Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20 Christmas for Kids (C4K)– main annual project,
November 2022- January 2023.
It had long been the aim of the executive team
to return to live touring following a 2-year hiatus
due to the pandemic. 2022 saw Christmas for
Kids return to SEND school and children’s
hospice venues across Kent and the South East
with new, original show,“Phoebe’s Green
Christmas”.The tour reached 19 venues and
played to over 600 beneficiaries.
Written by Laura Kaye Thomson, and directed by
Claire Sundin, with musical direction by Hannah
Hurst, the show featured Christmas for Kids’
signature blend of puppetry, song, sensory
stimuli and intensive interaction. There was a
strong focus on introducing elements that
children with a range of cognitive and physical
needs could enjoy. This was also the first year
that we brought on an access coordinator,
Robyn Olivia, to guide our work throughout the
process.
As we were returning to live touring after a
period of absence, and understood the demand
that would place on the core team and our
fundraising, we decided to update an existing
show for our digital delivery.“Benson’s
Christmas Letter”was initiallyreleased in 2020,

as our first digital offering. We reviewed feedback of the show from our audiences and the main change we made was to introduce a narrator linking character, played by our patron, Sarah Moyle (BBC’s ‘Doctors’, RSC, Jerusalem). Using this structure, we were able to heavily reduce the show’s dialogue and move more quickly between the sensory and musical sections of the piece. “Benson’s Christmas Letter” reached over 5,500 beneficiaries over nearly 500 venues, and was offered UK-wide. We worked again with partners Loaded Productions to edit the show – this is the same company that filmed the show initially in 2020. Our marketing manager, Matthew Davidson, used guidance from our SEN practitioner contacts to include new elements in the digital show Resource Pack, and our access coordinator also advised on how to make the pack as accessible and useful as possible to those facilitating the show’s sensory elements. As a result of our fundraising efforts throughout the year, we were able to cover both projects’ costs without any cost to the hospices, schools or families themselves. We also covered administrative, fundraising, distribution and marketing fees throughout the year. We worked again with social consultants, Cornish & Grey to review feedback and survey data gathered, and embed this into a Formal Evaluation Report. The report is available to view here: https://www.embracingarts.org.uk/_files/ugd/3 94117_5a29d2deafbc4b03a182a7cd7eb17805.p df The feedback and evaluation of data told us that both services had their own merits, and that the optimum delivery for our beneficiaries would be to offer them both the live show performance on a specific date as well as access to the digital show throughout its running period. A selection of 2022 C4K Live Tour feedback: “Children with PMLD have difficulty accessing shows and theatres, so to have a fully inclusive, engaging, multi-sensory theatre (company) come in and perform for them is absolutely amazing!” – Teacher, SEND School, Kent.

“The show was great for a range of ages and abilities, meaning families could enjoy it together. I loved how sensory and inclusive the performance was”. A selection of 2022 C4K Digital Tour feedback: “I used this as an alternative Christmas sensory story with my PMLD class. The bright colours on the screen got their attention and the suggested resources aided their interaction with the story” – Teacher, SEND school, South West “It made a positive difference to us as we hadn’t seen such an accessible show before. It made my daughter feel understood and cared for, and like she belonged.” – Parent of child with additional needs, North East Embracing Arts Workshops: These were established in 2021 as a response to feedback requesting year-round services. They have been a huge success and uptake has shown a steady rise on the previous year. We reached 462 primary beneficiaries and 223 secondary beneficiaries over the year. Workshop feedback has been consistently positive, showing a strong correlation between the workshops’ development over time and the response from the children. EA Workshop Feedback: “The pupils have absolutely loved their time with you. Thank you for creating such a magical environment for them, they have loved every minute of it.” – Teacher, SEND School, Kent. “The engagement and participation from each and every single one of the children has been impressive… You thought so carefully and delicately about each of the props, the language used and processing time needed to support the children and it’s been so won derful watching (them) come alive in response to this!” – Teacher, SEND School, Kent.

Embracing Arts Parties: The uptake of our Parties service has also increased this year. Our partnership with charity Spread a Smile to run fortnightly parties online for children’s wards in hospitals has proved very

successful and is ongoing. We opened these up to in-person parties when restrictions allowed. Parties have also been booked by children’s hospices, individuals and community groups. In 2022-23, the Parties reached 306 primary and 144 secondary beneficiaries. Inclusive Festivals & Events: Embracing Arts performed at the following: - Festability (June 2022) - Spread a Smile Summer Party (August 2022) - Faversham Fringe (Sep 2022) - Rays of Sunshine Christmas Party (Dec 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: Embracing Arts were one of four finalists in the Kent Charity Awards 2022 Children’s Charity of the Year category.

Achievements against
objectives set
Para 1.41 Christmas for Kids:
We were proud to go back to live touring post-
pandemic and achieved everything we had set out to
do in this area. Any cancellations which occurred on
the tour were due to venue closure (illness etc.) and,
wherever possible, we offered an alternative date.
Digital tour–We implemented feedback from when
this show was first delivered in 2020 to make some
significant changes to it, and the resulting feedback
was more positive in terms of the beneficiaries’ ability
to engage with the content. We offered the show to
every children’s hospice in the UK and to our
database of over 300 SEND schools, chosen to
represent a UK-wide outreach of schools with lower
socio-economic backgrounds and to serve the Arts
Council England priority areas.
The feedback gathered by survey and through
interviews showed an improvement in the impact of
the show, with an average of 97.75% positive
responses from hospices, SEND schools & families
compared to 96.5% the previous year.
EA Workshops:Our main objectives for the
workshops were:
- To widen our catchment area and outreach;
- To deliver more 6-week longcourses of sessions
- To fund free workshops for schools in poorer socio-
economic areas.
We achieved all of these aims and fully funded a
workshop series in Southwark with support from the
Newcomen Collett Foundation.
EA Parties:Again, we were looking to increase uptake
and outreach of our party bookings. We achieved this
and nurtured a wonderful relationship with Spread a
Smile who book one party every 2 weeks for their
children’s hospital delivery, as well as delivering live
parties for them and other organisations. Feedback
for these events is extremely positive across the
board.
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set
Para 1.41 With the expansion of our new services and the
increased workload that returning to live touring
brought, it was our intention to raise the contract
rates for our five key personnel if fundraising allowed.
We were successful in this, and raised the rates of pay
for our executive team and Marketing Manager on 1st
January 2023.
We also raised the number of weekly hours for our
CEO and Artistic Director slightly, and for our Finance
manager considerably, as she took on the
management of our increasing workshop and party
bookings.
Fundraising activities, corporate sponsorship, earned
income and grants have to fund the following across
the year:
- C4K Live project costs
- C4K Digital project costs
- Embracing Arts salaries and overheads
Currently, the workshops and parties cover their own
running costs and generally break even. As our
reputation for excellence in this area builds, we will
look to raise our prices so bringing in much-needed
earned income to support the charitable areas of the
organisation.
EA Fundraising:
Our overall fundraising activities were more
successful than originally budgeted for. Income from
fundraising events fell a little short of target, but this
was made up for by increases in Individual Giving.
Corporate Sponsorship:
Our corporate sponsorship increased this year. This
income stream is still in its infancy, but we have made
solid and continuing relationships with our larger
sponsors.

Deluxe Media: £3,000. A new sponsor for the C4K digital project with the promise of continuing support for future years. Channel Facilities Management, our primary corporate partner, increased their support in kind to £7,000 across the year. Corporate Donations: We received some smaller corporate donations to help support our work: ASDA Green Token Giving: £400 XPertHR = £100 Givaudan = £50 Core Funding: 61.1% of the year’s core contractor costs and overheads were covered by grants as follows: Didymus: £4,500 D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust: £3,000 Kent Community Foundation: £4,000 Simon Gibson Charitable Trust: £3,000 Forresters Family Trust: £5,000 We also received a grant from the Foyle Foundation of £7,000. This grant was for use between 29/11/22 & 29/11/23 and the decision was taken to carry it over for use in FY23/24. Project Funding: 88.1% of the Christmas for Kids total project budget was funded by grants as follows: The Arts Council of England: £22,383 Backstage Trust: £5,000 City Bridge Trust: £6,000 Jessie’s Fund: £2,000 M&G Prudential Community Fund: £3,000 Skipton Charitable Foundation: £1,625 Whitehead Monckton Charitable Foundation: £1,000 Our trade services, Embracing Arts Workshops and Parties, received a grant of £1,000 from the Newcomen Collett Foundation to allow us to offer workshops for free. The remaining budget was covered by the organisation’s existing funds and our own fundraising, as well as through support in kind. Earned Income: Our total Trade and corporate income as a percentage of our annual turnover was 23.9%. Trade income came in at £13,024 and corporate donations (cash and support in kind) totalling £14,021. Our 5-year target for earned income was to earn 20% of our annual income. We hit this target within 2 years of going into trading. It is encouraging to note that our previous year’s earned income figure was 18.41%.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21 In this financial year, Embracing Arts covered all
project, core costs and overheads and had a
surplus of £19,585. This surplus will be taken
forward into the next financial year.
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 at a good and increasing
level; 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 has 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 at the end of the financial
year are £56,997.
£7,000 of this is a restricted fund from The Foyle
Foundation which was awarded in this financial
year, but will be spent in the next.
The remaining £49,997 is unrestricted of which
£22,422 is needed to cover 6 months operating
costs, as per the organisation’s reserves policy.
£27,575 is to be carried over to the new financial
year for day-to-day running of the organisation.

Para 1.22 N/A
Details of fund materially in

Para 1.24 N/A
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.
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. In FY 2022/23, we
covered the costs of both C4K projects entirely
through grants and some modest additional
fundraising.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Grants were our main source of funding at 60.45% of total income.

The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)
Para 1.47 Individual Giving was15.85%of total income.
Trade income was11.45%of total income.
Corporate Sponsorship was12.25%of total
income (including Support in Kind and Cash
donations).
Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted
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 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
only became possible again for us in December
2022. We are now in a very positive position of
having a dual digital/live delivery of the C4K
project, which continues to go from strength to
strength.
A 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 daily costs, as well as the
pressure 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
trialled an option for audiences to donate after
watching both live and digital C4K shows, but
this did not bring in particularly significant
income to support the tour. Something that was
trialled in 2023, is that venues can request, book
and pay for a 2ndshow on top of the free one
they receive. As numbers need to be capped for
the live show, this may well bring in much-
needed income to support the charitable arm of
this project. This was deemed a success, bringing
in £3200 to support the tour, and the charity
plans to continue this for the 2024 project.
The executive team aims to mitigate financial
risk by carefully and slowly increasing any
additional expenditure(eg. increasingcore 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 yet had to resort to this 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 thecharity’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 any wider
network with which the
charity works
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
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 01/01/2023.
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 01/01/2023.
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
01/01/2023.
Funding associate duties, primarily assisting the
CEO with large grant applications and
completing smaller applications, are undertaken
by Laura Kaye Thomson 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 a contract issued and
signed on 01/01/2023.
Administration duties, primarily assisting the
CEO and Chair of the Board with trustee matters,
taking minutes for meetings, and supporting the
executive team with research and general
administration are undertaken byMaria
Crawford 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 a contract issued and signed on
01/04/2023.
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 7 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
consultantsCornish 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 digital C4K shows “Benson’s
Christmas Letter” and “Phoebe’s First Christmas”

from 2020-2022, as well as our Live tour of “Phoebe’s Green Christmas” in December 2022. We worked with community theatre Streatham Space Project in November 2022 to hold an invited Dress Rehearsal showing of our C4K Live show, “Phoebe’s Green Christmas” for local SEND school Livity School. We have a strong partnership with SSP, who have offered us a discounted rate for rehearsal space hire for C4K 2023. 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 as well as in person parties when required. Our EA Workshop Research & Development in partnership with St Nicholas SEND School , Canterbury, started 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. This relationship is ongoing. Our corporate partners, Channel Facilities Management , based in Dover, provide support in kind for our tours and free manned 24-hr accessible storage for our set, props and costumes throughout the year.
