**Tangled Feet Limited** Annual report and financial statements 

## **Trustees annual report** 

The Board of Trustees, who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, and trustees for charity law purposes, submit their annual report and the financial statements of Tangled Feet Limited for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Board of Trustees confirms that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with current statutory requirements, including the Charity Act 2011, as well as the requirements of the Charity’s governing document and the provisions of 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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006. 

## Objectives and activities 

Tangled Feet aims to increase access to, and participation in high-quality, industry-leading theatre. We endeavour to make unique opportunities for young people to engage with our work and aim to share our work with people that rarely, if ever, visit the theatre. Tangled Feet is proud to be an artist-led ensemble, with the founders of the company still involved in all aspects of the artistic activity. 

The principal activities of the charity in the year under review were delivering an artistic programme of theatre productions and a participation programme for disadvantaged young people to engage with the theatre. These activities included non-ticketed, free-to-access performances, educational workshops, training sessions, mentoring programmes for young and emerging artists, and paid work placements and internships. 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the Charity. 

## Achievements and performance in the year 

Work on our project Devolution Evolution began in Spring 2020 at the beginning of the covid pandemic. We commissioned 27 artists to develop their own creative ideas and new performances, video, film, balloon modelling, aerial, projection, sound, and scripts were created. We were delighted to bring many of these creations to audiences in Luton at the Hat Works, and in a pop-up performance shop in a mall in Luton in summer 2021. Many of the original collaborators have gone on to further develop their ideas into full productions, independent to Tangled Feet, and some remain under our stewardship with another pop-up performance shop of Devolution Evolution artists scheduled for summer 2022. 

Between June-July 2021 and January-March 2022 we remounted Butterflies in a UK tour to schools and theatres, reaching thousands of young people aged 3-8 with our story exploring anxiety in children. Accompanying workshops and resource packs supported the production. Butterflies was originally created in 2018 in a co-production with Half Moon Theatre, and will retour once again in autumn 2022. 

“Butterflies shines a light on the challenging circumstances many young people are living in. As someone who has had anxiety for as long as I can remember – certainly from the age of the young audience sat around me, captivated by the show – seeing Butterflies 20 years ago would have been a truly transformative experience, though watching it now is powerful enough. ”childrenstheatrereviews.com - Sept 2018 

We performed Murmurations, a new play by Steve Waters, at RSPB Strumshaw Fen Nature Reserve and National Trust Wicken Fen Nature reserve in September 2021. Through live scenes and songs, poetry and physical theatre, comedy and tragedy, Murmurations is a guided tour into nature that explores what we need from nature and what nature needs from us in a world recovering from sickness 

Our production But When?, a co-production with Next Generation Youth Theatre and The Culture Trust is an outdoor performance experienced on headsets allowing audiences to follow four friends on their journey back to each other after a long separation period due to lockdown and the restrictions of 2020, performed to audiences on 19th and 20th November 2021 on the streets of Luton outside the Hat Factory.

“I was lucky enough to get one of these last tickets - and was absolutely blown away, what an incredible play & performance. Thank you @tangledfeet & @RSBPStrumpshaw. Stunning.” Audience feedback 

In collaboration with Rowan Tree Dramatherapy, we have continued to research and develop Belongings, a production exploring the stories of children who are part of the care system and do not live with their birth parents. This work has included the careful inclusion of care-experienced young people as creative advisors and test audiences, and feedback from initial test showings has demonstrated that the show is extremely resonant and authentically connected to their experiences. 


Research & Development, ‘Belongings’, March ‘22 

Demand for our Participation Programme activities has increased significantly over the last two years, as a mental health crisis for young people has taken its toll. Our Mindfulness Project is fully booked until the end of this academic year, and we have expressions of interest in the project that could see us fully booked for the entirety of the 2022-23 academic year (with current staff levels). We are sector-leaders with our provision of Dramatherapy services. 

Our Participation Programme continues to work with some of the most disadvantaged young people in our local communities (Luton) and areas of interest (Croydon). Our Mindfulness Project has been delivered in eight schools local to us in Luton, and at a Pupil Referral Unit in Croydon in the last 12 months. With funding from BBC Children in Need, we doubled the service provision and reached new Luton schools, many in deprived areas with low cultural engagement, for example Leagrave Primary School where 94% of pupils have English as a second language, and Tennyson Road Primary School where an alarming 94% of students are from income deprived families. We have collected staggering data about the disadvantages faced by young people in Luton and are working to create new projects and expand delivery of our existing services to those worst affected. 

TF have been commissioned by the Department of Education to introduce a comprehensive and varied therapy programme for students in PRU in Croydon. We employ nine therapists and are offering creative 

therapeutic interventions to 70 students (who are at risk of peer violence and have experienced significant trauma) across five sites, and in addition to working with young people we have delivered training for staff supporting children experiencing developmental trauma, bereavement and suicide. 

TF’s work is only possible thanks to the goodwill and generosity of our supporters. 2021-22 was Tangled Feet’s fourth year as an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation – we remain incredibly grateful to ACE for their long-term support of our work, and our other key strategic funders: The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, The Odin Charitable Trust and The Steel Charitable Trust. Earlier this year TF submitted an application to remain in the Arts Council National Portfolio for a period of three years from April 2023, and we are optimistic our plans and achievements will persuade our other key funders to continue their support in future years.

## Risk management 

The coronavirus pandemic continues to have an impact across the world, with inflation and a cost-of-living crisis taking hold in the UK at the time of preparing this report. Arts and cultural organisations and their activities came to a virtual standstill in Spring 2020 as society was ordered into lockdown. Those in our profession have had to evolve and adapt to continue to deliver creative projects. 

Tangled Feet’s Trustees have carefully considered the company’s situation in response to the pandemic. Following a successful application, our core-funding from Arts Council England (ACE) was extended until 31 March 2023. With core funding in place, no debts, and no staff on permanent contracts, Tangled Feet continues as a going concern. 

Commissioning fees are being impacted because of coronavirus and inflation, and therefore TF must remain creative, flexible and responsive to ensure to we continue to achieve our aims and objectives. We’ll continue to work in partnership with others to seek out new opportunities to engage with those who have been impacted by the pandemic. 

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and established procedures to manage those risks. The Trustees consider the variability of income to be a significant risk in the short to medium term. Long term risks include the loss of the Senior Management Team and key creative members of the wider ensemble.

## Future Plans 

Going forward, the trustees’ intention is to continue running the charity along similar lines to those carried out in recent years, to meet the charity’s objectives. Tangled Feet will resume delivering high quality artistic programmes (e.g. developing the Devolution Evolution project, retouring ‘Murmurations’ and staging the premier of ‘Belongings’), alongside targeted participation work (incl. residency work at Luton College) and commencement of Dramatherapy provision at Saffron Valley Collegiate PRU and at a new site, Bensham Manor PRU.  Other assigned activity (2022-2023) will include an autumn tour of  the children’s production ‘Butterflies’, R&D work, and an in-depth period of equalities training for trustees and senior management

## Financial results 

During the current financial year the Charity achieved a surplus of £35,883 (2021: surplus of £91,324), increasing total reserves at year end to £230,655 (2021: £194,772). 

The Trustees are satisfied with the financial performance of the charity throughout the year. No Tangled Feet project is ever delivered without the budget being secured, and the charity has never taken on any debt. Fundraising activity aims to support the core costs of the charity – the salaries of the Senior Management Team and towards project costs. As per previous years, governance costs remain commendably low. 

## Reserves policy 

Tangled Feet’s reserve policy aim is to target a sum of funds as ‘designated reserves’ that is separate to any allocated expenditure commitments. These funds would support the Charity in case of unexpected changes in funding and to meet any unplanned expenditure. The target level of designated reserve is calculated at £50,000. This target is equivalent to 3 months ‘core costs’, estimated to be at £40,000 plus £10,000 available for any discretionary expenditure. The Charity aims to achieve this reserve level by the end of  March 2026 and has initiated a plan to allocate £5,000 per year, plus frequent additional funds made from fees and commissions in order to meet this target. The Trustees review the reserves policy every year to make relevant adjustments. 

At year-end Tangled Feet had unrestricted reserves of £178,509 (2021: £149,280) assigned as follows: 

- £44,437 (2021: £32,371) designated to general reserves (incl. Free Reserves) 

- £134,072 (2021: £117,009) designated to core activity expenditure in 2023 and 2024 

## Statement of board of trustees’ responsibilities

## **REBECCA ALLEN** 

## **CHAIR** 

The financial year 2021/22 saw us building back stability and momentum after the the Covid pandemic (and associated lockdowns) and delivering a large amount of backlogged work. The year was still fraught with delays following the knock on effect of the Jan to March 2021 lockdown and the continuing cancellation of events and issues caused by self isolation and infection rates. There was an unprecedented pause in activity in 20/21 and Tangled Feet dynamically shifted its mode of operation focusing on freelancer support, online activity and research and development for new Covid secure productions. 2021/22 saw us delivering these projects in schools, outdoors, as pop up events and online. The model of working became more reactive, flexible and able to pop up quickly. Financially we needed to remain dynamic and flexible with large contingencies held on projects for Covid working and an ability to cancel, delay or re-shape projects. Outdoor working methodology, smaller pop up projects and following strict testing protocols allowed us to avoid major problems. There was a high activity rate as we attempted to re-stage work from 20/21 alongside existing plans for 21/22 which resulted in some 21/22 projects needing to be pushed to 22/23 (resulting in some financial carry over). Our core funding enables stability in these times and our model of using this funding for both part time wages and artistic projects allow us to make things happen - not rest on the comfort of salaries. As the cultural world re-emerges from Covid, change is occurring. Long held inequalities are clearer than ever, the freelance community (the backbone of the industry) exist in a precarious position, audiences may not return to auditoriums in the same way again, venues have become risk adverse and work needs to remain flexible more than ever.

**Tangled Feet Limited** Annual report and financial statements 

**Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Independent examiner’s report** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Tangled Feet Limited (charity number 1143406, company number 05079495) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 12 to 31. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’) nor under Part 16 of the 2006 Act, and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under 

- section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and, 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the Charity’s Trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made. 

## Basis of independent examiner’s statement 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. 

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## Independent examiner’s statement 

Since the Company’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 in England & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 

- Act; or, 

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or, 

**•** 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,

**Year ended 31 March 2022** 

**Tangled Feet Limited** Annual report and financial statements 

**•** the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## 1.    Accounting policies 

Basis of preparation of the financial statements 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), including Update Bulletin 1, and the Companies Act 2006. 

The effect of any event relating to the year ended 31 March 2022, which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Trustees has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 31 March 2022 and the results for the year ended on that date. 

The functional currency of the Charity is GBP and amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Board of Trustees is confident that future reserves and future income is more than sufficient to meet current commitments. There are no material uncertainties that impact this assessment, and the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has had no material impact on this assessment. 

## Legal status 

Tangled Feet Limited is a charitable company registered in England & Wales and meets the definition of a public benefit entity. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member. The registered address is 33 Raynham Street, Hertford, SG13 7DE. 

## 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 of 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 note 13 of the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 13 of the financial statements. 

## Income 

Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance indicators attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Donations are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when entitled, receipt is probable and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gift aid receivable is included when claimable.

**Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## 1.    Accounting policies (continued from previous page) 

Income (continued from previous page) 

Grant income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless the grant relates to a future period, in which case it is deferred. 

Income from charitable activities is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless it relates to a specific future period or event, in which case it is deferred. 

Other income consists of amounts received from HMRC as part of the Theatre Tax Relief system. 

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. 

Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to that activity including freelancers and production or participation costs, as well as the staff time directly attributable to that activity, namely the cost of the two co-artistic directors. 

Indirect costs, including governance costs, which cannot be directly attributed to activities, are allocated proportionate to total direct costs allocated to each project area, as outlined in note 5 of the financial statements. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred. 

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation 

All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised. 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their residual value, over their useful life, on the following basis: 

Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance 

Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand, deposits with banks and funds that are readily convertible into cash at, or close to, their carrying values, but are not held for investment purposes. 

## Debtors and prepayments 

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

## Creditors and accruals 

Creditors are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party, and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

1.    Accounting policies (continued from previous page) 

## Critical estimates and judgements 

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The treatment of tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in useful economic lives and residual values of assets. In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year. 

## Pensions 

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is administered by an external independent pension provider. Contributions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as they fall due. 

## Financial instruments 

Basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost other than investments which are measured at fair value.

## Artistic development 

During the prior year the charity designated £134,072 to be carried forward and allocated against artistic activity on projects that have now spanned tax years and were delayed due to pandemic. These funds, which also contain commission fees, funds set aside for storage, capital purchases, participation projects and staff training, were dispersed over 22-23. The majority of funds will be applied to the development of a brand-new production called ‘Belongings’ inspired by children in care (initially scheduled for development in 20-21); further realizations of the Devolution Evolution programme including ‘Shop Front’ (July ’22); the continuation of the delayed part of the ‘But When’ schools project (November ’22). Plus additional funding for another ‘Butterflies’ schools/children’s theatre tour (October ’22) and a reworking of the outdoor location specific play ‘Murmurations’ in Hartlepool (June’22). 

Grants for the Arts – Without Walls Commission 

This was a research and development funding award restricted to the initial creation phase of a large-scale outdoor production (initially titled Eyes on Stalks but later titled Rave New World).

## Royal Opera House Bridge 

A Learning Offer Development Fund from ROHB used to gain a greater understanding of how to create authentic and relatable theatrical experiences with and for teenagers. To develop a better understanding of the mental health issues that face this age group in the Luton area. The funds support TF in building relationships and gain insight from a range of youth organisations in the region, to use their wealth of knowledge and understanding to contribute to our working processes with teenagers. The fund helps Tangled Feet develop a set of strategic aims for work with this age group over the next 4 years.  The fund also allows the Tangled Feet team to gain insight from a range of educational leaders, teachers and support staff in a variety of educational settings and to develop an online safeguarding strategy for working with this age group. 

## Steel Charitable Trust 

Funding supporting three strands of activity, all based in Luton, over a 3 year period. The first strand is to create a new piece of theatre bringing artistic excellence to Luton and its audiences. The second is to tour a piece of work to Luton schools, alongside accompanying post show workshops and supporting resources. The third strand is to create career pathways in the Arts for early stage career artists based in Luton through mentorship, work placements and internship on Tangled Feet projects over the 3 years.
