Provision of Classes
TSD provided regular weekly
contemporary dance classes splitover

three terms which developed technique, creativity and performance skills. These took the dancers on an exploration of creative stimuli through somatic journeys that were as exciting as they were thought provoking. The classes also provided paid employment opportunities for 12 dance tutors running different classes and workshops. A total of 222 people aged 55+ attended our classes this year (including two summer schools). (NB in the figures above, many people attended more than one course). Workshops • The workshops held for our classes developed team cohesion and shared company and class achievements and experience of contemporary dance. The aim of workshops was to introduce new contemporary dance experiences from new choreographers, experts in the field and dance groups to enrich the understanding of contemporary dance of all participants and to provide employment for the wider artistic community. (See also Outreach below) Outreach programme • Our Outreach programme sought to engage people regardless of “age, stage or ability.” We delivered workshops in community centres and other settings to share new opportunities to dance in Brighton and Hove. These sessions (both seated and non) targeted those isolated because of age and illness, encouraging them to experience the joy and benefits of movement and integration. In the year 2023/24 our Outreach programme provided 144 classes for 486 people aged 55-84 in senior housing and community clubs including: Whitehawk 50+ Multicultural Group, Hove Hop Aged 50+ Group, Hangleton Local Aged 50 + Group, Patching Lodge Supported Housing, Tower House Community Centre, Cornerstone Community Centre, Age UK Brighton & Hove (Older People’s Network Impact Initiatives), Together Co and Anchor (senior housing organisation).

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Performance
We developed a new work for outdoor
settings called Ko:ra, drawing on our
Artistic Director’s Irish heritage with
recorded Irish folk music and choreography
showing aspects of storytelling and
relationships. With grant support from Arts
Council England TSD delivered a wide
range of performances, community events,
outreach workshops, and strategic
developments. Activity highlights include
successful appearances at regional
festivals and the strengthening of research
and outreach partnerships across the
South East. These activities support our
mission to engage older people in high-
quality dance and to challenge
preconceptions about age and creativity.
New work for live audiences.
Ko:ra by Jason Keenan-Smith was a new
live performance. It was a development of
our previous work ‘Obs!’, but was
completely reworked and adapted for
performance outdoors during this period.
We presented Ko:ra at DanceEast’s HOST
event and in outdoor settings for the Take
Part Festival and Our City Dances in
Brighton and Hove and at EllieFest in
Steyning.
Key Achievements in Participation and
Partnership.
TSD continued to provide “Club Nights” -
Intergenerational community events linked
to the Big Give fundraising campaign.
These included DJs, equipment hire, and
accessible dance sessions provided by
TSD. These were supported by company
volunteers and promoted across classes.
TSD gave a full performance at the Take
Part Festival in Brighton in June 2024
together with a separate participatory
workshop for the public. As part of the
Festival, TSD also delivered two “have a
go” taster classes on 24thJune and 7thJuly.
TSD participated with a full performance in
the Elliefest in July 2024.
TSD delivered a workshop as part of the

Hangleton & Knoll Festival in July 2024. TSD also delivered a workshop as part of the City Council sponsor “Our City Dances” event in Brighton in July 2024. We took part in the national “Age Without Limits” campaign working with photographer Rosie Powell to create a series of striking images we shared in an exhibition online to challenge perceptions of ageing and celebrate creative ageing.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Three Score Dance

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Three Score Dance ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (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').

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 as 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 examiner's 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:

  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

  1. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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

  2. 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.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The charity has two key objectives:

One. To advance public appreciation of, and education in, the art of dance, as performed by people over 60, by public performance, classes and workshops.

Two. To provide dance facilities and experiences of the art of contemporary dance for the over 60s in the interest of social welfare with the object of improving their conditions of life.

Significant activities

The significant activities undertaken to achieve our purposes

are: Performance - including commissioned work.

Classes - weekly contemporary dance classes which develop technique, creativity and performance skills.

Workshops - introducing new contemporary dance experiences from new choreographers, experts in the field and dance groups.

Outreach Programme - to engage people regardless of age, stage, or ability.

Conferences - attending and participating in conferences sharing experience and knowledge of the benefits of the art of contemporary dance for the over 60s in the interest of social welfare.

All of the above areas are expanded upon in the Trustees Annual Report for the period

Public benefit

Our emphasis is on the over 60s as participants but we also provide public benefit in the following

ways: Performance - we entertain and educate all our audiences whatever their age.

Classes - we hold classes and summer schools for the over 55s.

Outreach - we cater for people isolated because of age and illness encouraging them to experience the joy and benefits of movement and integration.

Workshops - we provide employment for the wider artistic community.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Three Score Dance

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Three Score Dance ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (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').

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 as 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 examiner's 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:

  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

  1. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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

  2. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial

statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
