## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, incorporated and registered as a charity on 22[nd] September 2020. Its governing document is the Constitution dated 22[nd] September 2020. 

## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees** 

New trustees are nominated on a ‘rolling basis’ by existing trustees and elected by a majority vote at Trustees' Meetings. Recruitment of new trustees is directly informed by a trustees skills audit process which reveals gaps in skills, knowledge & experience needed for the effective governance of the CIO, as well as celebrating the strengths of the existing Board.  This helps direct recruitment processes to target those who can contribute to areas that need strengthening. 

## **Objects and Activities** 

## **Charitable Objects** 

The advancement of education in the arts in particular, but not exclusively theatre through the provision and creation of performances and educational projects for the public benefit. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The charity delivers public benefit using the medium of theatrical performances and workshops for the purposes of education, personal development and wellbeing, as detailed in “Achievements and Performance” below. 

The Trustees are aware of the requirement of public benefit and seek to implement the Charity Commissioners' guidance on public benefit. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

2021-22 saw Can’t Sit Still competently navigate the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic crisis with care & commitment to its beneficiaries, teams and trustees, innovation in its artistic programme and continued development of its organisational infrastructure. 

The charity continued to be bold and ambitious during a year when hope & joy were hard to find, and trauma/trauma recovery was a shared experience across the globe.  We delivered work online, on front doorsteps of houses and in large theatres, targeting young people and their parents & carers, autistic girls and non-binary young people, mothers with new babies and our local community in South Gloucestershire. 

We know that this work would be impossible without the generous support of our funding partners, our venues, partner organisations and individual supporters.  This support has enabled us to continue to stretch our ambitions and increase our reach to those who are often excluded from high quality arts experiences and all the known benefits that the arts bring to health, wellbeing and a unique sense of personal fulfilment. 

Throughout the year we have worked with extraordinary artists and creative facilitators to cocreate our work with our intended audiences and participants.  We are very grateful that they have shared their authenticity and boundless creativity with us to ensure our beneficiaries have the best experiences we can offer, opening up possibilities during a year when inspiration was so badly needed.

## **Challenges & Opportunities 2021-22** 

The Can’t Sit Still team continued to innovate through the ongoing pandemic and stretch creative possibilities.  This year saw the delivery of _What Will George Do?_ , an interactive online offer which went beyond anything that regular streamed content could achieve, by giving young audiences control of the story of George, the naughty dog, from Chris Haughton’s award winning book _Oh No, George!_ We realised our ambition to launch a mid-large scale tour of the stage version of _Oh No, George!_ by working closely with NESTA as a key investor, along with other funding partners.  We also began work on an innovative programme funded by NHS CCG in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire to cocreate a new club for autistic girls and non-binary young people. 

Once again, the team’s knowledge has grown to encompass: 

- the use of new software for the production of artistic products (Eko Studio, used to create _What Will George Do?_ ); 

- navigating a supportive, hands-on commissioning process from The Space  for _What Will George Do?_ ; 

- developing a new funding model through NESTA’s social investment loan; 

- the mid-large scale theatre touring experience. 

The loan, in particular, has demanded a positive attitude to risk from both team and trustees which, at times, was challenging – particularly given the tour launching merely weeks after the peak of Omicron.  The aim of generating unrestricted income through split tickets deals at venues presented a new income generation approach for the charity, the result of which would not be clear until the end of the tour in 22-23.  The experience of taking out the loan to underpin cashflow, specifically during the production phase, has led to improved risk analysis systems being embedded, a greater understanding of the potential of mid-large scale touring and new venue collaborations which can be built on. 

In working with our freelance artists and creative facilitators, the Can’t Sit Still ‘way’ has rippled out beyond our charity into other work people have undertaken since working with us, and we continue to be proud of the impact we have on the wider arts & cultural sector. It is clear, moving forward, that training & mentoring is an area we could develop and grow in the longer term. 

We continue to look forward to growing the Can’t Sit Still family of creative collaborators, funders, investors and donors who share our values of disruptive generosity, stubborn inclusion and radical care for each other, for our work and for the planet.

## **Artistic Programme 2021-2022** 

## **Oh No, George!** 


_Oh No, George!_ is the delightfully playful tale of a dog who wants to be good but just can’t resist temptation. Adapted from the award-winning picture book by Chris Haughton, this brand new show for children aged 3+ (and their grown ups) uses acrobatics, slapstick comedy, Sign Supported English and live music to bring George’s joyful escapades to life. 

In a step change to our previous touring model, George was booked by 15 venues nationally and took to 9 stages playing to 

6,513 audience members before the end of 21-22 financial year. 

## **What Will George Do?** 

We were commissioned by The Space and supported with a creative grant from West Of England Combined Authority and funding from Arts Council England, to create a specially filmed version of the original stage show using Eko Studio software, that allows creators to develop ‘choose your own ending’ experiences. 

With this technology we were able to give audience members control over George’s choices and agency to 


navigate their own way through the story. This was (and remains) freely available to watch via the Can’t Sit Still website. The 5-episode series features integrated British Sign Language and animated captions to bring the story to life for the widest possible audience. To date, _What Will George Do?_ has been watched by over 150k people across the world. 

## **Being Me** 

We secured investment from Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire NHS CCG towards the end of the financial year, to begin work on a new participatory programme, as part of an 11-strong portfolio of organisations in the region. Our project was to research and test two creative clubs for autistic girls and non-binary young people, whether or not they had yet received an autism diagnosis. 

[5] 

Doc ID: ba1064fca1267eca3965ef39fff7725ff77b54dc 




We started this work by researching the need for the clubs with potential participants in two local secondary schools, their teachers and parents. Through this consultation phase we learned more about how the clubs could best serve these young people and their wider circles of support, what the challenges may be and how we could create an offer that was accessible.  This work will roll out as a new offer, inspired by our consultation findings, in South Gloucestershire in 2022-23. 

## **Invisible Thread** 

This participation programme began at the height of the pandemic in the previous financial year and aimed to have a positive impact on maternal mental health and the wellbeing of mothers directly or indirectly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

During 21-22 we concluded the programme with the last stages of our bracelet making activity.  This encouraged mothers to follow video or written instruction and create a simply crafted bracelet.  They were then offered the opportunity to give their bracelet to another mother, or send it to us to distribute and receive one in the post in return. The opportunity to contribute to the project reinforced the invisible thread of support between mothers everywhere. And each bracelet was distributed with a supportive message ‘From One Mother to Another’.

## **A Forgotten Landscape** 

We returned to Severn Beach in South Gloucestershire to conclude a project that had 


begun before the pandemic, and was put on hold because of this. Having experienced the whole world shift throughout three lockdowns, we adapted our existing plans and focussed on working with pupils and staff at Severn Beach Primary school. Our aim was to improve the confidence of the pupils there, which the Headteacher felt had been severely impacted by the pandemic. 

Working with professional artists Matt Pang and Hazel Amderson, pupils in years 3 and 5 imagined, designed and built their own story telling garden in the school grounds, entirely from found materials. The space they created is designed to ignite the children’s capacity and appetite for imaginative play. Drama and story telling techniques were embedded into every session by professional actor and theatre maker Hazel. Matt taught the children how to use simple tools such as hammers, nails and paintbrushes, and then the artists and teachers facilitated the children in bringing 

their vision to life. 

## **Environmental Sustainability** 

The charity continues to take its environmental responsibilities seriously, in line with its core value of radical care for people and the planet.  During the year we appointed Adam McCready as a Trustee to take a lead on environmental responsibility, and ensure that we continue to interrogate our behaviours and organisational culture.  We have published our Environmental Statement on our website to help encourage conversation with partners, funders and stakeholders and, during the year, began to explore tools that may help us to generate environmental impact data to inform our decision making. 

## **Professional Development** 

The charity was a Kickstart Employer this year, working with a 16-24 year old on Universal Credit as part of the DWP Kickstart scheme.  Our employee, Kate, said “Overall working for Can’t Sit Still has been an amazing experience and I will take knowledge I have gained from working with them into the future work I do.” 

## **Governance and Staffing** 

Can’t Sit Still has a part-time staff team of 2 working between them 0.9 FTE.  This small team is enriched by freelancers who join the company to deliver the funded programme of work. During 2021-22 Can’t Sit Still worked with 22 freelancers. 

The 4 trustees of the charity meet quarterly to analyse the financial position of the charity, ensure legal compliance and assess risks and opportunities. Board recruitment is ongoing on a rolling basis and we were pleased to welcome Adam McCready as a new trustee during this year.

## **Funding and Income Generation** 

The charity has an ongoing strategic commitment to diversifying its income streams in order to increase financial sustainability. We have maintained a very high rate of successful funding applications across public and private funds as the team works hard to align the charity’s concerns with suitable funding partners. 

During this year grant funding was secured from 

- NHS CCG 

- DWP (Kickstart) 

- Arts Council England 

- South Gloucestershire Council 

- West of England Combined Authority 

The charity also successfully negotiated an unsecured loan from Arts Culture Finance, via NESTA, along with an additional grant of £10K, and a commission from The Space. 

We have maintained a small number of regular donors over the period and continue to generate earned income through selling tickets and delivering workshops and consultancy expertise. 

## **Financial Review** 

The charity has a surplus of £34,436 on unrestricted funds after allowing for designated funds earmarked for future spending (2021 £29,539). On an ongoing basis, expenditure is limited to available funds for each area of work; therefore the trustees are satisfied that the charity is a going concern, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees have established a policy to provide for any sudden and unexpected loss of income, whereby the unrestricted funds should equal between three and six months of core running costs, which equates to around £6,000-£12,000. At the balance sheet date the free cash reserves amounted to £33,439 (2021 £29,463). Of this, £12,000 has been designated as a Contingency Fund.

## **Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. 

The trustees 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. The trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to the Independent Examination of which the Examiner is unaware. 

The trustees also confirm that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure that they themselves are aware of all relevant financial information and that this information has been communicated to the Examiner. 

The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

I report on the accounts of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation for the period ending 31[st] August 2021 which are set out on pages 11 to 17. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the Charity, 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

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.
