Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 May 2024
Achievements and performance
The financial year ending 31st May 2024 marked the fourteenth full year of SBDCL's existence as a charitable organisation. Building on SBDCL's strong reputation for raising awareness of South Asian dance and music in the UK and longstanding track-record, the Trustees are pleased to report the following achievements this financial period:
Dance Classes
SBDCL opened new classes in Finchley Road and Redbridge in response to feedback and increased demand for dance classes in other parts of London. SBDCL will continue to assess the feasibility of growing the Academy's presence and the opening of these new classes is a part of a broader strategic plan to develop SBDC's footprint in other Boroughs in London. SBDCL's Academy now consists of 160 students. The Academy students continue to have their development nurtured through access to SBDCL's unique approach to teaching, masterclasses with distinguished artists and by formalising their development through ISTD exams. This financial year more than half of SBDCL's students took ISTD exams and the average score across all grades was 73% which is considered an excellent achievement from SBDCL's perspective.
Funding
SBDCL received a £29,950 grant from Arts Council England ("ACE") for its annual festival Hemantika. This award once again demonstrates the strong collaboration between SBDCL and ACE as well as SBDCL's ability to successfully align its plans with ACE's strategic objectives.
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra("RPO")
The rescheduled show 'Wemba's Dream' took place in September 2023. The show featured music, dance, poetry and carnival arts through a unique sensory performance in various locations in the Wembley Park area. SBDCL continued to build on its collaboration with RPO on the project which it plans to develop further over the coming years. The production was well received and was seen as being successful in showcasing the unique and diverse communities of Brent.
Hemantika 2023
This year's Hemantika was another successful event and was the first time SBDCL has taken the festival to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. As usual the festival performances were held over three weekends. This year the venues were the Broadway Theatre in Barking, the Bhavan in West Kensington and the Arts Depot in Finchley. In addition, the festival featured an Academy showcase, masterclasses, performances by established and upcoming artists as well as outreach work. A feature of this year's festival was a performance by Rachel Priyanka Perris from Dhaka in Bangladesh who performed three items from the repertoire of Gaudiya Nritya. This ancient dance form is said to have originated in Gaur, the ancient capital of Bengal, and is a unique combination of music, history, poetry, literature, drama and rhythm. The content of the dance reflects the religious beliefs and practices of the region. This was understood to have been the first presentation of this dance form in the UK. This performance as well as Rachel's masterclass was well received by Hemantika audiences and participants. SBDCL's commitment to promoting new artists and repertoires was also praised by leaders in the dance field. A review in Pulse Magazine noted 'in providing a platform for classical dance and on this occasion introducing audiences to an unfamiliar form, it (Hemantika) fulfils an important function'. As part of this year's Festival, SBDCL commissioned Dr Stacey Prickett, Principal Lecturer in Dance at Roehampton University, to write a report on Hemantika's impact on the younger generation over last 8 years. Additionally under the mentorship of two renowned choreographers, Rosemary Lee and Tanusree Shankar, four SBDCL professionals created new pieces with larger

groups.
Youth Group
SBDCL's Youth Group made substantial progress by working with internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer Jose Agudo, in creating a new piece, called The Herd. They also presented a piece created by SBDCL trained artist and Academy alumni Vidya Patel, who is now one of the leading young South Asian artists in the UK. In furthering their work with diverse communities the Youth Group also participated in well-attended Afghan refugee fundraising event at Shoreditch Town Hall. The external feedback on the Youth Group's development this year from parents, guardians and industry experts has been very positive.
Notable Performances and Partnerships
SBDCL groups performed in various events, including in celebration of the South Asian Heritage Month in Watersmeet, in the Bengali community's annual Durga Puja Festival in Goodmayes and a Diwali event at Marlborough House in London collaborating with Nutkhut, a well-established UK-based performing arts company. SBDCL also started a partnership with Memory Café, St Cuthbert Church, Brent, working with those living with dementia in the community.
Outreach Work
A key pillar of SBDCL's activity remains outreach work in different parts of the UK. The objective of this is to raise awareness of South Asian dance and music and to introduce new audiences to the artform. This year SBDCL's outreach work was focused on initiatives in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham which involved workshops and performances with various schools and community groups in these ACE Priority Places. SBDCL's work in Barking and Dagenham marks the furtherance of the organisation's strategic objective to prioritise initiatives and partnerships with local groups aligned to its priorities. This is further aligned to a broader Arts Council strategy to bring the arts to diverse groups and new audiences in these areas. SBDCL's artists and teachers were warmly welcomed and positively acknowledged by participants and the for their outreach work in the area on this project. This was viewed as a successful project by SBDCL and the project team involved as it resulted in approximately 2,000 children and young people watching and/or experiencing dance.
Spotlight
SBDCL's 'spotlight' series which was launched in March 2023 continues to demonstrates SBDCL's commitment to nurturing talented dance artists by giving them a performance platform, with live musicians in a small and intimate setting. This financial year brought more opportunities for students to further their development by taking part in this initiative. SBDCL will continue to offer these opportunities to its Academy students.
In summary, SBDCL's Board of Trustees consider that this financial year has been a successful one for the organization. SBDCL's activities and achievements have contributed to it being able to successfully meet its statutory objectives.
Public Benefit
SBDCL's Board remain satisfied, having considered the Charity Commission's Guidance and their obligations under section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, that SBDCL's activities continue to be undertaken for public benefit.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 May 2024
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 1 Stag Close, Edgware, HA8 5LQ.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of freehold land and buildings and fixed asset investments.
The Covid 19 outbreak did cause a significant disruption to the Charity's business. However as the restriction have been lifted the charity's activities has started again and the trustees are confident that the Charity can continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures & Fittings
- 20% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
