ACTIVITIES DURING THE PERIOD.
At the beginning of the year Dorchester Arts kindly seconded one of their volunteers to undertake a mailout to Parkinson’s UK branches reminding them that Kinetics and What A Load Of Balls: The Parkinson’s Lottery are available for showing at their meetings. There was a limited take up but a follow up mailing in the Spring generated some additional responses.
The Charity welcomed two new Trustees to the board in March 2024. Paul Wallis and Perwina Whitmore bring a wide range of knowledge and expertise in the Health Sector and the field of Performing Arts and their contribution to the ongoing work of the Charity is much appreciated.
We were delighted to receive the completed Audio Version of Kinetics when the editing process was completed in May. This provides another valuable resource for the Charity to offer and one of the local Radio Stations has already expressed an interest in broadcasting it.
Ongoing discussions have been taking place to explore the possibility of producing a movement-based adaptation of Kinetics . Initial contact has been made with a choreographer and the structure of a research and development phase and possible funding are under discussion.
Kinetics was included in American based Reelabilities Film Festival 2024 and a follow up request was received asking to include the film in their Streaming Programme. It was agreed that this could be licensed on a non-exclusive basis. A Licence Agreement was completed and returned and Reelabilities offered a payment of $300 for the Agreement.
Our Artistic Director Sue Wylie continues to collaborate with Mark Tattersall (Dorchester Arts) on the production of new work and progress has been ongoing with In Search of Stardom and Plastermind .
The Trustees would like to place on record their thanks and appreciation for the ongoing support that the Charity receives from Dorchester Arts.
FINANCIAL MATTERS
The charity received no donations during the financial period and no fundraising activities were undertaken. The bank reserves at the beginning of 2024 were £2,106.50.
Reserves Policy
The charity has reviewed its reserves policy, taking into account recommendations by the Charity Commission, so as to establish an acceptable level of reserves which is the cornerstone of prudent financial management of the charity. Because the charity has no ongoing commitments with regard to employment or premises and each project is budgeted individually, it was agreed that £500 to cover minor ongoing administrative costs is an appropriate level of reserves

In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed,

subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

They are also responsible for ensuring that the Charity maintains an adequate system of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss or unauthorised use and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
