## **CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES & PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES** 

Its charitable objectives are to advance the education for the public benefit by the promotion of the arts, with particular, but not exclusive, reference to dramatic art. Box Tale Soup achieves its charitable objectives through its principal activities. It exists to produce fresh, original and highly imaginative theatre with a commitment to the faithful adaptation of classic literature. In particular, the company seeks to make work that is portable and flexible in order that it may reach audiences who would not normally have access to professional theatre. 

In addition, the company operates an education programme: introducing participants to the company's methods of creating theatre.

During this briefing they meet key staff and other trustees. 

## **ORGANISATION** 

The board of trustees administers the charity and meets quarterly. The artistic directors of the company have been appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the artistic directors have authority, within terms of delegation approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and artistic performance related activity.

Box Tale Soup Limited **Trustees and Directors Report** For the Year Ended 31st August 2020 

## **Achievements** 

This year has been challenging owing to the outbreak of Covid-19 in March 2020. Although we suffered numerous cancellations and postponements, the company still managed to do 40 live performances to c.3400 people and have engaged with many more online. We have been producing a weekly vlog on YouTube since the beginning of the first lockdown and regularly engage with our audiences on Instagram and Facebook. Our social media following has increased significantly, particularly on Instagram (over 2600 followers) and YouTube (140 subscribers, over 3700 views), and our audio dramas, created during lockdown, have had over 1000 downloads and over 1000 YouTube plays. We’ve also created and posted some puppet making tutorials on YouTube, which have been used during lessons with key worker children, as well as during homeschooling. When we released the audio dramas, we sent them out with an emergency appeal to our mailing list, along with a link to a Ko-fi page dedicated to managing both one-off and monthly donations to the company. To date we have received c.£2000 of donations via this platform. 

The income from donations this year is significantly higher than in previous years and this is due to three main factors: the Arts Council England grant for research and development on _Gulliver’s Travels_ ; the donations for the Little Grimm Hospital Project; and generous donations from Box Tale Soup supporters in light of the pandemic. It was decided at the start of the first lockdown that Box Tale Soup’s Artistic Directors, Antonia Christophers and Noel Byrne, should receive a weekly retainer wage as a contribution to the work involved in keeping the company active and creating during the venue closure. With careful management and some generous donations from supporters, the company’s financial position has remained stable and our reserves have not been negatively affected. 

Owing to the significant impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on our touring calendar and planned activities, we have decided to divide this section into pre and post pandemic. 

## **Pre Covid-19 Outbreak** 

## _**The Turn of the Screw**_ **Autumn 2019 Tour** 

This production continued its success, touring to 15 venues during the Autumn tour and performing to c.1400 people. Many of these shows were sold out, including some new venues for the company - The Sackville Theatre, Sevenoaks and the Bridgehouse Theatre, Warwick. This tour also saw the company return to some regular venues, and having continued to build on previous visits, many of these were sold out too. The show received high praise and has the potential to tour successfully again in a few year’s time. 

## **New Commissions** 

## **(Please see update in the post Covid-19 section.)** 

The Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham, have commissioned Box Tale Soup to produce two new Christmas productions for Christmas 2020. These will be _Hansel & Gretel_ (for ages 3+) and a brand new adaptation by the company of _A Christmas Carol_ . These will be performed in the Irving Studio Theatre at the Everyman from 23rd November - 31st December ‘20. Due to the time required to develop these new productions, it was decided that we would need to focus on their creation over December 2019 rather than do any Christmas touring.

Box Tale Soup Limited **Trustees and Directors Report** For the Year Ended 31st August 2020 

**Achievements cont.** 

## _**Little Grimm Tales**_ **&** _**Great Grimm Tales**_ **Spring 2020 Tour** 

## **(Please see update in the post Covid-19 section.)** 

_Little Grimm Tales_ kicked off its tour a little earlier than planned with two packed houses in London’s Kings Place on 21st December ‘19. The show was really well received there, and although not specifically Christmassy, it made a lovely festive family treat. We then began the full tour of both productions in late January ‘20 with a sold out performance at the Courtyard, Hereford. The show continued with more sell out houses at Norden Farm, Hertford Theatre and the Platform Theatre, Morecambe. With generous sponsorship from the Worshipful Company of Founders, we did two performances of _Little Grimm Tales_ at Treloar’s college for disabled young people. _Great Grimm Tales_ continued its success from the Edinburgh Fringe with a nearly sold out performance at Norwich Puppet Theatre - another new venue for the company, and a sell out performance at the Carriageworks Theatre, Leeds. 

## _**Little Grimm Tales**_ **Hospital Project** 

## **(Please see update in the post Covid-19 section.)** 

After the success of taking both _Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland_ and _The Wind in the Willows_ into a hospital setting, the company decided we would like to make touring to hospitals a key part of our future family show touring. We felt it would be important to create a bespoke piece of theatre for this purpose, based around our current touring family production. We had a meeting with the Arts department of the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to discuss our ideas, and they agreed to host the project once it was up and running. We also received bookings and expressions of interest from St Mary’s Hospital, Evelina Children’s Hospice and Great Ormond St, in the first instance. We held a successful fundraiser in January ‘20, and raised sufficient funds to develop a bespoke piece of theatre, suitable for performances on wards, waiting areas and play rooms, along with accompanying puppet making workshops that can be done at a bedside. 

## **_______________________________________________** 

## **Post Covid-19 Outbreak** 

## **Update:** _**Little Grimm Tales**_ **Hospital Project** 

In the early days of the pandemic, before the first lockdown, the first performances of our bespoke hospital show had to be cancelled. We had finished its creation and all puppets, props and costumes were completed. The show and accompanying workshop are ready to tour to hospitals as soon as restrictions are lifted. 

- N.B. At the time of writing (April ‘21), we are hoping to be able to include some hospital performances and workshops as part of our _Little Grimm Tales_ tour in Spring 2022. 

## **Update:** _**Little Grimm Tales**_ **&** _**Great Grimm Tales**_ **Spring 2020 Tour** 

Our final performance before restrictions were brought in and the first lockdown commenced, was at the Carriageworks Theatre, Leeds on 6th March ‘20. The rest of the tour, a total of 27 performances, was cancelled. 

- N.B. At the time of writing (April ‘21), we have begun to reschedule some of these cancelled dates for Spring 2022.

**Achievements cont.** 

For the Year Ended 31st August 2020 

## **Update: New Commissions** 

During the first lockdown, the Christmas productions at the Everyman Theatre remained firmly in the calendar. However, it became clear towards the Summer that social distancing was likely to remain in place for some time. In August ‘20 the Everyman confirmed that the Irving Studio was unlikely to re-open in 2020, and therefore it would be best to postpone our original schedule of shows to 2021. At this point they were considering moving _A Christmas Carol_ to the main house for a reduced number of shows to a socially distanced audience, but this was yet to be confirmed. 

- N.B. (April ‘21) We did create _A Christmas Carol_ for performances in the main house at the Everyman, Cheltenham. We were originally booked for 12 performances, however owing to a change in the tier system and subsequent national lockdown, we only completed 6 performances. The show was still a tremendous success, and was seen by over 1800 people. We will document this in more detail in the 2020-21 Annual Report. 

- Both _Hansel & Gretel_ and _A Christmas Carol_ have been rescheduled for performances in the Irving Studio from Nov-Dec 2021. 

## _**Gulliver’s Travels**_ 

In February ‘20 we received our first Arts Council Grant for research and development on _Gulliver’s Travels_ . We had scheduled this R&D for May ‘20 and were due to do a scratch performance on 16th May. We had also confirmed with Underbelly for a full run at the Edinburgh Fringe of this show in Aug ‘20, and had booked to take the production to the Clark Memorial Library (who originally commissioned the work), for a week in Oct ‘20. Owing to the pandemic, all of these plans had to be postponed and rescheduled for 2021. We did continue work on _Gulliver_ which we began documenting through a weekly vlog on our YouTube channel, as well as Instagram stories and posts. We’ve continued to post a vlog every week since then and have now grown our YouTube subscribers from 0 to 140. Each post gets an average of c.100 views, and this is continually growing. 

## **Audio Dramas** 

When it became clear that live performance was on hold for the foreseeable future, we decided to create audio dramas of a few Box Tale Soup productions. We chose _Casting the Runes_ and _Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland_ in the first instance, and then owing to the success of _Casting the Runes_ in particular, we then also did a version of _The Turn of the Screw_ . These audio dramas have had over 1000 downloads, and an additional 1000 plays on YouTube. They also formed the basis of our emergency appeal back in April 2020, which began our monthly and one-off donation scheme via Ko-fi. 

## _**Little Grimm Tales**_ **at Warren Outdoor Festival** 

At the end of August ‘20, we performed _Little Grimm Tales_ at the Warren Outdoor Festival. This was a temporary venue built on Brighton Beach, specifically designed to accommodate a socially distanced audience. It was an excellent challenge for us, as previously we would have considered all our productions to be unsuitable for an outdoor setting. With a few modifications, we managed to do 5 performances to c. 300 people - we had 2 further performances scheduled, but they had to be cancelled owing to a storm and dangerously high winds!

Box  Tale  Soup  Limited **Trustees  and  Directors  Report** For  the  Year  Ended  31st  August  2020 

## **FINANCIAL  REVIEW  &  RISKS  AND  RESERVE  POLICY** 

The  company's  total  resources  expended  for  the  year  were:  £48,647.48.  The  trustees  have  identified the  main  risks  facing  the  charity,  both  financial  and  operational.  They  have  instigated  appropriate measures  to  mitigate  those  risks. 

The  trustees  intend  to  keep  the  level  of  unrestricted  reserves,  not  invested  in  fixed  assets,  to approximately  three  to  six  months  operating  costs  (£5k-£10k).  The  trustees  believe  that  this  would be  a  sufficient  buffer  against  short-term  problems  arising  from  changes  in  the  funding  regime  and  to allow  the  Company  to  develop  artistically.  As  at  August  31st  2020  the  free  reserves  stood  at £40,743.24. 

N.B.  The  free  reserves  are  at  a  considerably  higher  level  than  previous  years  owing  to  the  following factors  resulting  from  the  Covid-19  pandemic: 

- The  company  put  measures  in  place  to  reduce  its  outgoings  during  this  period  of  uncertainty, including  reducing  the  employment  of  freelancers  and  payments  to  our  Artistic  Directors. 

- We  received  an  excellent  response  to  fundraising  initiatives  to  secure  the  company’s  future after  the  pandemic. 

- There  are  various  projects  that  had  to  be  postponed  for  which  some  of  these  funds  will  be needed  once  the  company  returns  to  normal  operation. 

## **TRUSTEES  RESPONSIBILITIES  (in  relation  to  the  financial  statements)** 

Company  law  and  the  law  applicable  to  charities  in  England  and  Wales  requires  the  charity  trustees to  prepare  financial  statements  for  each  year  which  give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  state  of  affairs  of the  charitable  company  and  the  group  and  of  the  incoming  resources  and  application  of  resources, including  the  income  and  expenditure,  of  the  charitable  group  for  that  period.  In  preparing  the financial  statements,  the  trustees  are  required  to: 

- select  suitable  accounting  policies  and  then  apply  them  consistently 

- observe  the  methods  and  principles  in  the  Charities  SORP 

- make  judgements  and  estimates  that  are  reasonable  and  prudent 

- state  whether  applicable  accounting  standards  have  been  followed,  subject  to  any  material departures  disclosed  and  explained  in  the  financial  statements 

- prepare  the  financial  statements  on  the  going  concern  basis  unless  it  is  inappropriate  to presume  that  the  charity  will  continue  in  business. 

The  trustees  are  responsible  for  keeping  proper  accounting  records  that  disclose  with  reasonable accuracy  at  any  time  the  financial  position  of  the  charity  and  to  enable  them  to  ensure  that  the financial  statements  comply  with  the  Companies  Act  2006,  the  Charities  Act  2011  and  the  Charity (Accounts  and  Reports)  Regulations  2008.  They  are  also  responsible  for  safeguarding  the  assets  of the  charity  and  hence  taking  reasonable  steps  for  the  prevention  and  detection  of  fraud  and  other irregularities. 

By  order  of  the  trustees 

Gillian  Fenner (Chair  of  Board  of  Trustees)

## **PERIOD FROM 1 SEPTEMBER 2019 TO 31 AUGUST 2020** 

I report on the account of the company for the period from 1 September 2019 to 31 August 2020. 

## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER** 

The trustees (who are also board members of Box Tale Soup Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is 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 2011 Act; and 

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

## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

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

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

Company  Registration  Number:  8171401 



## **BOX  TALE  SOUP  LIMITED COMPANY  LIMITED  BY  GUARANTEE** 

## **NOTES  TO  THE  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS** 

## **PERIOD  FROM  1  SEPTEMBER  2019  TO  31  AUGUST  2020** 

## **1.  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES** 

## **Basis  of  accounting** 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention  and  in  accordance with  applicable  United  Kingdom  accounting  standards  and  the  requirements  of  the  Charities  SORP FRS  102  (effective  1  January  2015),  FRS  102  (September  2015)  and  the  Charities  Act  2011. 

The  charity  is  a  Public  Benefit  Entity  as  defined  by  FRS  102.  The  trustees  have  taken  advantage  of the  exemption  in  FRS  102  from  including  a  cash  flow  statement  in  the  financial  statements  on  the grounds  that  the  charity  is  a  small  entity.  All  fixed  assets  are  initially  recorded  at  cost. 

These  Financial  Statements  for  the  year  ending  31  August  2020  are  the  third  Financial  Statements of  Box  Tale  Soup  Limited  (Limited  by  guarantee)  prepared  in  accordance  with  FRS  102. 

## **Going  concern** 

At  the  time  of  approving  the  Financial  Statements,  the  trustees  have  a  reasonable  expectation  that the  charity  has  adequate  resources  to  continue  in  operational  existence  for  the  foreseeable  future. Therefore  the  trustees  continue  to  adopt  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  in  preparing  the Financial  Statements. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation  is  calculated  so  as  to  write  off  the  cost  of  an  asset,  less  its  estimated  residual  value, over  the  useful  economic  life  of  that  asset  as  follows: 

Office  Equipment:  (Initial  cost  –  salvage  value)  /  5  year  life  =  depreciation (£999    -    £120)        /     5            =         £175.80 There  has  been  no  charge  for  depreciation  this  year,  as  the  asset  has  been  owned  for  over  5  years and  has  reached  salvage  value.  It  is  therefore  listed  at  salvage  value  and  recorded  as  fully depreciated. 

## **Income** 

Income  is  recognised  when  the  charity  has  entitlement  to  the  funds,  any  performance  conditions attached  to  the  item(s)  of  income  have  been  met,  the  income  has  been  received  and  the  amount  can be  measured  reliably 

## **Financial  Instruments** 

The  charity  only  has  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  of  a  kind  that  qualify  as  basic  financial instruments.  Basic  financial  instruments  are  initially  recognised  at  transaction  value  and subsequently  measured  at  their  settlement  value.

## **11.  RESTRICTED  INCOME  FUNDS** 

This  year  the  charity  received  a  grant  from  Arts  Council  England  for  the  ‘Springboard  to Sustainability  2020’  project.  This  is  a  research  and  development  project  to  adapt _Gulliver’s  Travels_ into  a  short  combined  arts  theatre  piece  for  touring,  and  further  develop  the  charity’s  artistic  practice and  sustainability  model.  Income  from  this  grant  is  therefore  recorded  as  restricted,  as  it  must  be spent  in  line  with  the  plans  and  budget  submitted  to  Arts  Council  England.
