Open Door People CIO

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

The trustees confirm that the financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Objectives and activities

Purposes and aims

The object for which Open Door People is established (as outlined in the Articles of Association) is to advance the education of people aged between 17 and 26 from low income backgrounds in the theatrical arts by providing them training and preparation to gain a place at the UK’s leading drama schools.

The main activities undertaken in relation to these aims are:

  1. Removing financial barriers to participants accessing the application and audition process for leading drama schools. This includes but is not limited to audition and interview fees for leading drama schools, travel expenses, costs of materials, and technical equipment required for the application and audition/interview process.

  2. Redressing existing inequalities which may stem from a participant’s socio-economic background, and which may impact their ability to compete on a level playing field for their drama school place. This includes but is not limited to one to one tutoring sessions, free theatre tickets, creative workshops, pastoral support, mental health support (including one to one counselling when required) and an allocated industry buddy.

  3. Raising awareness of issues of unequal access to career level training in the areas of performing and backstage arts. This includes but is not limited to raising public awareness of the issues and working with and challenging partner schools to reduce barriers such as expensive audition fees, excess audition recall dates, and emphasis on classical text during the audition process.

Public benefit

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to the general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Improving diversity and representation in the UK drama school intake and therefore the future performing arts workforce.

Despite some awareness beginning to develop in recent years, inequality in regard to access to a career in the arts, as a result of a person's socio-economic backgrounds remain under-researched.

2

Open Door People CIO

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

This is in part due to the delay in adding socio-economic background to the formal list of Protected Characteristics which would allow more data and information to be collected.

However, with audition fees in some of the UK’s leading drama schools reaching £63 for one school, the practical barriers to someone living in poverty accessing an audition are clear. In regard to the less obvious barriers, the Arts Council England ‘Every Child’ report (2016) states that “The reduction in arts subjects being taught in schools was felt by interviewees to impact on those who are not encouraged or cannot afford to engage outside of school.” The same report also recognises that “Parents from higher socio-economic groups are significantly more likely to take their children to arts events and to encourage them to participate in arts activities, as compared with parents from lower socio-economic groups” and that barriers to participation in the arts include “costs of access and transport; digital poverty; and perceptions of culture.”

Open Door People recognises these issues as barriers to young people from low income backgrounds obtaining equal access to a career level training in the performing arts and seeks to redress that imbalance through our work.

The impact of this problem on the representation within the industry is highlighted in research by ‘Panic 2018’ led by sociologists from the Universities of Edinburgh and Sheffield. Their research shows that despite 35% of the population identifying as ‘Working Class’, only 12.4% of those working in the area of film, TV and radio are working class and just 18.3% in music, performing and visual arts.

In the UK (according to the UK Government's Income Distribution Report published September 2020) people from Black or other Ethnic Minority backgrounds are disproportionately represented in the bottom two income quintiles. For example, within the UK, 57% of people identifying as Black and 73% of people identifying as Pakistani are within the bottom two household income quintiles, compared with just 38% of White British people. There remains a clear link in the UK between income and racial identity. It is therefore relevant for us as a charity to recognise that just 12% of the total NPO workforce are people from Black or Ethnic Minority backgrounds, as stated by the Art Council England's most recent diversity report.

Open Door People’s work redresses these imbalances and as a result, over extended periods of time, there is a significant impact on the diversity of each school's intake. As this change starts to become recognised by potential students from minority backgrounds, there will be a knock-on effect of them feeling less alienated from these institutions as a result. We believe this will encourage more applications from people from minority groups. As such, the long-term result of this work is UK drama schools with a more diverse intake and institutions ready and equipped to welcome and support students that more closely reflect the UK population. These outcomes are of clear public benefit.

As of March 2021, there were 73 Open Door People participants studying on BA courses at leading drama schools, including RADA, RCS, Guildhall, LAMDA, RWCMD, RCSSD and Drama Centre as a direct result of the Open Door program. 68% of these drama school students/Open Door participants are from a Black or Ethnic Minority background. All participants are from households with an annual income of less than £30k.

Open Door People CIO

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

As Open Door People’s work significantly diversifies the intake of these leading schools it will in turn have a direct impact on the future workforce of the creative arts industry. This will, in the long term, offer the public a more representative performance industry and creative output.

Improving inclusion within the UK’s leading drama schools.

As well as focusing on issues of access, Open Door People’s work is also improving the experience of those from under-represented groups while studying at drama schools.

Open Door People has been working to make recommendations for reform at drama schools within the areas of inclusion, anti-discrimination and student well-being. The charity also spends time evaluating our drama school partners’ practices in regard to these issues and the quality of training being provided.

Significant numbers of students from marginalised groups are entering these institutions via Open Door People and do so with the continued support of the charity. This allows us to identify barriers - and in some cases issues of discrimination - within the training itself, and challenge and address these issues with each school appropriately.

The work Open Door People does to challenge drama schools on these issues, and support the development of better practice, allows for the positive development of these institutions and is of significant public benefit.

Volunteers

The contribution of volunteers to Open Door People’s practice is predominantly contained to one area of our work - the element of ‘Industry Buddies.’ Participants are allocated an ‘Industry Buddy’ at the end of the Access Programme and again at the end of the Graduating Group programme when they’re leaving their drama school training. Setting up participants with ‘Industry Buddies’ allows us to help them generate industry connections and networks and receive ongoing career mentorship. ‘Industry Buddies’ are matched with participants with awareness of participants’ interests, strengths and career aspirations to ensure they are as relevant as possible. The buddies do not have set hours but can develop their own professional mentoring relationship with the participants, arranging catch-ups or theatre trips when they and the participants see fit. ‘Industry Buddies’ must adhere to the Open Door People safeguarding policy at all times.

Open Door People are occasionally approached by those who wish to volunteer their skills or to gain experience in a volunteer role within our office. In order to ensure equal access to any volunteer opportunities and to protect the right to fair pay we do not offer volunteer opportunities for more than one week per person. In order to increase access further, the week of volunteering can be spread over a period of 3 months allowing potential volunteers to maintain paid employment simultaneously. Further volunteer roles include members of the industry offering their time to speak on Q&A panels or run workshops for the participants. A volunteer offering their time in this regard would similarly be limited to a total of one week’s volunteering per year. This restriction does not apply to our ‘Industry Buddies’ volunteers.

Open Door People CIO

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

Open Door gave each drama school in the Federation of Drama Schools the opportunity to make two nominations for the programme. Participants were nominated by some of the UK’s leading Drama Schools such as Guildhall, Manchester Met, Mountview, RADA, Drama Centre and Royal Welsh.

Shortlisted nominees attended a short interview and submitted self-tapes which were reviewed by an industry-leading panel. The panel was made up of: casting directors Shaheen Baig and Amy Ball, actor and writer Ronke Adekoluejo, Artistic Director of the Nottingham Playhouse Adam Penford, Curtis Brown talent agent Lara Beach, Open Door People Executive Producer Ruth Milne & Open Door People Artistic Director David Mumeni.

March 2020 - July 2020

During this year, we were working with a total of 47 participants:

This group achieved 286 recalls, 127 final rounds and 61 offers. 28 participants took up a place on a BA course at drama school in September 2020; 27 of these places were at an Open Door People partner drama school. 18 participants graduated onto our Return Group 2020/21 programme.

Each acting access programme participant enjoyed 15 hours of one-to-one tutoring and 12 creative workshops. Each Return Group programme participant enjoyed 12 creative workshops. Each Behind The Scenes participant was offered 8 hours of one-to-one tutoring. All participants were offered creative workshops at all participatory drama schools.

Return Group participants were allocated 80 hours across the programme in each location. These hours were divided into group workshops and one on one sessions as applicable. They were also offered interview practice with Ruth Milne and access to creative workshops from participatory drama schools.

In addition, participants were offered free tickets to live theatre where and when possible including Under Milk Wood and Death of England: Delroy at the National Theatre, The Color Purple at the Curve Leicester which included a Q&A, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at RADA. Due to the pandemic, availability of tickets was restricted.

The first national lockdown forced all currently running programmes online, and drama schools switched any remaining auditions to either self tape, or an online process. Open Door used its hardship fund to support participants with extra data, stronger wifi and fundamental recording equipment to continue to give equity to the audition process.

A relationship between one of our sponsors and the NYAT resulted in Open Door People being able to facilitate participants from Open Door, Intermission and RADA Youth group receiving food bursaries through the height of the economic hardship they encountered as a result of the effects of COVID-19 and national lockdowns.

July 2020 - November 2020

In the summer of 2020, Open Door People came together for a talk about very public revelations of allegations of historical racism in drama schools, including some of our partner schools. It was decided that Open Door People would pause its usual Access Group activity until deeper investigations were carried out and schools were able to assure the safety and fair treatment of its Black and Global Majority students both pastorally and pedagogically. During this time allegations and accounts of other general misconduct and safeguarding events within the sector also arose which strengthened the reasoning to pause our usual Access Group. In direct reaction to these allegations the team started to pen “Reform Papers” that could offer a blueprint of how schools might move forward in terms of ensuring diverse and representative learning communities are given equity and support through their training and suggestions around safeguarding training and robustness.

The team were also present to support and talk to schools about the current situation and suggest people who were able to hold spaces for affected students to talk about their experiences.

We continued to support current and past participants pastorally.

November 2020 - March 2021

During this year, we were working with a total of 39 participants:

Numbers were limited due to our decision to not take on a new group for our Access Programme in 2020 in line with issues with safeguarding standards at drama schools mentioned above.

Our Return Group participants were provided with:

Return Group participants were allocated 80 hours across the programme in each location. These hours were divided into group workshops and one on one sessions as applicable. They were also offered interview practice with Ruth Milne and access to creative workshops from participatory drama schools.

During the year, the Open Door People management team attended to various safeguarding issues connected with behavioural issues, mental health and the general wellbeing of Open Door People’s participants. All matters were handled in line with Open Door People’s policies and procedures and in a careful and considered way. Advice was sought from professional organisations as necessary, and the trustees were kept up-to-date as each of these matters proceeded.

Challenges have included:

Outcomes and Impact

“[Open Door People] gave me a sense of community and made me feel not so alone within the daunting audition process. They were a continuous support system and gave me advice which I wouldn’t have access to in my everyday life. Not only this, but [Open Door People] took away the huge financial pressure that comes with auditioning for drama schools and ultimately this made me feel much more at ease going into these auditions” - Open Door People participant 2019/20

“I'm just incredibly grateful I had this opportunity as it shaped the way I see myself as an actor. I'm far less self critical but still recognise what challenges me and what I need to work on. I feel more positive about my prospects for the future and I am so much more comfortable in an audition room which I am certain played a huge part in me getting a place this year” - Open Door People participant, 2019/20

Financial review

Despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, Open Door People has navigated the year with a positive financial performance and a strong final position at the year end.

Results for the year ended 31 March 2021 are given in the Statement of Financial Activities. The assets and liabilities are given in the Balance Sheet. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the related notes. In summary, income for the year amounted to £121,361 (2020: £186,607) whilst £90,950 (2020: £137,414) was expended during the year as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Net income for the year was £30,411 (2020: £49,193). Full details of income and expenditure are set out in notes to the financial statements.

The reserves position as at 31 March 2021 was £79,604 (2020: £49,193). The Trustees regard the financial position of the Charity at 31 March 2021 to be satisfactory and they are content that the current unrestricted reserves position leaves it with a sound base from which future activity can be built.

The principal funding for Open Door People was from government and public bodies (in particular, the Arts Council), our partners (drama schools and theatres), and various other companies and individuals. The income is generated to deliver our programme of education and support for our students in their applications to leading drama schools, which covers both technical assistance and pastoral care.

To some extent, the finances are reasonably low risk as each intake of students is budgeted with a funding application made to the Arts Council to supplement donations from other sources.

Reserve policy

Open Door People has initially proposed a reserves policy that will ensure that the charity maintains at least six months of basic running costs in our unrestricted reserves in order to ensure the stability and continued smooth running of the charity's activities. At the year end, free reserves were £72,782, which would cover at least eleven months of the basic running costs (i.e. costs without participant costs, which would be dependent on activity in the charity).

The Board of Trustees will review the policy regularly as the charity develops to ensure it is appropriate.

Going concern

The Trustees have reviewed the after-date financial information, including projections, and have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statement. Included in this review, the Trustees have considered the continued impact of the Covid-19 outbreak, which has significantly impacted the industry and the general economy. Despite this, the Charity has continued to receive donations plus funding from the Arts Council and can readily tailor the operations to adapt to the effects of the crisis.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Open Door CIO is a charity registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Studio 9, 6 Cliff Road, London NW1 9AN

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102). The charity is exempted from preparing a cash flow statement due to the exemption available to charities with income less than £500,000.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from grants and donations are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Bank interest on funds is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose and their associated support costs.

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of charitable activities that are undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

Open Door CIO

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the basis of staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

Tangible fixed assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rate in use is 25% straight line for all categories of assets.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes all bank balances kept in current accounts.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments which are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
