Tangle Company Limited by Guarantee Unaudited financial statements 31 March 2021 

## **Directors’ and Trustees’ Annual Report for the year to 31 March 2021** 

Tangle is a Charity, Registered in England, number 1161690 and a Company Limited by Guarantee, registered number 07496780. 

## **Registered and Principal Office** 

Prime Theatre, The Wyvern Theatre, Theatre Square, Swindon, Wiltshire SN1 1QN 

## **Patron** 

Yinka Shonibare CBE (RA). 

## **Directors and Trustees** 

The Directors and Trustees at the date of approval of these financial statements were: Jude Akuwudike Kofi Ohene-Djan (Chair) Christopher Rodriguez (Treasurer) Mary Wild Chloë Sylvestre 

There were no appointments or resignations of Directors and Trustees during the year. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Tangle was incorporated in 2011 and became a charity in 2015. It is a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England. 

The company is ultimately controlled by the Board of Directors and Trustees which delegates responsibility for the company’s management to the Artistic Director (Chief Executive). The Artistic Director is appointed by the Board and is accountable to them. 

The Management Committee is formed of the Board of Directors and Trustees with the Artistic Director always in attendance in an _ex officio_ capacity. Other staff attend regularly by invitation. Meetings are held at least four times a year and receive comprehensive reporting including on artistic and financial matters. 

Members of the Board offer themselves up for re-election according to the terms of the Memorandum and Articles. The Chair is elected every three years at the company’s AGM. When a gap in skills or experience is identified amongst the membership of the Board the most usual process for recruiting new Board members is headhunting of potential candidates. An open call would be considered should the need arise. 

## _Staff_ 

The Artistic Director is responsible for line-management of all other staff who are all engaged on a freelance or part-time basis.

Tangle Company Limited by Guarantee Unaudited financial statements 31 March 2021 Registered number 07496780 

Core members of staff during the entire year were: 

Anna Coombs (Artistic Director) 

Thomas Kell (Consultant, Producing and Finance) 

Debo Adebayo resigned as Communications Director in April 2020 after serving Tangle with distinction for 9 years. 

Ariane Oiticica was appointed Marketing and Communications Manager in October 2020 (freelance) and Milan Govedarica was employed as Administrative Producer (2 days per week) in January 2021. 

## _Registered Office and Base_ 

Tangle is resident at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon, hosted by Prime Theatre which is also resident there. 

## **Objectives** 

Tangle has been established with the charitable objective to advance the arts for the public benefit by the promotion in particular, but not exclusively, of the art of drama. 

## **Activity Summary and Performance Review** 

Tangle’s activities during 2020-2021 were deeply affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Just before the financial year began, its tour of Volpone had had to be cancelled (see the 2019-2020 reporting for full details). This was a major setback on many fronts, not least for Tangle’s ambitions to be a national touring organisation. Thanks to a successful application to Arts Council England’s Emergency Response Fund for NPO, actual and projected losses were mitigated and the company was able to grow, despite the restrictions, through engaging new staff, expanding online provision, developing the Associates scheme, building significant networks and relationships, and preparing for future major productions. 

In common with many performing arts companies, during 2020-2021 Tangle found routes to creating live productions were severely impaired. Its move to online activity was based on the desire to support, nurture and encourage artistic communities who were experiencing deeply challenging and careerthreatening circumstances. 

## _Associates_ 

In June 2020 Tangle appointed three Associate Artists: John Pfumojena, Alexander Mushore, and Pascale Kasirabo. Pfumojena and Mushore are based in south west England (Bristol and Swindon) and Kasirabo in Kampala (Uganda). The Associates provide much-needed support for the Artistic Director and are able to develop their own work-strands within Tangle’s overall mission. Towards the end of the period Mushore left the Associates group due to other commitments and Lau Batty – as part of the relationship with Prime Theatre – became Trainee Associate Artist.

## _Kukura_ 

Kukura is a programme designed for companies who want to change their working culture for good. It is based on Tangle’s ‘ubuntu’ value: a Nguni Bantu philosophy sometimes translated as ‘I am because we are.’ Kukura is an expression drawn from two Shona words meaning ‘to grow’. 

The Kukura scheme actualises genuine long-term change within the arts industry, improving approaches to representation and inclusivity. It enables participants to experience new ways of working which build a fresh learning culture within their organisation, leaving everybody better equipped to champion and broaden engagement long term. 

Kukura launched in January 2021 with founding partners MAST Mayflower Studios, Pegasus Theatre, and Prime Theatre. 

## _Amplify Online_ 

A new iteration of the off stage skills development scheme. Applicants were invited to select a mentor from a cohort of eight industry experts (including lighting designers Prema Mehta, Jai Morjaria and ROH technical director Mark Dakin) and undertake with them a programme of Zoom-fuelled mentoring to overcome a career step change. The scheme proved very popular with over 50 requests for the pack and almost 30 applications. Two mentees, Indian-African Shivaike Shah, a Creative Producer, and British-Jamaican Trevor Joseph (stage technician) were chosen by the panel to undertake the full paid programme between June and December 2020. Three other shortlisted applicants were offered ‘capsule mentoring’ projects. 

Both Joseph and Shah have achieved important step changes in their career development as a result of the scheme and we are delighted with the progress that Amplify has made for them. 

_‘Whilst working at The National I was just a Black guy standing back and watching. I started to question my career. Amplify made me realise I can get the skills and qualifications. I will make it’. Trevor Joseph_ 

_‘I wanted to be a producer championing BAME talent. I worried this was implausible. Before Amplify I was grafting but with no form of foundation. I needed to learn things in new ways. Mentoring gave me confidence, a structure and a voice. I can now see change happening visibly.’ Shivaike Shah_ 

Addressing a chronic and historic lack of opportunity for African and Caribbean theatre makers to progress careers in off stage roles, Amplify is now poised to field-lead our sector as one of very few wholly authentic and bespoke schemes that offers tailored support to its beneficiaries as well as ongoing career development. Future rounds were planned to launch from June 2021. 

## _The Ubuntu Hour_ 

This is a regular “safe space” online forum for Artistic Directors to meet, connect and share ideas. The network has brought together a diverse mix of people without agenda, to offer mutual support, and share creative practice 

## _Tangle Café: The Ubuntu Hour_ 

Tangle’s very popular Café format was reconfigured for the digital realm. The online session took place in October 2020, chaired by Kofi Ohene-Djan and organised by Alexander Mushore with Guest Speakers Yinka Shonibare CBE (RA), Rikki Beadle Blair and Yolanda Mercy. ‘Bring and share’ slots (Tangle’s version of open- mic sessions) followed, with five artists talking about and giving examples 

4 



Tangle Company Limited by Guarantee Unaudited financial statements 31 March 2021 Registered number 07496780 

of work in development. The event was an outstanding success, exceeding capacity and delivered to a high standard. 

A second Café took place in December 2020 and featured the Zimbabwean singer songwriter, Shinghai. This proved to be well attended and won positive feedback. 

## _Volpone EP and Playtext_ 

Both John Pfumojena’s music for _Volpone_ and the adaptation of Jonson’s play by Anna Coombs deserved wider recognition. Pfumojena was commissioned to create a ‘lockdown’ self-recording to form an EP for digital dissemination. This was undertaken with the support of sound engineer Drew Baumohl and was released on SoundCloud entitled Amina Kadeya. Coombs’ adaptation was designed into an attractive online playtext, available to be purchased. The ebook includes notes on the adaptation and production and production photography. 

Both were launched in February 2021 at the third Tangle Café online event. 

## _Future Productions_ 

Early stage conceptualisation for two potential productions was undertaken: Nightingale Chorus (a Zimbabwean reimagining of Handel’s chorus from the oratorio Solomon) and Richard II (an adaptation for a cast of 5 of Shakespeare’s play). Originally planned to tour in autumn 2021, Nightingale Chorus has been postponed due to a need to secure appropriate finance (a major Project Grant application to Arts Council England, prepared over a six month period in 2020-21, was unsuccessful). Richard II will tour in autumn 2022. A grant has already been secured from Cockayne Grants for the Arts for this production. 

## **Management and Finance** 

Tangle remained supported by Arts Council England as an NPO. As mentioned above, a successful application to the Emergency Response Fund for NPO’s reduced the financial impact of Covid-19. Within Tangle’s business planning 2020-2021 was always intended to be a year in which Reserves were rebuilt in order to support the next major touring production. 

Whilst operating online brings pressures and challenges, this is a cost-effective way for Tangle to restrain expenditure. A surplus of £52,119 was achieved whilst delivering to the maximum that was possible given external conditions and organisational capacity. 

## _Reserves and Reserves Policy_ 

The company operates a reserves policy which requires the maintenance of a Designated Continency fund to the ongoing value of £10,000. 

At 31 March 2021, Tangle has £74,688  in unrestricted reserves ( _£22,569 at 31 March 2020_ ). 

Tangle aims to double the level of its Designated Contingency fund to £20,000 by the end of 2022, to enable core functions to operate for longer (up to 6 months) in the case of the loss of major funding.

## _Financial Planning, Risk Management and Future Outlook_ 

Overall financial health is considered on a regular basis by the management team. Projections and management accounts are submitted to the Board every quarter and receive particular attention from a Board sub-committee. Financial risks are considered in terms of severity and likelihood. The Trustees required Officers to prepare plans to ameliorate adverse situations. 

Tangle’s Trustees believe that the charity will continue to be a going concern at least for the period of 12 months from the date of signature of this report. This judgment is founded on the healthy level of Reserves, operating costs being constrained and the planned absence of a major production (Tangle’s most financially risky endeavour) until the end of the 2022 calendar year. Energetic fundraising is a constant at Tangle and reaped success with two grants to support the company’s activities in 20212022 and onwards. 

Underpinning an assertion of Tangle’s viability is the reasonable expectation of an additional year of NPO funding from 2022-2023. At the time of preparing this report, an application has been submitted. Should this application fail, and NPO funding be withdrawn from April 2022 onwards, it is highly likely that the projected production of Richard II in Autumn 2022 would be cancelled and therefore remove the biggest threat to medium-term security. 

The company will apply for NPO funding from 2023 onwards and has been engaged in extensive and positive discussions with ACE about Tangle’s future.

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Tangle for the year ended 31 March 2021** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 8 to 17. 

## **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.  The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an 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 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **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 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 next statement. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

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 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 

   - have not been met, or 

- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes** 

_(forming part of the financial statements)_ 

## **1 General information** 

The charity is registered in England and Wales under number 1161690 and is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales with registration number 07496780. The address of its registered office is c/o Prime Theatre, The Wyvern Theatre, Theatre Square, Swindon, Wiltshire SN1 1QN. 

## **2.1 Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland’, The Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **2.2 Going concern** 

For the year ended 31 March 2021 the company had a surplus after tax of £52,119 _(2020: deficit £27,773)_ . At 31 March 2021 the company had net current assets of £71,346 _(2020: net current assets of £17,397)_ and net assets of £74,688 _(2020: net assets of £22,569)_ . The directors have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis as the company has the financial support of the members, who are also directors, and additionally is in receipt of ongoing NPO funding from Arts Council England. 

## **3 Summary of significant accounting policies** 

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company’s financial statements. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in compliance with FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for specific future projects or commitments. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and its amount can reliably be measured. The following policies are applied to specific categories of income: 

- Grants, donations, and legacy income are included in the statement of financial activities when the above income recognition criteria are met. 

- Income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised when received if the value can reliably be measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

**Notes** _(continued)_ 

## **3 Summary of significant accounting policies** _(continued)_ 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- Expenditure on raising funds includes the cost of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities and the sale of donated goods. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by the charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity which have been apportioned to charitable activities. 

- Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure activities reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities to which they contribute on a reasonable, justifiable, and consistent basis. 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice and include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the cost of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. 

Irrecoverable VAT is included with the cost of the relevant item reported. 

## **Intangible fixed assets and amortisation** 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated, using the straight-line method, to allocate the depreciable amount of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows: 

Website development - 3.5 years 

Costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique website developments controlled by the company are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met: 

- it is technically feasible to complete the development so that it will be available for use; 

- the directors intend to complete the development and use it; 

- there is an ability to use the website development; 

- it can be demonstrated how the website development will generate probable future economic benefits; 

- adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development work and to use it are available; and 

- the expenditure attributable to the development can reliably be measured. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over its estimated useful economic life as follows: 

Equipment, fixtures, and fittings – 25% straight line 

Computer equipment – 33.3% straight line
