For the Year Ended 30th June 2025

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 2025.

Public Benefit & Impact

Moving Memory creates joyful, inclusive dance experiences that improve health and wellbeing for older people and marginalised communities across Kent and Medway. We work with beneficiaries aged 55+, many of whom live with long-term physical or mental health conditions, experience chronic loneliness or face barriers to accessing the arts and formal exercise. Our facilitators are experts in co-creative practice, empowering participants to shape workshops and choreography. Through our Moving Well programme we build confidence, physical stamina and a sense of belonging, supporting older people to live more active, creative and connected lives.

Our core performance company has been working in town centres, festivals and theatres across Kent and Medway for over a decade. The company creates highly visual performances inspired by the lived experience of older women, often performing outdoors and in non-traditional spaces. Originally untrained, our dancers, aged 55 to 94, have achieved a high standard of professionalism. Being part of the company has had a huge impact on their physical and mental wellbeing.

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:

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 30th June 2025

During the year:

We implemented Year 3 of our Strategic Plan 2022-25 and developed a new Strategic Action Plan 2025-28 with the support of a mentor from Kent Charity Mentors. The new strategic plan integrates the 3 Year Growth Plan and the two documents now work alongside each other.

We reached audiences of 3034 people including work by community participants and 28 performances of core company shows Golden Slumbers , The Devil’s Doorbell and Cracking the Crinoline .

We delivered 90 workshops involving 1150 attendances in shopping centres, arts centres, community halls and libraries across Kent & Medway.

We delivered 20 training and professional development sessions involving 37 participants.

Our team of Creative Facilitators led Moving Well programmes in Canterbury, Lordswood, Dover, Margate, Maidstone and Southborough.

We were joined by a new Trainee Creative Facilitator (a Dover participant) supported by Dover Town Council.

We provided over 500 hours of freelance work for our Creative Facilitation Team.

We worked with 6 volunteers and 4 students on placement from the University of Kent.

We formed a new Advisory Committee of 7 current and former participants to shape the creative programme and feed into long-term strategy.

2024-25 Activities

Organisational Development

2024-25 was the final year of our Strategic Business Plan 2022-25. Significant achievements of the year, in line with the plan, were the continuation of Moving Well groups in six key locations in Kent; Canterbury, Lordswood, Dover, Margate, Maidstone and Southborough and the production of a new outdoor show for touring with funding from Arts Council England and commissions from POW Thanet, Ideas Test, Beee Creative, Applause and Gulbenkian Arts Centre / bOing! Festival.

The Moving Memory Dance Theatre Company (a company limited by guarantee)

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 30th June 2025

Income and expenditure continue to grow as part of a managed expansion of our work with older people across Kent and Medway. With many thanks to The Considered Ask for their ongoing funding and support, particularly with regard to the Growth Plan.

Golden Slumbers

Golden Slumbers drew upon the lived experience of our core performance company of older women aged between 55 to 94 years. The show was funded by a National Lottery Project Grant through Arts Council England and commissioned by Ideas Test, POW Thanet, Beee Creative and Gulbenkian Arts Centre with support from Applause Rural Touring. The performance was developed and rehearsed at the School of Arts, University of Kent and premiered at ARK, Cliftonville’s Cultural Space and Turner Contemporary, Margate before touring to Lordswood Gather & Groove; Watford High Street; Wavelengths festival, Folkestone; The Pantiles, Tunbridge Wells and bOing Family Festival, Canterbury.

This has been our most ambitious production to date, bringing together our core company, creative facilitators, a live band led by Musical Director Nina Clark (The Slumbers) and a chorus of 42 community participants drawn from extensive workshops across Kent & Medway (The Glories). Together, they created a vivid and moving show that explored the endless cycle of labour experienced by women through their lives while celebrating everyone’s right to a little rest and recuperation. The show was devised using our cocreative approach which draws on ideas, movement and sound based on the life experiences of those involved, resulting in a rich mix of the moving and the muck of life. Core company reflections included:

“Working with live musicians completely transformed our process. From the start, sound became a living, playful part, breaking down barriers and encouraging connection. Collaborating with members of the local community has been especially enriching; their energy, openness and real life stories brought an incredible depth to the work. The interplay between live music, community voices and performers created a sense of immediacy and shared ownership.”

For many of the Glories, the show was a chance to explore new possibilities in ways they had never considered before. One participant said:

“I like that older people take up a lot of space with the show. It’s so important.”

For another:

“If you’d told me when we started, at the end you’ll be performing this outside, I’d have said NO WAY, but I did it!”

Many of them made firm friends and they are now committed members of the extended company, joining as volunteers, assistants and members of our Advisory Committee:

“Social activities like this which are also physical and creative are so special for those in the senior age range. Long may this continue and long may I be involved in it.” Dover workshop participant, advisory committee member and volunteer

“Thank you for sharing the footage - it looks amazing! It is a very strange experience to see myself on film though! Proof that we're never too old to try new things and I didn't just dream it all.” Lordswood, Folkestone and Canterbury participant

The Moving Memory Dance Theatre Company (a company limited by guarantee)

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 30th June 2025

The show was well received in each location and defied expectations of what older people can achieve. Audience feedback included:

“Loved the bed, the feathers, the bling. Powerful stuff.” Audience member, Margate.

“What an amazing show – all the hardship of a woman’s work along with the sheer pleasure of exhausted sleep encapsulated in 20 minutes of some of the best physical performance I’ve seen for a long time.” Audience member, Folkestone.

Cracking the Crinoline & The Devil’s Doorbell

We continued to tour our small-scale outdoor show Cracking the Crinoline across the South East as part of Applause Rural Touring and presented our theatre show The Devil’s Doorbell on home territory at Gulbenkian Arts Centre to an appreciative audience:

“Great to see older women performing and tackling powerful subject matter. So relatable!”

This reflects our ambition to keep shows ‘in rep’ over the long term in order to keep the company together and capitalise on investment.

Staffing

To support the expansion of our work, we were joined in February by a new 1 day per week Marketing & Communications Manager. This appointment is already paying dividends with increased national profile and reaching more audiences and participants across the region.

With the support of a Stabilisation Grant from Colyer Fergusson Charitable Trust of £7,500, we worked with Izzy Madgwick Arts Marketing and The Lonely Pixel to refresh our digital presence and make the website more accessible. As a result of this renewed focus on marketing and communications, our online social engagement, website use and e-newsletter subscriber base have grown by 22% with a particular increase in Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn followers. This gave us the confidence to launch an ambitious crowdfunding campaign in June to support our Moving Well programme in Dover.

Incoming resources for the year ended 2025 totalled £172,765, representing an increase of £39,245 (29.4%) compared to £133,520 in the previous year. The rise reflects increased grant income paired with a growth in

earned income from commissions and fees. Resources expended have increased by 11% and we’ve increased engagement by 49% with a thriving cohort of older people across Kent & Medway taking part in our work.

We’re consequently able to offer continued freelance work to our four Creative Facilitators on an expanded Moving Well programme and we began to train a new Trainee Facilitator from our Dover cohort with the support of Dover Town Council.

Moving Memory continues to take a leadership role in CHAFF – Creative Health Alliance for Folkestone – and in May this year CHAFF was commissioned by Kent County Council to lead on a public consultation about rates of pay for independent artists working in creative health.

In acknowledgement of our work with older people, we were invited by Flying Geese cultural consultancy to take part in a national consultation about family-friendly arts activity for the Family Arts Campaign. The consultation was attended by 22 members of Moving Memory including core company, regular participants and our new Advisory Committee.

Governance

We invited Nick Ewbank Associates to facilitate an Awayday for the Board of Trustees and staff as part of the December 2024 Board meeting and AGM. This was an opportunity for us all to come together in person and gave us focused time to think about a new strategic plan in the light of continued austerity and a challenging environment for the generation of funds.

The Board of Trustees remained stable at eight members with room to expand skills and expertise in the coming years. The Health & Wellbeing sub-committee chaired by Victoria Sheath and Performance Management sub-committee chaired by Terry Sahathevan continued to underpin our long-term welfare and sustainability and to feed into Trustee meetings.

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.

Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 30th June 2025

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 work to a risk management framework which is reviewed quarterly by the Performance Management sub-committee. Policies on Safeguarding; Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging; Health & Safety; Privacy; Complaints; Bullying & Harassment and a Code of Conduct are in place to mitigate risks in these areas. Policies are reviewed annually 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 and our reserves policy states that our aim is to build and maintain reserves sufficient to cover six months of core operational activity. This level of reserves is considered prudent to ensure continuity of service and to manage unforeseen financial challenges. In the short term, we are working towards holding reserves equivalent to at least three months of operational activity as a realistic and achievable interim target. This reserves policy is reviewed annually to ensure it remains appropriate in light of the charity's financial position and future plans.

With thanks

The Trustees would like to take the opportunity to say an enormous thank you to everyone who has supported the success of the company this year with special thanks to:

Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees For the Year Ended 30th June 2025

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025.

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.
