**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

This is the second report for Culture Shift which became a CIO after 10 years of operating as a Community Interest Company. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

At Culture Shift we are passionate about the power of the arts and creativity to transform lives. We believe that in working with people with lived experience, we have the ability to create programmes that are meaningful and have impact. We support marginalised adults, children and young people to achieve their potential through programmes delivered with education, health and community partners. Key themes that underpin our programmes are: 

- **arts and health, supporting people to be creative in their everyday lives and live longer, healthier and happier lives** 

- **careers and skills, raising aspiration, building confidence and skills and making meaningful connections between beneficiaries and local employers/ professionals** 

- **modelling accessibility and inclusivity in relation to creative and cultural activity** 

These activities are based in our charitable aims which are to develop arts and creative activity with and for the community which: 

1. Support socially and economically disadvantaged communities in Sussex in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society. 

2. Promote social inclusion by preventing people from becoming socially excluded and assisting people to integrate into society. 

3. Promote equality and diversity for the public benefit by, for example: (a) advancing education and raising awareness in equality and diversity; (b) promoting activities to foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds; (c) cultivating a sentiment in favour of equality and diversity 

Trustees monitor performance on a quarterly basis and measure this against key performance indicators, budget allocation and spend.  As trustees we have due regard to ensuring that the charity's activities are clearly delivered with public benefit and are in accord with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

## **1. Working with children, young people and schools** 

This year we have continued offering 8-10 week after school creative wellbeing programmes for children and young people in East Sussex schools, with 6 Space to Create programmes delivered in primary and 4 Telling Your Story programmes in Secondary, both funded by BBC Children in Need, with 98 children and young people benefitting. Each course runs over 8-10 weeks offering a safe space for young people to connect with peers, develop creative skills, confidence and self esteem.  They are led by two creative practitioners with experience supporting vulnerable children and young people. Small groups of 8-10 participants and the opportunity to meet weekly continue to offer some children and young people a critical space to connect with peers, share challenges they are dealing with and build confidence and resilience. This has been particularly true post pandemic. 

These term time programmes have been able to reach further through half term workshops and holiday clubs creating ongoing opportunities for children and young people to tap into our work, and for us to engage more with families.  We have been delivering holiday clubs through the Holiday and Food programme (HAF) since 2021 in Robsack Wood and Sidley, two communities where we already deliver our term time activity. Our work in Sidley is delivered through a strong community-based partnership which ensures high levels of attendance for all clubs. We delivered 14 holiday clubs over Xmas, Easter and Summer holidays, ranging from 1-4 days with 728 sessions attended and 9 half term sessions with 130 children attending. 

Running alongside this in school delivery, we offer creative health and wellbeing programmes through our work with Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust on Discovery College. Discovery College is a young person's version of Recovery College, a national initiative that offers peer-led support around mental health recovery. We have been working with Discovery College since 2020 with support from Arts Council England to expand the reach of Discovery College in East Sussex. We have delivered programmes ourselves and introduced new arts partners to deliver activity, with each programme delivered by a creative practitioner, a peer mentor and a Mental Health practitioner. We have been able to offer 3 courses per term in three different locations across East Sussex and a summer holiday course. 

These courses offer a well-supported space for young people experiencing challenging mental health to explore their own creativity and connect with others. Courses have included coding, street art, digital story making, music, visual arts, photography. In addition, we have supported peers in Discovery College to develop and maintain a new website www.sussexdiscoverycollege.org.uk.  We have also supported two Co-production training days for people delivering the programme as well as an annual celebration event.  Over 2021-2022, 105 young people have enrolled across 10 courses with a  further 24 people attending the training.. 

2021 -2022 saw renewed appetite for in person Creative Café careers events from schools and colleges, with 14 events delivered across the year, of which 6 were delivered online.  1015 students attended across Secondary and FE. During the pandemic figures were higher owing to more online events, but these offered limited scope for engagement between professionals and students. Both staff and students have fed back that face-face is preferable, enabling more opportunities to ask questions, get a hands-on taste of each professionals' industry. 

Alongside our Creative Cafe events, we have run many more Micro Café Career events, where a class meets a professional for an hour-long workshop, coupled with accessing filmed interviews and tasks.  This model has been delivered in primary and secondary schools with 707 students participating over 26 sessions. Across the year 82 professionals/employers volunteered their time across these events. We continue to pride ourselves on the opportunities we create for creative and meaningful encounters between young people and professionals. 

" _One student who has suffered a bereavement recently, was really engaged and interested - something I haven't seen for a while. Another commented on how the artist had said 'she was a poet' as a quiet student who loves reading, I could see how much this meant to her even though she was feeling exceptionally low that day. All students really enjoyed the event - access to the arts has been hard due to covid - for a generation who have really suffered it was lovely to see them laughing, thinking, and doing something different. The artists were great role models."_ **Teacher Micro Cafe**

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** 

## **2. Working with young people in Further Education** 

In January 2022 we were given the opportunity to pilot BOBS (Being Our Best Selves) SKILLS in FE colleges in West Sussex, funded through the Catch Up programme. BOBS SKILLS is an adaptation of our BOBS programme, developed for learning disabled adults to support improved physical and mental health and increase resilience. 

Eligible learners needed to be 16-18 and have achieved up to a grade 4 in GCSE English and/or Maths or aged 19-24 with an education, health and care plan (EHCP).  These students needed something innovative and dynamic to support them to re-engage with learning and feel more positive about themselves.  Sessions included physical warmups, group discussions/activity, creative journalling and mind setting exercises (around the themes of focus, positivity, and goal setting). Student, Crawley College: 

_"Is this meant to make us feel good about ourselves? Because that's what it's doing. I don't often feel good about myself."_ 

A summary report was produced for the BOBS Skills pilot which is available to view or download from our website. 

On the basis of the successful pilot, we launched a new programme of delivery for the academic year 2022/2023 with first sessions delivered in October 2022. 

Later in the year we were commissioned by ESTAR to develop the BOBS Skills programme for adults living in temporary accommodation, including members of the refugee community. We delivered a series of 4 weekly sessions, with each session being 2 hours long. Across the 4 weeks there were 5 attendees, with 3 participants attending all of the sessions. 

## **3. Working with learning disabled adults** 

With funding from National Lottery, we launched our BOBS In Sussex programme, focussed on supporting learning disabled adults to improve their health and wellbeing through a creative programme of activity, delivering activity sessions at venues across Sussex, led by our team of BOBS coaches. 

We continued to support the band Delta 7 with funding from Peoples Health Trust, with regular rehearsals and songwriting sessions.  Particular achievements for the band this year included; 

- 

   - performing at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill (May 2022) 

- Hosting and performing 'An Evening With Delta 7' at the Printers Playhouse in Eastbourne (Oct 2022) 

- Releasing a new album of music called 'The Lockdown Sessions', available via our website and digital platforms for download. (Spotify and iTunes) 

We co-produced a short film with our access advisors to promote internet safety for learning disabled adults, commissioned by East Sussex County Council. 

## **4. Working in the wider community** 

Commissioned by East Sussex County Council, we continued to deliver monthly Carers O'Clock sessions for unpaid carers to provide creative respite and support.  These sessions were attended by a total of 55 Carers over this period, with many describing this activity as vital to their mental health and wellbeing.  Carers O'Clock sessions are led by a team of artists, providing opportunities for carers to meet and engage in creative activities together in a safe and supportive environment.  An added bonus is that carers are also able to enjoy a freshly cooked lunch and refreshments. 

_"I look forward to these events every month.  I know that everyone there understands the difficulty of keeping our essential selves from disappearing amongst all the care needs"_ 

We also delivered activity for young carers in partnership with Care For The Carers and Sussex Clubs for Young People, including drama based workshops in school holidays.

**CULTURE SHIFT** 

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** 

In May 2022, the Invisible Sentence play which was created as a result of our partnership with Sussex Prisoner Families was filmed and performed at the Brighton Festival.  It was also featured at the online conference of the Scottish Prison Service. 

## **5. Supporting the sector through consultancy and training** 

Built into our mission and model is the ability to raise funds for the charity through commissioned work that is in line with the charity's objectives. 

For example, we offer training in Disability Awareness and we manage events and projects for others, when they fall within our areas of expertise. 

In this year we delivered Disability Awareness training for staff teams at Chipping Norton Theatre and A New Direction in London. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Culture Shift received revenue of £341,426 throughout the year. Expenditure throughout the year amounted to £310,826 and after deducting this from the income the result was a net surplus/ deficit of £30,600.   As at 31 October 2022 the Charity held total reserves of £230,142 of which £136,300 were unrestricted/designated funds, and £93,842 restricted funds. 

Culture Shift has been successful in generating income from a range of sources (see table below), including national and local agencies, as well as through commissioned services and consultancy activity. 

Culture Shift controls expenditure carefully, with trustees having regular and detailed oversight of core and project budgets cash flow and income generation against projected targets.

## **Reserves policy** 

Like many small charities, Culture Shift has limited opportunities to generate unrestricted income. Through careful budget forecasting, strict management of expenditure and adopting full cost recovery where possible, 

Culture Shift aims to build a reserves fund which will cover 6 months operational costs in the event of the Charity's closure and a free reserves fund to support contingency needs such as IT replacement as well as development funds for piloting new work.

We started the year with reserves at £199,542  and the ensuing accounts and statement of financial activities details level of reserves as at 31st October 2022 at £230,142, of which £93,842 were restricted funds. 

## **Going concern** 

## **Ongoing Viability** 

Culture Shift has proved itself agile and able to mitigate many of the potential impacts of COVID 19. No staff were furloughed and the majority of our programmes continued. Moving forwards, with fundraising proving ever more competitive, Culture Shift is tasked to maintain a diverse range of income, generating both short and longer term funding.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CULTURE SHIFT** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Culture Shift ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

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 as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared 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'. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The functional currency of the charity is pounds sterling and all figures have been rounded to the nearest pound. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

## **Taxation** 

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK Corporation Tax purposes.  Accordingly the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
