed below. From the Leeds Public Health initial investment, this cost less than the treatment for two people with Type 2 diabetes.
## **Leeds Public Health Impact – DAZL Family Healthy Living Service**
With the support and investment of £78.5k from Leeds Public Health for the DAZL Family Healthy Living Service, we were able to deliver 1,029 regular dance sessions and 548 healthy eating and healthy lifestyle sessions. DAZL engaged 23,245 people in regular activity, mainly children and families from the most deprived communities across Leeds. We engaged with 19 schools of which 10 were in the top rankings for childhood obesity from the National Child Measurement Programme.
We aim to reduce inequalities and improve the health and wellbeing of families involved in the programme. We did this by promoting dance as physical activity, as well as healthy eating activities, as our creative pathway to deliver our Public Health outcomes. We engaged 1,116 boys of which 401 were inactive and 2,085 girls of which 1,603 were inactive. Of these 92 were young people with care experience and 109 young people had a disability. Of the 2,290 young people engaged 1,143 were from black or minority, ethnic backgrounds. 1 in 5 of DAZL’s overall programme but 1 in 3 in regular Public Health funded activity were non-white young people.
These participants took part in 68 outreach/engagement events and 1,059 children took part in at least one performance event. We attracted an audience of 5,614 people through the live performance events.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
In 2021-22 DAZL supported 18 young people to follow a creative education pathway to study dance, musical theatre or performing arts at college. In addition to this, we had 12 young people gain entry to universities to study dance. The majority of these young people are the first person in their families to attend university.
The DAZL Family Healthy Living Service, commissioned by Leeds Public Health, supported our DAZL families in making positive behaviour changes to their health, wellbeing and lifestyle choices. The data below illustrates the changes in lifestyle habits of 3,194 DAZL participants which have been recorded at points throughout the year.
Using media to share stories and measure the impact of our programs.
Due to the pandemic, we had to do things a little differently, but we stayed true to the ethos of connecting and working with the community. We connected our communities physically and digitally so they could continue to be at the heart of our work, celebrating peoples’ achievements and encouraging the wider community to have ownership of the DAZL programmes through engagement and performance opportunities. This builds a dance audience and brings dance to many of those who may not ordinarily get these opportunities. The young people and DAZL team led by our Dance Development Officer Mason Jubb with the _Wayne Sables Project_ have created dance films, online resources and video evaluations. These address the themes around various health and wellbeing topics and the impact of the various DAZL programs. All work created culminated in a digital showcase click this link https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/633857791
## **How did we do in 2021-22?**
## **LEEDS**
- Our works creation KPI was to create four new pieces which would be showcased around Leeds and Yorkshire to celebrate our 21-year milestone: DAZL created six new artistic pieces of work which engaged young people, emerging artists and established artists.

## **DANCE ACTION ZONE LEEDS (DAZL) LTD.**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
## **Financial Review**
The organisation made a surplus this year of £2,880 (2021: surplus of £33,053) and reserves at the end of the financial year amounted to £81,225 in total.
Restricted reserves at the end of the financial year amounted to £11,937 and are committed to be spent in the 2022/23 financial year
Unrestricted reserves amounted to £69,288, a fall of £2,787 on the previous financial year. Included within this is an Activity Reserve Fund amounting to £22,208 which is available to support activity and delivery on specific projects until such time additional income is identified or a decision is made to close such activity.
It is the policy of the organisation that unrestricted funds should be maintained at a level equivalent to between 3- and 6-months expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding they will be able to continue the organisations current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been achieved.
## **Plans for the future 2022/23**
In the next financial year 2022/23 DAZL will be awaiting the outcome of our Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation application, this required much work, planning and looking at our strategic plans and honing our offer to our young people and community.
We are broadening the scope of our after-school and in-school dance program for young people. The program operates at several levels, including encouraging participants in the school schemes to consider further education and a career in dance, with potential options to return to DAZL as part of a professional dance company or as dance teachers and facilitators. DAZL is committed to training the next generation of dance practitioners at the highest quality level, as well as ensuring the continuation of a robust dance economy. We will continue our work across dance and sport with cheerdance/cheer-fit activities and contemporary dance groups at all levels from ages 3 to 21 years. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in casual activities, so called ‘tap in, tap out’ sessions, or commit to more rigorous opportunities to perform. ACE NPO funding would help support our wider community provision with volunteering programs and our work with organisations including Sports England. We have a 3-year funding commitment from the Leeds Youth Alliance Consortium and to bring in earned income from DAZL’s inhouse studio. Adding another funding stream will enhance our ability to form partnerships and commit to work, knowing we have a stable and secure income from which to qualitatively advance this pursuit.
Overlapping with our work with young people includes the DAZL Dance Leadership Course aimed at ages 14 and up, the course provides Level 1 and 2 leadership training, which can then be used as a basis for further education at college and university level and an eventual career in dance. Provision has been made for young people and adults with a learning disability to take part in these courses. DAZL has a commitment to training local people up to deliver their own dance programs, creating a full circle of provision where former pupils return to DAZL to train the next generation. This ensures employment opportunities for newly qualified dance practitioners in the local area. Alongside teaching, the new practitioners will have the opportunity to create dance pieces, some of which will feed into a DAZL based semi-professional company that will deliver work in schools tackling social issues, engaging pupils in post-show talks and activities.
Our organisation to embed itself in its locale, reaching out to communities nearby, including but not limited to those who are unfairly marginalised or who experience social and economic deprivation. This principle is built into the DNA of DAZL. Every activity we undertake supports the outcome, however, specific activities that are built around delivering on our Cultural Communities include the proposed DAZL Number 2 Leeds Bus Route Takeover. This site specific performance will follow a bus route that takes in some of Leeds’ most deprived communities. In this way, the cultural experience is brought to the community, rather than them having to make a special effort to seek it out. In addition to this, ongoing DAZL Community Program outreach sessions will continue across Leeds and Wakefield, specifically targeting high deprivation areas. We are also enhancing and expanding our digital strategy, with the help of board member and frequent collaborator Wayne Sables, to provide better access for those unable to attend in person.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_
DAZL has a history of working with a broad range of ethnicities and people of colour. We have a strong commitment to the LGBT+ community, young children, and their families, those with a disability, victims of domestic violence, and former prisoners. Our work has been proven to aid mental and physical health and general wellbeing. Participants on our programs have variously lost weight, improved their overall fitness, coordination and flexibility, developed teamwork skills and other transferable skills including trust, cooperation and confidence.
DAZL has its HQ in the Middleton area of Leeds. City Councillors actively advocated for DAZL to have a community headquarters as our work during the first two years of the COVID pandemic is considered so exceptional. We have further support from the Leeds City Council, and have secured an initial funding pot, to begin a building extension, including another office, larger kitchen and additional studio/theatre space. This will be built on a large field to the side of our existing building. Although we do not require ACE funds for this capital project, it demonstrates our commitment to levelling up our organisation and providing a safe space for young dancers to develop, learn and grow. We (including the Board) are committed to a qualitative leap to become a cultural hub in the heart of south Leeds, as already exists in Leeds City Centre and the north of Leeds.
Overall, DAZL’s commitment to these outcomes not only continues to contribute to health and well-being amongst our participants and communities but have literally put South Leeds on the Dance Map through our achievements in competitions, our social media profile and our demonstration of high quality dance choreography and performances. For our communities, for years for being ‘invisible’ and considered the “left behind” parts of Leeds, it has created a new vigour and confidence that everyone in Leeds is important and can achieve whatever they choose to pursue. We hope to expand that in Leeds, and neighbouring areas, with the possible support of ACE NPO status.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DANCE ACTION ZONE LEEDS (DAZL) LTD.**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 9 to 19.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The trustees, who also act as directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011, (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- (iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities;
- have not been met; or
- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
