ANJALI DANCE COMPANY LIMITED TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023 

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

## 4. Training 

Anjali’s training programme remains at the heart of Anjali’s ongoing work. We continued online learning over zoom for 2 days per week, returning to in-person studio sessions from January 2023. Anjali dancers are taught by leading industry professionals, who have inclusive practice expertise. The training programme included technique, choreography, physical theatre, musicality, fitness, nutrition and yoga. 

A key focus of the 2022/23 training was developing the dancers as independent artists, empowering them to use their own artistic voices. We also created individual access riders, professional showreels and CVs, to enable Anjali dancers to integrate into the wider sector and increase their opportunities for employment. 

Two dancers attend each Board meeting and present a report, reflecting on successes and challenges from their perspectives. This has been an invaluable means of developing Anjali dancers as leaders in a holistic way and giving them significant influence over the company’s development.

## **Education** 

A new team-teaching project was created and developed, buddying up an Anjali dancer with an early career professional dance artists to create a short contemporary dance duet, devise workshop material and deliver workshops together. 

The recruited dance artists received mentoring and access to Anjali’s online training courses to support their developing inclusive practice. Anjali also compiled teaching documentation and course materials for future use. 

The team-teaching project was delivered to 69 individuals across the UK at high profile events including Northern Ballet’s Expressions Festival, Birmingham International Dance Festival 2022 and to Critical Mass; the flagship inclusive participatory project for Birmingham 2022. 68% of participants identified as disabled. 

_“The Anjali workshop was a high-quality experience for the participants that was relevant, fully inclusive of their needs and full of joy!”_ 

## _Sophie Alder, Learning Manager, Northern Ballet_ 

## 6. Financial review 

Anjali’s income in the year 2022-23 was £110,738. 

Anjali received £17,100 from charitable trusts and foundations. The dancers, their families and Anjali staff thank those who supported our work during the period 2022-23:

ANJALI DANCE COMPANY LIMITED TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023 

- PF Charitable Trust 

- Angela Gallagher Memorial Fund 

- Doris Field Charitable Trust 

- Stanton Ballard Charitable Trust 

- Foyle Foundation 

- Oxfordshire Community Foundation 

- 29th May 1961 Charity 

Anjali was also grateful to receive £67,134 in public subsidy from Arts Council England and Oxfordshire County Council; £387 in public donations; and £26,117 in earned income through Anjali dancer fees and other education/performance bookings. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. 

The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding and income, Anjali will be able to responsibly either continue reduced activities whilst contingency plans are put in place, or the company can be sufficiently wound up. 

Due to the scope of Anjali’s work, trustees believe that should the company need to be wound up, this should be done over a sustained period to adequately support the well-being of our dancers in transitioning beyond the company.

## 7. Office Base 

Anjali’s offices were in Poole, Dorset from May 2022 - December 2022. Once the new Director was in place, a home office set up in the Midlands was established, with an independent registered PO box service. 

## 8. Conclusion 

Finally, the Company – trustees, staff, dancers, the families/carers of the dancers and regular participants – express enormous gratitude to all those who have donated money or assisted us in other ways. This has enabled Anjali to continue our pioneering work and ensure we can continue to support people with learning disabilities to access professional dance opportunities, contributing to a more representative sector and society.
