ARTS ON THE RUN 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The trustees of the charity submit their annual report and the financial statements for the year to 31 March 2022. 

## **Structure, governance, and management** 

Arts on the Run is established as a foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation CIO. For the first part of the year trustees who are accountable for its administration and financial control. 

Trustees meet quarterly and the day-to-day operations of the organisation are managed by a volunteer director. 

Serving trustees in the reporting period were: Ishah Jawaid John Rwothomack Pride Mbi Agbor Sara Hill Sumayya Wright Tchiyiwe Chihana (resigned July 2021) Jack Owen (resigned January 2022) Rakeem Nabi (resigned January 2022) 

As a foundation CIO, Arts on the Run has no members but any individual, other than the trustees, with an interest in furthering the organisation`s aims can do so by becoming either an Associate Artist or Critical Friend. 

Associate Artists are talented and culturally diverse practitioners at various stages of their careers who have a background of either voluntary or involuntary migration. Critical friends form a group of experienced and interested people who offer advice to trustees. The group currently draws its membership from practising artists involved in the public, private and third sectors. 

## **Objects** 

Arts on the Run aims "to advance the education of the public by promoting and encouraging: knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the arts: in particular the arts produced by and about migrants, refugees and asylum seekers (MRAS.)" 

Arts on the Run does this by supporting the cohort of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers (MRAS) who form part of its growing family. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

Through its meetings, festivals, workshops and artistic events, Arts on the Run will ensure that the public has the opportunity to experience and enjoy the various art forms it showcases. 

## Arts on the Run transition 

Throughout 2021-2022, Arts on the Run continued to oversee the transition of trustees assuming roles within the organisation. Several trustees in this period left their roles including Tchiyiwe Chihana, Jack Owen and Rakeem Nabi.

ARTS ON THE RUN 

## **Migration Matters Festival 2021** 

The main and central activity of Arts on the Run in the year 2021-22 was the coordination of Migration Matters Festival 2021 for which the organisation received a grant of £9984 from National Lottery Community Fund in the 2020-21 tax year which would be spent towards the delivery of the 2021 festival. 

The project was coordinated off the back of concerns about the Covid-19 pandemic. Trustees made the decision with government advice and concern for the safety and wellbeing of artists and attendees to split the festival into two weeks. An online and digital programme of 24 events for Refugee Week 14th-20th June and then an in-person festival of 45 events commissioning a combined 76 artists and organisations. Across both online and in-person iterations of the festival the two programmes reached 13,000 people. 

The festival was commended for its inclusivity and adaptability to the situation posed by the pandemic. Audience comments below: 

_'The combination of people, voices, words, music, and actions was amazing. I have never seen Zoom used so creatively or joyously.'_ 

_'Aside from the brilliant content, Zoom is actually a real opportunity for a parent of young children like me to actually attend an evening event.'_ 

_'Was so refreshing being able to experience the theatre from home during lockdown. My mum watched it with me, and she’s not very technologically minded so wouldn’t have engaged otherwise.'_ 

For the artists we supported, the festival proved a key moment as they worked through the strains and barriers of the pandemic. 

_‘What Migration Matters offered me, and other artists and audiences could not have been more valuable. I was nominated for a Lovie Award for my work, recognition in the arts world and a voice to refugee artists. It made what should have been a bleak period for me incredibly positive’_ 

## Abdulwahab Tahhan - ‘Integrate That: The Refugee Podcast’ 

## **Financial Review** 

The opening balance reflected funds from the National Lottery Community Fund worth £9984 that were to be spent on Migration Matters Festival 2021 and unrestricted underspend from £5000 received from Sheffield City Council Covid Business Support in 2020. 

A second grant of £5000 from the Evan Cornish Foundation was received in January 2022. This was a restricted grant to be spent on Migration Matters Festival 2022 delivered in the 2022-23 tax year.

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or 

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
