2. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

THE PURPOSES OF THE CHARITY as set out in its governing document are: To advance the education of the public in the knowledge of the art, practice, and value of oral storytelling and in the knowledge of the form and content of the oral traditions of all the peoples and cultures of the world by actively promoting the exploration and sharing of oral traditions, storytelling, and stories

MAIN ACTIVITIES:

PUBLIC BENEFIT: The trustees of the CIS have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The central benefits which flow from our work are:

...for the general public throughout the UK.

...for UK based performance storytellers and English-speaking artists based overseas

...for funders, cultural gatekeepers and sector professionals.

These benefits are evidenced by survey data, and regular evaluation and review.

3. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

GOVERNANCE: The Charity is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. The liability of each member is fixed at an amount not to exceed £1.

The governing document of the CIS are memorandum and articles of association.

The core staff of the charity are an Artistic Director whose role equates to that of a CEO; a Programme Manager and an Audience Engagement & Marketing Manager. We work with multiple freelance artists, arts professionals, and others.

RECRUITING AND APPOINTING NEW TRUSTEES: At each Annual General Meeting one-third of the directors (those who have been longest in office since their last election or appointment) shall retire from office. A retiring director is eligible for re-election. The directors may at any time co-opt any person as a director, either to fill a casual vacancy or by way of addition to their number, provided that any maximum determined by the Company is not exceeded. Any member so co-opted shall retain office only until the next Annual General Meeting but shall then be eligible for re-appointment.

Charitable trustees/directors are selected for their passion for the form and content of performance storytelling and traditional narrative, and the objects of the organisation, as well as their knowledge and skills in other areas, including, but not restricted to fundraising, law, events management, PR and for the networks they represent.

4. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Main achievements:

Earthouse. We have managed their post of Relationship Manager throughout 2022 – with the aim of building performance opportunities for artists in regional venues.

IDENTIFIED RISK

5. FINANCIAL REVIEW

SUMMARY FINANCIAL POSITION:

Total incoming: £106,186

Total outgoing: £87,248

Brought forward unrestricted funds: £6,711

Brought forward restricted funds: £3.337

Core grant funding: £0

Project grant funding: £62,952

Donations totalled £731

Income from box office receipts and fees from venues totalled: £39,916

RESERVES POLICY:

The challenge: it is difficult for the CIS to build reserves because box office yields reflect project budgets directly and grant funded project budgets are required to show no profit. Our reserves were exhausted during the Covid 19 pandemic but were restored by two Cultural Recovery Grants. However, as our boxoffice driven economy has been slow to rebuild, and because access to funding is especially challenging, we expect to draw on reserves during the next financial year.
