## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 SEPTEMBER 2022**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year from 2 September 2021 to 1 September 2022. The annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the charitable company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Policies and objectives**
The objects of the charitable company in this time were:
a) To develop new educational outreach projects which:
i. Are impactful and life-changing for participating children;
ii. Focus on disadvantaged children and work in deprived communities;
iii. Work in partnership with prestigious local and national organisations, including public bodies and cultural organisations; and
iv. Provide opportunities for new, emerging, and established artists.
b) To make our events accessible to everyone, including those who might not normally experience them or other events like them.
c) To explore inter-disciplinary, inter-cultural, & inter-generational approaches to creating and experiencing art.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **Strategies for achieving objectives**
The strategies employed to achieve the Company’s objectives were to:
a) Continue to develop new education outreach projects;
b) Continue to seek out and build relationships with new and established partners;
c) Continue to seek out and build relationships with new and established artists; and
d) Achieve a level of funding which allows us to reduce or remove economic barriers to participation in our projects, wherever possible.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 SEPTEMBER 2022**
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Review of activities**
Between 2nd September 2021 and 1st September 2022, Hand Of continued to work supporting children across the North East.
## **Number Nine Club**
The Number Nine Club was a weekly after-school club held at Hand Of’s office, for students who had participated in previous Hand Of projects. The project provided an opportunity for students to work together in pursuing their interests. Participants read together, created art together, and took up drumming - some have continued to learn the drums after the lifespan of the project. The project also provided a safe and inspiring space for students from disadvantaged backgrounds (PPG/FSM), and for Looked After Children (LAC).
## **Digression Sessions**
Digression Sessions is a 1-to-1 mentoring programme blending cultural, academic and pastoral support for children over the course of an entire school year. The sessions enable students to pursue interests, get support with school work, express themselves creatively, and broaden their horizons, through weekly sessions with Hand Of educators.
This project responds to the needs of schools, many of whom have found that traditional tutoring has not had the impact they hoped for. Data gathered by schools so far indicates that Digression Sessions, by contrast, has had a breadth of very positive outcomes, including dramatic increases in students’ confidence and attainment.
## **Coastal Explorations**
The Coastal Explorations project launched in 2022, and saw students aged 11 - 15 from three schools working together with contemporary electric guitar ensemble Ex-Easter Island Head. In various ensembles, they explored the coastline close to where they live, designing and building Aeolian instruments (instruments powered by the wind). The final performance of the project took place at the Whitley Bay Playhouse, and featured participating children performing live on stage accompanied by field recordings of their Aeolian instruments.
## **The Lamplighters**
The Lamplighters project took place in Easter 2022, in the Port of Blyth. Participating students from two schools in Blyth created music and art together with drummer Sarah Heneghan (Power Out), inspired by LV50 - the oldest extant wooden light ship in the UK - and artefacts from the Parliamentary Archives. They performed together in the Port at the end of the project.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 SEPTEMBER 2022**
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
## **North Tyneside Sound Walk 2022**
In August 2022, we returned for the third iteration of the North Tyneside Sound Walk. Responding once again to the needs of the participating schools, the 2021 iteration of the project provided a creative, engaging and safe landing for 45 children, in the last two weeks before they began secondary school. They worked together with theatre directors, actors, fine artists, musicians, music producers, and more. They researched stories from around North Tyneside, took field recordings, developed fiction and non-fiction stories, wrote music, recorded their own narration and drama performances, and created art. The finished North Tyneside Sound Walk 2022 was provided free to participating children, and is available to stream on Spotify, download from Bandcamp, or purchase from the Hand Of web-shop.
## **Funding**
We have enjoyed support from a number of grant makers during the year, including the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the House of Lords, and the North Tyneside Learning Trust. The cost of living crisis had an impact on contributions from corporate supporters and participating schools due to demands on their budgets, however we have been able to continue relationships with a number of key supporters.
## **Financial review**
## **Financial review**
The financial results for the period are set out in the attached accounts. They show a deficit for the year of £9,479 (2021: deficit of £9,038) and funds carried forward of £18,820.
Careful and prudent financial management during the last few years have built up sufficient reserves to enable Hand Of to absorb these deficits, during continued uncertainty as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost of living crisis.
## **Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

## **HAND OF LTD**
## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 SEPTEMBER 2022**
## **Reserves policy**
Hand Of’s policy on maintaining reserves is intended:
- To cover lags in funding flows
- To take account of the increasingly uncertain funding environment
- To cover any unforeseen shortfalls
- To mitigate the effect of unexpected failures or defaults in funding
- To provide for unforeseen contingencies
- To fulfil commitments including our office lease, up to the break clause
- To weather the Covid-19 pandemic.
To meet these purposes, Hand Of has a reserves target of £25,000.
At the last year end, Hand Of held £15,525 in reserves after adjusting for non-liquid funds held within fixed assets.
This is below the current target, and is something that we will continue to work to rectify. At the present time, Hand Of is still expanding, and we are working to grow our reserves in order to secure a stable future and cement our position as a force for good in the communities in which we work.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Constitution**
Hand Of Ltd is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 29 April 2016 and registered as a charity on 2 November 2017.
## **Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
The management of the charitable company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
In the period to which these accounts refer, Hand Of appointed two new Trustees, bringing the total at time of writing to 7.
## **Organisational structure and decision-making policies**
The charitable company in this accounting period was run by a board of 5-7 Trustees, working closely with two CEOs on strategic and operational procedures. The board meets on a quarterly basis, and is in contact when necessary by phone and email.
## **Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees**
New board members receive guidance to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles, the board and decision making processes, the business and strategic plans of the Company.

## **HAND OF LTD (A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 SEPTEMBER 2022**
## **Plans for future periods**
We will continue to support children and schools, especially through continuing and expanding projects like Digression Sessions, Coastal Explorations, and the North Tyneside Sound Walk. We will also develop and deliver new projects including The Rigg and Furrow Project and the Number Nine Residency.
We continue to build on partnerships with organisations such as Newcastle University, the North Tyneside Learning Trust, and the Parliamentary Archives, and we are developing new partnerships too.
We continue to work on diversifying and growing our funding income, including by investing in our freelance staff, by launching fundraising campaigns, and by looking for larger grants from the likes of Arts Council England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
We remain hopeful that corporate supporters who withdrew support in 2020 will return, and will therefore be able to offer support again in the future.
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 SEPTEMBER 2022**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Hand Of Ltd ('the charitable company')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 1 September 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the charitable company (and 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 charitable 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 the charitable company'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 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 charitable 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 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
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.
This report is made solely to the charitable company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

## **HAND OF LTD**
**(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 SEPTEMBER 2022**
## **1. General information**
Hand Of Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 10156422 and charity number 1175512. The address of the registered office which is also the principal place of business is 9 Akenside Hill, Princes Wharf, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 3XP.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Hand Of Ltd 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.
## **2.2 Going concern**
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties concerning the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
## **2.3 Income**
All income is recognised once the charitable company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
## **2.4 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. .
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charitable company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and noncharitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charitable company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.4 Expenditure (continued)**
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **2.5 Government grants**
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives .
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|Plant and machinery|-|25% straight line|
|---|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|-|25% straight line|
## **2.7 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.8 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and 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 deposit or similar account.
## **2.9 Liabilities**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.10 Financial instruments**
The charitable company 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **2.11 Pensions**
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charitable company to the fund in respect of the year.
## **2.12 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charitable company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
