Para 1.20 Christmas for Kids (C4K) – main annual project,
December 2021- January 2022.
The executive team decided early on in 2021 that
the best course of action would be to produce a
second C4K digital tour. We were concerned
about the impact of Covid-19 during the winter,
and took into account that our audiences are
among the UK’s most vulnerable. With hindsight,
the Omicron variant which broke in Nov/Dec
2021, would indeed have prevented any
in-person touring at the very last minute, so we
were reassured that we had made the right
decision.
We used the findings of the evaluation of our
2020 digital show to create an entirely new and
original digital show:“Phoebe’s First Christmas”.
Sweet puppet Phoebe learns about the traditions
of Christmas from her puppet friends and Elf,
who was a key-word signer throughout the
25-minute piece. We made the content more
episodic than the previous year, so that it lent
itself better to repetition, pausing and restarting,
something which our audiences had requested.
We also made the show shorter, led by more
music and sensory play and less reliant on
narrative and the spoken word.

We chose to work again with video production company Loaded Productions, who were keen to explore further the capabilities of green-screen technology in the telling of the story. We played with size, scale and location – transporting the characters to fantasy worlds and even having them hanging from a Christmas tree! We included some original songs in this show, and made use of repetition and recurring themes. As we had a better understanding of the post-production process, we chose to rehearse and record the show earlier than we had in 2020. We rehearsed three actors in July, and recorded the digital show in the same month over two days at Camberwell Studios. The show was edited from August – October, and marketing/distribution happened 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 300 SEND schools. It was played 584 times by 258 unique viewers. From our survey which followed the show, which asked about audience numbers, we estimate that nearly 2,900 children and their families watched the show – increasing our outreach for this project by over 500 beneficiaries. What is clear is that a C4K show is the main Christmas activity for many settings and indeed the only theatre show for many children that year, and for some the only theatre experience they will have in their short lives: “ It is such a magical, lovely, little show and theatre company who… visit Children’s hospices and perform their show live in the hospice day rooms to our children in their beds, wheelchairs, buggies, comfy indoor supportive chairs with their parents and siblings experiencing live theatre possibly for the first and only time they will. These children cannot go to a theatre, they cannot tolerate the length of time of a full show, and sometimes these children may become uncomfortable and cry or scream and need medical attention. Therefore, these children do not get to go to the theatre. Christmas for Kids provides a professional live little show of music and unique, trained, and talented, sensory, magical storytelling in a gentle well thought out manner for little children and their families.” - Senior Registered Nurse, Demelza Children’s Hospice

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, schools or families themselves. We also covered administrative, fundraising, distribution and marketing fees throughout the year. From August 2021, we were given free 24hr-manned storage in Dover by our principal corporate sponsor, Channel Facilities Management. This is an ongoing arrangement which is saving the organisation on average £100 per week. As well as improving and adjusting the structural elements of the digital show to cater to the feedback we received, we also adjusted the Resource Pack in 2021. We included ‘how to’ videos to aid the facilitation of the interactive and sensory points in the show. We also suggested more craft and play ideas which could be incorporated in the run-up to watching the show. We retained the social story, synopsis and other standard elements that we had been told were so important to many of our beneficiaries. The Resource pack was available online a month in advance of the show’s release to allow teachers, carers and parents time to prepare and enjoy the approach of the show, which for many was their main festive event. The craft and music ideas both received excellent feedback, and allowed us to retain the interactive and sensory elements that are so integral to our in-person shows. We worked again with social consultants, Cornish & Grey and developed a survey to gain much needed quantitative and qualitative data from the audience. Our formal evaluation is available to view here: https://www.embracingarts.org.uk/_files/ugd/39 4117_f4f478635f2c499a826920109d2b1f87.pdf What became clear from the feedback we gathered is how much our services were needed again this year – and were appreciated just as much as in 2020. Our beneficiaries had experienced so much continued 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 at what was again a difficult

time 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. A selection of 2021 C4K Digital Tour feedback: "We got to watch a Christmas show, just like the rest of our mainstream school, even though we couldn't go to the theatre with them. It allowed for fair and equal access to a show" - Teaching Assistant, Mainstream School with SEND provision, North West "I work in a children's hospice and to have such a joyful festive offering that engages so many children with a wide range of developmental and sensory issues is amazing" - Hospice Play Worker, South East England "We are hugely grateful to have the option of tuning into the online show. Even before Covid-19, our daughter spent long periods of time at home isolating and for children like her the world will never be normal, their normal means long periods of time at home with nothing to engage with. These online sessions have been life-changing and we are so keen for them to continue long-term for the families who always needed them" - Parent, East Anglia Embracing Arts Workshops: These were launched in October 2021, with a Research & development project in association with St Nicholas SEND School, Canterbury. This research was funded by the Ragdoll Foundation. Our Artistic Director, Claire Sundin, used her experience of working with children with additional needs over the past 12 years to create musical and sensory workshops on a myriad of topics, designed primarily for children with Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), those on the Autistic Spectrum and those with other complex needs. The trial was a huge success, and the school rebooked straightaway, and have booked six-week workshop blocks every term since. Over the next six months, we delivered 44 in-person workshops in the following areas: Kent, London, Essex and Surrey, and 13 workshops online. The trajectory of the workshops is growing at a good rate, and they made a modest profit in this financial year. We

have a pool of five trained actor-facilitators and are looking to expand this in the next financial year to respond to increasing demand. EA Workshop Feedback: “Thank you so much for providing such a fantastic experience for the class. So much thought, organisation and detail was put into each session, with child specific aspects added too! We have been lucky enough to have you for a second time and would absolutely love to have you more”. - Teacher, St Nicholas School, Canterbury “As the Mighty Mega members left today, they were singing Claire's praises. I don't remember getting such positive feedback before. Today was the first day the members lingered as they were all saying Happy Christmas having had such a good term." - Community & Education Manager, Discover Children's Story Centre (Mighty Mega workshops for children aged 5-11). Embracing Arts Parties: These were launched in June 2021 and had a slow start, but received good feedback from each party delivered. We initially worked in children’s hospices already known to us. In January 2022, charity Spread a Smile approached us to run fortnightly parties online for children’s wards in hospitals. These will be opened up to in-person parties when restrictions and locations allow. This is an ongoing regular booking. Inclusive Festivals: Embracing Arts has also received bookings for two inclusive family festivals, to be held in Summer 2022. These paid services cover their own costs and then provide a profit which goes back into the company to cover core costs and act as additional funding for the C4K tours. Recognition: In Summer 2021, Embracing Arts’ Artistic Director, Claire Sundin, was highly commended (runner-up) in the Third Sector Awards Digital Champion of the Year.

Achievements against
objectives set

Para 1.41

Christmas for Kids:We aimed to increase our
outreach numbers on the previous year, which we
achieved – delivering the show to an estimated 500
more beneficiaries. We offered the show to every
children’s hospice in the UK and to 300 SEND schools
which were chosen to represent a UK-wide outreach
of schools with lower socio-economic backgrounds.
The feedback gathered by survey and through
interviews showed an improvement in the impact of
the show, with an average of 96.5% positive
responses from SEND schools compared to 92% the
previous year.
EA Workshops:Our main objective here was to set
up, research and develop and then deliver workshops
that were evaluated to have a significant impact on
the children we work with. We achieved all of these
objectives and now have a strong workshop model
that can be adapted to any topic and delivered to
cater for children with a wide range of needs and
abilities.
EA Parties:The original targets for these were to
deliver 10 in-person and 10 online parties over the
first six months. We met the online target through our
partnership with Spread A Smile, but the in-person
target we did not meet. Many venues were still
observing restrictions to in-person activities from
visiting companies and our bookings reflected this.
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set
Para 1.41 With the launch of our new services and the
increased workload that this brought, it was our
intention to raise the contract rates for our four key
personnel. Our original target was to raise these on
receipt of sufficient funds as follows:
Original rates:
5 key personnel, working between 2.5 - 10 hours per
week @ £12.50 p/hr
Total: £19,000p/a £1,650p/m
Target rates:
5 key personnel, working between 2.5 - 12 hours per
week @ £15.00 p/hr
Total: £29,040p/a £2,420p/m
We came in slightly under target in our core
fundraising and so made a partial increase as outlined
below. We also lost a member of key personnel due to
other work commitments, so this person’s work and
fees were given to subsidiary contracted freelancers
over the year:
4 key personnel, working between 3.25 and 12 hours
per week @ £15.00 per hour
Total: £27,840p/a £2,320p/m
It is our intention to enable two of our key personnel
tomove up to20hours per weekas soonas this
becomes possible through sustained income. Our aim
is to achieve this by FY 23/24.
EA Fundraising:
Our own fundraising activities were more successful
than originally budgeted for. Individual giving and
event sponsorship (Parallel Fun Run and Crowdfunder
campaign supported by the Aviva Community Fund)
both exceeded our initial targets.
Theatre bucket shakes brought in an additional
£4,000.
Corporate Sponsorship:
We secured some modest corporate sponsorship in
the year - this was a new venture for us:
Barratt Homes £1,000
Howdens £250
Channel Facilities Management became our primary
corporate partner, providing £3,985 through Support
in Kind throughout the year.
Project Funding:
The Christmas for Kids digital tour project budget was
81.8% funded by grants as follows:
The April Trust: £10,000
The Arts Council of England: £6,600
M&G Community Fund: £2,400
The D’Oyly Carte Charitable trust: £3,500
The Albert Hunt Trust: £1,500
The remaining budget was covered by the
organisation’s existing funds and our own fundraising,
as well as Support in Kind.
Earned Income:
Our total trade and corporate income as a percentage
of our annual turnover was 18.41%, with trade
income at £7,500 and corporate donations (Cash & In
Kind) totalling £5,235. We have a long-term target for
this of 20%. It is encouraging to note that our previous
year’sfigurewas4.6%.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21 We used some existing surplus funds from the
previous year to cover core costs, having made a
loss of approximately £500. This loss was less
than predicted after the FY 2020-21, where
fundraising, especially within the theatre
community, was heavily affected by the Covid
pandemic. Fundraising in FY 2021-22 was more
successful than expected.
Other than this, our reserves remain untouched
and are held in a separate account in line with
our reserves policy (see below).
We are optimistic about the organisation’s
sustainability heading into the next financial
year. Trade income is up significantly from the
previous year and is growing; project grant
applications are continuing to be successful and
corporate relationships (both existing and new)
are solidifying and developing.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22 Embracing Arts feels the need to have a reserves
policy in order to cover any unforeseen
circumstances such as:
·
Repair or replacement of integral equipment
or fixed assets (such as the PA systems and
puppets).
·
In extreme circumstances, it may be used as a
source of income e.g. if a grant has not come
through or a pledger has not been able to raise
sufficient funds. Funds might be needed to give
the trustees time to take action if income falls
below expectations (this is an unlikely
occurrence as we always have our funding in
place before determining the scale of our
Christmas project).
The minimum reserves figure has been
calculated to cover 6 months of running costs
including: key personnel costs, accounting fees,
advertising and fundraising costs. This is an
‘emergency’ budget allowing us to regroup and
plan ahead for the following year. We would not
mount a full C4K touring project if reserves are
used, but would deliver a skeleton tour, or an
existing digital show within whatever budget was
available outside of the reserves. We would then
work towards building finances to mount the
shelved C4K project the following year.
We would continue to run EA Workshops and EA
Parties, as these cover their own costs and bring
income/profit into the organisation,
as well as providing service delivery in line with
the charity’s constitution.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Total reserves held are £37,412, of which
£35,919 are unrestricted reserves with a
reserves policy minimum target of £15,809.
As per the organisation’s reserves policy, the
£15809 is held as emergency reserve funds to
cover 6 months of operating costs. The
remainder of the unrestricted reserves is carried
over to the following year for day-to-day running
of the organisation.
Reasons for holding zero
reserves
Para 1.22 N/A
Details of fund materially in
deficit
Para 1.24 None. The organisation made a loss of £500 over
the year, but this was covered by existing funds.
The fund never went into deficit.
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern
Para 1.23 The organisation has been running since 2009
and has covered its project and core costs
through diversified fundraising, sponsorship and
earned income. The pandemic years had an
impact on our existing funds, and certainly
reduced theatre-based fundraising, which had
been a source of substantial income for us in our
formative years.
We have been drawing on our existing funds to
cover small deficits over the past few years, and
aim to reduce reliance on these to make our
ongoing sustainability more assured. One of the
ways we aim to do this is to choose the most
appropriate services and provision each year
depending on the income we have
promised/brought in. Our main expenditure is
the Christmas for Kids project, and this tour can
be made larger or smaller depending on the
available funds that year. We know our
fundraising position by the time we book our
venues, and tailor the tour to match our funds,
so as not to overstretch the organisation
financially.
Should we experience significant reduction in
income, it is any expansion that would be
uncertain, rather than our continuation as a
going concern. However, our expansion as an
organisation is in direct correlation with our
income and fundraising capabilities. This model
worked well against the backdrop of Covid-19,
and we were able to sustain ourselves well
throughout that period.

Para 1.46 N/A
A description of the principal
risks facing the charity
Para 1.46 Covid-19 had a significant impact on both our
in-person touring and workshop/party delivery
and also our theatre-based fundraising
initiatives. Our audiences are amongst the UK’s
most vulnerable, and so live touring to hospice
venues was not possible in 2020 or 2021, with
the resurgence of Covid-19 in the Omicron
variant.
We responded to these threats to outreach by
adapting all services to a digital delivery. This has
proved particularly successful with the C4K
digital project, which increased its outreach
three times over, as well as offering versatility of
viewing for beneficiaries. The feedback was so
good, that we aim to produce both In-Person and
Digital formats for C4K moving forward.
Another risk to the charity which has been
exacerbated by the pandemic is financial. As the
organisation expands, so do its core costs, and
we are also finding increased competition for
grants, particularly in the core costs area. We
have diversified our fundraising initiatives to
include more fundraising events online and are
working to increase our corporate support.
We have offered our main project, Christmas for
Kids, for free since our genesis in 2009, and it is a
huge support for the families we serve, who face
additional dailycosts,as well as thepressure of

one parent often being their child’s full-time carer and so not able to work. Offering this project for free means there is no barrier to anyone receiving our work and the whole organisation, guided by the Board, regularly assesses this and are in agreement. The charity will offer an option for audiences to donate after watching both live and digital C4K shows and will trial this in December 2022. The executive team aims to mitigate financial risk by carefully and slowly increasing any additional expenditure (eg. increasing core staff hours or pay rate; delivering dual C4K projects) and by agreeing alternative output should the required level of funding not come in by the required date. We have not had to resort to this so far in over a decade, and plan as carefully as possible to avoid having to cancel organisational development or projects due to lack of funds. Other

You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Policies and procedures
adopted for the induction and
training of trustees
Para 1.51 The charity trustees make available to each new
charity trustee:
(a) a copy of the of the charity’s Constitution;
(b) a copy of the CIO’s latest Trustees’ Annual
Report and statement of accounts;
(c) a copy of the last Board meeting minutes; and
(d) a copy of any other relevant policies such as
our safeguarding policy and equality, diversity
and inclusion policy.
All Trustees undergo DBS check/Safeguarding
training.
Before their first Board meeting, all trustees have
an induction meeting with at least one other
trustee (normally the chair) and the executive
team, during which we explain in detail the
charity’s foundation, purpose and governance,
and in which the new trustee is given plenty of
opportunity to ask questions and make
suggestions.
The charity’s organisational
structure and anywider
Para 1.51 The executive team is responsible for the
day-to-day running of the charity, and the Board
of Trustees is responsible for ensuring that the
network with which the
charity works
executive team is managing the charity
efficiently, effectively and in accordance with its
mission.
The charity is co-run by Company Executive
Director, Sue Appleby, and Artistic Director, 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 with updated
contracts signed on 01/09/2021.
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
with updated contracts signed on 01/09/2021.
Katie’s role also includes day to day financial
management and the preparation of financial
reports for trustees.
Social Media Management duties are
undertaken by Matthew Davidson on a freelance
basis to a set rate of pay per month. This
appointment and subsequent rate of pay was
agreed and voted for by the trustees with an
updated contract issued and signed on
06/01/2022.
During the time of rehearsal and performance of
our Christmas show, actors, director, musical
director and writer and other creative team
freelancers are employed on a freelance basis to
provide their specialised services at a rate of pay
agreed and voted for by the Trustees.
The Board consists of 8 trustees, with varied
professional and lived experience backgrounds
and meets at least once per quarter, with
additional meetings scheduled as needed to
discuss topics and issues.
Before each Board meeting, trustees are sent an
agenda, which includes up-to- date provisional
budgets. Following meetings, minutes are shared
with the Board & Exec team, allowing individuals
the chance to add to/amend these.
The way in which Board decisions are made is
governed by the Constitution. This includes the
requirement to ensure there is a quorum when
making decisions, and requirements around how
decisions may be made. The trustees have access
to the Constitution and other relevant
documents, and the Chair refers to the
Constitution regularly to ensure proceedings are
held appropriately.
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 independent
examiner Tracey Stakes (full details below).
Relationship with any related
parties
Para 1.51 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 formal
evaluations of our 2020 & 2021 digital C4K
shows “Benson’s Christmas Letter” and
“Phoebe’s First Christmas”.
The charity also takes part in a sharing scheme
with community venue Hargrave Hall in Archway,
providing workshops in exchange for free
rehearsal/research & development space.
We worked with local theatre Streatham Space
Project in November 2021 to hold a private
showing of our C4K digital show, “Phoebe’s First
Christmas” for local SEND school Livity School.
The event was a huge success, with 50 children
and teaching staff filling the black box theatre
space and Embracing Arts providing four
facilitators who delivered the interactive and
sensory elements of the show, which was
projected onto a large screen. We now have a
strong working partnership with SSP, who have
given us a heavily discounted rate for rehearsal
space hire for C4K 2022. We also plan to preview
our C4K live tour of “Phoebe’s Green Christmas”
for Livity School at SSP in November.
Our ongoing partnership with charity Spread a
Smile began in January 2022, and we have been
delivering virtual parties every fortnight with
them in children’s hospital wards.
Our EA Workshop Research & Development in
partnership with St Nicholas SEND School,
Canterbury, happened in October 2021. Since
then, we have built a strong relationship with
this school and, most recently, have been booked
to run workshops for half of each term
throughout the academic year 2022-23.

There were two trustees, who operated as contractors, who were paid for professional services during the period. All payments were made in line with the Financial Policy approved by the Board. Other
