Objects and Activities

OUR AIMS

Our objects are as follows:

The advancement of education in the performing arts, and in particular, in dance. (3.1 The Articles.)

The providing and assistance in the provision of facilities for dance and other leisure time occupation for the inhabitants of the London Borough of Ealing and the surrounding areas who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity, or disability, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, or for the public at large, in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life (3.2)

We achieve our aims by providing a structured environment for young people from all backgrounds to learn all facets of dance. We give high focus to providing quality and ensure this by frequently analysing teaching staff and providing support and training where required. We provide classes for people of all ages from all backgrounds and pride ourselves on being an inclusive training centre. Our classes for children range for ages 12 months to 18 years.

We seek to develop all our students’ skill set and competencies not only in dance but in social understanding and attitudes. We aim to allow each student to fulfill the fullest of their potential, increase in self-confidence and encourage them to contribute in a wider sense to the local community. This allows our students the opportunity to progress and gives them the tools they need to effectively deal with the experience of later life.

We also usually serve a large number of schools across London boroughs including Barnet, Bromley, City of Westminster, Ealing and Islington. This stopped due to the pandemic, as most schools stopped provision of extra-curricular by outside providers. Post pandemic, this was resumed in schools in Barnet and Ealing, and we hope to increase this provision further. Currently we have found budget cuts to the arts a limiting factor in this re-build, but will continue to prioritise and to build where we can. We offer services to a number of schools that have a high level of children in poverty. We provide children with the opportunity to dance and often perform publicly. These are children who would otherwise not have these prospects. We aim to maintain very close working relationships with schools to best support the children and provide equal opportunities to all.

The Ealing studio is also supported by an additional full-time studio in North Finchley, which has the benefit of a new 5 year lease, which was renewed during this period. This studio also provides classes in the same wide variety of dance forms, and offers training to children from 18 months upwards.

OUR OBJECTIVES

Our objectives are in constant review and updated to ensure they support our organizational aims and the ethos of our charity. These are reviewed at each trustee meeting which are held quarterly. It remains of paramount importance to us that standards remain high and our students achieve their potential. We measure our success by this standard more than any other.

In the setting of these objectives and planning our events the trustees have carefully considered the public benefit and the general guidance on this provided by the charity commission. We have paid particular regard to the public benefit guidance on advancing education. (PB1)

Our objectives have been influenced by the cost of living crisis, which has had an effect on student numbers. We are working with families where we can to ensure that children still have access to training, through things such as payment plans and reduced price training for families who may be struggling. We were very close to having fully re-built student participation numbers to pre-pandemic levels. The cost of living crisis then caused numbers to slightly decrease and we are working hard to counteract this through increased marketing to attract new students.

ETHOS – PROVIDING EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SERVING THE COMMUNITY AS A HUB FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS.

We are committed to safeguarding our pupils and take an active role in their welfare. All our staff are expected to share in this challenge and to bring any concerns to their seniors or the appropriate organisation, and to keep safeguarding training updated. We strive to keep parents updated with their children’s curricular and social progress - previously this has been possible through face to face contact, particularly in an established ‘Parents Watch Week’ which takes place in class at the end of each term.

We pride ourselves on the safe and fun environment we offer and support this with a zero tolerance bullying policy. There is clearly a risk of injury with activities such as dance. We manage this risk by using a dynamic risk assessment policy to keep up with any changing situation and keeping a strict policy on what activities are permissible in the studios and clear action plans for any possible incidents. To date there has been no significant incident and the trustees do not identify any potential detriment to our service users from partaking in the opportunities we offer.

Online teaching presented a greater risk of injury through the possibility of students dancing on uneven flooring / carpet, and the size of zoom boxes making it harder for teachers to see unsafe practise. On balance, we believe that the harms caused by no provision were greater than these risks, and so risks are minimised through contact with parents to ensure that students had a clear space to dance, and had their cameras on during classes and as well positioned as possible for clear view by teachers. This style of teaching is currently greatly reduced at the studio, but is offered for students if unwell or for those who have moved away from the area, but still wish to train at the studios.

Innovation Dance takes great pride in our inclusive approach to dance and the performing arts. We accept students from all backgrounds to ensure equal opportunities. We work on an individual basis and ensure that we can offer a high standard of education to any prospective pupil. Although some minimum requirements are necessary for many of our studio classes (most of our dance classes require reasonable mobility or at least the prospect thereof) they do not normally have a general standard. A student can remain in a class until they have achieved the required standard before progressing to the next level of difficulty. This normally requires a board exam so that a level of standardisation can be maintained. Any new pupil’s inclusion in a class is assessed to confirm it is not having any detrimental effect on any other pupil’s development.

Our work in schools is less structured and allows us to be more inclusive . We work with and in a number of schools that cater specifically for students with specialised needs. This includes dance classes for young people with extremely low mobility and also for young people with significant mental health issues. We constantly review our work in these schools to ensure it is appropriate and beneficial to the student’s needs. This is achieved with a strong working relationship with the schools and a personal knowledge of each pupil’s needs and conditions. With the funding for many of these centres and schools significantly reduced in recent years we strive to remain affordable for them by obtaining funding where possible and recovering costs from other means. The continuance of these classes is of vital importance to the trustees of the charity. In a number of schools that are struggling to secure ongoing funding, we are working on team teaching with permanent staff members and training them in order that they can continue to teach their students if we can no longer support the costs from within. Fees are also kept as low as possible for these schools, and are subsidised by the work of the studios.

Innovation Dance Studios Ealing has become a strong part of the Pitshanger Lane community. Within this year we ran a week long theatre production at Questors Theatre, which is a local professional theatre in Ealing, and a Winter Senior `showcase at the same professional theatre, which gave students aged 10+ years the opportunity to have an additional theatre performance experience. These activities form a strong part of our ethos. Our trustees are part of the community association and take part in both local fundraising for our own and other local charities, and the organization of local community events, when times allow.

We also ran one performance at The Arts Depot in July 2024, a celebratory ten year anniversary at The Shaw Theatre in central London, and a Winter Senior Showcase in the Arts Depot Studio Theatre in December 2024 for the students attending our North Finchley branch. All events were very warmly received and great performance opportunities for our students.

Policies

It is of utmost importance to us that our students are educated in a diverse environment. It is a priority to us that our services are not restricted to those who can afford our fees. In order to facilitate this we have a number of policies (already touched upon) that we have developed.

Payment Plans

Parents of lesser financial means are given the opportunity to pay by different methods. This may be by spreading the costs out in to a monthly amount or paying for individual classes rather than term fees.

Where students from disadvantaged backgrounds are inhibited by financial hardship, these students will be trained without charge, subsidised by the resources of the charity.

Recognising Excellence

Innovation Dance Studios recognises excellence by providing heavily subsidised classes for the most gifted and talented students. To ensure these students can attend the fees are variable. Fees are in no way a barrier to attendance and if required students will be trained without charge.

Family discounts

In order to assist families with more than one child we offer a range of discounts to assist them.

Multiple classes

Especially in dance it is often important that students attend a range of classes. We offer discounts to children who attend multiple classes depending on circumstances.

Jack Petchey Foundation

The studio has been extremely lucky in being chosen as a recipient of an award from the Jack Petchey Foundation, which has enabled us to be able to provide free workshops to students during this year to allow them to train with guest teachers who would normally not be available to them. The funding received from the Foundation has also helped towards covering costume and travel expenses for gifted & talented students attending national competitions, in order to remove financial barriers to these opportunities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Innovation Dance Studios Limited

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Innovation Dance Studios Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

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, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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

  4. 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
