## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

## Significant activities: 

This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our activities had to be adapted in order to go ahead with the Festival, which took place mostly online between 19-25 October 2020.  There were online stories for four evening for older teenagers and adults: ‘How to be a Kitchen Goddess’ created by Xanthe Gresham Knight.  One performance was a socially distanced hybrid event (in person and online) which created a wider audience participation, and a children’s socially distanced event.  All events followed the Covid-19 rules at the time. 

Local school children enjoyed workshops with Storyteller in Residence, Anna Mudeka, and Artist in Residence, Sarah Evans.  They also created book wagons with Radiator Arts for the online parade at our Children’s Book Carnival on the final day.  The Book Carnival consisted of online storytelling including two puppet shows and music and song.  A variety of culturally diverse stories from around the world were presented.  The whole event took place from The Stables Theatre and was filmed live to audiences.  The Children’s Book Parade was a hybrid event with some socially distanced participation with street performance artists as well as the book wagons that had been created by local school children. The parade entertained those nearby and was filmed for live streaming.

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiners statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the requirements of 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 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
