**Talitha Arts** Annual report and financial statements 

**Year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Trustees annual report** 

The Board of Trustees, who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, and trustees for charity law purposes, submit their annual report and the financial statements of Talitha Arts for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

The Board of Trustees confirms that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with current statutory requirements, including the Charity Act 2011, as well as the requirements of the Charity’s governing document and the provisions of the ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006. 

## Objectives and activities 

## Objects 

The objects of the Charity, as set out in its Memorandum of Association, are: 

- the prevention and relief of poverty, suffering and distress and to advance health (particularly 

- mental health) by using the creative and performing arts to restore hope and dignity; and, 

- to advance the education of the public in the creative and performing arts. 

## Public beneft 

Throughout the process of determining these activities outlined below, the Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the Charity. 

## Achievements and performance for 2022 

2022 was a hugely positive year for Talitha Arts - with many changes, new partnerships and programmes. Most significantly, emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns meant that we were able to begin delivering our in-person programmes to vulnerable communities whose mental health and wellbeing had been greatly impacted by the pandemic. 

We began January 2022 with three new staff and one new consultant. We hired a Programmes and Project Manager, a Therapeutic Arts Director, a Creative Fundraising Director and a Therapeutic Consultant. 

This meant that at the beginning of the year, together with our Head of Administration, Communications Manager, and Artistic & Executive Director, we had a staff team of 6, plus a therapeutic consultant added to our team. We began the year by setting out our strategic objectives for the 2022/23 - to build solid, strong foundations that enable sustainable growth. We aimed to grow our programmes, partnerships and our practitioner base in order to support more vulnerable individuals through the therapeutic arts - and are grateful to report that in 2022 we were able to achieve all of these goals. 

In 2022, we also developed the discussion started in October 2021 with Joe and Laura Carey of Carey Design Studios - the garden design duo partnered with us to apply to Project Giving Back and The Royal Horticultural Society to design a Talitha Arts Garden for the Chelsea Flower Show. Throughout the year we spent time planning with them, and we are very pleased to announce that in August 2022 we were officially accepted by the RHS and will have a garden at the 2023 Chelsea Show. This will be a huge opportunity to broaden Talitha Arts platform, raise our profile and share more widely about our work - we look forward to sharing all about the experience in our 2023 annual report.

**Talitha Arts** Annual report and financial statements 

## January - March 

We were thrilled to deliver a six-week programme for our existing partners, Medaille Refuge - a refuge for women who have experienced domestic violence and abuse. Following years of being unable to work in this space due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was wonderful to have the opportunity to return. We worked with 11 women - throughout the creative process of the programme they gained confidence-building skills, learned new ways to express themselves in a positive and creative way, found a sense of group cohesion and community and focused on their positive qualities and unique strengths. Florence Beaney, a Modern Slavery Caseworker at Medaille Refuge, said: 

“One service user said that the Talitha Arts workshops had filled an empty space that she’d carried with her from childhood and brought something to her that she had lost. She enjoyed the workshops and never felt judged during them. She explained that she previously felt resigned to the idea that she would never be able to fill the “hole in my heart”. She was never able to play as a little girl and the workshops met those needs that were not met for her as a child. She enjoyed painting and being creative whilst expressing her feelings.” 

## Another participant said: 

“These workshops were hugely helpful to me, gave me hope and confidence. Every council in the country should use Talitha Arts to deliver workshops for people like me.” 

We also ran a pilot session for Ella’s - an organisation that works with survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation. The successful pilot session then led to a five-week programme in July and August. 

At the beginning of 2022, we ran a Poetry Evening fundraiser, entitled “A Time to Mourn and (now) a Time to Dance”, organised by Talitha Trustee Rick Leaf, which proved very successful - tickets were sold out completely, with over 180 people in attendance. Well-known actors such as Tamsin Greig, Ben Miles, Janis Kelly, Ron Cook, Paterson Joseph and Talitha patron Tim McInnerny were in attendance. There were two parts to the evening - firstly, poems inspired by mourning, and in the second half - poems inspired by dancing and joy. The event raised a significant amount of funds for Talitha, as well as securing some new supporters. 

## April - June 

In April, we ran a pilot session for our new partner South Hill Centre, working with jobseekers based in and around Hemel Hempstead., The session was attended by 14 participants, was well-received and led to a six-session monthly workshop programme, running until November, 2022: 

**•** 93% of the participants felt “extremely” comfortable and safe in all of the Talitha workshops 

**•** 83% of participants said their wellbeing “greatly” improved over the six Talitha sessions 

**•** 86% of the participants felt their sense of confidence had “strongly” grown over the six Talitha sessions 

**•** 90% of participants felt their ability to creatively engage in a group “strongly” benefitted through attending the workshops

**Year ended 31 December 2022** 

Annual report and financial statements 

“This is a fantastic programme and would really benefit so many people like me. It is truly healing and needed.” 

“Attending Talitha Arts was a bit hard to start but Becky and Jenna (Talitha practitioners) are both amazing and helped me to feel more comfortable as the workshops went on! I loved every second” 

“Absolutely amazing workshops, I really enjoyed being creative and making different things. It really helped my personal well-being. Thank you so much” 

In May, we ran training for eight new Talitha practitioners. The training included: trauma informed approaches, working with Dementia, The Talitha Approach, Safeguarding and creating safe spaces. The training was a combination of experiential learning by experiencing and devising Talitha workshops and lecture-style learning. Over the year, we were fortunate to have created a partnership with St. Margaret’s House - a centre for arts, mental health and wellbeing in Bethnal Green, and we used their space for the training. Their Hall and Chapel were ideal spaces for the training experience, and we look forward to our continuing partnership in the future. 

Trainee practitioners signed up for a six-week shadowing programme - which enabled them to fully complete their training and become full Talitha practitioners. We trained a fantastic group of practitioners and are looking forward to their involvement with Talitha’s work moving forward. 

In June we delivered two pilot sessions for the Specialist Resource Provision at Darell Primary School in Richmond; one for the Key Stage 1 class and one for the Key Stage 2 class. Each session was designed for the age and ability of the group with the focus being to spark their imaginations, creativity and expressive selves. The workshops incorporated movement, dance, singing, team games and working with clay to create beautiful pieces for the children to take home. 

## - July September 

In July and August , as we continued our monthly South Hill Centre sessions, we ran a five - week programme for two new partners: Ella’s (working with survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation) and Hestia (working with survivors of domestic violence) for a group of seven women, led by two Talitha staff practitioners and two shadowing practitioners. Through the programme we witnessed a shift in participants’ confidence, selfworth and sense of belonging. 


In August we delivered workshops with long standing partners, Pret A Manger Rising Stars (for people experiencing homelessness, jobless and refugees). We ran a four-week programme with eight participants, predominantly men. 

The journey and progression of the programme was profound. This was demonstrated in feedback we received and also in the shift in comfortability, openness and sense of ease that the participants showed. From a giggly and held back first session to our last session in which the participants were really taking the work seriously and the time for themselves to express themselves physically, as part of a team and individually. By the end

**Year ended 31 December 2022** 

**Talitha Arts** Annual report and financial statements 

of the programme every participant reflected on their work and verbally shared with the group showing a great development in trust and confidence in speaking and being open. 

From August through to October we delivered 7 Jubilee-themed workshops at Dalemead Care Home, celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee. The Care home caters for residents living with dementia at varying stages of their diagnosis. The programme was titled ‘Making Memories’ and was fully funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. The programme took its inspiration from the recent Jubilee and the late Queen. We used this notion to help inform our themes and journey throughout the programme. 

Over the six sessions we had together with the participants from Dalemead, we saw a shift in their recognition of activities and team members, their engagement levels both physically and verbally and also their sense of ease and playfulness in the space with us. Our feedback from the Dalemead activities organiser expressed the notable improvement to their mental well-being after each session, noting that the sessions had something for and involved each individual, meaning that every participant benefited: 

“At Dalemead we have 46 residents who are all living with some form of Dementia to some extent. Talitha gives a wonderful opportunity for all of those residents to enjoy themselves and feel like they belong. Every session is jam packed full of laughter, joy and opportunities to be engaged in creative activities. The Talitha practitioners have created such a huge sense of community within our residency at Dalemead, whether we are doing activities for movement, singing, reminiscence, or craft, everybody feels fully involved. After every Talitha session it is clear to me how much the residents’ well-being has benefited from being part of the afternoon. I would thoroughly recommend Talitha Arts to any care home or day centre that are offered this wonderful opportunity, the workshops have impacted our residents at Dalemead Care-Home in such a hugely positive way.” 

## October - December 

In October, we ran a pilot session for new partners, The Maya Centre, a community-based charity in Islington providing free, culturally sensitive counselling, group work and complementary therapies. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and in December, we returned for a festive-themed workshop, and have booked in a programme of six bi-weekly workshops in 2023 from Jan-March. 

From October onward, we spent a lot of time preparing for the upcoming Chelsea Flower Show - this involved project planning, communications, PR, liaising with the RHS and sponsors Project Giving Back, and recruitment for a Project Manager. The Chelsea Flower Show will be a large undertaking for our small team, however we believe that this is an exceptional opportunity to continue to grow Talitha Arts and move us forward to the “next level”. 

We are thrilled that in 2022 we reached our goals of growing our practitioner base (eight new practitioners), partners and programmes (four new partners, 430 engagements) and in 2023, with the help of the Chelsea Flower Show, we aim to: 

- increase our income by 82%; 

- increase our wider Talitha network through social media and newsletters; 

- increase our practitioner base by another 8 practitioners; 

- continue to build on and grow our partnerships; 

- secure use of space for workshops, meetings and events at St. Margaret’s House; 

- have a permanent Talitha Arts Garden in East London; and 

- grow our platform through Chelsea Flower Show PR and media.

**Talitha Arts** Annual report and financial statements 

**Year ended 31 December 2022** 

Financial Review 

During the year the charity‘s income was £63,498 (2021: £53,652), expenditure was £76,577 (2021: £58,596) and the deficit was therefore £13,079 (2021: £4,944). 

Once again we were generously supported by grants from a number of Trusts and Foundations, although overall grant income of £34,915 was down 3.6% on the prior year (£36,215). Grant income included £13,000 which was restricted income to fund our Head of Therepeutic Development, and £10,000 unrestricted but designated for our Fundraising Director role. 

Donations from individuals and regular donors were up this year at £14,124 (2021: £4,486).  Fundraising event income of £7,738 was achieved from two very successful events; a poetry evening and a marathon walk undertaken by trustees and supporters. 

£3,980 of income was also received from programme partners who were able to contribute towards the cost of the workshops we we ran for them. 

Our overall expenditure was up on last year due to increased programme activity as a result of emerging from the restrictions imposed on us by COVID-19 in 2021. Additionally, staff rates of pay were increased to compensate for the cost of living crisis brought about by the war in Ukraine and increased energy costs. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Trustees have a policy that the Charity maintains an unrestricted reserve equivalent to at least three months of expenditure. At the point of signing this report this equates to £25,000. 

The current unrestricted reserves of £30,306 (2021: £43,296) exceed this requirement.

**Talitha Arts** Annual report and financial statements 

**Year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Independent examiner’s report** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Talitha Arts (charity number 1162475, company number 07474726) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 14 to 24. 

## 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 in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’) nor under Part 16 of the 2006 Act, and that an independent examination is needed. 

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, 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 Charities Act; and, 

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

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the Charity’s Trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made. 

## 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 the 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. 

## Independent examiner’s statement 

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

- accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 

- Act; or, 

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or, 

**•** 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, 

**•** 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).

**Talitha Arts** Annual report and financial statements 

**Year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## 1.    Accounting policies 

Basis of preparation of the financial statements 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), including Update Bulletin 1, and the Companies Act 2006. 

The effect of any event relating to the year ended 31 December 2022, which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Trustees has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 31 December 2022 and the results for the year ended on that date. 

The functional currency of the Charity is GBP and amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Board of Trustees is confident that future reserves and future income is more than sufficient to meet current commitments. There are no material uncertainties that impact this assessment, and the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has had no material impact on this assessment. 

## Legal status 

Talitha Arts is a charitable company registered in England & Wales and meets the definition of a public benefit entity. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member. The registered address is 4 Victoria Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 9BH. 

## Fund Accounting 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 11 of the financial statements. 

## Income 

Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance indicators attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Donations are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when entitled, receipt is probable and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gift aid receivable is included when claimable. 

Grant income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless the grant relates to a future period, in which case it is deferred.

## 1.    Accounting policies (continued from previous page) 

Income from charitable activities and other trading activities is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless it relates to a specific future period or event, in which case it is deferred, except for tickets sales and bar revenue which are recognised on a cash basis. 

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. 

Indirect costs, including governance costs, which cannot be directly attributed to activities, are allocated between activities proportionate to the direct costs incurred in those activities. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred. 

## Tangible fixed assets and depreciation 

Tangible fixed assets comprise fixtures, fittings, and equipment. All items over £500 are capitalised – no items currently exceed this limit. 

Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand, deposits with banks and funds that are readily convertible into cash at, or close to, their carrying values, but are not held for investment purposes. 

## Debtors and prepayments 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount is applied. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## Creditors and accruals 

Creditors 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. 

## Pensions 

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is administered by an external independent pension provider. Contributions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as they fall due. 

## Financial instruments 

Basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost other than investments which are measured at fair value. 

## Critical estimates and judgements 

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The treatment of tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in useful economic lives and residual values of assets. In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.
