## **Structure, Governance and Management**
**Governing Document:** Motion Control Dance is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by a constitution whose voting members are its charity trustees.
**Appointment of Trustees:** The members of the trustees board are elected to serve three years, after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. This year our trustee Kate Ashman stepped down from the board after completing the full term of 8 years with MCD. Rachal Minchinton had to step down due to personal reasons. At the end of the year, our Chair, Rhys Lawrence had to step down from his position on the board due to ill health. We recruited 4 new members at our AGM who joined our board from seeing our adverts on social media. Recruitment for new trustees with HR skills and finance skills have been promoted through various platforms and primary introductions to potential volunteers have been made with the hope of them joining the board in the upcoming year.
**Trustee Induction and Training:** Induction for new trustees are sent an induction pack that contains our constitution, recent accounts and trustee report, the Essential Trustee guidelines (CC3 form) and the trustee handbook from the Charity Commission. They are introduced to the board and staff prior to joining to see how the charity operates and whether we are a fit to what they want to gain from becoming a trustee. All new trustees attend governance training with Arts Business Wales.
**Organisational Structure:** The Charity operates under a governing Board of the Trustees. The Chief Executive also attends board meetings, which are held at least four times a year. The day to day management of the charity is delegated to the Chief Executive and the part time workers undertake the coordination of the different dance projects. Our Local Motion and Step classes are supported by our young dance leader volunteers.
**Related Parties:** Motion Control Dance works in partnership with the Barry YMCA, Vale Sports & Play Development Team, Vale Disability Officer and Vale Youth Service along with older people networks, many local organisations and schools across the Vale of Glamorgan. This year, Motion Control Dance developed its relationship with the BBC Children in Need as well as local care homes across the Vale.
It is a member of the Foundation of Community Dance where it follows the Code of Conduct for professional practice and translates the core values of community dance into standards of ethical and responsible practice to which community dance professionals adhere. The People Dancing Code of Conduct is aligned to the ArtsWork Code of Practice, which explains how people working across the participatory arts sector should behave.
Registered Charity No: 1161551
**Risk Management:** Monthly meetings with the Chair and CEO, quarterly meetings with the board of trustees have taken place, where we have reviewed any risks or factors that could cause risk. Policies are updated annually by the trustee board members.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The object of the charity and principal activities are:
To advance the education of people of all ages, living in the Vale of Glamorgan and the surrounding areas, in the performing arts, particularly the art of dance, for the benefit of the public, in particular through the provision of classes, training, workshops and performance opportunities.
**Public Benefit:** ln planning Motion Control Dance activities for the year the trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
The main objectives and activities for the year were to grow the charity to sustain its future. This was achieved by providing opportunities, in education and the community, for people of all ages and abilities to experience and participate in dance activities. The strategies employed to assist the charity in meeting these objectives included the following:
- Increase our work force with funded part time posts to enhance our disability and older persons movement programmes.
- Large-scale community dance showcase “Lose Yourself to Dance” in the Vale of Glamorgan.
- Maintained numbers of children, young people, women and vulnerable adults into weekly dance programme to 250 members, focusing upon physical and mental health and wellbeing
- To get recognition for the great work we deliver in the Vale through nominations of local awards, especially in being the winner of the Best Inclusive Services Award by ThinkEdi and having the Strictly Come Dancing Stars come to our studio to dance with us!
- To maintain the financial viability of the charity during the preceding times to ensure the stability of its future
## **Achievements and Performance**
The main areas of charitable activity are the provision of classes/workshops/training and performance opportunities for people living in the Vale of Glamorgan and surrounding areas.
In 2024/25 Motion Control Dance:
Registered Charity No: 1161551
- worked with 1777 individuals on a variety of projects of a range of ages - a decrease of 2.7% from last year's figures. This is due to our school workshops not reaching the target we had anticipated.
- delivered 23 weekly dance sessions for children, young people, women and vulnerable adults at the YMCA, Barry and satellite centres across the Vale - an decrease of 18% from our previous year
- took participants to perform at 9 community events, the same amount as last year
- delivered 28 additional community dance projects - a decrease of 20% from previous year due to lack of project funding
- We moved towards a more professional and sustainable operational model by expanding our team by employing an administrator for the charity and maintaining the 2 part-time funded workers alongside 5 freelance professional dance tutors on a weekly basis with the help of 2 student training dance leaders and 8 young volunteer dance leaders.
- Trained up 6 level 2 dance leaders with Leadership Skills Foundation UK
- Motion Control Dance won Best Inclusive Services from ThinkEdi and our Director won the Triumph Over Adversity Award at the Bro Radio Community Awards.
- Motion Control Dance celebrated its 10 year anniversary alongside our Director’ 25 years service in community dance in the Vale.
## Highlights of this programme were:
- We had 96% retention of our members this year based on attrition
- In December we created a digital community showcase with over 100 performers that explored the seasons and celebrated another successful year.
- Our Leap dancers competed at various streetdance competitions and qualified to compete at 101 National Championships in November in team, solos and duets categories
- Our BGirls and Bboys represented Wales as they competed at Break Mission in Birmingham to gain confidence in their battle techniques and be inspired by professional breakers from across the world.
- Our Local Motion Dance Company was invited to perform at the Welsh National Folk Festival held at Tredegar House, Newport once again
Registered Charity No: 1161551
- Thanks to funding from the Shared Prosperity Fund we were able to employ a part time coordinator to coordinate our older peoples programme for 18 months. During this term our tutors managed to engage 532 members in 22 different physical activities who are over the age of 50 in a variety of sessions including those with Parkinsons.
- 33 young dancers worked hard with Pro Excel to be part of a large performance for the World Record Attempt of backing dancers with a named pop artist in Bradford in May. Oldham Stadium cancelled this event without warning and dancers have lost out on an experience of a lifetime. This matter is under investigation by board members, who are seeking legal advice.
- Our Local Motion Dancers were filmed with the Strictly Come Dancing Stars and aired on the programme to promote Children in Need - meeting Anton and the professional dancers was so inspiring for the children and young people.
- Organised a free Family Dance Festival to end the season and thank the community for supporting our work for many years. Over 650 people attended the event and had a chance to dance in the park.
## **Financial Review**
Motion Control Dance has managed to provide a broad programme of work to children, young people and vulnerable adults in a variety of settings this year all of which focused upon increasing the health and wellbeing of our members.
The Charity, with the aid of sound financial management and the continued efforts of staff and support generated a total turnover for the charity’s financial year ending 31 August 2025 was £151,326 with expenditure costs at £155000 There are accruals of £22000 leaving the charity carrying forward into the next financial period, as we were awarded core costs from Children in Need, Simon Gibson Charitable Trust and Home Instead, for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
The financial performance of the charity is disclosed in the financial statements.
**Principal Funding Sources:** Our principal source of funds has been generated through our studio dance programme for this financial period as well as services being booked by our charity within organisations in the Vale of Glamorgan. Motion Control Dance gratefully acknowledges all those who provided funding support in particular:
- Children in Need,
- Shared Prosperity Levelling Up Fund,
- Strong Communities Fund
- Garfield Weston Charity
- The Baily Thomas Fund
- Percy Bilton Fund
Registered Charity No: 1161551
- The Postcode People’s Lottery.
- Glamorgan Voluntary Services Youth Led and Small Grants
- Barry Town Council
- Pobl
- Vale of Glamorgan Youth Service and Healthy Living Team.
As a result of an increasingly competitive funding environment, the trustees continue to seek additional sources of funding from an increasingly broader range of agencies within both the public and private sectors. During 2024/25 good progress has been made in creating new links and partnerships with the following organisations supporting Motion Control Dance financially and in kind: ACT, Legal and General, Mr Tees Embroidery, Tyre Boss Ltd and Snap Fitness Barry.
## **Policy on Reserves**
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure and future plans.
The charity aims to maintain sufficient unrestricted reserves of a total approximately £20K to cover:
- Any Grant funds repaid,
- pension payments,
- Final set of accounts prepared,
- insurance - pay balance,
- Studio lease x 12 weeks,
- One month salaries and payroll.
We have had to use our reserves to cover our core costs, we are in the process of building our reserves pot backup as it is on £15000 at present. We intend to maintain our reserves at a level which can cover all eventualities if we had to close immediately (looking to increase/decrease dependent on annual unrestricted funds). The reserves that we are aiming to set aside to provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity and are one of the main focus for the next few years to sustain our community dance charity future.
The board of trustees are aware the reserves policy is essentially held in case of emergency and the project is unable to continue at its capacity or continue delivery. In the case of external grants and projects this money can be on hold and returned whilst existing monthly outgoings and annual costs will need to be reserved and covered.
We will review the policy in regards to trends, best practice guidance from the Charity Commission and our own financial performance. This will provide us with an approach to reserves that will enable us to provide for future risks to the organisation, including the worst case scenario of closure.
The Board regularly reviews the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations. This is done on a quarterly basis. The % will change dependent on finance/total unrestricted funds for the year.
Registered Charity No: 1161551
**Investment Policy:** This charity does not have an investment policy or committee or manager due to the size of the charity. In the future, we would look to create an investment portfolio and policy if our reserves warranted investment.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
Motion Control Dance’s plans for 2025/26 are:
Organisational Development (The Legacy)
- Increase the financial security of the charity by building the financial reserves to cover one month of operational costs by August 2026 through securing at least two major strategic grants
- Update and implement all policies and procedures by August 2026, with quarterly board reviews ensuring 100% compliance with Charity Commission standards and the creation of a comprehensive risk register.
- Recruit 2 new trustees with specified skills in finance, marketing, healthcare partnerships and fundraising by December 2025, with all members actively contributing to the charity's strategic direction. The active search for a new treasurer with finance skills is a key development that will directly impact the charity's financial management capabilities.
- To increase core funding by expanding participation in weekly classes by 5%, actively seeking unrestricted grants or project funding. The goal is to achieve a break-even financial position by the end of the 2025-2026 season.
- The charity will actively pursue corporate donations and sponsorships, building on its strong local reputation. The strategy will involve creating sponsorship packages that offer benefits to corporate partners, such as brand visibility at events and in marketing materials.
Sector Development (Let’s Dance)
- Develop new partnerships with local schools in the region to expand on joint projects and deliver staff training programmes based on the new Welsh Creative Curriculum
- Continue to develop our dance programme working with over 50s and those with dementia, those residing in care homes & in hospital and those with Parkinson’s
- Work in partnership with other dance organisations to promote our services in hip hop and breakin in Wales
- Implement standardised wellbeing measurement tools by July 2026 to demonstrate that 75% of regular participants experience measurable improvements in physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and social connection
Registered Charity No: 1161551

- Network with local organisations in the Vale for future partnership possibilities
- Tutors to attend refresher Safeguarding and First Aid Courses with Vale of Glamorgan Council
- Keep mandatory training for internal staff, regular freelance staff and volunteers up to date, and complete a programme of training to hone production and promotional skills development

- Deliver at least 4 projects to schools, colleges, health partners & community groups
- Perform at least 5 community events in the UK

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Motion Control Dance**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Motion Control Dance for the year ended 31 August 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 financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity 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 financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- the financial statements 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).

**Motion Control Dance Notes to the Accounts**
## **for the year ended 31 August 2025**
- 1 **Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **Change in basis of accounting or to previous accounts**
There has been no change to the accounting policies (valuation rules and method of accounting) since last year and no changes have been made to accounts for previous years.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds These are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity.
Designated funds These are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. Revaluation funds These are unrestricted funds which include a revaluation reserve representing the restatement of investment assets at their market values. Restricted funds These are available for use subject to restrictions imposed by the donor or through terms of an appeal.
## **Trade and other debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **Trade and other creditors**
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions 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. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **Pension costs**
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
## 2 **Company status**
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
