## **ALL ENGLAND DANCE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 30 September 2023**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing Document**
All England Dance is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 29 June 2017 (as amended 6[th] April 2018). It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. The members have agreed to contribute £10 in the event of the charity winding up.
The Directors of the Charitable Company (The Charity) are its Trustees for the purpose of Charity law and throughout this report are referred to as the Trustees.
## **Recruitment and Appointment of new Trustees**
One third of the Trustees retire at each Annual General Meeting. The Trustees to retire by rotation are those who have been longest in office since their last appointment. If any of the Trustees were appointed trustees on the same day, those to retire shall be determined by lot.
The person who is acting as Chair or Vice Chair is subject to a maximum term of nine years. Potential new trustees are recruited by recommendation from within the charity's festival or adjudicator membership or from outside from people with relevant skills, experience or qualifications.
## **Organisational Structure**
Trustees understand that they hold ultimate responsibility for the prudent and effective use of resources. They meet regularly to deal with the affairs of the company and deal with incidental matters by e-mail. Trustees understand their legal obligations under charity law, the content of the articles, the decision-making processes and the recent financial performance of the charity. They are supported in this by reference to Charity Commission publications, by advice from the British and International Federation of Festivals and by taking external advice where necessary and are supported in these obligations by the charity's Administrator.
## **Related Parties**
Details of related parties, and any associated transactions, are shown in the notes to the accounts.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and Aims**
The charity' s objects are specifically restricted to the following:
To advance the education of the public in the arts and in particular in the study, performance, appreciation and practice of the art of dance by the promotion of the education of the public in such ways as the trustees think fit , including holding or promoting annual competitive festivals , presenting and promoting public performances, concerts and displays, awarding to such persons as the trustees agree scholarships/maintenance allowances.

## **ALL ENGLAND DANCE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONT'D) For the year ended 30 September 2023**
## **Activities undertaken for the Public Benefit in Relation to the Objectives**
When planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.
The focus of our activities will remain, as before, the staging of a biennial competition, in which every performance is professionally assessed. This benefits the children and young people by their participation in cultural activity adding to their education in the arts, developing their self-confidence and increasing their social skills.
We welcome all children and young people regardless of personal background, faith, gender or personal circumstances and we believe this philosophy of openness to all enriches everyone through the sharing of the talent’s skills, aptitudes and life experiences of our children and young people aged from 3 to 21 and our volunteers.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Internal and External Factors**
The trustees have made a full assessment of the internal and external factors that may affect these financial statements and do not deem any factor material enough to have an impact.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees have set a policy to ensure that the level of available reserves is sufficient to ensure that the charity can continue during any period of unforeseen difficulty. The value of reserves each year is the figure brought forward from the previous year plus the surplus ( or loss sustained) from the current year. Funds are also required for our continued and expanding range of workshops, seminars, bursaries and scholarships. The total unrestricted reserves at 30 September 2023 was £257,200 (30 September 2022 £307,970)
## **Principal Funding Sources**
On alternate years, the principal funding source is the biennial competitions. Otherwise income arises from memberships, advertising, software licensing, annual competitions and sponsorship.
## **Investment Policy and Objectives**
In accordance with the Articles, the Trustees have the power to invest in such investments as they see fit.
## **STATEMENT OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES**
The competitions and other events organised by the Association are open to everyone regardless of race, colour, creed, gender, or sexual preference.
## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
The Charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees ' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources , including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the 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.
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- State whether applicable UK accounting standards 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 charity will continue in business.

## **ALL ENGLAND DANCE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONT'D) For the year ended 30 September 2023**

## **ALL ENGLAND DANCE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 30 September 2023**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2023 set out on pages 6 to 11.
This report is made solely to the Trustees in accordance with Sections 43 and 44 of the Charities Act 1993. 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 for my examination work.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The Charity’s Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Opinion**
In connection with my examination, no other matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
