Structure, governance and management

The Organisation is a Charitable Company limited by Guarantee. It was established under a Memorandum of Association and is governed under its Articles of Assosication whioch set out the objects and powers of the Charitable Company. (See"Objectives and Activities" below)

The Trustees and Directors, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who are alos charity Trustees for the purposes of charitable law, and who served during the year were:

Mr M James Mrs F Raines Mr S Saaidah Ms S Harries Mrs P J Steers (retired December 2023) Mr P Russell (Chair) Ms V Balaam Mr P Hart (Treasurer - joined the board January 2024)

We were very sorry that Mrs Pip Steers had to step down from the Board for personal reasons. The board expressed their heartfelt appreciation to Pip for her commitment to Freewheelers and for her long service to the company, initially as a volunteer, then as a board member and finally as a chair of the board between 2018 - 2022. We are delighted to welcome Mr Peter Hart to the board.

None of the Trustees and Directors has any benefical interest in the company. All of the Directors are members of the company and in the event of the company being wound up, each member would be required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

To adequately represent the disabled community, who are the principal beneficiaries of the charity, two Trustees are disabled memebers of the workshops funded by the charity. Traditional business skills, fundraising skills and experience in the field of public provison in the arts are well represented on the board. There is constant monitoring of the range of skills which feeds into the recruitment of new memebers. Trustees are required to read the Commissions guide "The Essential Trustee" which is distributed to all new Trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles and the latest financial statements.

All Trustees give their time as Trustees voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity for their work as Trustees. The Board normally meet four times a year. Trustees may be paid for their professional services, but only at a commercial rate and not in connection with their role as Trustees.

The charity has no subsidiaries or other related parties.

FREEWHEELERS THEATRE AND MEDIA LIMITED

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (cont/d)

The Trustees and Directors have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate these exposures.

Company procedures ensure compliance with legislation on the health and safety of staff, Volunteers, clients and visitors to the workshops. Staff, volunteers and clients are also informed of our policies regarding protection of vulnerable people, equality and diversity, and confidiently. All Trustees, staff and volunteers who carry out regulated activities are DBS checked, as are our senior company memebers who sometimes mentor workshops in schools.

Volunteers

The company benefits from input from volunteers. We have 17 regular volunteers and many others who give their support on a one-off basis. Between them our regular volunteers have donated over 2,000 hours of their time over the past year.

What our volunteers say:

"Working with such a diverse group of people is both humbling and educating."

"Working and being part of the performances is so inspiring and so much fun to work on, with such wonderful people."

"I felt so self-conscious at the beginning, that soon changed."

Objectives and activities

Our purposes as set out in the Objects are contained in the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association. The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are:

· The advancement of education for the public benefit by the promotion of The arts and in particular but not exclusively, the art of theatre.

· The advancement of the arts, culture and heritage for the public benefit.

These objects have not changed during the year.

The Trustees and Directors have paid due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

The policies adopted in furtherance of these objectives are:

· The provision of education workshops, particularly for disabled but also for non-disabled actors, dancers, musicians and film-makers, enabling them to learn the skills of theatre, media, dance and music.

· The provision of opportunities for our students to take part in both live and filmed performances in front of audiences.

Achievement and performance

Our objectives and how we have fulfilled them.

1. To maintain and where possible increase student numbers

We run 11 regular weekly workshops throughout the year for a total of 39 weeks = 429 workshops.

We currently have 120 regular weekly workshop attendees.

- 2. To provide value for money to funders, donors and fee payers

We achieve a high level of efficiency at very low cost. Our workshop and rehearsal spaces at the Bridge were provided at low rates by Surrey Clubs for Young People, however on Tuesday 17 October we recevied a call to say that the Bridge was unsafe due to the discovery of RAAC (reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete) in the roof and we were told to vacate the building immediately. We were able to quickly move ourselves and all our things to The Jam Place who kindly offered us immediate accommodation. We are able to use the Jam Place ground floor space to run our workshops on Monday and Tuesday 23 and 24 October

The disruption meant having to cancel workshops on 17, 20 and 31 October.

Between 17 October and the end of the year several venue options have been considered and enquiries to a variety of different organisations and venues were made. Altogether over 50 venues were considered.

The Lighthouse

Eventually, the Leatherhead Parish Church called to offer us space in their Lighthouse church hall. We had looked at the Lighthouse at the commencement of our search and although it appeared to be a very suitable space for us, we discounted it because we were told that is was not available on the days we needed it. Subsequently, the Parish Church said that they wanted to welcome us and that they would terminate or move existing bookings so that they could accommodate us.

The Arts Council England have subsequently provided funding for an access audit, which took place on 6 February 2024. Further to this, plans for changes to the building to make the toilets and other spaces have been drawn up and submitted to the Parish Church.

3. To increase the skills, health and well-being of our students and give them opportunities to realise their ambitions

One of our ambitions for the next three years is to support the development of leadership from among our company members. To this end, this year we established a Freewheelers 'Ambassadors Group, which comprises representatives from each of our workshops. The Ambassadors Group report to our board on the progress of each workshop. They also make recommendations for improvements.

We have also established subgroups with representatives from our company, staff and board, based on the Arts Council England's four investment principles:

We are committed to ensuring that every student, no matter how profound their disability, can take part in all our activites.

Our Company members performed live or on film in the following public on-line events:

Performance Date Venue Nature of performance
Amazed 29/04/2023 Downsend School Music concert
Wonderdusk 16/09/2023 Box Hill Outdoor community event
Do No Disturb 31/10/2023 Leatherhead Theatre Premier film screening of Do Not Dis
Wonderdusk 29/11/2023 University of Surrey Live Performance
Us & Them 01/12/2023 Horton Arts, Epsom Exhibition
Royal Visit: HRH Duke of Edin 06/03/2024 The Lighthouse, Leatherhead Live performance of Wonderdusk
Freewheelers Have Talent 09/03/2024 The Lighthouse, Leatherhead Live Performances

Wonderdusk - 16 September 2023 - Box Hill

Freewheelers took part in Wonderdusk on Box Hill on 16 September. Wonderdusk was organised by Surrey Hills Arts and hosted by the National Trust.

Freewheelers were invited to play a lead role alongside other groups and artists including the Mole Valley Poets, musician Graham Dowdall, Zambesi Dance Co, artist Helena Doyle and choir leader Anna Tabbush. 594 people attended the event.

In the weeks leading up to the 16th September, we led community model bird making workshops, which were run by us and by Surrey Hill Arts. In total we made 311 bird puppets. The design and templates for our Wonderdusk birdswere ma with support from puppet maker Nick Barnes.

In addition, we also made several dioramas;, small models, each outlining a scene that was enacted by company memers as part of the performances experiences by audiences as they followed the trial. The dioramas acted as a three-dimension Wonderdusk storyboard.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (cont/d)

The key achievements were:

Royal Visit

Freewheelers was delighted to welcome HRH the Duke of Edinburgh to our new home the Lighthouse, The Leatherhead Parish Church Hall on Wednesday 6 March 2024. We also welcomed the Lord Lieutenant, Michael More-Molyneux and representatives from the Orpheus Centre, Bloomin Arts and DAiSY (Disability Arts in Surrey).

We relocated to the Lightbox, Parish Church Hall, at the beginning of the year further to the closure of the Bridge Centre in north Leatherhead in October due to building safety concerns and this will be the first time the company receives visitors in our new home.

During the visit the Duke and guests were invited to view a display of tintype photographic portrait prints recently created with photographer Emma Brown as part of a project callued Us & Them. Eight Freewheeler artists who, with support from Surrey History Centre's Julian Pooley and Dr Alana Harris from UCL researched nineteenth- century wet-plate collodion photographs and glass-plate negatives that were originally generated in Surrey's phychiatric (and learning disability) institutions. By re-staging and provocatively 'pairing' portrait images of Freewheeler company members with the original Victorian photographs, these heritage objects are repurposed for stigma-dispelling and restorative justice purposes and celebrate our experiences and agency in making and sharing art.

Following introductions to members of staff and student from the Orpheus Centre, Bloomin' Arts and DAiSY, the Duke was invited to join Freewheelers company members in three 'Wonderdusk' workshop activities, based on a Surrey Hills Arts community celebration hosted by the National Trust and led by Freewheelers during the autumn equinox on Box Hil His Royal Highness was then invited across the road to the beautiful 1,000 year old Parish Church, to join a music works which in stark contrast to it's ancient surrounding is based on the use of modern iPad technology enabling Freewheeler wheelchair users to create and compose their own music and soundscapes.

We finished off the visit with the Duke taking part in the Wonderdusk murmuration dance which involved using the bird puppets made during the planning and making of the project.

4. To be accessible to people on low incomes

Many of the disabled people who attend our workshops and participate in these activities would not have been able to do so without the support of the charity and its funders. Our policy is not to exclude any student, and therefore we partially or fully subside places for several of our company members.

5. To expand our links with the local community and the range of activities we provide

During this financial year we have made it a priority to reach out to our local Leatherhead community and to build closer working relationships with the Leatherhead Community Hub. We regularly hold meetings in the hub café and have taken part in various community events. We have also begun to work together on joint funding bids. We worked together with the LCH on a Carnival of Kindness, which took place in December 2024.

Financial Review

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds (i.e. funds which have not been designated for a specific use) should be maintained at a level equivalent to approximately three months' expenditure. The Trustees and Directors consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding, the Company will be able to continue it's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

However, to operate successfully, we need to be able to raise considerable amounts of money in excess of fee income, both to maintain our unrestricted reserves and for specific activities including workshop sponsorship, materials, filmmaking and theatre performances. Fundraising is challenging as there is considerable competition for funds. However, we are pleased to report that our application to the Arts Council to become a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) was successfeul. This ensures core funding for the next three years, 2024 - 2027. In addition, we are in the process of making targeted funding applications to a range of other potential funders with a view to enhancing our short and long-term funding.

Sources of Funding: Restricted Funds

We are very grateful to all our funders, without whom Freewheelers would not exist. Our work is generously supported through donations and grant funding. This year, in addition to NPO funding received from Arts Council England, we recevied grants from:

Organisational News

Over the past year, Freewheelers has reviewed and updated its financial policies. Freewheelers finances are now now managed using the Xero Financial Management platform.

Freewheelers has reviewed its IT infrastructure and signed up to Olic IT support to bring our IT systems up to standard in terms of efficiency, data storage and sharing, GDPR compliance and cyber-security.

In line with our updating of processes and procedures within the Company, six company members work under PAYE contracts. Two staff members, Jacqui Everington and Pete Higson are full time employees.

Comms

Over the past year 22 blogs have been published sharing news and featuring views and stories from across our company. Blogs are sent to 250 subscribers. In addition, 3 newsletters were published as well as numerous one-off notices.
