## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, incorporated on 15[th] September 2015 and registered as a charity on 4[th] October 2016. Its governing document is the Constitution dated 15[th] September 2015.
## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees**
All trustees are nominated by existing trustees, and elected by a simple majority vote at Trustees' Meetings. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
## **Objects and Activities**
## **Charitable Objects**
The advancement of education for the public benefit by the promotion of the arts, in particular but not exclusively the art of drama.
## **Public Benefit**
The main activities which deliver public benefit are as follows:
- We collaborate with theatre makers and communities across the UK and internationally to create productions that often take place in non-traditional theatre spaces or digitally.
- We engage with audiences and communities who have little, or no experience of theatre or live performance.
- We tell stories of diverse experiences.
- We create high quality participation projects in some of the most deprived wards in England.
- We respond to broader agendas such as social justice and health & wellbeing.
- We increase access to our projects for those who face barriers to inclusion .
The Trustees are aware of the requirement of public benefit and seek to implement the Charity Commissioners' guidance on public benefit.

## **Achievements and Performance**
Achievements and performance in 2020-21 must be looked at in the context of Covid-19.
Despite the many challenges caused by the pandemic, Northern Lines has remained resilient and has used digital technology to create and distribute work of a high quality to a wide audience. This has resulted in a number of new partnerships and connections including international and academic partnerships.
As a small company with minimal overheads and a team used to working remotely, we were able to respond to the pandemic with agility and adapt working practices more easily than many larger organisations.
Formal meetings between trustees and staff continued (via Zoom). There has also been regular ongoing contact between the chair and staff to support decision-making.
## _**Fundraising**_
## Arts Council England (ACE)
There have been several funds available through ACE to support organisations during the pandemic. Initially we did not apply as the first funds were aimed at organisations at risk of going out of business. We did successfully apply for the second round of Cultural Recovery Funding which was designed to support and strengthen organisations as they came out of the 2021 lockdown, following the government road map.
An ACE project grant received in February 2020 to tour _Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran_ was re-purposed to support the making of a digital version of the show which then ‘toured’ extensively, providing a significant income stream.
In January 2021 ACE supported us again with project funding to make _The Colour of Our Politics_ , a podcast, and to support further development of _Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World_ and _Pop Icons._
We also successfully applied for Elevate extension funding for ongoing organisational development until March 2023. The purpose of the fund is to encourage an increase of diverse-led organisations within the National Portfolio; due to COVID there has been a delay of one year for new organisations entering the portfolio.
## Other Fundraising
We worked with fundraiser Celine Gagnon to draft a case for support and create the building blocks for future applications, and we were successful in a small bid to the Granada Foundation to support _Pop Icons_ . However, we were unsuccessful in our application to the John Ellerman Foundation despite encouraging conversations with them prior to submitting the bid. On a positive note, we had a strong steer that they would like to see another bid from us in 12 months.
We have begun a significant piece of work with Achates Philanthropy to develop an ambitious fundraising strategy and an evaluation framework to support it.
We received 25K from The British Council to support the development of _Things Hidden_ and _Pop Icons_ in Sydney, Australia in early 2022 which is a partnership with the National Theatre of Parramatta and Sydney Festival.

## _**Other Income**_
We received a small commission from Grand Junction in Paddington, London to support the creation of an online project, _What is a Muslim?_ , which has inspired a wider piece of work with the same working title.
As mentioned above, we used the repurposed Arts Council grant along with financial support from Battersea Arts Centre and Norfolk and Norwich Festival, to tour the digital iteration of _Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls In Tehran_ widely, both nationally and internationally, earning significant fees for stand-alone performances and wider online residencies.
## _**Organisational Development**_
Throughout the year, following public health guidelines, the team continued to work remotely using Zoom for regular communication.
A significant part of the year has been dedicated to 2021-23 business planning which is led by our manifesto and based around three areas:
1. Artistic
2. Audiences and Participants
3. Development
As a newly active charity, much of the development strand this year has been to implement policies, management processes, systems and financial procedures which are now in place.
We have also built a new website which, among other things, will support future fundraising.
An area for development is data collection and evaluation and there will be a focus on that in 2021-23 in line with our business plan and the fundraising strategy we are developing with Achates Philanthropy.
## _**Artistic**_
Throughout the year we have collaborated with theatre makers and communities across the UK and internationally to create and develop a range of new projects – from a digital re-imagining of our award-winning production, _Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran_ , to a podcast exploring anti-racism in the UK, to a new community project in Paddington, London.
Through these projects we have continued to engage with audiences and communities who have little, or no experience of theatre or live performance, for example our online project, _What is a Muslim_ mentioned below.
Despite the lockdowns we continued to tour our acclaimed flagship shows, _Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran_ and _The Believers are but Brothers_ nationally and internationally. Both shows were especially adapted for a digital platform and created an interactive and inclusive experience for the audience, making a connection with other audience members via mobile technology.
_“It’s dazzling, discombobulating and alarming”_ The Guardian**** [Rich Kids]

_“Complex, masterly … one of the most fascinating shows I have seen in an age.”_ The Financial Times **** [Believers]
National venues included Norfolk and Norwich Festival, Battersea Arts Centre, and Falmouth University.
Internationally we toured to Copenhagen Festival, Woolly Mammoth Festival, Under the Radar festival and Sundance Film Festival among others.
We toured to two secondary schools (a pilot programme funded by the Cultural Recovery Fund) and a number of universities.
Following this success, we will make online versions of each major show as part of the creation process, allowing us to tour new work online as well as in real life. This will enable us to distribute our work worldwide while reducing our environmental impact.
Another notable project was the creation of _Made of Mannheim_ , a trilingual production (English, German and Turkish) inspired by Schiller's The Maiden of Orleans and produced in Mannheim, Germany in co-production with Theaterhaus G7 and Nationaltheater Mannheim (NTM) as part of the Internationale Schillertage.
A new venture for us this year was making our first podcast. _The Colour of Our Politics_ explored how anti-racism in the UK today has been shaped by a rich history of activism and resistance. We worked with actor and broadcaster Tanya Vital to interview a host of guests over nine episodes to shine a brighter light on stories about the people and communities who stood up against imperial racism across the UK.
Finally In Partnership with Grand Junction in Paddington, London we worked with calligrapher Razwan Ul-Haq to explore Muslim identity with a group of young men aged 20-38. The project, entitled _What is a Muslim?_ will be developed over the coming years.
In addition to our professional productions, we have supported artists through mentoring schemes run by Contact Theatre and with Manchester International Festival, as well as wider national and regional schemes run by Camden Peoples Theatre and Theatre Bristol.
We have also been an active part of industry dialogue about the future of theatre post COVID, and the diversity of the people making and experiencing theatre in the UK. Our contributions included an article about digital theatre in The Stage; attending a Middle Eastern Theatre Makers meeting; being part of the Tamasha playwrights group and the Culture Rest Programme.
## _**Challenges and the impact of COVID 19**_
Further development of ‘Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World’ and ‘Pop Icons’ have been impacted by the lockdowns of early 2021. Pop Icon events have taken place online, and in person work with Things Hidden collaborators has been delayed until Autumn 2021. Arts Council England have agreed an extension to the project which is now due to finish by the end of 2021.
As the pandemic entered a second year Zoom fatigue has begun to affect the team who have found it challenging to hold strategic and planning meetings remotely. When inperson meetings have been planned, COVID infections have risen and concerns about staff health and safety have meant they have reverted to online.

Likewise, board recruitment has been delayed while it has not been possible to meet in person. All trustee meetings have taken place on zoom since May 2020 and a planned away day has not yet taken place.
## _**Areas for Development**_
As mentioned above both trustees and staff recognise that a major area for development is evaluation and measuring the impact of our work including data collection. This is a priority going forward and our work with Achates Philanthropy is supporting us including creating logic models for each project in order to track and evaluate progress. A priority for our administrator is to develop data collections systems for audiences, participants and collaborators.
## **Financial Review**
The accounts for the period show a surplus on unrestricted funds.
The annual budget is approved by the board of trustees prior to each new financial year. Fundraising targets are realistic and income and expenditure is monitored monthly by the general manager. Management accounts are prepared for trustee meetings (at least quarterly). Where income targets are not met as expected, re-budgeting take place by the General Manager and Senior Producer to reduce expenditure. Overheads are minimal. Therefore the trustees are satisfied that the charity is a going concern, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees have established a policy to provide for any sudden and unexpected loss of income, whereby the unrestricted funds should equal at least three months of core running costs, which equates to around £20,000. At the balance sheet date the free reserves amounted to £9,656 (2020 £1,118). Therefore it is not currently possible to set aside any contingency, and the target remains an aspiration.

## **Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees**
Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations.
The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to the Independent Examination of which the Examiner is unaware.
The trustees also confirm that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure that they themselves are aware of all relevant financial information and that this information has been communicated to the Examiner.
The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Northern Lines**
I report on the accounts of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation for the year to 31[st] March 2021 which are set out on pages 10 to 16.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

## **Northern Lines Notes to the Accounts Year to 31st March 2021**
## [1] **Principal Accounting Policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
(a) Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), as amended by Update Bulletin 1 issued on 2nd February 2016, and the Charities Act 2011. Northern Lines meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). (b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis The charity's balance sheet at 31st March 2021 is in surplus, and grant funding for 2020-21 has been secured for the planned activities of the charity. Therefore the trustees are satisfied that the charity is a going concern on an ongoing basis. For more details, see the "Financial Review" above. (c) Income Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance of activities is deferred until the criteria for income recognition have been met (see Note 7). (d) Donated services and facilities Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. There were no such donations during the year in question. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of trustees and volunteers is not recognised with any monetary value. (e) Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. (f) Fund Accounting [i] Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
[ii] Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside by the Management Committee for particular purposes.
[iii] Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. (g) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is expressed net of VAT where charged. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
[i] Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes. There were no such costs during the year in question. [ii] Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities, and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
- [iii] Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. There were no such costs during the year in question.

## **Northern Lines Notes to the Accounts (continued) Year to 31st March 2021**
- (h) Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. These include office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's charitable activities.
## (i) Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.
## (j) Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are written off over the expected useful life of the asset, at 25% per annum on the reducing balance method. Individual items costing less than £500 are not treated as fixed assets.
## (k) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
(l) Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the account.
## (m) Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charitable company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## (n) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
