## **TWO DESTINATION LANGUAGE TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The charity’s objects are to advance the arts for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively the art of drama. 

Two Destination Language makes bold, ambitious, award-winning work about identity and community. Art and artist-led, we work towards a society where multiple identities co-exist equitably. We use the transformative power of art to bring people together across fragmented and complex identities, changing how they see themselves and the society we share. Rooted in dialogue and collaboration, our activities generate access to innovative and high-quality work, enabling audiences, artists and communities to explore identity, belonging and difference. We employ innovative artistic forms to cross cultural, economic and geographic barriers, celebrating difference and placing the lives of those we work with at the heart of everything we do. Our work brings people together in new, unexpected ways, creating shared spaces for reflection and mutual understanding. 

This public engagement stimulates and enhances an understanding about the arts, and, particularly, performing arts. The organisation aims to extend performance practice and provide new ways for the public to experience performance. The organisation’s work has a wide geographical reach, presenting work and collaborating with partners nationally and internationally. Through all areas of its work, Two Destination Language strives to be inclusive and celebrates and champions diversity, presenting work in different spaces to engage a wider public beyond the traditional theatre audience, and working with a wide range of individuals across arts disciplines. 

Led by a Scot and a Bulgarian-born migrant to the UK, living in a rural area, our work focuses on intercultural dialogue – fostering understanding and conversation. 

It takes place in four principal ways: 

- We create transformational experiences **for audiences** by making socially and politically engaged, innovative and high-quality work 

- We create environments **for artists** to allow brave thinking by promoting dialogue 

- We create empowering spaces **for communities** to explore and express their identities 

- ● We practise **collaborative, caring leadership** in our wellbeing support for our team and creatives, and by providing sector development

## **TWO DESTINATION LANGUAGE TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)** 

Our work is distinctive because: 

- We achieve exceptional depth of engagement 

- We hold multiple perspectives without judging, generating complex meaning for diverse audiences & participants 

- Based in personal experience, our work is accessible and relatable while remaining nuanced and innovative 

- Our interest in the intersecting differences and shared experiences that create communities fuels rich intercultural dialogue 

- We invite audiences and collaborators to step outside their comfort zones, provoking thought and discussion 

- We help to dissolve polarised perspectives resulting from intersecting challenges of economic underinvestment, poor health and social care, and limited opportunities 

- As recognised leaders in socially engaged arts, we support artists at all career stages, creating new contexts, peer-to-peer learning and creative collaboration 

## **Activities for the Public Benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'. 

The activity of Two Destination Language is intended for the benefit of the public. The charity engages the public through performances, installations, video, imagery, learning and engagement workshops, projects, residencies, research presentations and publications. Supporting artists and enabling creativity is key to achieving this. 

Two Destination Language makes bold, ambitious, award-winning work about identity and community. Art and artist-led, we work towards a society where multiple identities co-exist equitably.

## **TWO DESTINATION LANGUAGE TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees of the charity regularly review the major governance, operational and financial risks which the charity faces as part of its annual business planning process and confirm that systems have been established to mitigate these risks. 

Two Destination Language has a risk management strategy in place, which comprises: 

- an annual review of the strategic risks the charity may face via the business plan 

- the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified 

- the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. 

The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate financial systems and controls are in place. 

The Trustees consider the key risks facing the charity at this time to be the financial risks arising if the organisation is unable to attract sufficient income to realise its planned projects to the scale and quality to which the organisation aspires. 

The Trustees have managed the potential impact of these risks by ensuring that: 

- Prudent budgets have been set for the next financial year 

- The charity maintains a low cost base 

- Contingency plans are in place for the actions which would be taken if income appears unlikely to reach its target 

## **Reserves Policy** 

As Trustees, we have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The Trustees seek to retain sufficient Unrestricted Reserves, to cover all known liabilities and to provide for a degree of contingency to complete the charity’s existing operations in an orderly manner in the event of an unforeseen reduction in income. These reserves also allow us to cashflow activities paid in arrears. 

Our need for reserves is now estimated as a total requirement of approximately £20,000. 

The statement of financial activities shows total unrestricted funds at 5 April 2025 of £43,707 (2024: £71,246).  Free reserves, defined as unrestricted funds excluding any designated sums and the value of Fixed Assets, are £43,508 (2024: £70,717). 

This exceeds the stated level of unrestricted reserves required, but the Trustees have committed the additional funds to future projects and performances, responsive to need. 

This policy is reviewed by the Trustees on an annual basis as part of the charity’s budgeting processes.

## **TWO DESTINATION LANGUAGE TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

The distribution of the Remembering Together tartan was completed, with launch events at The Great Tapestry of Scotland and Borders General Hospital supporting the generation of meaningful connections to the design, and ensuring its presence in people’s lives for years to come. The woven fabric was used in 11 commissioned participation projects, and is displayed in 169 community spaces across the Scottish Borders. National project co-lead Carla Almeida noted “Two Destination Language has done an extraordinary job of engaging and creating with diverse communities in a particularly challenging area, due to the geographic spread and the range of different communities across the region, being able to bring different voices and experiences together and co-create a memorial that truly reflected the area and connected with people across the Borders and was one of the highlights of the national project.” With presence in all local authority offices, libraries and museums, as well as the design being available for anyone to use for their own (non-commercial) project and new participation work for young people led by LIVE Borders, the project will continue to reach people long after its funded activities conclude. 

40/40 continued to tour, with selection for a full performance at prestigious international dance platform Tanzmesse particularly noteworthy. This stimulated conversations with an exciting variety of international creatives and programmers about potential to work together in future; pursuing these will be a priority in 2025-6. 

Planned exhibitions of Hope & Ponies banners were augmented by new film works, and the work was exhibited at Tramway (August 2024), Southbank Centre in London (September 2024) and across Wakefield District (July 2024 to March 2025). The work was additionally booked for an international festival in Switzerland for May 2025, and continues to engage audiences with many choosing to participate by contributing ideas or joining the artists making new banners. Hope & Ponies responds to a continued need, felt by many, for hope to be recognised and nourished -- across personal, social and environmental spheres. 

The creative development of a new dance theatre show continued, working towards the successful premiere of Bottoms at Dance International Glasgow in May 2025. The production includes newly commissioned music, live drawing and dance as well as acting, bringing together an exceptionally skilled company of creatives. Supported by partners including FABRIC, Yorkshire Dance and Tramway, this new work is at a larger scale than recent projects. With five performers on stage, we will need to obtain funding in order to reach additional UK venues. 

This funding is a significant risk: we do not have regular or core funding, and sustaining the resource to plan and reliably deliver projects over sensible timescales is extremely challenging for us. At a time of strong and well-recognised quality of our creative projects and audience reach in the UK and internationally, we lack security. This situation limits opportunity and detracts from the fulfilment and respect experienced by those working on our projects. Regular funding is key to improving work conditions across the creative sector.

## **TWO DESTINATION LANGUAGE TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)** 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year (Cont.)** 

Although most of our focus was on developing Bottoms, our work in 2024/5 reached live audiences of 262,080 (and many more online and in print), of whom 463 attended stage performances. This exceptional overall reach was mainly due to the exhibition of Hope & Ponies in public spaces. Our projects also engaged with 75 participants and worked with 30 professional creative practitioners. 

## **Financial Review** 

The financial result for the year is a deficit on Unrestricted Funds of £27,539 (2024: Deficit £12,441). As a result, the charity’s Unrestricted Funds at 5 April 2025 are £43,707.    The Trustees believe the financial performance to be satisfactory. 

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

International opportunities are a priority for this year, as we consider how to respond to the UK’s extremely challenging fundraising climate. This capitalises on relationships formed over many years, as well as the recent exposure of 40/40 at Tanzmesse and touring to Mainz (Germany) and Bern (Switzerland) arising from that. 

Following premiere in May 2025, onward touring of Bottoms in the UK and internationally is an exciting prospect, and we look forward to developing the conditions to enable sharing the work with wider audiences. As already noted, this will principally depend on fundraising for touring. 

Hope & Ponies will continue to reach audiences, including across summer 2025 at BLOC Projects in Sheffield where it will sit alongside an evolving exhibition by renowned socially engaged practitioners RESOLVE collective. 

Difficulties in securing uplift in income from funders across our projects mean that significant time will be spent rethinking our plans for future periods: adjusting the scale and nature of some projects, and perhaps cancelling others. While we remain committed to work which traverses urban and rural audiences, and to engaging with communities in rural places through our cocreation practice, we have found challenges in some funders’ rigidly place-based focus which fails to recognise the commonalities of rural communities, and the skills and partnership working evident in our delivery of projects to people in them. To address these will necessitate creative thinking, particularly considering our commitment to fair work principles for all those working on our projects.

## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES** 

The Trustees shall manage the business of the Charity and may exercise all the powers of the Charity unless restricted by the Charities Act or the constitution of the Charity.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS OF TWO DESTINATION LANGUAGE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025** 

I hereby report to the Trustees/Members of Two Destination Language (Charity Registration Number 1165934) on the accounts for the year ended 5 April 2025 set out on pages 10 to 19. 

**Respective** The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the **responsibilities of** accounts. The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required **Trustees and** for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities **examiner** Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

**Basis of** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions **independent** given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review **examiner’s** of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the **statement** accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

- **Independent** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my **examiner's** attention **statement** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements to: ● keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

   - prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

   - have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **TWO DESTINATION LANGUAGE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS AT 5 APRIL 2025** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of Accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) and Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102 Section 1A Small Entities. 

## **Income** 

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Such income is only deferred when the donor or funder has specified that the grant or donation can only be used in future accounting years or where the donor or funder has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement. 

## **Income from Investments** 

Interest receivable on bank deposits is included on an accruals basis. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised when a liability is incurred. 

- Costs of Raising Funds are those costs of managing investments, seeking potential funders and applying for funding. 

- Charitable Activities include expenditure associated with the provision of artistic projects, including both the direct costs and support costs relating to these activities. 

- Support or Indirect costs are those costs incurred in support of the charitable objectives. These have been allocated to the resources expended on a consistent basis that fairly reflects the true use of those resources within the organisation, such as allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage. 

- Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## **Irrecoverable VAT** 

All resources expended are classified under activity headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.  Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. 

## **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided on any fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the assets over their remaining useful lives as follows: 

IT & Stage Equipment - 33% per annum straight line 

A full year’s depreciation charge is applied in the year of acquisition and no charge is made in the year of disposal.

## **1. Accounting Policies (Cont.)** 

## **Impairment of Fixed Assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

The charity has a number of restricted income funds to account for situations in which a funder requires that a grant must be spent on a particular purpose or where funds have been raised for a specific purpose.  The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in Note 13 to the financial statements. 

All other funds are considered Unrestricted Funds and are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

## **Taxation** 

Two Destination Language is a registered charity and, as such, is not liable to taxation on its income in the current year.
