Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 30th June 2024

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 30 June 2024. The Trustees confirm that the report complies with the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities.

Public Benefit / Impact

Moving Memory produces performances, workshops and training, offers guidance to others and contributes to research so that people across the country perceive ageing differently. Our experience as older people, and the techniques we have developed, resonate with, and have proved valuable to other marginalised communities.

The work the company produces – and the way it is produced – shows that getting older can be liberating and life enhancing. Through working intergenerationally, Moving Memory demonstrates the richness, value and importance of older people’s lives and their contributions to local communities. The company’s unique Moving Well collaborative practice engages people of all ages and backgrounds with the creative process and is designed to enable participants to work together to tell the stories they want to tell, express their individual identity, and have a voice in wider society.

The Trustees remain satisfied that Moving Memory Dance Theatre Company delivers a clear public benefit through the work it does to challenge ageism, and to bring health and well-being benefits to participants.

The company undertakes a range of ongoing monitoring and evaluation activities which help to measure how well it is succeeding in achieving its aims, how it can improve and how it can increase its impact.

Ethos

Our values are based on generosity of spirit, humility, a sense of fun and including all participants as partners, collaborators and co-authors. Moving Memory is:

Our online social engagement, website use and e-newsletter subscriber base grew by 25% over the year with a particular increase in Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn followers.

2023/24 Activities

Organisational Development

2023/24 was Year 2 of our Strategic Business Plan 2022-25 and Year 1 of a Growth Plan devised with The Considered Ask. Significant achievements of the year, in line with our Action Plan, were the establishment of Groovin Well groups in six key locations in Kent; Dover, Gravesend, Chatham, Maidstone, Southborough and Canterbury District and the production of our first indoor theatre show for three years with funding from Arts Council England, Kent County Council and Age Unlimited.

The Devil’s Doorbell

The Devil’s Doorbell drew upon the lived experience of our core performance company of older women aged between 55 to 94 years. The show was developed and rehearsed with the support of the School of Arts at University of Kent and premiered at The Horsebridge, Whitstable before touring to The Woodville, Gravesend and Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells. In each location, the show opened with a curtain-raiser

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 30th June 2024

performance from local Groovin Well groups in Whitstable, Gravesend, Chatham and Southborough bringing together the core company with Creative Facilitators and community participants to unite all aspects of Moving Memory activity. As one of our Creative Facilitator’s said of the experience:

“Moving Memory have enabled ordinary people to become extraordinary performers. We’ve seen them grow, have pride in their achievements, and everyone’s experience is the richer for it. The level of pride we all felt at all three theatre venues was affecting and life enhancing. Definitely one of the most important projects I’ve ever been involved in.”

We’re keen to continue this method of working with the development of a professional show alongside community participation to celebrate age and ageing and give voice to a wide range of lived experiences. Through this model, we were able to meet our strategic objectives of reaching more people through performance and involving more people through workshops and participation. Importantly, it enables us to keep the work relevant and reach out people who do not ordinarily take part in creative activities or feel that the arts are for them. Audience feedback for the Devil’s Doorbell included:

“It made me feel like I belonged.”

“Made me feel GOOD about getting older.”

“You continue to inspire me and make me feel excited to see what I can embrace as I age. If this is ageing, bring it on!”

Cracking the Crinoline

We were commissioned by Applause Rural Touring and 1 Degree East to ‘reshape’ our much-loved outdoor show Cracking the Crinoline for touring in summer 2024 across the South East of England.

Reshaped for a cast of 5 performers, the show has been extended to 20 minutes with its usual blend of wickedly funny walkabout interactions and a high energy performance with a sting in the tail. The show is usually performed 3 to 4 times in one day and audiences are invited to take part in a workshop with the company after the show to learn some of the moves, have a laugh and get to know the company:

“It was great fun and I loved learning the moves at the end of the show – it’s harder than you think! Such a lovely way to bring everyone together.”

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 30th June 2024

Cracking the Crinoline premiered at South x South East Festival at the Gulbenkian Arts Centre, Canterbury in May before touring across Kent, Sussex and South London. Described as a “wonderfully witty performance. A real firecracker!” the show remains on the Applause Rural Touring menu and we will keep it ‘in rep’ for future touring opportunities.

Staffing

In order to support the expansion of our work, we increased the Creative Director post to full-time and combined the Fundraising Manager and Administration Manager roles into a four day per week Development Director post with the support of The Considered Ask. Cathy Westbrook, a founding member of the company who worked with us for 12 years, left the organisation at the end of September 2023 to pursue new adventures. Cathy’s commitment to the strategic development of Moving Memory has been instrumental in securing our long-term success and we offer heartfelt thanks for her fundraising skills, wise counsel and unwavering support.

We were also able to offer continued freelance work to our four Creative Facilitators on expanded Groovin Well and Damn It! Dance It! programmes and began to train three new Trainee Facilitators with the support of Active Kent & Medway.

The investment in staffing and resources offered by The Considered Ask has meant a 46% increase in incoming resources to £133.5k in YE2024 compared to £91.7k in YE2023. Resources expended have increased by 21% and we’ve increased engagement by 20% with a thriving cohort of older people across Kent & Medway taking part in our work.

In July 2023, we moved into a new Office on the North Staircase at The Grand in Folkestone at the invitation of Grand Arts CIC with a view to sharing space and resources with like-minded artists and creative health practitioners. This has led to Moving Memory taking a leadership role in the formation of CHAFF – Creative Health Alliance for Folkestone – alongside other creative health organisations and practitioners in Folkestone.

In acknowledgement of the growth of the company, we contracted Iconology Ltd to provide external IT/telecoms support and cyber security in order to professionalise our systems and safeguard the organisation against fraud and cyber-attack. YE 2024 therefore includes £3,123 in respect of Telephone and Internet costs; a cost not recognised in previous years' accounts.

From April to June 2024, we engaged fundraising specialists, Chell Perkins, to boost our fundraising activity and provide advice and training to the staff team.

For the Year Ended 30th June 2024

Governance

We invited Nick Ewbank Associates to facilitate an Awayday for the Board of Trustees and staff as part of the December 2023 Board meeting and AGM. This was an opportunity for us all to come together in person for the first time since the global pandemic and gave us focused time to review the strategic plan and growth plan in the light of continued austerity and a challenging environment for the generation of funds.

Dr Kirsty Lloyd stood down as Chair at the AGM after a brilliant three-year term of office and we welcomed Georgette Purdey as our new Chair supported by Pamela Hardiman as our new Vice Chair. Four Trustees resigned their office during the year after ably steering the company through COVID, strategic planning and staffing changes and we offer them our heartfelt thanks for their commitment and wise counsel. We launched a Trustee recruitment campaign in January 2024 and were delighted to welcome four new Trustees at the Board meeting in March.

We reviewed all of our governing policies in 2023-24 with a particular emphasis on Safeguarding; Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging; and Codes of Conduct to reflect our expanding programme and diverse community. We updated our overall Safeguarding Policy and introduced a new Safeguarding Policy for Adults at Risk. We initiated two new Board sub-committees – Health & Wellbeing chaired by Victoria Sheath and Performance Management chaired by Terry Sahathevan – to underpin our long-term welfare and sustainability.

Growth Plan

At the AGM in December 2023, we adopted a three-year Growth Strategy 2024-27 which commits us to engaging more older people in high quality, collaborative and inclusive movement and physical performance activities that support living healthier, happier independent lives.

In the last five years, Moving Memory has performed to over 10,000 people and involved over 1,000 people as participants. We’ve proved our model works and demand now far exceeds our current infrastructure and capacity. In order to continue our vital work, we now need to invest in scaling our operations and increasing our impact.

In 2023-24, we provided the groundwork with revitalised governance, staffing, policies and infrastructure. In 2024-26, we aim to embed six Groovin Well centres across Kent & Medway with ambitions to expand to eight centres in the following years.

Governance & Personnel

The Trustees are committed to fulfilling the expectations and legal responsibilities required by the Charity Commission and have been diligent throughout the year in considering and implementing appropriate policies and working practices.

Risks

The Trustees are committed to ensuring good governance across the whole organisation to ensure that all areas of potential risk are regularly reviewed and mitigation strategies are in place. We now have a risk register and policies on Health & Safety; Privacy; Safeguarding and Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging are in place to mitigate risks in these areas. Policies are regularly reviewed and the Trustees recognise the importance of strong administrative and governance systems in successfully delivering the most effective public benefit of the charity.

Note on Reserves

The charity remains largely project-funded. We continue to fundraise to grow unrestricted and core funds and aim to develop a stable foundation from which we can grow the charity’s work. Our three year strategic plan sets income generation targets. In the long-term we will be seeking to accrue reserves sufficient to cover three months’ activity.

Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees For the Year Ended 30th June 2024

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2024.

This report is made solely to the charity’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 charity’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 charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the charity (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 charity 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 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 Examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I can 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 charity 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 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.
