TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 published in October 2019".
The legal and administrative information page forms part of this report.
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity are to advance education for the public benefit by the promotion of the arts, in particular but not exclusively the art of drama.
In order to achieve these objects the charity:
-
creates quality theatre for children and family audiences
-
tours regionally, nationally and internationally to venues, rural settings and schools
-
runs projects that nurture and develop artists for the children’s theatre sector
-
delivers creative participative projects for children
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the trust’s aims and in planning future activities.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Activities of the Charity
The Charity has had a positive and productive year seeing a return to more confident touring and the development of projects initiated during Covid-19. More specifically, the Charity’s activities have benefited the public throughout the year through:
Leeds Young Film Festival
The charity was commissioned by Leeds Young Film Festival to collaborate with three Leeds cultural organisations in Millenium Square to enhance the experience of family audiences attending the film festival. Tutti Frutti commissioned Leeds based writer Chris O’Connor to write the Secret Silver Screen Society which was a series of short interactive performances that took place in four different spaces in the Carriageworks Theatre and Leeds City Museum and appropriately timed these to take place between film screenings. 94 children and their families attended the performances alongside the films.
Arts Engagement
This year has seen the second of a five-year funding programme secured from the Didymus Charity to develop arts engagement projects in the Harehills area of Leeds and its environs. The newly appointed Project Co-ordinator, Suvi Saraf, has worked hard on developing the Tutti Frutti club, an arts engagement project that takes place after school, for children aged 3+ in partnership with Harehills Primary School. Leeds Inspired funding supported the pilot of the club in summer 2022 and further funding was secured from Mohn Westlake, to develop the project over a three-year period, and from the Pears Youth Fund to reach more children locating it in a second local school; Hovingham Primary School. The children have engaged in and enjoyed workshops in dance, music, creative writing, storytelling, crafts and puppetry delivered by a cohort of culturally representative Leeds-based professional theatre practitioners. The aim of the project is to engage children in the low socio-economic area of Gipton and Harehills in high quality arts and cultural activities as there is a lack of provision for this young age group and socio-economic barriers for them to access other facilities and clubs. The delivery of the project is based on the well documented evidence that it is vital for children to have relevant cultural experiences that will develop their creativity, self esteem and aspirations and stimulate their imaginations helping them see the world with fresh eyes.
Suvi has been networking with local organisations and community members and run several focus groups with local school parents to better understand their aspirations and needs for their children through the arts.
Jerwood Weston Creative Busaries
A successful application was made in partnership with Leeds Playhouse, for a Weston Jerwood Bursary for a designer to work with the two companies for a year. Bradford based designer Warda Abassi was the successful candidate and she designed the Leeds Young Film Festival project the Secret Silver Screen Society as part of her bursary and was then employed to design Jack Frost and the Search for Winter by Joseph Coelho in autumn 2022. A further successful application has been made for a Jerwood Arts Bursary for two more designers for 2023/24 and 2024/25.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Jack Frost and the Search for Winter by Joseph Coelho
This was a new commission from the Children’s Laureate Joseph Coehlo and brought together a predominantly global majority* team to work on the production. Eleanor Manning directed the production and Warda Abassi, fresh from her Weston Jerwood Bursary, designed the show. The show toured nationally for 8 weeks followed by a three-week Christmas run at Sheffield Studio Theatre. 127 performances took place to a total audience of 10,294. There was a strong environmental theme to this show and it was also the first in which we have attempted to reach the Baseline level of the Theatre Green Book, a new initiative that supports the arts in becoming more sustainable in its practices.
*Those who are ethnically and culturally diverse, and who experience racism in our society.
Ugly Duckling by Emma Reeves
This popular show was remounted and performed for four weeks in December at the studio in Derby Theatre as their Christmas production for children aged 3+, parents and carers. 48 performances took place reaching an audience of 2,345. The show then toured the USA for 13 weeks delivering 70 performances in 21 venues to audiences of 25,395. The show was extremely well received and surpassed all targets. As only the second time touring the USA, the show has consolidated the relationship with the US agents and a further two years of touring the US are already planned.
Sweet Dreams by Mike Kenny
A series of performances of this audio play, that was made during lockdown as it was unable to tour nationally, took place over a weekend in November 2022 at the Junction in Goole. The audio play, and associated podcasts on the wonders and benefits of sleep, were enjoyed by families over 5 performances and are available for audiences to listen to on our website.
Financial review
The Charity has weathered the post-Covid period well and has felt a slow return to more confident producing and touring over the year. Audience numbers have increased on the previous year and the US tour was extremely successful. The tutti frutti club remains extremely important reaching children in low socio-economic areas where access to the arts present challenges to the local families and children. Venue bookings remain hesitant and the trend of programming well known book adaptations or stories predominates. Fee income is conservative in the face of a climate of safe programming. The enhanced level of 50% Theatre Tax Relief for touring has been very welcome and allowed the company to generate a surplus on the year.
The Charity has had continued success this year in fundraising employing Fundraising Manager Janet Myers on a freelance basis. She and the team have successfully generated funds for current and future projects from Didymus Charity, Wades Charity, Pears Youth Fund, George A Moore and Mohn Westlake Foundation, to whom they extend great thanks. Funding was also jointly secured with Leeds Playhouse from the Jerwood Weston Foundation.
The Charity is core funded by Arts Council England and Leeds City Council to whom it extends great thanks. The year has seen new grant giving rounds for both these funders and the charity has been successful in maintaining its position as a national portfolio organisation with 3 year of funding from Arts Council England and a further 1 year of funding from Leeds City Council.
Reserves policy
The trustees have established the level of reserves that the charity should have as amounting to twelve months operating costs at a minimum due to the current climate and future funding uncertainties. At 31 March 2023 the charity has free reserves of £200,913 (2022: £222,549) which equates to 12 (2022: 14) months operating costs.
Risk management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee by its Memorandum of Articles of Association dated 9 August 2001. The company adopted revised Memorandum of Articles of Association on 26[th] January 2011 when it became a charity. A further amendment was made to the Memorandum of Articles of Association at the AGM on 14[th] October 2015 in which the number of trustees was increased from 7 to 9.
Trustees to run the charity are identified through contacts within the arts and education fields, by advertising through organisations like Arts Council of England, NCVO, board banks and targeted advertising for specific skill requirements and diversity.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees, who are also the directors of Tutti Frutti Productions for the purpose 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 year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TUTTI FRUTTI PRODUCTIONS
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Tutti Frutti Productions (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements 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 financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
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 that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.
