The charity's objects
The charity's objects
The charity’s objects are, for the benefit of people in particular but not exclusively in the Seacroft area of Leeds:
-
the advancement of the art of drama in such ways as the trustees may from time to time decide.
-
to promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society though the provision of creative activities.
For the purpose of this clause ‘socially excluded’ means being excluded from society, or part of society, as a result of being a member of a socially and/or economically deprived community.
The charity's main activities
Fall into Place Theatre (“FiP”) is a charitable organisation that wants theatre to be enjoyed by all, providing the opportunity for creativity, togetherness and fun through drama sessions, workshops and community-led projects.
It is led by the two founders, Sarah and Naomi, who combine their different backgrounds, skills, experience and qualities to drive forward the mission.
OUR MISSION
Changing lives through creativity and connection
OUR VISION
To be the known charity in Yorkshire for building confidence and joy through creativity
OUR AREAS OF STRATEGIC FOCUS
We deliver our vision through developing our services across three areas:
-
Fall into Place - WE ARE SEACROFT
-
Fall into Place - COMMUNITY PROJECTS
-
Fall into Place - TRAINING AND EVENTS
OUR VALUES
Everything we do is underpinned by our strong values and we will only work with others who respect our core beliefs
COMPASSION
We want to allow others to live the best lives they
can in a safe, friendly and inclusive space
JOY
We believe fun, laugher and play are crucial for a joyful life at any age
INTEGRITY
We strive to be open and honest and be transparent about our aims, needs and decisions
Fall Into Place - We are Seacroft empowers children, young people and their families to make positive changes in their lives and area. We do this by listening to what the community wants and adopt a co-designed approach to developing innovative ideas, opportunities and experiences. Collaboration is at the heart of our work.
Fall into Place - We are Seacroft engages young people through outreach, detached and centre-based youth activities, working compassionately and in ways that ensure the best interests of the community are at the forefront of their decisions. A key focus is building resilience in young people, and their parents/carers, who face adverse childhood trauma, challenges and inequalities.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 October 2022
The charity's main activities continued
Fall Into Place Community runs a range of activities and creative workshops for people of all ages, including singing, dance, drama and mindfulness techniques.
A key focus is supporting adults who may have barriers accessing other art groups such as unpaid carers, people who are seeking asylum or have refugee status, people experiencing isolation or anxiety.
Fall Into Place Training and Events offers community groups and third sector workers training opportunities to build communication and wellbeing skills, through creative exercises and a performing background perspective.
FIP Training and Events also run exciting theatre events that focus on local issues and sparks debate on issues that matter to our local communities.
We regularly run a range of activities, workshops and events including:
Drama / creative workshops for people of all ages, including singing, dance, drama and creative writing.
Youth club and after school drama and creative clubs.
Drama based workshops to build skills in confidence, communication and wellbeing across all ages.
Community events and live performances.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
We secured some funding to work on the strategic direction of Fall Into Place.
We have strengthened our mission and goals, and have a clearer picture of our impact.
We have a clearer understanding of where our finances are, the year ahead and the grants we need to apply for due to hiring our finance manager.
We are able to signpost to other local activities better, we have improved our activities and offerings based on understanding our impact better.
There is now 'levels' of engagement for people we work with, so people can come along to one off workshops, a six week project or be part of/see an event each year, meaning we can reach people 'where they are' and have a constant offer, whilst also providing opportunities to commit to more and build towards a performance. Projects will be less 'stop start' and will be more likely to flow regularly each year, due to having a cycle plan in place and space to apply for grants ahead of time.
As we transitioned out of being a Covid response organisation we saw the benefit in continuing to work in close partnership across Seacroft.
Fall into Place - WE ARE SEACROFT
This network grew out of wanting to be a well-connected community that recognises its power to create social change and sustain a safer environment for everyone. In responding to local, and global, challenges, we saw the power of collaboration and a community who were able to look out for each other and look after each other. We saw that we had the skills and resources to make real change between us and we are committed to working closely together, long term. Many of the people involved have lived and worked in Seacroft for a long time, but came together in new ways. The lead organisations that helped to initiate this conversation include LS14 Trust, Fall Into Place Theatre, Seacroft Community on Top, Kentmere Community Centre, Seacroft Churches, Chapel FM Arts Centre, Seacroft Friends and Neighbours, Seacroft and Manston Cluster and Climate Action Seacroft.
In partnership with other local trusted organisations and services we have set up a successful programme for young people at Kentmere Community Centre for children to experience a wide range of creative activities.

Achievements and performance continued
Girls group
The younger group for yr5-yr8 is for supporting girls who are becoming teenagers, helping them to navigate what the change in themselves means with positive role models who can support them and answer questions they have. We focus on looking at inspiring women and creative activities centred around what it means to be female.
The older group for yr9 + is for supporting teenagers who are becoming women, helping them through decisions they have to make and understanding what they want to achieve from this next stage of life. We cook and eat dinner together and initiate conversation around subjects such as mental health, relationships, higher education and work.
Sibs Group
A group for children whose siblings have complex needs and/or disabilities. The group seeks to understand more about the barriers their siblings face but also provides a space for participants to enjoy being themselves and having time away from any responsibilities they have at home. We offer creative activities that are used as a way to engage the children in conversations around understanding their emotions, thoughts and frustrations.
Hang Out
An inclusive space for young people to socialise, be creative and explore their identity. It is run by a facilitator in the LGBTAQ+ community and it is led by what the young people want. There have been trips and visits from guest facilitators.
Play Agenda
We have been heavily involved in both play streets and play sufficiency with Leeds City Council to look at ways we can improve play opportunities for children locally and across the city.
Fall into Place - Community Projects, Training and Events
The Fall into Place Community Projects and Fall into Place Training and Events were scaled down due to a Director being on maternity leave for the majority of this year, but the following core activities took place:
Creative Carers
Creative Carers group for unpaid carers to be creative and have respite in a friendly, safe space, culminating in a short performance to local councillors, friends and family.
Creative welling workshops for people who are asylum seekers
Creative wellbeing workshops for people across Leeds (primarily women) who are asylum seekers and refugees to experience gentle drama, bonding games, mindful movement, form friendships and build communication.
These activities will continue and scaled down activities are expected to resume again next year.

Financial review
The net expenditure for the year was £15,060, including net expenditure of £1,358 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £13,702 on restricted funds after transfers.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £39,182.
Our aim is to ensure we maintain designated reserves at the equivalent of 3 months non-salary core costs plus 1 month salary costs, plus 2% on the total of these to reflect possible inflationary rises; an amount that would be paid as statutory redundancy pay at the end of the financial year; and an amount to top up pay to staff's full salary should they take 9 months maternity leave, or paternity leave. Much of our operational spend is secured from grants which make up our restricted funds (for example the majority of staff salaries and project costs). The trustees recognise that any shortfall in funding for salaries and activities funded by restricted funds could mean that activities and expenditure are reduced or stopped should such circumstances arise.
Approved by the board of trustees on 21 March 2023

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 October 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 14.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
