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

| 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. |

| 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

| Recognition of incoming | These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: |
|---|---|
| resources | • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; |
| • the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and | |
| • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. | |
| Incoming resources with | Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the |
| related expenditure | incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. |
| Grants and donations | Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional |
| entitlement to the resources. | |
| Tax reclaims on donations and | Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to |
| gifts | which they relate. |
| Contractual income and | This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered. |
| performance related grants | |
| Gifts in kind | Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. |
| Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or | |
| distributed by the charity. | |
| Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when | |
| receivable. | |
| Donated services and facilities | These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) |
| where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material_._The value | |
| placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. | |
| Volunteer help | The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. |
| Investment income | This is included in the accounts when receivable. |
| Investment gains and losses | This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from |
| revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. | |

| has provided the specified service or output. | |
| Grants payable without | These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no |
| performance conditions | conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. |
| Support Costs | Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a |
| basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per | |
| capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. | |
