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.

COMPANY INFORMATION

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

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, to advance education by encouraging the understanding and appreciation of the performing arts, particularly the art of dance, and to promote equality and diversity by promoting activities to foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds.

POLICY FOR OBJECTS

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. The review 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).

TRUSTEES' REPORT

Nationally

We had another great year supporting diversity and inclusion at 20 public festival/events across the Liverpool and Bristol regions, including Black History Month, Diwali, St Patrick's Day, Lunar New year.

We were invited to present at Arts For Social Change online conference by Collective Encounters' Centre for Excellence in Participatory Theatre.

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 Oye, Diverse Artists Network, 4Wings, Trinity Community Arts, 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 arts-based charity, we are particularly successful in this area and see this as core in managing our sustainability.

Grants in 2024-25 included core funding from the Arts Council England, as well as multiple grants including Eleanor Rathbone Charitable Trust, Garfield Weston Foundation, Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services, South Gloucestershire Council , Kingswood Town Council, John Moores Foundation, National Lottery Awards For All, Community Foundation Merseyside, PH Holt Foundation and Quartet Community Foundation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The results for the year and the charity's position at 31 March 2025 are shown in the attached financial statements. Total incoming resources were £192,623 (2024 £189,053) and total resources expended were £204,670 (2024 £250,883) resulting in net outgoing resources for the year of £12,047 (2024 net outgoing resources £61,830). Net movements on funds were £12,824 net outgoing resources on the unrestricted funds (2024 £26,005 net outgoing) and £777 net incoming resources on the restricted funds (2024 £35,825 net outgoing). Total funds on the Balance Sheet at 31 March 2025 were £79,107 (2024 £91,154), being £52,000 designated funds (2024 £70,852), £6,047 general unrestricted funds (2024 £19) and restricted funds of £21,060 (2024 £20,283).

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 (currently £62,500) 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.

page 8

Movema

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/03/2025

TRUSTEES' REPORT

The free reserves, that is those reserves that are not tied up in restricted or designated funds or tangible fixed assets are £6,028. The board monitor and review reserves in line with activity continuously. Designated reserves are £52,000 and total unrestricted funds are £58,047.

This policy from our research 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 involves; applying to trusts and foundations, applying for commission opportunities and working with partners to develop meaningful programmes where our objectives align.

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.

page 9

Movema

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/03/2025

TRUSTEES' REPORT

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.

12. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, which are described in note 1, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

There are no critical accounting estimates or judgements in these accounts.
