## **CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The year began with covid requirements continuing to restrict live activities but Face Front continued to adapt and emerged as strong as ever thanks to the dedication and initiative of our small, hard-working team. Restrictions on live performance led us to create film versions of our shows, helped by construction of our ‘green screen’, which is also available for hire by Arts and other organisations. 

Through these films we have been able to reach a much wider audience. Whisper Me Digital, our show about domestic violence, has been seen by almost 9000 students in approximately 100 schools across 18 boroughs. 

The Face Front Fest went ahead in summer as an online event with contributions from all our groups, including songs from the Broken Silence album and a soap opera by DDM, our performing arts group for young people. We completed the album and film of the Equilibrium show, which had a successful premiere at the Lee Valley Odeon in summer 2022. 

We were able to get back to live activities again in autumn 2021 although some group members continued to participate online. It’s My Move, our show for learning disabled young people about the transition from school to adult life, toured across London as well as several towns around the country. There were 27 performances to more than 1200 pupils as well as several workshops. 

The year also saw further R&D continued the creation of our new show The Hero Next Door, which will be touring the country in 2023. Our corporate training helping managers support staff experiencing emotional difficulties also continued. 

A major task during the year was preparing to apply to the Arts Council for National Portfolio (NPO) status, which will allow us to continue reaching wider audiences and increasing opportunities for disabled performers. This included developing a three-year business plan setting out the financial implications of our ambitions for the near future. We also created a ‘Green Team’ to strengthen our commitment to environmental responsibility. The board also took part in anti-racist training to help us ensure we continue to enjoy good relations with the diverse communities we serve. 

At the annual meeting in November 2021 we were sad to lose the membership of Andrew Bradford, a longstanding supporter and my predecessor as Chair. We subsequently co-opted Susannah Yianni who will bring Face Front valuable knowledge and experience. 

The accounts show an unusually large surplus for the year which we do not expect to be repeated. This is due mainly to a change in the application of accounting rules which requires substantial grant income to be included in the year although the bulk of activities the grants are funding will take place in subsequent years. Our policy continues to target a small surplus each year, which we plan to return to in 2022/3. While we will not repeat this year’s exceptional result I am confident we are well-placed to continue meeting the needs of audiences and community members despite the difficult economic conditions facing our communities and schools.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective January 2015). 

Since the charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

The principal objectives of the company are to advance the education of the public in the arts, in particular the arts of theatre, drama, poetry, singing, dance, movement and music, in particular but not exclusively among young people and people with disabilities. 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. 

## **b. Principal activites** 

Our activities continue to be the development and delivery of original, inclusive theatre with disabled and nondisabled artists, especially in schools and the community. During the covid pandemic restrictions we developed online, radio and film versions of our touring productions. 

We have strengthened partnerships with similar arts organisations during the year, pursuing our vision of leading in innovative inclusive theatre and creating more opportunities to inspire young people. 

To achieve our goals we need support from a range of external funders and we have continued to expand the sources of funds during the year. 

During the year we reached almost 9,000 students and staff and involved 150 people in our local groups. This is only possible due to the commitment of our staff, volunteers, freelancers and trustees and the support of our funders. 

## **c. Volunteers** 

Face Front operates with a number of volunteers in addition to the trustees. They are particularly important for the activities of our community groups.

**FACE FRONT INCLUSIVE THEATRE LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Review of activities** 

Face Front continued to operate eight community groups and produce tours to primary, secondary and special schools. During the year we conducted research and development for a new production: The Hero Next Door which will tour in 2023. Covid required significant adaptation and innovation which included creating a digital version of our domestic abuse show Whisper Me Happy Ever After. 

## **b. Factors relevant to achieve objectives** 

We are reliant on the ability to continue attracting financial support from a range of funders including Arts Council England. The commitment of staff and volunteers is crucial to our success. 

## **c. Fundraising activities and income generation** 

Face Front sustains continual fundraising activity, focusing on a widening range of Foundations, Trusts and other grant-making bodies and has continued to be successful in attracting funding for our groups and school tours. This income source is supplemented by fees payable by schools and group participants. We seek to diversify income sources by developing drama-based workshops for private sector organisations. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

The charity’s reserves policy is to maintain liquid funds equal to at least six months’ core costs, which are primarily salaries and premises costs. This level of reserves has been exceeded throughout the year. 

## **c. Financial performance** 

Our finances were boosted by several exceptional receipts, including a one-off covid-related grant from Enfield council, as well as substantially increased activity following easing of covid restrictions. The exceptional surplus also reflects a change in the application of accounting rules which includes substantial grant income to be included in the year although the bulk of activities the grants are funding will take place in subsequent years. 

Our main income comes from grants and donations, amounting to £571,134 in the year, two and  a half times the previous year (2021: £221,671), which was a more typical income level. Ticket sales and charges were £25,503 (2021: £10,968). Total income reached £602,077 (2021: £233,764). 

Expenditure for the year was £446,236 (2021: £205,538), resulting in a current surplus of £155,841 (2021: £28,226).

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **d. Principal risks and uncertainties** 

Face Front carries out a risk management review led by the Trustees to identify and act on risks to our continued operations. This has identified the loss of key staff and fundraising failures as the most substantial risks. 

## **e. Trustees' Indemnities** 

Trustees are protected by Directors’, Trustees’ and Officers’ Liability. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. Constitution** 

Face Front Inclusive Theatre Ltd is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association. It has no share capital. 

## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees** 

Recruitment of trustees is by recommendation from board members, creative team members or participants and then, following a probation period of four months, a mutual decision is made on appointment. 

## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies** 

The trustees meet approximately six times a year and are responsible for management of the company. The artistic director and associate directors also attend the trustees meetings in a non-voting capacity. 

## **d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees** 

New trustees attend an induction from one of the creative team including a one to one talk about the charity. They also receive a copy of the Charity Commission publication CC3 'The Essential Trustee: What you need to know'. 

## **e. Risk management** 

During the year the Trustees reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

**FACE FRONT INCLUSIVE THEATRE LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Plans for future periods** 

Face Front will continue to extend our reach and profile both regionally and nationally with a cultural education program improving emotional wellbeing for socially disadvantaged young people and adults. This will be supported by an energetic fundraising program, building on and creating new relationships with our current and new funders including public grant giving bodies, trusts and foundations, corporate support and sponsorship. 

Our plans include a new, high quality, show A Hero Next Door, which will tour to small/mid sized venues for school groups and family audiences. We will continue to tour to schools our shows Whisper Me Happy Ever After and It’s My Move, develop digital resources and build our Corporate Training offer. 

We are optimistic about our future and our ability to deliver on our mission to address social injustice through multi-accessible theatre. 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the Trustees of the charity (and 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 charity 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 the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity 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

# **FACE FRONT INCLUSIVE THEATRE LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

# **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements 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 October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

The charity has taken advantage of Update Bulletin 1 to not include the cash flow. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

Continued fundraising success has secured adequate financing for our activities in the coming year. The Charity therefore has sufficient funds to cover committed expenditure. Combined with future grant commitments that the charity is due to receive and the healthy cash balance at the balance sheet date, this has given the Trustees assurance that the charity will be able to continue operating for at least twelve months from the date of signature of these accounts. 

The accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **1.3 Income** 

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

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. 

## **1.4 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

**FACE FRONT INCLUSIVE THEATRE LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.5 Charity status** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The directors of the company are the Trustees at the beginning of the accounts 

In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of theguarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company 

## **1.6 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 institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## **1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, . 

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

- Leasehold improvements Straight line over the term of the lease - Plant and machinery Straight line over ten years - Office equipment Straight line over three years 

## **1.8 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **1.9 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and 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.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.10 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **1.11 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. 

## **1.12 Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year. 

## **1.13 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
