**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 2024. 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 – as they were when the company was formed in 2003. 

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 theatrical profession. These activities included non-ticketed, free-to-access performances, educational workshops, training sessions, mentoring programmes for young and emerging artists, therapeutic intervention projects, and paid work placements and internships. 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 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: 

Our production Murmurations was re-mounted at Bedfords Park in collaboration with Havering Changing and Essex Wildlife Trust. We were pleased with the outcomes of this project – particularly in our nurturing and support of the creative and producing team. A review of Murmurations from local paper The Havering Daily: 

“Murmurations feels freshly innovative; it’s part of a wider creative movement that approaches environmental subjects with a positive sense of natural wonderment, combined with empathy, fun and a lightness of touch. Transformative change is conceptualised as an uneven trail to stumble along, where– even when faced with deepest grief, confusion, division and social inequality–there is always hope.” 

The Pop Up Performance shop visited Hull and Rochdale in the year. Originally created in 2020 when TF and our wider ensemble reacted to the pandemic lockdowns by generating solo projects, the Performance Shop is now a successful touring project that continues to reach audiences in shopping malls. 

Our hugely successful piece of therapeutic theatre, Butterflies (co-produced with Half Moon Theatre), toured to Luton schools in winter 2023. These performances mean that Butterflies is now in its 7th year of performances and is our longest-running production. Feedback: 

“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.” www.childrenstheatrereviews.com 

Another piece of therapeutic theatre, Belongings, continued to reach audiences through a national tour.

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

**Year ended 31 March 2024** 

Originally performed in summer 2022, in spring 2024 we reached audiences in Brighton, Exeter, Reading, London and Bath with our story that explores the lives of some of the near 100,000 children with experience of living in the care system in the UK. Belongings was nominated for two Off West End Awards (best production and best performance by an ensemble). Some feedback: 

“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.” Everythingtheatre.com 


Mindfulness Project, Luton Schools, funded by Bedford and Luton Community Fund 

We are developing a new project called Deep Adaptation to explore the large adaptations linked to personal trauma and issues that society is experiencing such as the cost of living crisis, the long-lasting and wideranging impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the climate emergency. In the year we held two research and development periods at which 14 artists came together to collaborate and explore creative responses to the theme. We will continue to nurture this idea and aim to bring an element of performance to audiences in 2025. 

TF continues its Task Force project, commissioned by the Department of Education, delivering a comprehensive and varied therapy programme for students in Pupil Referral Units (PRU) in Croydon. We employ a team of therapists in the Task Force and are providing creative therapeutic interventions to over 60 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) supports children experiencing mental health problems in schools. The project has been delivered in five schools to over 100 participants this year, including whole school wellbeing focus days. We have also run wellbeing holiday camps at Luton Library in partnership with Active Luton for over 80 children. Professional paid internships and university work placements on all our productions and programmes have been rewarding and successful. Our in-school Residencies, supporting curriculum, at Luton College and Cardinal Newman School have seen students create unique outdoor performances that have been performed to entire school cohorts. 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. 

Indeed, TF’s work is only possible thanks to the generosity and kindness of all our supporters. 2023-24 was Tangled Feet’s sixth year as an ACE Portfolio Organisation (NPO) and we remain humbled by this status, the level of support, and are mindful of the responsibilities it brings. We remain incredibly grateful to ACE for their long-term support of our work, and our other key strategic funders including The Bedfordshire & Luton Community Foundation.

## 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. TF is a resourceful organisation and we are proud of our ability to evolve and adapt, and to manage risk whilst delivering our impactful work. 

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. TF has no debts, and no staff on permanent contracts. 

Commissioning fees continue to be impacted because of the pandemic in 2020 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 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 

Looking ahead, the trustees plan to maintain the charity’s current approach, continuing to meet its objectives through a range of artistic and community-focused activities. Tangled Feet will build on its success by delivering high-quality artistic programs, including the continued touring of the OFFIE-nominated children’s show, Belongings, to new venues and audiences. A new outdoor performance, Rave New World, commissioned in partnership with Revoluton Arts CIC, will also be launched.

Annual report and financial statements 

In addition to these artistic ventures, the charity will expand its targeted participation work. This includes established artistic residencies at Luton Colleges and Sixth Forms, as well as an increased focus on Dramatherapy services in Croydon-based pupil referral units and schools. New sites under Melbury College, along with new service agreements at The Limes College, Riddlesdown Collegiate, and Aerodrome Primary Academy, will begin in September 2024. 

Ongoing projects, such as the Mindfulness in schools initiative and the Department for Education’s Taskforce programme, have been renewed and will extend into the 2025-2026 accounting period. Further activities for 2024-2025 include research and

development work on Deep Adaptation (working title) and a new co-creation project for young people with Polka Theatre, utilising our developed Therapeutic Theatre model. Furthermore, the charity will continue to enhance its local creative outreach with a new programme of community talent development funded by the Bedfordshire and Luton Community Fund, entitled Ignite. 

Tangled Feet will also undergo a transformation in its communications strategy, with a redevelopment of the charity’s website and messaging. The charity will continue to benefit from guidance provided by the freelance steering group, working with industry partners like the NPO Artist Led Network to develop best practices. Additional training for the core team and trustees will focus on areas such as Decolonisation, Radicalising creative practice, Climate action, Strategic planning, and employee wellbeing. 

## Financial results 

During the current financial year the Charity achieved a surplus of £36,551 (2023: deficit of £4,059), increasing total reserves at year end to £263,147 (2023: £226,596). 

The Trustees are satisfied with the financial performance of the charity throughout the year. No Tangled Feet project is ever delivered without funding 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 project costs. As per previous years, governance costs remain commendably low. TF is a lean organisation delivering significant value for money. 

## Reserves policy 

Tangled Feet’s reserve policy allocates 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 £63,120. This target is equivalent to 3 months ‘core costs’, estimated to be at £53,120 plus £10,000 available for any discretionary expenditure. 

The Charity aims to achieve this reserve level by the end of 31 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 £242,742 (2023: £191,743) assigned as follows: 

- £66,511 (2023: £53,342) designated to general reserves (incl. free Reserves) 

- £176,231 (2023: £138,401) designated to core activity expenditure in 2025 

## Investment (St. James Place) 

In June 2023, the Board has unanimously decided to invest £40,000 into a St. James’s Place Unit Trust. This

**Year ended 31 March 2024** 

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

strategic investment is aimed at ensuring the long-term financial stability and growth of our organisation. St. James’s Place, known for its strong track record and expertise in wealth management, offers a robust platform that aligns with our financial goals. The decision reflects our commitment to prudent financial stewardship, providing a reliable foundation for future projects and initiatives. The Board is confident that this investment will yield favourable returns, supporting our mission and expanding our impact. Governance and oversight is provided by Trustee Sandro Forte, Finance Director and senior management team, with regular performance reporting to the Board of Trustees using quarterly summary information from St James Place client portal. 

From the initial deposit of £40,000 in July 2023 to the year-end, the fund performed solidly, achieving an 8.6% increase in value, growing to £43,454. Aligned with the charity’s investment strategy of fostering financial sustainability through capital growth, Tangled Feet has decided to reinvest these gains back into the unit trust, allowing the growth to continue to compound over time. 

## 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.

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.

The 23-24 financial year was an extremely busy year that saw us working across the UK, delivering an array of creative projects that exemplifies Tangled Feet’s range and dexterity. 

In a very competitive funding climate, we were humbled to receive an uplift in our grant funding from ACE which recognised the signifiant increase in our scope and turnover over the preceding five years, and our contribution to the Luton landscape, where we have become an influential part of the Arts and Culture Strategy group, often straddling the perspective gap between the resourced organisations and the freelance artist community in the town. We are proud to continue to advocate for the freelance workforce, and our nascent Freelance Steering Group continues to challenge us to do this well. 

We headed out from our Luton base across the UK this year, from Scotland to Cornwall. The Pop Up Shop went from strength to strength in Rochdale and then Hull, touring a strong and diverse menu of accessible short works developed by TF freelancers as they honed their skills as lead artists. Simultaneously, the Murmurations team were spreading their wings again in two very different natural environments in Scotland and in Havering, demonstrating TF’s versality. 

We began new paths of creative exploration with Deep Adaptation Research and Development: as the world evolves to meet its uncertain future, so do we. 

Our Therapies provision continued to expand, as the Taskforce project was extended and additional schools requested our services. The professional evaluation of this work that we commissioned is now demonstrating its significant impact and helps us to make the case for the change it makes to young people’s lives and prospects. 

We finished the year on a high: as Belongings begun its national tour the creative team convened to celebrate at the Offie Awards where the show was a finalist in the Best Production: Children And Young People category. This show, which places young people’s experience at the heart of the creative process, exemplifies the meeting point of our theatrical and therapeutic arms.  Three years in the making we are enormously proud to have its success and richness of this work recognised by our industry peers. 

In the year we turn 20, we are proud of the place we have carved for ourselves in the UK arts landscape, of the ensemble of extraordinary artists who work with us, and of the values we continue to espouse together.

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

## **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 2024 which are set out on pages 13 to 33. 

## 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, 

Charity number 1143406 Company number 05079495

**Year ended 31 March 2024** 

**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.

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

**Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **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 2024, 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 2024 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 14 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 14 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.

**Year ended 31 March 2024** 

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

In the previous fiscal year, the charity allocated £179,729 in designated funds to be carried forward into 2024-25 and applied to artistic initiatives that had begun in 2023-24 and spanning the 2024-25 and 2025-26 tax years. The majority of these funds have been allocated to 2024-25, with remaining amounts assigned 14.    Analysis of charity funds (continued from previous page) 

## for planned expenditure on 2025-26. 

A significant portion of the designated funds has been directed towards multi-tax year touring expenses for projects such as Belongings (April-June 2024, February-March 2025), Pop-Up Performance Shops in Rochdale (September 2024) and Hull (Back to Ours. Oct 2024), research and development for the trauma recovery project Deep Adaptation (June 2024, November 2024), and the virtual reality concept Star Dust. All projects began in 2023-24 and earlier. Additional allocations have been used to support essential staffing needs, including the addition of a Creative Producer for Deep Adaptation, the establishment of a Therapies Coordinator position, and the development of the new commission Rave New World, which is set to premiere in March 2025. Allocation has also been earmarked for the development of a new therapeutic theatre model project in partnership with Polka Theatre (January 2025). Funds will also be utilised on the creation of a new company Website and messaging framework (January 2025) 

Further use of these funds will support the expansion of artistic residencies in Luton schools, the ongoing development of the Mindfulness Project in 2024-25 & the subsidise Holiday Clubs in Luton in summer 2024. Funds will also be utilised on the creation of a new company Website and messaging framework (January 2025) 

The use of designated funds works within the framework of how we tour, how commissions land in tax years and some residual delays of projects from the Covid period.
