ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Significant activities

Activity during 2021/2022:

This report provides a summary of activity highlights and outcomes for the financial year 2021-2022.

Introduction

This year was another excellent year for Disability Arts Online, reaching more people than ever before, working with key partners to help deliver our objectives. Our total audience increased from 227,301 in 2020-21 to 279,809 in 2021-22. Our target of 5% was more than met, achieving a 23% increase by the end of the year. We also had a 21% rise in page views in 2021- 22, compared to 2020-21 and 27% in website visits.

Summary of digital content and events delivery:

A wide range of content was delivered throughout the year. This included increased focus on learning disability and autism featuring OpenStorytellers and Heart n Soul, as well as representation within television dramas. Reviews continued to feature a range of disability representation within film and television. Unsurprisingly a discussion on the award-winning US documentary Crip Camp was amongst the highest pages receiving traffic in Q1, next to a social model interview with disabled producer Jo Verrent.

In Q2 our focus on concerns around the intersection between disability, race and a queer identity continued this quarter with an in-depth conversation between Abby and Uz of Rad Sec, London on radical self-care for artists from QTPOC communities and a review of a poetry anthology Apricot Toast. Another significant series this quarter produced in partnership with Attitude is Everything came from mainstream music producer Ben Price focussing on his research report on the devastating impact of the fear people have of identifying as disabled in the music industry. Ben wrote passionately from his own lived experience, which resonated with our readership, evidenced in the many comments left in response.

In Q3 one of the eagerly awaited projects for this quarter was the Guest Editorship with Zuleika Lebow. The theme was representations of disability and race in science fiction and fantasy, covering film, music, visual arts and literature. The content engaged people in new and exciting ways and we feel confident elements will become a point of referral on these issues. Zuleika brought us into contact with ten disabled artists with lived experience of racism, seven of whom were new to us, leading to a huge upsurge in the number of intersectional pieces.

We published an interview with Director of Visual Arts at Arts Council England, Peter Heslip following his personal journey with autism. He talked about the representation of autism in the visual arts and his hopes for the arts sector in opening up new conversations.

In Q4, our Transforming Leadership project with Access All Areas culminated in our Guest Editorship with autistic creative Deen Hallissey delivering a 4-week Takeover resulting in video interviews, showcases and creative media pieces.

Disabled curator Gill Crawshaw reported on the Not Going Anywhere exhibition and we also ran an interview with Emma Jones about her Nightstand Collective - an online project foregrounding the lives of people with chronic illness. Q4 also saw the presentation of the first two parts in a series commissioned from artist Louise Page titled Psyche Drawings in which they describe a process of art-making that gave the artist the tools and resilience to get through an extreme period of psychosis, resulting from abuse within the psychiatric system.

Benedict Phillips presented Here's Looking at You: Research and Development project with an interview and a short video summarising a day's workshop presentation at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

A highlight in this quarter was the long-awaited BBC television drama Then Barbara Met Alan telling the story of two disabled activists who fought discrimination in the 1990s. We covered the drama with an interview with one of the actors and a piece from the perspective of an activist who took the part of an extra in the programme.

Disability And...Podcast:

This year the partnership with Graeae to deliver the podcast entered its third and final year with topics covering history, hidden stories in collections, directing, ensemble work, sci-fi, and the Paralympics. This culminated in DAO's founding editor Colin Hambrook and Nickie Miles-Wildin from Graeae looking back at the podcasts produced during the partnership.

Events:

The focus on accessible ways of presenting arts events online increased, recognising the numbers of disabled people shielding long-term.

Alongside Deen's DAO Takeover we worked with Access All Areas on the highly successful Transforming Leadership conference event at Battersea Arts Centre. Learning disabled voices took centre-stage to present their challenge to the cultural sector in excluding them from leadership opportunities. This hybrid event led to 537 views and a significant amount

DAO (DisabilityArtsOnline) Limited Report of the Trustees Continued For the year ended 31 March 2022

of engagement with over 1000 comments on YouTube.

Partnering with Jennifer Lauren Gallery we hosted an artists' conversation with Sonia Boue? about her Neurophototherapy Project on World Autistic Pride Day. It was a stimulating talk, redefining ways in which art can be used to deepen a relationship with issues of identity.

DAO's self-published book Electric Bodies: Travels in Life History was launched, marking the culmination of the D4D project, documenting the life stories of a series of disabled artists.

'Mirrored to the Core' presented a video artwork with an operatic twist with a panel discussion hosted by Alys Skott-Hawkins with lead artist James Paddock, opera director Rosalind Parker, video artist Sarah Mace-Dennis and DAO editor Colin Hambrook. This broadcast is one of our highest viewed events.

New DAO Associate Artist Priya Mistry presented Queered that Consent? - a two-part Video Podcast inviting audience to drop in on intersectional conversations about queer practices in partnership with Cultural eXchanges Festival and Duckie.

Talent development:

The partnership with Attenborough Arts Centre to deliver five Artist Support Commissions was completed this year, with the artists completing the work they were commissioned to do. This was rounded off with a showcase event in September '21.

The 'community outreach' activities focussed on commissioning artists from the Facebook group to showcase their work on the DAO website. One such example was a poetry collection edited by Alan Morrison and Kate Jay-R, which received good traffic within the showcases section. Kate Rigby was commissioned to provide advice and information relating to her 40 year history of self-publishing. We also supported several new and many existing blogs and some crowdfunding campaigns.

Our plans for 35 Covid Commissions were made concrete with the selection process delivered and commissions confirmed as well as a project partnership with Together 2012 who gave the project some investment with the intention of syndicating a selection of the showcases. Nearly all 35 commissions were delivered within the year, with just a few outstanding at the end of the year. Although valuable for the artists involved, this programme put significant strain on capacity. There are no plans to repeat the scheme now that the situation caused by the pandemic has evolved.

Associate Artists:

gobscure

CEO, Trish supported gobscure on a fruitful research visit to Wales to further develop their 'yu have already survived' project and to make connections with local organisations including Llantarnum Grange and Theatr Brycheiniog. They developed an info pack about the multi-format work to send out to venues and developed an exhibition proposal for Llantarnum Grange. gobscure completed their blog series of audio rants 'different battle same war' and delivered four articles and a successful event on the intersection of disability and homelessness in partnership with the Museum of Homelessness. There was a lot of powerful positive feedback on the discussion, describing it as thought-provoking especially in terms of holding space and supporting one another safely.

Ashokkumar Mistry

We worked closely with Ashok Mistry to successfully apply to the British Art Network for a Disability Research Group. The project will run over the course of the next two years and will support Ashok's career as a curator and researcher, lending him much-deserved credibility.

Letty McHugh

Letty developed her Book of Hours project. Originally planning to launch it at Keighley Creatives, the venue was forced to pull out due to undergoing refurbishment following a successful funding application. DAO facilitated an introduction to Leeds Playhouse who agreed to host the event (delivered in 2022-23 financial year).

We also confirmed the next cohort of Associates in multidisciplinary, Midlands-based Priya Mistry, Scottish poet Ellen Renton (supported with funding from Edwin Morgan trust), and collage-artist Sasha Saben-Callaghan.

70 one-to-one Artist Development Sessions were delivered. Demand for one-to-one Artist Development Sessions was higher than we had capacity to meet or had planned for. On average, survey respondents scored the sessions 93 out of 100 for helpfulness and level of impact. One respondent said: Best session I've ever had! Heard, encouraged, given ideas for development. Such a positive reflection I was amazed and astounded. The Onyx project also delivered one-to-one sessions aimed at disabled artists who experience racism. Two visual arts 'peer critique' sessions were piloted and found to be useful to those participating.

Sector development:

3 of 17

DAO (DisabilityArtsOnline) Limited Report of the Trustees Continued For the year ended 31 March 2022

A significant amount of consultancy and partnership work was delivered this year. We undertook consultancy work for Arts Council England's Investment Principles team, providing feedback on access and curation of content for the forthcoming Investment. Principles Hub. The British Council commissioned a series of training events including a webinar, and four workshops with groups of disabled writers and mainstream journalists in Indonesia. We continued our operational alliance with the British Council, working on Disability Arts International and Europe Beyond Access, extending our work to facilitate the delivery of online events as well as editorial support.

Abandon Normal Devices sought advice for access for their festival. Training was delivered to disabled artists for Disability Arts in Shropshire (DASH), Autograph Disability Arts in Surrey (DAiSY) and Mind the Gap. Of particular note in Q3 was a demonstration of our potential to secure international consultancy work, with Arts MidWest, USA asking us to write a guide to the arts from a social model perspective for their online Ideas Hub.

We took part in a hybrid, in-person and live-streamed event on 9 November set up by DAO Trustee Paul Wilshaw who is Agent for Change for Leeds Playhouse. Let's Talk: Turning Words into Actions was part of the Furnace Festival and included Colin Hambrook, Trish Wheatley and Associate Director Amy Leach discussing an action plan for putting inclusion on the agenda.

An exciting development in making connections with higher education institutions for the disability arts history course occurred when links were made with Liverpool Hope University. This new connection with Dr Claire Penketh, head of disability studies and leader of the anti-ableist pedagogy group has led to fantastic opportunities to speak at the group meeting and be published in AD, the journal of the National Society of Education in Art and Design.

Organisational development:

The Trustees increased the size of the board to add further diversity and expertise. Much work went into advertising and interviewing new board members based on strategically seeking expertise and diversity lacking on the board. Four new board members were voted onto the board in 2021-22. They are Elinor Lisney, Ailis Ni Riain, Steph Fuller and Elinor Morgan.

In summer 2021, eight 'Beyond 2023' development sessions were held aimed at long term strategic development. Associate artists (past and present), staff and trustees attended the sessions, helping DAO to embed the Arts Council's Investment Principles and prepare for the NPO application process. The process of appointing Investment Principle Champions was started. A board away day in November helped to cement the new board members into the team and look ahead at plans beyond 2023, specifically around how we articulate our offer and how we resource it.

Salesforce implementation progressed, with data migration and initial staff induction complete. This work intends to create more efficient and effective ways to communicate with our beneficiaries and stakeholders. It will also become a repository for 'organisational knowledge' recording the history of significant interactions, reducing reliance on the knowledge of individual staff members.

Support for individuals applying to the government's Access to Work scheme continued to be tested in its pilot phase in partnership with Cathy Waller Company. Having maintained a 100% success rate with applications throughout the pilot phase, it is intended that the support will continue through to a fully advertised service. Alongside this, an introductory webinar for disabled freelancers wanting to apply was delivered. For the first time, we asked participants to 'pay what you want' and received donations to the net value of £144 from 40 tickets sold.

Through the development sessions and internal discussions, some initial ideas about a brand and website refresh were mooted. This led to a successful application to Arts Council England's Capital Investment Fund for a complete redevelopment of our digital infrastructure. This included a much more detailed approach to the website and brand refresh than we had originally anticipated. This will be delivered in a phased approach across 2022-25.

Development of plans for paid educational content have progressed with Alison Wilde producing an initial report on likely partner institutions and an outline module structure. Work has begun to identify how the creation of this course might be funded. Conversations with web developers Surface Impression helped us to understand what web development would need to take place in order to provide a secure and accessible platform.

Policy development has been focused on developing a supportive structure for everyone who works with DAO as well as tightening up our approach to procurement. A new Procurement Policy has been adopted by the board. With associate artist gobscure, we developed the 'Mad Manual', a working document for helping people to stay well at work and find ways to cope when things aren't going well - to help people navigate living and working in a 'mad world'. Alongside the manual a 'survive and thrive' plan template has been developed for individuals to identify their access requirements, optimum working conditions and a plan of action if they become unwell. This pioneering work will undergo further operational testing before we share it with the sector.

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 carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

DAO (DisabilityArtsOnline) Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2022

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and 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 (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.

DAO (DisabilityArtsOnline) Limited 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 note(s).

Going concern

The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

Statement of cash flows

The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in SORP FRS 102 from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the charitable company is small.

Funds

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.

Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.

Transfer of funds from restricted to unrestricted are to reimburse all or some of the full economic cost of running the project to Disability Arts Online including staffing and overheads.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Resources expended

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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All costs can be directly attributed to an expense category.

Taxation

As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
