## **Trustee Report**
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31/03/2024.
The ‘Reference and administration details’ set out on page 1 and 2 form part of this report.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and 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).
The Trustees intend that this report also serves as the Statutory Directors' Report.
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated 28 September 2009 and registered as a Charity 6 December 2021. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established objects and powers of the charity, and it is governed under its Articles of Association last dated November 2021.
## **Principal Purpose**
The principal activity of the charity in the year under review was to advance Art and Education and promote Equality and Diversity.
## **Objectives**
The charity's objectives are set out in the company’s Memorandum of Association to:
- advance the arts through the creation and performance of dance or other artistic performances
- advance education by encouraging the understanding and appreciation of the performing arts, particularly the art of dance
- promote equality and diversity by promoting activities to foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds
## **Ensuring our work delivers our aims**
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year, looking at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. It considers the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those people that we are set up to help. The review also helps to ensure that our aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes. As part of this, we consult with service users, staff, volunteers and external partners.
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public Benefit: Running a Charity (PB2)’.

**Movema Annual Report and Financial Statements for year ending 31 March 2024**
## **How our activities deliver public benefit**
Movema connects people and communities, helping nurture a safer and more understanding and tolerant world. Using dance and arts we give value and support to people who are often overlooked or marginalised in society.
## **Achievements and performance**
We delivered across four key workstreams;
- Cultural Communities
- Creative Pathways
- Creative Productions
- Children & Young People
Across all of these, in 2023-24 we worked with over 15,000 community participants and 155 emerging and professional dance practitioners, of whom approximately 56% were from the global majority.
Our work focused on diverse communities including projects for women, families from disadvantaged communities, primary schools, vulnerable migrants and people from refugee backgrounds.
We delivered 120 workshops for children, 83 workshops for families, 223 workshops for adults, 28 performances/ events and 22 training sessions.
Across all our events our combined audiences were approximately 100,000 people.
## **Projects and services**
Some highlights for 2023-24 include:
## _**Liverpool region**_
- In partnership with Cheshire Dance, we completed the second year of the Wildfire Rising programme, a unique development programme for five individual professional artists from diverse ethnic, cultural and artistic backgrounds.
- In partnership with NHS Trust Mersey Care, we continued to develop our 10-year relationship by delivering 2-4 sessions per week at 5 hubs as part of The Life Rooms adult community health services. The Life Rooms provides free courses to increase recognition, understanding and self-management relating to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, psychosis and selfesteem.
- We delivered approximately 20 dance and music workshops as part of music and arts festivals including Mandela 8 and Africa Oyé (curating the Oyé Active Zone for the 15[th] year). These festivals were free and open all ages and backgrounds, providing enriching workshops and performances from the African Diaspora for the wider NW community, improving social cohesion and tolerance.
- We delivered ‘Stronger Together’, a project for women with a particular focus on refugees and vulnerable migrants, funded by the National Lottery’s Awards For All fund and Elizabeth Rathbone Foundation.
- Global Folk brought together 25 professional and community performers to co-create and celebrate diversity in the UK, exploring the rich history of cultures from around the world featuring English, Indian and Ukrainian dance.

**Movema Annual Report and Financial Statements for year ending 31 March 2024**
- Performed at the Eurovision Parade in Liverpool in 2023, featured as a highlighted organisation on the BBC, audiences of 400,000….
- 3 of Movema’s professional artists performed ‘Taking Flight’, an outdoor touring piece based on stories of migration and displacement, as part of the Birkenhead Park 150th anniversary and International Day of Dance.
- Movema hosted masterclasses with leading artists including Hawiyya Dance Company (Arabic Dabke) and Boss Morris (English Folk).
- Lunar New Year events in partnership with Liverpool City Council, (delivered annually for 14 years), with public performances showcasing East and Southeast Asian culture to audiences of around 5000 people.
## _**Bristol region**_
- Throughout the year we provided weekly classes with guest teachers and regular performance opportunities through our ‘World Fusion’ adult community class. Blocks included Afrobeats during Black History Month, Bollywood leading up to Diwali, and Afro Caribbean styles performed as part of ‘All Things Dance’.
- We raised £6,000 to continue running ‘Everybody Dance Now’ for families in Knowle West, a free to access programme including weekly dance and craft activities, attended by over 30 participants aged 0-55years. It included performances at Bristol Museum to celebrate Lunar New Year, and ‘Lights, Lights, Lights’ at Christmas.
- We piloted a programme of after school activities for children and their grown-ups in partnership with Trinity Community Arts in Lawrence Hill, as well as running an Easter school for children from the neighbourhoods around Trinity Community Centre.
- We had another great year supporting diversity and inclusion at a number of festivals. In June we hosted ‘Celebrate with Me’ for the second time, as part of the Bristol Refugee Festival, developing our partnership with The Nest at Page Park, South Gloucestershire Council and South Gloucestershire Race Equality Network (SGREN). The event provided opportunities for resettled communities to make friendships and feel welcomed by local people, including 10 dance and music performances and workshops, with many involving people with lived experience of seeking refuge in the UK. The event was attended by approximately 700 people. In July we performed at St Paul's Carnival and Bristol Pride and in August, ran workshop activities as part of Valley Fest and Forwards Festival.
- Funded by SGREN, we ran a 6-week project focused on South Asian culture in a North Bristol school, which developed into a performance to launch South Gloucestershire Council's 'Tackling Inequalities' plan.
- For the third year, we ran ‘All Things Dance’, a conference and networking event strengthening and providing visibility for unrepresented dance communities in the region. Providing paid opportunities for 30+ contributors and facilitators and building a strong partnership with the Diverse Artists Network (DAN). With attendance of approximately 200 people, the event focused on the needs of the dance community (including discussions around funding, spaces for dance, support for freelance artists) and celebrating world dance with performances of Indian Bollywood and Bharatanatyam, Afro Fusion, Ballet, Belly dance, Native American Hoop Dance, Latin dance, East African and youth dance.
- Building on the success and relevance of Wildfire Rising in NW, we launched the programme in Bristol, recruiting three Associate Artists of the Global Majority, funded by the Art’s Council.

## _**Nationally**_
- We supported 20 public festival/events across the Liverpool and Bristol regions, including Black History Month, Diwali, St Patrick’s Day and St Paul’s Carnival, providing workshops and performances involving 500 performers, employing 25+ artist, with audiences of over 50,000.
- Our work was also recognised through multiple nominations, including shortlisting for the 2023 National Diversity Awards in the Community Award category for Race, Religion and Faith, (as shown on ITV).
## **Partnership working**
Partnership working is fundamental to our ethos, and we collaborate with partners across community, statutory and corporate sectors to maximise the impact of our work. Over the past year we have continued to work closely with a number of partners, including joint project delivery with Milap, Cheshire Dance, Africa Oyé, Diverse Artists Network, Trinity Community Arts, The Bluecoat, and South Gloucestershire Race Equality Network. We look forward to continuing to develop and extend these going forward.
## **Funding**
Grant funding from a range of Trusts, national funders and local authorities remains our primary income stream, although we continue to successfully develop our earned income. For a small artsbased charity, we are particularly successful in this area and see this as core in managing our sustainability.
Grants in 2023-24 included core funding from Foyle Foundation, continuation funding from Arts Council England as well as multiple smaller grants including Elizabeth Rathbone, UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Liverpool City Council, South Gloucestershire Council.
## **Workforce development**
The Executive Team comprises the CEO, Director of Finance and Operations and Director for Bristol (Interim CEO May 2023-May 2024), who oversee, manage and deliver the day-to-day operations of the organisation. Our team comprises practitioners (freelance and employed), administrative and marketing support.
Volunteers continue to be a valuable and important part of our work. Approximately 30 active volunteers have made valuable contributions at festivals, events and across our programmes.
We want to extend our thanks and gratitude to all the staff and volunteers who have shown such commitment and dedication in ensuring that we continue to provide consistent and high-quality services.
## **Equality Diversity and Inclusion**
Movema continues to keep Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at the heart of our organisation, developing the charity as a fair and equitable place to work, volunteer and participate.
As part of our commitment, we hold monthly facilitated conversations and training for staff, volunteers and Trustees, shining a light on issues our communities may experience, and exploring ways to make our programmes and processes more accessible and inclusive.

## **Financial review**
## **Financial summary**
The results for the year and the charity's position on 31 March 2024 are shown in the attached financial statements.
Total incoming resources were £189,053 (2023 £264,695) and total resources expended were £250,883 (2023 £241,161) resulting in net outgoing resources for the year of £61,830 (2023 Incoming resources £23,534).
Net movements on unrestricted funds (including designated) were £26,005 outgoing resources which were funded from the designated reserve (2023 £30,608 net incoming resources) and on restricted funds £35,825 net outgoing resources (2023 £7,074 net outgoing). Total funds on the Balance Sheet on 31 March 2024 were £91,154 (2023 £152,984) being £70,852 designated funds (2023 £96,857), general unrestricted funds £19 (2023 £19) and £20,283 (2023 £56,108) restricted funds.
## **Reserves Policy**
Movema retains a Reserves Policy to; help inform the way we manage our cash, liquid assets and debt, assist when planning and explaining our approach to stakeholders to provide assurances that the charity is well managed and that it has, when appropriate, a strategy for building up reserves; and ensure that our reserves level matches the charity's needs at the time.
Movema will hold reserves of 3.5 months operating costs to provide financial stability and meet potential need such as a potential drop in income, consolidation costs and /or in exceptional circumstances, safely close the activities of the charity taking into account all beneficiaries (including service users and staff). Where reserves are below this level, Movema will actively work to increase these to this level. Where this is the case, the Board will be informed at the earliest opportunity proportionate to any risk.
Following a review the board approved a reduction in the reserves policy, previously set at 4.5 months operating costs, for this financial year. From our research of comparable companies this is in line with good practice and appropriate for a small company with few long-term commitments.
Approval to use these funds must be provided by the Trustees. The Finance subgroup will review the level of reserves quarterly to assess adequacy and make recommendations accordingly to the Board.
## **Fundraising approach**
Movema is committed to adhering to the Code of Fundraising Practice produced by the Fundraising Regulator, which sets out the responsibilities that apply to fundraising carried out by charitable institutions in the UK. Movema follow their four values to ensure our fundraising is; legal, open, honest and respectful.
Our fundraising effort mainly involve; applying to trusts and foundations, applying for commission opportunities and working with partners to develop meaningful programmes where our objectives align.
Page **7** of **24**
**Movema Annual Report and Financial Statements for year ending 31 March 2024**
During the year, we received bid-writing support from LCVS Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services.
We received no complaints relating to fundraising in the financial year.
Movema acknowledge all complaints within five days and respond in full within 20 days. Complaints are dealt with in-line with our Complaints Policy. The most serious complaints are escalated to the CEO or Chair of the Board of Trustees.
## **Statement on going concern**
After reviewing the charity’s forecasts and projections and its reserves, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. The main risk to the organisation’s ability to continue as a going concern is the loss of significant funding. To mitigate this risk, the organisation has implemented an income generation plan which works to diversify our income streams.
Grant income is significant for the organisation and, recognising the often short-term nature of such funding, Movema prepares in advance to secure relevant ongoing grant income. We have a proven track record for excellent service delivery, and a strong relationship with funders. Movema also has increasing success in generating earned income, helping to diversify income. Movema’s structure is designed to accommodate the periods of expansion and contraction that many charities experience over their life cycle. Whilst the strategy is to maintain or grow the levels of service delivery in response to need and demand, were contraction to be required, this can be implemented in such a way that service delivery on secured grants would not be adversely affected, and unrestricted reserves are sufficient to cover any associated costs.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Governing document**
Movema is a company limited by guarantee and charity registered with Charity commission, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 28/09/2009 and amended 03/11/2021.
## **Appointment of Trustees**
Trustees are elected by members of the charity or co-opted and elected at General Meetings. All Trustees are appointed for a term of fixed term of four years and may serve up to a maximum of two consecutive terms.
## **Trustee induction and training**
All new Trustees receive an induction into the work of the charity as well as an introduction into the role of a trustee and its responsibilities. The induction process for new Trustees also includes training and development days. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

**Movema Annual Report and Financial Statements for year ending 31 March 2024**
## **Organisation**
Movema seeks to have a diverse Board of Trustee with a wide range of skills and experience. The maximum number of Trustees is ten and the minimum three. Skills audits of board members are conducted regularly with the outcomes addressed through recruitment and training.
The Board of Trustees normally meets quarterly. In addition, the Board operates the following subgroups; Finance and HR; Business Development and Operational Delivery and Income Generation.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and her 2 Co-Directors are appointed by the Trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the CEO and her coDirectors have delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and service delivery.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and Applicable Law).
Under Company Law the trustees must not approve the financial statements until they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the net incoming or outgoing resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the charities SORP;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Related parties and co-operation with other organisations**
No Trustees receive remuneration for their work as Trustees/Directors with the charity except for one Trustee who received renumeration from Movema in 2023-24 for work over and above the normal and reasonable Trustee duties. This was agreed and authorised under provisions contained within Movema’s governing document.
Dawn Taylor (Trustee and Chair) was contracted, (November 2022 to Jan 2024) to provide line management and supervision for the members of the Executive team on an ongoing basis (with regular review). Since February 2024, Dawn has continued to provide this on a voluntary basis. The decision for a Trustee to do this rather than someone external was due to the need for someone who both understands Movema’s multiple services, is familiar with the work of the organisation and has a good understanding of both Charity good practice and Movema’s HR and financial systems. Dawn recuses herself from all discussions relating to the contract and the Treasurers and CEO monitored the contract in 2023-24, reporting to the Board quarterly.
Any connection between a Trustee or senior manager and a potential employee, supplier or service provider must be disclosed to the full Board of Trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. As part of the recruitment process all Trustees complete Conflict-of-Interest statements. At each Board meeting, all Trustees must declare any changes to their conflicts of interest.
Details of Trustees' expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.
## **Pay policy for senior staff**
The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually, along with that of all employees, and normally increased in accordance with inflation and annual earnings. Pay benchmarking is carried out as part of the recruitment of new posts.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
- An annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces;
- The establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review
- The implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise
The Trustees hold a Risk Register documenting the major risks facing the charity along with mitigating actions. This is reviewed on a regular basis at all subgroup and Board of Trustees meetings.
## **Safeguarding statement**
Movema is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk from harm. The welfare of all children and adults at risk is paramount, and safeguarding is everyone’s business. The Movema Safeguarding policy is in line with the Children Act 1989 and 2004. Section 17 and 47 of the 1989 Act imposed a positive duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
Page **10** of **24**
**Movema Annual Report and Financial Statements for year ending 31 March 2024**
All agencies have a statutory responsibility to safeguard children, young people and adults at risk, who have the right to protection regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, sexuality, or beliefs. Our ‘Safeguarding Policy’ document sets out Movema’s overall approach to protecting children and adults at risk from abuse. Policies are supported by detailed procedures which explain how this policy is to be carried out by the team. A copy of the Safeguarding policy and procedure is made available to all practitioners, staff, volunteers and partners, and a version of the policy and flow charts for reporting a concern or incident is also available on our website.
The report was prepared in accordance with the special provisions within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 24/10/2024.

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **1n. Policy For Preparing Accounts**
The directors believe that the company is experiencing good levels of income growth and that it is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
