Trustees are recruited through an open process. Vacancies are advertised widely, with an emphasis on recruiting from a diverse range of backgrounds to meet the organisation’s skills and knowledge needs. Applications are shortlisted by the Nominations Committee, which comprises the Chair, two trustees and the CEO. Following interview of shortlisted candidates, recommendations for appointment are proposed to the full Board for their consideration and approval. 

On appointment, Trustees receive an induction pack comprising the governing documents, strategic planning documents, corporate policies, and any other relevant materials. They are also provided with up-to-date materials on charity governance, including Charity Commission guidance, the Charity Governance Code.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objects of the CIO are for the benefit of the general public to promote and advance the creative arts in all its forms, in particular but not exclusively by: 

a) Fostering and improving public education, interest, and appreciation in all forms of the creative arts. 

b) Providing a public programme of exhibitions, workshops, performances, and events and encouraging access to the arts for the general public. 

c) Providing or facilitating access to affordable workspace for the production of creative arts to assist and facilitate artists in their work. 

## **STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES** 

A) The creative(s) that Hypha Studios selects for each space deliver a public programme that is of interest to the local community. This can be a workshop, exhibition, or performance. 

B) By working with landlords and councils the Charity places creatives in publicly facing properties which can be in any part of the country, allowing engagement with the arts in areas where there is often very little investment in culture and in spaces which communities are comfortable going into - like former shops. This creates great access for the arts for the general public across Britain, as all the creatives produce events that engage local communities, for free or at low cost. 

C) The Charity secures vacant commercial space and matchmakes local creatives with it to use for free from short term project space to longer. The Charity does not charge anything for use of the spaces - no utilities, rates or rent.

“The response to the company's use of the space has been immense. People who come to the space for their events and youth theatre parents always comment how great it is that they use the space in such a creative way.  There are talks of possibly being able to take the Improv show elsewhere in the area and further.” 

“We have had a great response from IRL audiences regarding the space. Our audiences often comment on how 'lovely' the space is and how we have created a 'warm and caring intimate atmosphere'. Outside of the space, other theatre makers that know us often praise us for the work that we are doing with the space, and think that us working with Hypha is really cool.” 

“Being able to have the space to use for our base is amazing.”

## **MONITORING AND EVALUATION** 

The Charity is monitoring its impact to: 

## ● Understand the different geographical and cultural contexts the Charity works in **.** 

## **.** 

● Understand the need (volume of applicants) for free workspace and the significance of free space to artists (application question: ‘what would having a Hypha Studio mean for your practice’) **.** ● Remain ‘organisationally self-aware’, celebrate and report on artists’ achievements, public engagement, and artists’ career impact. 

- Learn what is working well and grow the organisation responsively. 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees meet regularly to review the financial position and to ensure that effective management and controls are in place. The trustees have assessed the major risks to which Hypha Studios is exposed. In particular, these relate to securing sufficient number of new sites, securing sufficient remuneration for existing and new staff, financial sustainability, and external contractors’ compliance with the Charity’s Service Agreements. 

The Board of Trustees review the charity’s risk register (established June 2022) annually where there are changes, and otherwise annually. Attending to all risk categories (governance, operational, financial, external), They monitor risk status (probability and impact) and take action to manage each risk as appropriate. The Trustees and leadership ensure that Hypha Studios’ operations are protected against significant risk through annual monitoring, action planning and risk assessment procedures. Hypha Studios has Public Liability Insurance cover of up to £10m and a reserves policy that includes a continuation fund of 6 months operating costs. The Board is satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate, or control where possible, Hypha Studios’ exposure to the risks mentioned above. 

## **EXECUTIVE TEAM** 

The CEO shapes Hypha Studios strategic direction and leads the organisation. The CEO formally reports on progress to the full Board every Quarter.  With the money granted to the charity from the Rothschild Foundation, the CEO was able to enlist a Development Manager that worked at the charity for 6 months and in that time created a strategy and a pipeline for delivery. The CEO works closely with the Artist Manager to source sites, manage operations, submit grant applications and grow the charity and its resources. The Non Exec Director helps guide the charity and provides invaluable advice about the direction of the charity’s development and advancement. 

## **GRANT MAKING POLICIES** 

Currently Hypha Studios does not give grants. Should this change in the future a Grant Policy must be approved by the trustees before any funds are granted. 

## **VOLUNTEERS** 

The artists we work with give their expertise and time to help Hypha Studios fulfil their charity's purposes.

## **FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE** 

## **HYPHA 2023/24 FY Results** 

The operating activities during the year produced a surplus of £30k. Total income increased to £169k, £81k higher than the prior year figure of £89k. Total spend on charitable activities, governance and support cost as well as cost of raising funds increased to (£139k) combined, compared to (£97k) in 2023, an increase of (£81k) 

## **Incoming resources:** 

Income for the year totalled £169k (2023: £89k), this is an increase of 91% overall compared to the prior year. This performance was mainly due to an increase in the number of sites acquired in the year driving up contributions towards art projects. Other income amounted to £7k, however there has been a small increase in Grants and donations of £5k, bringing the total for the year to £39k (2023: £34k). 

## **Resources expended:** 

Spend on charitable increased by £19k to £121k (2023: £92k). The biggest area of increase is due to an increase in the level of resource allocated towards the support of the provision of public programmes, which amounted to £84k (2023: £65k), an increase of £19k. 

During the year the charity focused efforts on promoting the work of artists and our programmes, and increased spend on fostering and improving public education and interest by £5k. Spending in this area amounts to £7k (2023: £2k). 

Provision and facilitating of access to affordable space and support for artists whilst on site reduced to £21k (2023: £25k). The Increase in number of sites during the year has meant that more focus has been placed on being able to support artists virtually rather than in person, this model is working efficiently and effectively. 

During the year the charity appointed a fundraiser, to reduce reliance on voluntary contributions and grow grant income. The total spend on raising funds amounted to £12k (2023: £Nil). Elsewhere, cost of Governance and support increased by £11k to £17k (2023: £5k) primarily due to increased requirement for admin support. 

## **Reserves:** 

Overall Reserves for the charity at the end of the period is £43k, this is £29k above the prior year position of £14k. The level of free reserves is £29k above the minimum requirement of £14k set by the Trustees. 

During the year £4k restricted income was received towards the Regent street project. This fund was fully utilised in the year and the balance is now £Nil. 

## **Reserves Policy:** 

Reserves are intended to cover: 

1. Essential activities whilst sourcing income to a maximum of six months budgeted activity. 

2. The costs of dissolution should the charity be unable to continue. It is only to be used in the event of the trustees’ deciding the charity should cease to exist. It will be used to pay notice periods, redundancies, and the expenses of running Hypha Studios until closure of the organisation.

These are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they are received. Included are income from contribution towards art projects, donations, grant funding and interest received during the year from investments, accounted for as restricted or unrestricted-funds. 

## 1.4 Expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.  Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

## (i) Charitable activities 

This comprises all costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. 

## (ii) Governance & support costs 

This comprises all costs incurred by the charity in support of service delivery. 

## (iii) Raising funds 

This comprises all costs incurred by the charity in support of fundraising activities. 

## 1.5 Debtors 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. 

## 1.6 Cash at Bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## 1.7 Creditors & Provisions 

"Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due."
