BLUE CABIN CIO

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Blue Cabin CIO exists to relieve the needs of care-experienced children and young people anywhere in the UK by influencing policy, carrying out research and providing access to creative experiences, to help them to gain skills, increase in confidence, build stronger relationships and improve their lives for the public benefit.

Significant activities

Within the last 12 months we have worked closely with five local authorities to deliver projects that benefit their care-experienced children and young people. Our financial position remains strong and we now have 2 full time and 4 part time staff members.

In the past 12 months we have engaged with over 165 care experienced children and over 108 supporting adults (including kinship carers, foster carers, birth family members) through our programmes. We have also supported 185 local authority staff through high quality training.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

Our Creative Programmes and Interventions for the year included:

Creative Life Story Work

We've partnered with local authorities and Professor Richard Rose of Therapeutic Life Story Work International to roll out this new way of delivering life story work in three local authority areas in the North East of England. Evaluation by Coram and Ipsos Mori has shown that Creative Life Story Work strengthens relationships between care-experienced children and young people and adults in their lives, and that 85% of local authority staff who responded to a survey thought that it is more effective than traditional life story work.

"The new model has already shown how a more creative approach can encourage young people to explore their emotions, which in turn has a positive impact on their relationships with the adults in their lives." Councillor Gary Haley, Gateshead Council.

Darlington Cool Things

Working with Darlington Virtual School, we've facilitated creative opportunities for care-experienced children aged between two and 16. Blue Cabin's Associate Artists have led opportunities to take part in drama, visual arts and Arts Award activities, and the children and young people and their carers experienced performances by Darlington Hippodrome and Theatre Hullabaloo.

Creative Aid

In December 2022, Blue Cabin and Nepacs were awarded funding by the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver a creative arts programme with care-experienced young men serving sentences at Deerbolt Prison in County Durham. Over three years, Creative Aid will include artist-led workshops and support for participants to achieve an Arts Award accreditation. The project aims to support the young men to build stronger relationships with each other, their families and prison staff, and to give them a better chance of a positive future on release from prison. Participants on the programme will also work towards an Arts Award accreditation.

"...[Art is] helping you talk when no-one else is around. It's an expression in many ways..." Creative Aid participant.

The Studio of the Fostered Heroes

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council commissioned Blue Cabin to respond to an idea put forward by a member of its Children in Care Council, who wanted to raise awareness of what it's like to be in care. The result was The Studio of the Fostered Heroes, a group whose ages ranged from eight to 21 years and who worked with Blue Cabin's professional artists to make a six minute animated film sharing their experiences of being in care. The film was screened to Redcar and Cleveland's staff and elected members and has been watched more than 1,000 times to date.

"I learned a lot about myself during this process. One thing is that no matter how hard it gets I am not alone, and I know other young people in similar situations." Studio of the Fostered Heroes member.

This is the Place

This programme of music for children and young people aged 0 to 17, together with the adults in their lives, takes place at cultural venues in Darlington, giving care-experienced families the opportunity to experience the town's cultural offer together, perhaps for the first time. It includes training for foster carers and Darlington Borough Council staff, allowing them to continue music-making with children at home and outside of the sessions, and children are given a song bag and song book which they can take with them if they transition to a new home.

Artsmark Creative Consultation

Blue Cabin was commissioned to carry out a creative consultation with children and young people in the North East of England, as part of Arts Council England's wider exploration into the potential use of the Artsmark programme in virtual schools. 26 children and young people, who receive support from virtual schools in Darlington, Hartlepool or Redcar and Cleveland, took part, sharing their views on creativity within their virtual school experience.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Through Arts Award we support care-experienced children and young people to achieve a national qualification whilst developing their confidence and skills in creativity, communication and leadership. An Arts Award Discover in a Day pilot project saw children and young people in Darlington and Redcar take part in two days of animation, film-making and painting, with our Associate Artists. A six-week programme is also underway with virtual schools in Redcar and Cleveland.

FUTURE PLANS

Artful Alliance

As a result of this year's Artsmark Creative Consultation, Arts Council England has awarded Blue Cabin funding to deliver a national action-learning programme bringing together Virtual Schools and creative organisations.

Impact framework

We're working with tialt (There is an Alternative) to develop a Blue Cain Impact Framework and to identify appropriate ways to gather evidence of change and outcomes for our participants.

Trauma-informed accreditation

Following completion of Trauma Awareness training with Kazzum Arts, we have developed a timeline to gain accreditation with One Small Thing within the next 12 months and have developed an informal learning network with Unique Voice and Nepacs to support us on this journey.

Experts By Experience

Scoping is underway for the development of a new Experts by Experience group to help inform Blue Cabin's work. We envisage the group will include people care, fostering, adoption and social work.

Volunteer development

We're keen to build on what we learnt from our first volunteer placement and hope to expand Blue Cabin's volunteering offer by bringing on board five more volunteers.

Environmental Working Group

Blue Cabin is continuing to monitor its environmental impact and put in place measures to reduce carbon emissions. A new working group will support this work.

Expansion of Blue Cabin Board of Trustees

Recruitment is planned to further strengthen our Board of Trustees with a new appointment.

Collaboration with Sing Up Foundation

Blue Cabin will work with Sing Up Foundation on a new set of resources to support people running music-making which aims to improve the wellbeing of children and young people.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Organisational structure

Blue Cabin began in 2016 and in July 2021 successfully converted to a Charity Incorporated Organisation. We operate under the Charity Commission’s model constitution.

Currently, there are 6 trustees, including a Chair of the Board. We are constituted to meet a minimum of 4 times per year, and in practice, we have an additional 2 away-days per annum.

The Board already operates a model which includes subgroups and task and finish groups. Currently, we have Safeguarding, Comms, and Investment Principles working groups. These adapt with the company's needs; however, the Investment Principles subcommittee will remain in place to support monitoring the organisation’s progress against stated targets, as will the Safeguarding working group.

Subcommittees meet in advance of the quarterly Board Meetings, and Board representatives in the subcommittees feedback to the Chair and the main Board.

Dealing with conflicts of interest is built into our governing document and each new trustee is supported through an induction process to ensure responsibilities in this area are understood. Trustees must declare the nature and extent of any interest, direct or indirect in a proposed transaction or arrangement with Blue Cabin and they must absent themselves from any discussion or vote pertaining to that matter. Conflicts of Interest are minuted.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Risk management

Blue Cabin maintains an Organisational Risk Register, this is:

-A standing item agenda on the quarterly board meetings

-Discussed on a monthly basis in the Managing Director's 1:1 with the Chair of the Board

Currently the highest rated risk is Local Authority match Income. Local Authority match funding is always present on our risk register and reviewed regularly. We continually mitigate against the potential loss of this funding through: -Having multiple partnerships across several Local Authorities

-Continuing to be strong partners that have excellent relationships with Local Authority staff

-Continuing to evidence the benefits of our work and how they align with Local Authority priorities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BLUE CABIN CIO

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Blue Cabin CIO

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Blue Cabin CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 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 in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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 that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, 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' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting with the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Fixtures and fittings - straight line over 3 years Computer equipment - straight line over 3 years

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

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

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Page 11

BLUE CABIN CIO

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, other loans, and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
