# Fluid Mo)on Theatre Company (A company limited by guarantee) Report and Financial Statements From 1st April 2021 Period Start Date to 31st March 2022 Period End Date Charity Number: 1192793 Company Number: 07227917 1 Doc ID: 315892679fbfb619223fc6856ecb9b9576d05fc3 ## **Report from the Chair of Trustees** The fallout from the pandemic has had a devasta)ng effect on mental health across the country making the work of Fluid Mo)on even more important. I was therefore delighted to see the impact that the Recovery Project had, with young people feeling the posi)ve benefits of the work and being empowered to find the words to express themselves. Similarly, the Gathering Project enabled communi)es to come together aUer being forced apart for nearly a year. Fluid Mo)on con)nues to expand, with the success of the Take Ten performance piece leading to a Na)onal tour which, I am sure, will be the first of many. All in the Mind con)nues to be successful, with audiences for the fes)val growing and the company becoming more ambi)ous in the programming. With many arts organisa)ons struggling to recover aUer the pandemic, I am proud of the work Fluid Mo)on have done and am excited to see what the future holds as the company con)nues to grow in reach and ambi)on. Annabel Cook ## **Objec5ves and Ac5vi5es** ## **The objects for which the Company is established are** : To advance the arts for the public benefit by the promo)on in par)cular, but not exclusively, of the art of drama. ## **About the company:** ‘We are Fluid Mo)on. We use theatre to create happy brains.’ We are facilitators of lightbulb moments, unforgeYable experiences that nurture and support people’s mental health. We push the boundaries of how theatre can help make happier brains. We make performances and deliver projects for communi)es and with them, using their own lives as inspira)on. We want as many people as possible to experience the power of theatre and to be wowed by its impact on their wellbeing. 2 Doc ID: 315892679fbfb619223fc6856ecb9b9576d05fc3 Fluid Mo)on does this through a crea)ve engagement and touring programme, built around one overarching theme connected to mental health, culmina)ng in the **All in the Mind Fes5val** . The aims, objec)ves and ac)vi)es of the charity are reviewed annually within the staff team and with trustees and achievements and learning are assessed and evaluated. This helps inform future plans. When reviewing the aims and objec)ves of the charity, and in planning future ac)vi)es, the trustees have complied with the duty in sec)on 17 of the Chari)es Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission ## **Achievements and Performance** Fluid Mo)on successfully delivered Year one, The Resilience Programme, of our brand new three year plan in the shadow of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The Resilience Programme was designed to respond to the challenges people faced as a result of the Pandemic. The programme was divided into three parts and delivered across the year. ## **Part 1** ‘The Recovery Project’ uses theatre to aid the recovery of young people’s mental health. The project was delivered in secondary schools across the south east of England from April 2021 to July 2021. The project worked with 280 young people across five secondary schools. Each school received four prac)cal, three hour, theatre based workshops, all Covid-19 safe and delivered by specialist youth arts prac))oners. The specific workshop themes were Isola)on, Loss, Coping and Emergence and the focus was to support the rebuilding of friendships and social engagement following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. We know the project gave many young people the opportunity to stop, reflect and process their thoughts and feelings in rela)on to their experiences of Covid-19 and the project had an important role in providing schools with data to use in highligh)ng and dealing with mild and moderate mental health problems before they were exacerbated. Data collected showed that on average at the project end only 1 in 5 young people showed levels of low wellbeing, compared to 1 in 3 at the project start showing our interven)on had a posi)ve increase on young people’s wellbeing. Addi)onally 85% of young people said the project had a posi)ve impact on their mental health and 77% said they now feel more able to understand and process their feelings, anxie)es, worries and ac)ons. 3 Doc ID: 315892679fbfb619223fc6856ecb9b9576d05fc3 We conducted a case study of a student in Year 8 who took part in the project. They stated that the project had helped them understand how they were feeling, commen)ng: ‘some)mes you don't actually realise how you are feeling. You don’t know because you can’t put it into words and some)mes I will be like “I am fine” but I am not fine but I don't know how to tell people. This has just kinda given me the words and the descrip)on and how I can show people that I am not actually fine.’ We asked the student if they had been given any opportunity to process their thoughts and feelings or if this project was the first )me she had been able to do that. They replied: ‘This is kind of the first )me, cos I think the only other )me was when I was at my house and I had just lost someone and I was like, I just cried for like four hours straight and I was like I don't know how to talk about this, how do I talk about this? And now I am actually able to talk about this’. ‘The Gathering Project’ is a crea)ve community programme designed to respond to societal challenges arising from Covid-19. The project aimed to bring communi)es back together through theatre to promote community cohesion, resilience and posi)ve health and wellbeing. The project began in May 2021 and finished in March 2022 and worked with 149 adults in six community groups across four Hampshire loca)ons, Basingstoke, Eastleigh, Gosport and the New Forest. The project had a posi)ve impact on the majority of the par)cipants taking part and levels of wellbeing amongst the par)cipants rose as a result. Data showed the project gave many adults the opportunity to stop, reflect and process their thoughts and feelings in rela)on to their experiences of Covid-19 and the project had an important role in suppor)ng their wellbeing during a challenging )me. At the project end only 1 in 13 adults showed levels of low wellbeing, compared to 1 in 2 before the project started. One adult said: ‘I needed to do this because I thought that there was nothing leU to help me anymore. I have done this today and even though it feels scary at )mes and theatre isn't my thing at all, I am able to see some sort of clear path through the mist.’ ## **Part 2** Fluid Mo)on has created auto/biographical performance since our forma)on in 2010. Between May and August 2021 we created two new pieces of outdoor performance. These were developed using the ideas, responses and stories gathered from par)cipants during part one during delivery of The Recovery Project and The Gathering Project. The first piece ‘Listen Up!’ is a sound installa)on made up of five large wooden structures with speakers embedded in them that play the voices and lived experiences of six young people who took part in the Recovery Project. The audio descrip)ons reflect how Covid-19 impacted the lives of these young people 4 Doc ID: 315892679fbfb619223fc6856ecb9b9576d05fc3 and includes some of their darkest moments as well as their aspira)ons and hopes for the future. The second piece ‘Take Ten’ was made in collabora)on with Lorna Rees of Gobbledegook Theatre and is a performance installa)on made up of three, colourful swing chairs that encourage audiences to take a moment for themselves to stop and take no)ce. Our performers, the ‘Swing Supervisors’, get people to relax in the swing chairs whilst listening to an audio soundscape designed to slow them down. One audience member said: ‘Even amongst the sounds around us, you could let yourself relax into the swinging and breathing. I felt myself relax and stop the thousand thoughts whirling around for a moment’. We successfully premiered ‘Listen Up!’ and ‘Take Ten’ at our All in the Mind Fes)val on 11th September 2021 and then embarked on an eight day tour of East Durham in March 2022, performing in some of England’s most deprived areas. Audiences for both pieces reached an audience of around 500 people. ‘Take Ten’ will go on Fluid Mo)on’s first na)onal tour in April 2022 including dates in Worcester, Devizes, Stoke-on-Trent, Liverpool and Grimsby. ## **Part 3** All in the Mind is the leading outdoor mental health arts fes)val in the UK. The fes)val is a free annual one-day event offering a broad range of music, dance, spoken word and theatre set within the water meadows of the River Loddon in Basingstoke. This family friendly fes)val inspires and delights audiences of all ages offering mul)ple ways to have your mind blown! The All in the Mind Fes)val exists as a plaoorm to celebrate the power of the arts in improving mental health. It gives ar)sts a safe and suppor)ve plaoorm to try out new ideas, share their work and be heard. It makes connec)ons, bringing individuals, families and communi)es together to take part in something collec)vely. It inspires people, giving them the opportunity to use the arts in their own lives. The All in the Mind Fes)val 2021 took place on Saturday 11th September from 11am - 6pm, with 42 ar)sts performing across eight genres. Total audiences on the day were 4174, a 113% increase in foooall from 2019, our 2020 fes)val was online due to Covid-19. We live streamed the fes)val for the first )me on our website and Facebook page, giving more people the chance to engage. Feedback was hugely posi)ve, 86% of audiences said they would be ‘extremely likely’ to recommend the fes)val to a friend and 97% ra)ng fes)val quality either ‘good’ or ‘very good’. ## **Financial Review** 5 Doc ID: 315892679fbfb619223fc6856ecb9b9576d05fc3 ## **Reserves** It is the policy of Fluid Mo)on Theatre to maintain free reserves at a level which balances our objec)ves to develop and support services with our need to remain financially stable. The Trustees agree and will work towards acquiring a minimum level of free reserves equa)ng to at least four (4) months of unrestricted expenditure which is considered sufficient to cover management, administra)on and support costs and to respond to emergency needs which arise from )me to )me. In addi)on, there is also a need to designate certain sums from free reserves for an)cipated expenditure in the short to medium term. ## **Amount of Reserves Held** As at 31st March 2022 unrestricted reserves stood at £41,957 of which £27,339 is held as designated by the trustees in accordance with the policy above. Where grants are received in respect of a specified project, all income and related expenditure is treated as part of restricted reserves. The accumulated restricted reserves at the balance sheet date were £133,163 At the point of wri)ng this report there are no uncertain)es about the charity con)nuing as a going concern. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## **Governing Document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and cons)tutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** Trustees are recruited through an open call out to ensure that we reach a wide and diverse audience. Applicants have to formally apply by either wriYen or video applica)on together with a curriculum vitae. Applicants are selected in conjunc)on with the aims of the charity and their suitability to fit the roles that we require to be filled.
