**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 2023. 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 

Some of the highlights from our year include: 

A successful nationwide tour of Butterflies (first performed in 2017) to audiences of over 1,000 young people in a mixture of theatres and community/school settings. The piece helped support many children (and parents) affected by lockdown/COVID anxieties. 

“ I brought my 5 and 3 year old to see Butterflies yesterday. They both absolutely loved it but my 5 year old especially. He is quite sensitive and sometimes nervous about doing new things, especially since COVID. We talked a lot after about it and he has been practising making a butterfly with his hands. I hope it is now a tool he can use going forward. It was a wonderful performance and so refreshing to see something a bit different for children - such a great message. The three performers were brilliant. Thank you.” Audience 

After two years of planning, research and development, we were delighted to bring Belongings to audiences in Luton, Canterbury, London and Stockton-on-Tees in the production’s inaugural national tour. Co-produced with Rowantree Dramatherapy, Belongings explores the complex stories of children passing through the care system and we’ve been humbled by the feedback the production has received. 

“So much more than theatre, Belongings is an outlet for therapy, a joyful celebration of childhood play, an articulation of resilience and a message that children in care can find their place in the world.” Review from everything-theatre.co.uk 

“It’s brilliantly done, managing to be extremely relatable for children with no experience of the care system while giving them a rare insight into the reality of life in foster care.” Review from TheFamilyStage.co.uk

**Year ended 31 March 2023** 

Nominated for two OFFIE Awards (Off West End Awards), Belongings will continue its development with national tours in Spring 2024 and beyond. 

Tangled Feet’s Pop-Up Performance shop, featuring a series of short productions and events that TF nurtured during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, opened to audiences in Luton in August 2022 (following its debut in summer 2021). We are continuing to work with several members of our wider ensemble to develop close to 40 projects we commissioned in summer 2020. 


Belongings, Gulbenkian Theatre (Spring Tour), March 2023 

Murmurations, by Steve Waters, continued its development with a performance at the Hartlepool Waterfront Festival in Summer 2022. Originally launched in 2021, Murmurations, an outdoor production that explores what we need from nature, and what nature needs from us during a time of recovery, will re-tour in autumn 2023. 

“Congrats Tangled Feet for terrific Murmurations at Hartlepool Waterfront Festival – creative, contemporary, relevant work.. one of the best sitespecific/promenade shows I’ve seen.” Audience 

“Feel very lucky to have experienced Tangled Feet’s Murmurations – a beautiful, story-filled journey through Teesmouth National Nature Reserve and a chance to contemplate our relationship with our local landscape.” Audience 

We continued to support our wider ensemble of freelancers with our Devolution Evolution project. Across 22/23 short film PICK IT was screened in London and entered into short film competitions across the UK. Stardust, a piece to be experienced on VR headsets, and outdoor theatre piece A Series of Attempts to Take Up Space (both development via Devolution Evolution) continued to be developed into full pieces. 

Tangled Feet continues its Task Force project, commissioned by the Department for Education, 

delivering a comprehensive and varied therapy programme for students in Pupil Referral Units (PRU) in Croydon. We employ eight therapists in the Task Force and are providing creative therapeutic interventions to 62 students who are at risk of peer violence and have experienced significant trauma. We deliver this complex, challenging and rewarding project across five sites, and in addition to working with young people, we deliver training for PRU staff supporting children experiencing developmental trauma, bereavement and suicide. 

Our Participation Programme continues to reach children, young people and emerging artists in our home town of Luton, and across the country, in an exciting range of activities. TF’s Mindfulness Project (originally created in 2018), that supports children experiencing mental health problems in educational settings has been delivered in 4 schools to over 60 participants in the last academic year. We have also delivered two Mindfulness Project camps as part of Active Luton’s Energise camp programme and delivered a performative version of the programme at the Imagine Children’s Festival, Southbank Centre. 

We have also led residencies with two Luton Sixth Forms (Cardinal Newman and Luton College) combining student cohorts with professional actors, designers, technicians and a director to create new performance pieces. We continued to be involved in the Luton Cultural Strategy Group, convened by Luton Council, to help support and shape Luton’s Cultural offer. 

In 2022/23 we added Binita Walia to our Board, who brings a wealth of PR expertise and previous young Trustee Adeyinka Akinrinade, actress and producer, became a full Trustee.

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

All professional paid internships on our productions have been rewarding and successful and we are grateful to funders such as The Hanley Trust, The Odin Charitable Trust, Bedfordshire & Luton Community Foundation and The Million Dollar Round Table Foundation who have supported our Participation Programme throughout the year. 

Tangled Feet’s work is only possible thanks to the generosity and kindness of all our supporters. 2022-23 was Tangled Feet’s fifth year as an ACE Portfolio Organisation (NPO) and we were delighted with the news that our application to remain an NPO during the period 2023-26 was successful. At a time when ACE is making significant changes and cuts to its National Portfolio, Tangled Feet’s annual NPO grant will increase to £291,000 (from £196,000). We remain incredibly grateful to ACE for their long-term support of our work, and our other key strategic funders including The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, and The Steel Charitable Trust.

## Risk management 

Inflation and a cost-of-living crisis are negatively influencing the arts and cultural organisations whose resources were already stretched due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tangled Feet is a dynamic and resourceful

organisation and we are proud of our ability to evolve and adapt, and manage risk, to continue delivering our impactful. 

With core funding in place as an Arts Council England NPO (and confirmed until March 2026) the charity is in a healthy position operating as a going concern. Tangled Feet has no debts, and no staff on permanent contracts. 

Commissioning fees continue to be impacted because of the coronavirus pandemic and inflation, and therefore Tangled Feet must remain creative, flexible and responsive to ensure 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. 


Butterflies, The Albany (Autumn Tour) October 2022 

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and established procedures to manage those risks in a risk register. 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 (incl. retouring the Devolution Evolution project – ‘Pop Up Performance Shop’ in Rochdale and Hull, retouring ‘Murmurations’ at two new locations in Essex and Perthshire, and an extensive retour of OFFIE nominated ‘Belongings’). Alongside  targeted participation work (incl. established artistic residencies at Luton Colleges and Sixth Forms) there will also be commencement of our Dramatherapy provision at pupil referral units in Croydon, with new site Melbury coming on line in September 2023. Both the mindfulness in schools project and the Department for Education’s – Taskforce programme have also been renewed from then and will carry over into the next accounting period (2024-2025).  Other assigned activity (2023-2024) will also include a small autumn retour of the children’s production ‘Butterflies’, more R&D work (incl. working titles ‘Deep Adaptation’ and ‘Stardust’) plus the creation of a freelance steering group. Further training will be initiated for the Core team and trustees on Strategic planning, employee wellbeing and more enhanced training in diversity, equity and inclusion. 

## Financial results 

During the current financial year the Charity achieved a deficit of £4,059 (2022: surplus of £35,883), decreasing total reserves at year end to £226,596 (2022: £230,655). 

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. Tangled Feet is a lean organisation delivering significant value for money. 

## Reserves policy 

Tangled Feet’s reserves (policy and designated) 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 £191,743 (2022: £178,509) assigned as follows: 

- £53,342 (2022: £44,437) designated to general reserves (incl. Free Reserves) 

- £138,401 (2022: £134,072) designated to core activity expenditure in 2024 

## Statement of board of trustees’ responsibilities 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

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 charitable company and of the excess of income over expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and 

- then apply them consistently; 

- 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 charitable company will continue its activities. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s

transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charitable company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. In addition, the trustees confirm that they are happy that content of the annual review in pages 5 to 10 of this document meet the requirements of both the Trustees’ Annual Report under charity law and the Directors’ Report under company law.

## **REBECCA ALLEN** 

## **CHAIR** 

The financial year 22/23 was a busy year of multiple projects (re-touring old work, staging new work, award nominations and a continued increase in our work with young people). We were really pleased to get so much work in front of young people with Butterflies re-touring widely and Belongings having its premiere. That work, coupled with our participation work in Luton and our Dramatherapy work in Croydon, demonstrate our commitment to young people. We are very proud that in 22/23 the investment in our Dramatherapy work was equal to the investment in our artistic practice and that we are now recognised as an industry leader in Dramatherapeutic practice.  We were pleased to be able to continue to support our freelance community through the continued development of their projects and the celebration and protection of their value to the arts sector. 2023 saw us re-enter the Arts Council’s National Portfolio of core regularly funded companies with an increased settlement for our work. In squeezed financial times we are humbled by this support of our artistic practice and valued output. We continued to champion artist led practice in Luton and the paid and consistent development of young people in Luton alongside a cultural strategy that meets its audience and participants in local, meaningful and relevant activity.

## **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 2023 which are set out on pages 13 to 32. 

## 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,

- 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.

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

**Year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **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 2023, 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 2023 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 wider economic environment 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.

## 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: 

Computer equipment 5 years staight line 

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 £138,401 to be carried forward and allocated against artistic activity on projects that will now span tax years 23-24 and 24-25. These funds, which also contain commission fees, funds set aside for storage, capital purchases, participation projects, staff training and Dramatherapy costs (including funds for a new Therapeutic Theatre R&D), were mainly dispersed over 2324, and some assigned to 24-25 spend. A large proportion of the funds have been utilised on cross year touring costs for Murmurations, the Pop Up Peformance Shops, Belongings and on R&D costs for Devolution Evolution projects Star Dust and A Series of Attempts to Take Up Space. The funds will also form the basis of extensive costs on a new R&D project about on trauma recovery, currently titled Deep Adaptation. Additional use of the funds will also go towards further development of Luton school artistic residencies, plus a new ‘Freelance Steering Group’ as part of our ongoing perceptions audit and self-reflective model of analysis. 

Grants for the Arts – Without Walls Commission
