Comparably in the YE 2023 ACE NPO (public) funding represents 44% of our turnover, contributed income a further 7% and earned income 49%. This demonstrates a continued recovery and rebuild of earned income from our artistic programme post pandemic. 4 Company Registration Number - 07555968 **1927 PRODUCTIONS LIMITED** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **Reserves Policy** Since 2019 we have maintained £108,397 in reserves.

Implementation of our Fundraising Strategy will guide us through our endeavour to diversify our income and procure resource towards our charitable activities, with a specific focus on 1927’s Creative Learning and Talent Development activities where key community located, and social justice focussed activities increase the tangible social benefits and outputs of 1927's work. ## **Risks** A solid organisational structure, strong governance, a leading team, and expertise at all levels ensures risk is managed effectively. We fully consider approaches to risk mitigation, monitoring, and management as part of our ongoing practice. A contingency programme plan and contingency budget scenarios have been prepared; awareness of risks and risk mitigation as part of our on-going practice is imbedded across all activities and a Risk Register is developed on an annual basis and reviewed and monitored by the Trustees. Reserve funds further underpin the organisations capacity to drive forwards with stability and to minimise risk. ## **Equity, Diversity & Inclusion** Equity, inclusion, access & opportunity for all sits at the core of everything we do. We strive for equality, equity and diversity in all areas of our creative programme, operations and reach. In pursuit of this we have implemented a time-bound delivery plan for the year to guide us through a process of implementation, change and improvement to support our development, imbed inclusive practices across the leadership of the organisation and play our part in contributing to a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive arts sector. ## **Safeguarding** 1927 is committed to protecting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults.
