OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The purpose of the charity is to provide:

The advancement and promotion for the public benefit of good health and education in the arts, in particular but not exclusively among those with long-term mental illness or distress, by the provision and maintenance of inspirational events and the provision of art workshops and such other activities or forms of training/support as the trustees shall from time to time determine.

Nothing in this constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for the purposes, which are not charitable.

Achievements and Performance

As we entered the third year of the Charity we are still recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic and people are still trying to figure out how best to adapt and move forward. As a Charity we were proud that we had continued to support people in whatever way we could but funding, donations and sponsorship are becoming increasingly more difficult to secure.

We continued to learn and grow through the GMCA supported ‘Creative Festivals’ and that provided a focus to expand our reach and collaborate with other groups and individuals doing positive work across Greater Manchester.

#OurWigan Festival

In May 2021 we delivered a week-long online festival celebrating and promoting grassroots community work, creativity, culture and anything positive that was happening in the Borough of Wigan. The highlights were a series of photographs that had been taken by Petro Bekker, an ICU nurse, in the height of the pandemic showing the emotion, both good and bad, of her colleagues inside a busy ICU. We also commissioned a whole range of photographs of the Wigan area taken by local photographer, ‘Holden Images’.

We also recorded special Wigan focused episodes of ‘That Great Manc Pod’ podcast with Petro Bekker and Sheena Wright who were both working in the ICU unit at Wigan hospital at the height of the

pandemic. Sheena (ICU Matron) and Petro (ex-ICU nurse that volunteered to go back to help out) share the experiences of themselves and their colleagues and talk about the amazing photographs that Petro had taken of her colleagues at work during that scary and stressful time. We also recorded an episode with James Walton, a young writer from the Wigan area about his own experiences and struggles developing his creativity. Finally we featured Russ Winstanley, the founder and DJ of the famous Wigan Casino, as part of a special edition where Joe Walsh, the writer of the ‘Casino’ film had an opportunity to discuss all things ‘Northern Soul’ and hear some great stories about the infamous ‘Wigan Casino’ all-nighters.

In addition we commissioned a spoken word piece by Matt Concannon which became the opening piece for the ‘Casino’ film, another legacy project of the #OurWigan festival.

Overall the festival was a great success, new people joined social media to join in and support family and friends and it brought a real sense of community and inspiration into a very dark and distressing time for many people.

#OurBury Festival

Our 4[th] ‘Creative Festival’ featured the individuals, groups and organisations of Bury and the highlight was providing a platform to the ladies who run and attend the ‘BAME Project’, which supports women from underprivileged communities particularly those from South Asian backgrounds. We had fantastic support from Bury Council and again featured many groups and organisations doing fantastic work across the borough from local cricket clubs to homeless film projects.

The Great Manc Pod

As well as the festival specials we also continued to develop the reach of ‘Greater Manchester’s Community Podcast, That Great Manc Pod, by recording and sharing interviews with people who were out in our Greater Manchester communities “doing great things and getting stuff done”. We are particularly proud of the range of individuals and organisations we have showcased through the podcast which has included organisations representing BAMER organisations, youth, health matters, local community groups and a whole range of ‘Creatives’ who we supported to develop their work by featuring on the podcasts.

‘Behind Closed Doors’ Exhibition

As a legacy project of the #OurWigan festival in May 2022 we developed the ‘Behind Closed Doors’ exhibition and event we held in Manchester Central Library and at Wigan Life Centre, supporting staff, patients that had recovered from being intubated, and the loved ones of those who passed away during the pandemic; was incredible and far surpassed the outcomes we envisioned. We were honoured to give Our amazing NHS heroes an opportunity through photography and poetry to show the love, commitment and determination behind the masks when the pandemic first hit. This has also been showcased in Belfast and through a number of NHS conferences, events and publications.

Pendleton College youth project

We were approached by Pendelton College ‘Pastoral Care’ team to work with students to develop issues affecting them after the pandemic. We delivered a number of sessions encouraging students to talk and share some of their experiences and struggles and then gave them the support to develop two pieces of their choosing to express these issues to share with others. They chose to develop a dance piece and a short acting piece that explored the way that people perceived young people but also how hard they are on themselves. It was a real pleasure working with the young people and the 2 pieces they produced have been planned to be used for new entrants joining the college.

‘A beautiful day’ Fundraiser

We were honoured to have been supported by 36 people from the professional community in Manchester who raised just over £14k for the charity by recording a special version of Elbow’s ‘A Beautiful Day’. Each person ‘bought’ a line from the song and then performed it in their own video which was then expertly edited to create a final piece that encouraged their friends and colleagues to donate to the appeal.

Welcome to Greater Manchester programme

Recognising and appreciating the benefits that people moving to the region bring with them, we developed several workshops and online sessions exploring how Greater Manchester is seen from those ‘drawn here, not born here’. This is an ongoing programme which we hope to develop further as the Charity grows and develops.

‘Casino’ Film

As a feature of the #OurWigan festival we filmed ‘Casino’, a short film written by Joe Walsh which provided 8 actors an opportunity to develop something immediately after the end of the pandemic lock-downs. An experimental film (due to it being filmed as we came out of the second national UK Covid lockdown, the first time most of the actors had physically been in a room with another actor for months) which is filmed as part table read, part location shoot, with an original piece of spoken word, specially commissioned for the film, performed over the opening credits.

‘The Runner’ Film – women’s health issues

Following on from meeting James Walton, a young writer from Wigan who we featured on the podcast, we went on to support him in bringing one of his scripts to life in a short film called ‘The Runner’. A young runner pushes herself to mental and physical exhaustion as she tries to deal with the effects of Amenorrhea, an often unexplored and misdiagnosed medical condition in women that can have devastating long term consequences.

A review of our achievements and performance: How our activities delivered public benefit:

The charity trustees can confirm that they have complied with their duty to conduct and guide the charity to benefit the public using their powers, in accordance with the Objects and Charitable Aims outlined in the Constitution.

A financial review

The accounts comply with current statutory requirements of the Charities Act 2011. The trustees have reviewed the accounts and confirm they are an accurate reflection of our financial status.

Investment powers and policy

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves, most of the charity`s funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for any long term investment.

Reserves policy and going concern

The balance held in reserves at 5th April 2022 was £43,060 out of which unrestricted free reserves are £15,274 (restricted: £27,786). The trustees aim to build free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The charity’s main source of income is grants.

The trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.

Volunteers

We have had a range of pro bono advice from people with specialisms in Finance, Legal, Charity development, Branding, Marketing and Fundraising. We have also received the support of a whole range of 'creative' professionals including artists, writers, performers, musicians and those involved in digital creativity. This would number around 60 people who have freely given their time and experience to the Charity. We also value the people who have taken the time to speak to us and give feedback for consultations as individuals and in group settings and we are organising formal working groups to further involve people in the development of the Charity.

Risk Management

The trustees have assessed the risks to which the charity may be exposed with particular reference to those relating to the operations and finances of the charity. Systems are in place to ensure that all risks are recorded for subsequent monitoring and review. In the meantime the trustee’s remain satisfied that all insurable risks have been identified and adequately dealt with and that the charities exposure to other risks is kept at a minimum by good working practice by the trustees and volunteers.

Plans for Future Periods

MancSpirit plans to develop its activities by developing new projects, adapting our creative sessions to be delivered online and work with a range of partners to reach more vulnerable people.

We continue to work alongside Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Trafford Council, Trafford Carers Centre, We Stand Together and many others to develop new projects that deliver online creative wellbeing sessions, improve digital inclusion and bring hope and

5

inspiration in what will a very challenging year ahead. This will be expanded further by the development of two more creative festivals in Tameside and Salford, where we will provide a platform and opportunities for a range of legacy projects for other community groups and organisations.

We will also continue to provide paid opportunities for Greater Manchester ‘creatives’ who have been hit particularly hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Appointment of trustees

The consultation states apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. The Charity will be managed by regular Trustee meetings

Trustee Induction and Training

All trustees receive an induction into the organisation including an induction handbook.

Trustees responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. ) Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing accounts giving a fair and true view, the trustees should follow best practice and:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with The Charities Act 2011 and the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

1.Accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

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

(b) Funds structure

(c) Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Interest on funds held on deposit 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. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

(d) Expenditure Recognition

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 expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings . For more information on this attribution refer to note (f) below.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised on a transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at an amortised cost using the effective interest method.
