(eg. appointed by, elected by) 

## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: 

- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; 

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

- relationship with any related parties; 

- t rustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. 

Induction of trustees: The charity trustees will make available to each new charity trustee, on or before his or her first appointment: 

(a) a cop y of the current version of the charity’s constitution; and 

- (b) a copy of the CIO’s latest Trustees’ Annual Report and statement of accounts. 

The charity is co-run by Company Executive Director, Sue Appleby, and Company Artistic Director & Producer, Claire Sundin. Both directors work – on a freelance basis to a set rate of pay per month this was agreed and voted for by the trustees in January 2019, with contracts issued and signed in February 2019 and reviewed in November 2020. 

- Administrative duties are undertaken by Katie Hecht on a freelance basis to a set rate of pay per month, voted for by the Board of Trustees in January 2019, with contract issued and signed in March 2019. This contract was reviewed in November 2020. Katie’s role also includes day to day financial management and the preparation of financial reports for trustees. 

Additional fundraising duties are undertaken by Caitlin MacMillan on a freelance basis to a set rate of pay per month.

pay was raised as voted on by trustees in February 2020. Contract was reviewed again in November 2020. 

During the time of rehearsal and performance of our Christmas show, actors, director, musical director and writer are employed on a freelance basis to provide their specialised services at a rate of pay agreed and voted for by the Trustees. 

**Note that any Trustee who is personally affected by a vote on rates of pay or hours is exempt from that particular vote**. 

A Conflicts of Interest policy and register was created in March 2019 by Alex Kearney and Claire Sundin. The register is completed and considered at each Trustee meeting. 

A bookkeeper is employed on a freelance basis to prepare accounts for the charity, and these are verified on a pro bono basis by registered accountant Jane Hermiston. 

The charity has a close relationship with social consultants Cornish and Grey, and has received a discounted rate of consultation and evaluation assistance from this company. It is our work with C&G that has helped us to rebrand as Embracing Arts (EA), and to expand to offering year-round services. They also assisted with a formal evaluation of our 2020 digital Christams for Kids (C4K) show “Benson’s Christmas Letter” . 

The charity also takes part in a sharing scheme with community venue Hargrave Hall in Archway, providing workshops in exchange for free rehearsal space. 

Trustees agreed and voted on a Reserve Fund to be held in the company account each year. This figure was reassessed in November 2020 and it was agreed that a reserve of £11,000 was to be held in a separate bank account. This is enough to operate a skeleton tour of London and SE England or cover 6- months’ minimum running costs in accordance with CC guidelines. 

Directors are responsible for Employers Liability insurance for rehearsals and December tour, and for writing the tour Risk Assessment which is circulated to all venues receiving the show alongside each actor’s DBS certificate. The Directors also manage any other risks and bring these to the attention and discussion of the Trustees in regular meetings throughout the year. 

Claire Sundin is responsible for Safeguarding and Child Protection. She maintains the EA Safeguarding and Child Protection policy and trains trustees, actors and creative teams on said policy and procedures. It should be noted that all of EA ’s trustees, volunteers and actors are DBS checked. 

In March 2020, the UK was hit by the **Coronavirus Pandemic** , which closed all theatre productions, schools, and inhibited many of the hospice services throughout the UK pending further government guidelines. Embracing Arts (then only known under working name Christmas for Kids) responded to this with a decision to continue our charitable activities via digital models, and scheduled regular emergency trustee meetings via Zoom calls during the end of March and into April. Our intention being to provide a digital version of our show in December 2020 if social distancing was still required, as well as to produce some online content for our audiences during a very limiting lockdown period.

In such unprecedented times, it felt important to meet online as a full board more regularly, and for trustees to advise the artistic and administration teams as much as possible, as our activities would have to be changed in a significant manner. We also noted the possibility of reduced in-person fundraising capabilities throughout 2020, and the increased reliance on grant funding and online fundraising initiatives.

have complex needs and limited opportunity to engage with the arts, particularly theatre. Each year, individuals in hospice care are generally experiencing our work for the first time. Many are not able to visit the theatre at all, so it is our mission to bring theatrical experiences to them, either in person or in a digital format. 

In normal years, we tour to hospice and SEND venues directly. We liaise with each hospice to agree an appropriate space to perform within their premises. This enables even the most unwell and immobile of children to be brought to the performance space and to experience our show. Each hospice differs, and we adapt our playing style to the size and needs of the audience. Previous tours have played anything from six children and their carers in an intimate space, to a Christmas party with over a hundred children, parents, siblings and carers. In 2020, we created our first digital show, which can be viewed by one child in their bed on a tablet, or as a group or class of children, shown on a big screen. For more details on our digital show output, please see section D. 

– From June 2020, Embracing Arts offered a new service Embracing Arts Parties. For these performance-based interactive parties, one EA facilitator works to create a show based around the child’s/children’s preferences and then provides interactive elements to explore the show’s content in a fun and engaging way. These parties are available to all, but are specifically designed for children with additional needs. They have so far happened mostly on Zoom due to Covid-19 restrictions, but are also available in person in the South East of England. 

Research and Development is also in the pipeline for a third service from Embracing Arts: Workshops for SEND schools provided by Embracing Arts Workshops. 

The Charities’ Commission Guidance on Public Benefit is considered by the directors of the charity when designing our projects and crafting our tours. Trustees have received the relevant guidance to read which is then discussed within the context of our shows at trustee meetings.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main** When the Coronavirus Pandemic hit in March 2020, we quickly realised **achievements of the charity** that we would need to make changes to our Christmas for Kids project, **during the year** especially as our audiences often contain extremely vulnerable children. Our Board of Trustees agreed to meet bi-monthly, or even more regularly as required, to advise our administrative and creative teams as their plans altered in response to the pandemic. By the summer, it was clear that we would need to create a digital show for 2020, and we chose to adapt an existing C4K show from 2017: “Benson’s Christmas Letter”. We were drawn to this show as it had the main protagonist, Benson, travelling all around the world on his search for Santa, and we were keen to see what animation and green-screen technology could do in the telling of that story. We rehearsed three actors in September, and recorded the digital show in a green screen studio in early October. The show was edited during October and November and marketing/distribution was happening alongside this. In the first week of December, the show went live and continued to be available for two months. It was offered to every children’s hospice throughout the UK and to 200 SEND schools. It was played 749 times by 631 unique viewers. We estimate that over 2,000 children and their families watched the show – increasing our outreach to three times that of our 2019 in-person show. As a result of our fundraising efforts throughout the year, we were able to pay our three actors, writer, director, musical director, video production company, stage manager and props/set designer and to cover all expenses for rehearsal space costs, green screen studio hire, costume, props, employer’s liability insurance, again without any cost to the hospices themselves. We also covered administrative, fundraising, distribution and marketing fees throughout the year. From July 2018, we were able to stor e our costumes, sets and props at a supporter’s dry and safe garage, local to charity director Sue Appleby. This saved us a great deal in storage fees as the provider of the space wanted to donate it for free. This storage agreement continued to work well this year. Within the show , ‘Benson’s Christmas Letter, we find loveable puppet Benson, who journeys across the globe on a mission to deliver his (rather heavy) Christmas list to Santa. At each new location he travels to, he meets fun characters, and enjoys songs and interactive play along the way. Each new encounter unlocks a new section of music, song or play element, all presented in a fresh and interactive way: stimulating sight, hearing and touch. For example, our rendition of ‘ Starlight, Star Bri ght’ is sung in 3-part harmony, incorporating suggested coloured light stimuli and a darkened room. Usually, our actor-facilitators interact very closely with the children in our audiences, and we were adamant that we wanted to retain these interactive and sensory elements in our digital work. Our Director, Claire Sundin, devised a Resource E-Pack, containing suggestions for costume, props, interaction and sensory elements to use at the appropriate points in the show. These points were indicated by the puppet characters and use of PEC symbols. The Resource pack was available online in advance of the show’s release to allow teachers, carers and parents time to prepare. The craft and music ideas both received excellent feedback, and allowed us to retain the important interactive and sensory elements that are so integral to our in-person shows.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

With Cornish & Grey, we developed a survey to gain much needed quantitative and qualitative data from the audience. Digital production was a completely new venture for us, so we were keen to gain as much feedback as we could. We held a focus group and telephone interviews alongside the survey and compiled all the information into a formal evaluation report available here: https://www.embracingarts.org.uk/_files/ugd/394117_a9fe6aa26b0e4285 918f8c729ff988cf.pdf 

What became clear from this feedback is how much our services were – needed this year even more than in previous years. Our beneficiaries had experienced so much isolation and stress as a result of Covid-19, that having a show provided for them that they could access in whichever way suited them, helped to ease stress and bring joy to what was a very bleak Christmas for the whole of the UK. In a similar way to our in-person shows, our digital show brought much needed respite and a positive experience that the whole family could enjoy and remember. 

As there were serious concerns of more restrictions and further waves of Covid-19 in the Winter of 2021, the creative team and Board decided to create another digital show for Christmas for Kids 2021. This would be a new show, focussing on implementing the feedback received from our 2020 digital production. It was noted that the timescale needed to move forward two months to allow for adequate time for post-production. 

A selection of 2020 Digital Tour feedback: 

_One child isn’t a screen watcher but she still liked the show because there are music and interactive bits. Then she would be brought in and be very interactive in those bits. The fact there are so many songs throughout it, and they’re all so interactive m eant that she was hooked -_ **Play Specialist Hospice** 

_One of our young gentlemen is 21 years old, he is very, very hard to engage with and in his own world most of the time. He was smiling when he saw the show, he really enjoyed it_ - **Staff Carer Hospice** 

_Today the whole class got to experience the entire show with all the props that we had gathered and it made it a much more engaging experience for them! Rather than being positioned at the back of a hall out of the way due to their chairs and having everyone sitting in front of them!_ - **Class of complex medical PMLD KS1 in SEND School** 

_This year a couple of the panto companies sent us links to their live shows but it just wasn’t nearly as good as the C4K panto. They are just for the general public and not designed for our children, the children get bored. The C4K show was brilliant - it lifted all of our moods. We all laughed and laughed._ - **Staff Carer Hospice** 

_Thanks to this amazing digital show we were able to share the experience with all our pupils. Our children enjoy singing and signing, and they really enjoyed watching the singing with hands. -_ **Teacher SEND school** 

_It brought a bit of normality into the Christmas term. The children loved the fun and excitement of the show and everyone was smiling_

_and vocalising. This mood lasted throughout the day. -_ **Teacher SEND school** 

_The show brought a lot of understanding for the complex needs, especially for our children which is accessible for all types of needs. For example, having the knowledge of resources to involve the children really helped._ - **Teacher SEND school** 

_This has given us some ideas for sensory music sessions within school - thank you._ - **Teacher SEND school** 

_It made such a difference to the children and their families, and also, to the staff – we all loved it – it’s just what we needed._ - **Staff Carer Hospice** 

_I’ve seen it so many times and it always makes me laugh, I can’t tell you how wonderful that is._ - **Staff Carer Hospice** 

_My class of complex medical PMLD KS1 were so much more engaged in being able to watch and participate in a small group rather than being part of a live production where noise and distraction from other children changes the experience. -_ **Teacher SEND school** 

_Don’t get me wrong, the live show is brilliant, it brings people together and means parents and brothers and sisters can come too, and we would always want to have it, but we would also like the digital show too. It means that more children can see the show …we are restricted on numbers for the live show because of the size of the lounge area and the digital show means that everyone can see it. -_ **Staff Carer Hospice** 

In March/April 2020, we produced 26 songs, available on our YouTube channel, alongside a video series of our puppets reading stories, which we recorded and released during the first Lockdown. The 26 songs were part of the 2.6 Challenge and raised over £500 for Shooting Star Chi ldren’s Hospice. 

We were hugely encouraged by the digital show we created and the feedback it received. It increased our outreach, whilst reducing our project budget by 40%. It came to us through necessity, but is certainly – something that we want to use in future leaning towards a blended output moving forward to reach as many of our beneficiaries as possible, with location being no obstacle.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

We hold a reserve fund of £11,000, in a separate bank account, to be used for extraordinary activity or emergencies. This fund is to be released only on approval of the Board of Trustees, and covers 6-months of minimum running costs. 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

None 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the chari ty’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

When Coronavirus hit the UK, it also hit our in-person fundraising efforts. For 2020, these included theatre bucket shakes and a gala theatre night with Mischief Theatre that was planned for July 2020. We estimate we lost in the region of £40,000+ in cancelled fundraising events. In early 2020, we formed a new Fundraising Subcommittee to support the future of the organisation at this turbulent time and to ensure that our future was not jeopardised. The emphasis of this committee was to look at as many grant funding opportunities as possible, understanding that grants would become the main part of our income in 2020. We also started to apply for core funding, whereas this had previously come from our own fundraising. Members of this committee met and liaised throughout our fundraising period in 2020 and will continue to meet moving forward. 

We had successful applications for funding from The Arts Council of England, Children in Need, The April Trust, The D’Oyly Carte CT, The Albert Hunt Trust, The Joyce Fletcher CT, M&G Investments, and The Gale Foundation as well as emergency support from The City Bridge Trust. We had a very positive experience with the Aviva Crowdfunder Campaign, which enabled us to rally our regular supporters as well as those Aviva employees who donate on behalf of the Aviva Community Fund. We were able to cover our project costs (which were heavily reduced due to the digital project being less costly than a live tour) and to pay for a large portion of our running costs for the year. We used our previously raised funds to cover the deficit. 

We were also commissioned to deliver some online educational content around making digital theatre. Our new Embracing Arts Parties service also brought in some modest revenue and so covered its own costs. 

By raising the funds set out in our proposed digital show budget, we were able to employ professional actors on a freelance basis with an appropriate rate of pay in line with industry standards, and also to cover costs of an animator, designer, video production company to film and edit the show. We were able to pay for creation of the Resource Pack and distribution of the show to over 250 venues UK wide, focussing on those in more disadvantaged areas. 

We were able to employ Chris Thatcher ( whose credits include ‘The Muppets’, ‘The Dark Crystal’ , and the UK tour of ‘Avenue Q’) to run a 4- hour puppetry workshop with our actors and to advise on set during filming. This made a huge difference to the quality of puppetry within the show and improved the believability of the puppet characters throughout. We were also able to hire high-standard rehearsal space at a central London location and a Green Screen studio for two days of filming.

**Section F                     Other optional information** 

We keep our supporters engaged through our website and regular updates to our Blog, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds. We started the fundraising and awareness campaign for the project from the end of Spring and increased its presence in the run up to Christmas. 

Following the departure of two trustees during 2020, the remaining trustees wanted to increase the breadth of knowledge within the Board when recruiting new trustees. We therefore recruited Bar Huberman, who works in Employment Law, and Matt C harlton, who works in the children’s charity sector. 

2020 was an incredibly challenging year for our core staff. It became clear by the end of the year that their wages need to be raised as soon as possible to allow them to give more hours to Embracing Arts. The expansion of the charity, and the ongoing challenge of fundraising has resulted in an expanded workload for our core team. This will be addressed as soon as possible in 2021, and applications for core funding grants are ongoing to support this change. 

Our staff and Board are, however, incredibly proud of all we have achieved in the face of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Not only did we still produce a high-quality show, specially designed to engage and stimulate our beneficiaries, but we also delivered this show to three times the number of children than in 2019. We rebranded and launched a new service with another in development, and have now moved to year-round service delivery. Our digital output will certainly remain a feature, and we are already considering what we can do to improve and build on our 2020 experience as we move into 2021.
