Although I joined the organisation towards the end of the reporting period, I have already seen the extraordinary impact Body Politic has on young people, artists and communities across Oxfordshire. This report demonstrates an organisation that is growing in confidence, ambition and resilience. From securing multi-year investment and strengthening governance, to nurturing future leaders and creating opportunities for young people who may otherwise face barriers to participation, Body Politic continues to deliver exceptional artistic and social impact. I would like to thank my fellow trustees, the staff team, artists, partners and supporters whose commitment has made this work possible. I am excited to support the organisation as it enters its next phase of development. **----- Start of picture text -----**

This year marked our second year as a registered charity and a significant step forward in strengthening both our infrastructure and artistic ambition. Towards the end of the year, we secured our first multiyear funding award from the Oxfordshire Community Foundation, a major milestone that strengthens our operational resilience as we enter year three. This investment provides the organisational stability needed to sustain and grow our programmes, while enabling greater focus on strategic development and artistic leadership. This year also saw the development of a major strategic partnership with the Schwarzman Centre at the University of Oxford. The partnership establishes the Centre as a future presentation partner for new professional work and a coproducer of ambitious artistic exchange activity. Through this relationship, we have developed new collaborations with internationally, nationally and regionally recognised artists and companies, including Lil Buck and ZooNation. These opportunities have helped raise Body Politic’s profile while creating valuable opportunities for learning, inspiration and cultural exchange for artists and young people across Oxfordshire. As an artist-led organisation, this has also been an important year of artistic development. It has enabled Artistic Director Emma-Jane Greig to focus on the creation of _No Place,_ a new dance theatre work that represents an exciting evolution in Body Politic’s artistic journey. As our reputation continues to grow locally and nationally, the development of new professional work sits alongside our commitment to participation, Throughout 2025/26, Body Politic delivered 356 sessions of arts and cultural activity across the city. We engaged 1,581 individual children and young people, who collectively attended 4,248 times and participated in 6,641 hours of creative activity. **We engaged 1,581 individual children and young people, who collectively attended 4,248 times and participated in 6,641 hours of creative activity.** **Josh Tomalin** 5 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** **In October 2025, we welcomed five new artists to our Future Leaders Programme, continuing our commitment to long-term investment in emerging talent.** While the number of individual young people engaged was broadly consistent with the previous year (1,674 in 2024/25), the total number of participation hours increased by almost 30%, from 5,097 to 6,589 hours. This reflects our continued focus on creating meaningful, sustained opportunities for young people to engage with high-quality arts activity, build skills and confidence, and develop lasting connections within their communities. Our Youth Company made significant strides this year, performing at prestigious venues including the Royal Ballet and Opera, Sadler’s Wells East and the Schwarzman Centre. We are proud to provide young dancers with highprofile performance opportunities that raise aspirations, build confidence and support progression into further training, employment and professional artistic careers. development opportunities for artists working in non-traditional dance styles. Through mentoring, professional development, creative space and industry connections, we are creating meaningful progression routes for the next generation of artists and creative leaders while strengthening the wider dance ecology across the region. Investment from Arts Council England also enabled us to lay the foundations for the launch of Body Politic’s first Volunteer Programme, Training Ground, for 14–25-yearolds. Over the course of the next year, we will support 20 young volunteers to contribute more than 600 hours of activity across the organisation. Through training, event delivery and community engagement, participants will develop valuable skills, confidence and experience, helping to address barriers to employment while strengthening pathways into the creative industries. In October 2025, we welcomed five new artists to our Future Leaders Programme, continuing our commitment to long-term investment in emerging talent. Future Leaders remains the only programme of its kind in the South East providing sustained, paid **Sophie Bradbury** 6 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** **Sophie Bradbury** Equity, diversity and representation remain at the heart of our work. We are proud to work with children, young people and artists from communities that remain underrepresented within the cultural sector, particularly those from global majority backgrounds, lower socio-economic communities and those facing multiple barriers to participation. Through long-standing relationships within some of Oxford’s most deprived communities, we continue to create opportunities that are accessible, relevant and reflective of the people we serve. By investing in talent at every stage of the journey, from first engagement through to professional practice, we are creating clear progression routes into dance, leadership and sustainable creative careers. This year, we also welcomed four new trustees to the Board: Shannelle Fergus, Laura Ayode, Hanna Smyth and Lucia Prentice. Bringing expertise across equality, diversity and inclusion, public engagement, safeguarding and education, they have strengthened our governance and helped ensure that our decision-making remains informed, relevant and impactful. Underpinning all of these achievements is our continued commitment to developing talent, improving wellbeing and creating sustainable pathways into the arts. As we enter our third year as a charity, we do so with stronger partnerships, increased organisational resilience and a clear vision for how dance can transform lives, strengthen communities and nurture the creative leaders of the future. None of this incredible work would have been possible without the backing of many in the form of grants, donations, advice, and other invaluable guidance and support. On behalf of my fellow Trustees, I would like to extend our gratitude and deepest thanks to the brilliant staff and freelancers at Body Politic who brought to life this programme of work. It is thanks to the talented people who work for and with Body Politic that we can continue to create opportunities for young people, nurture future artists and leaders, and ensure that dance remains accessible, inclusive and transformative for the communities we serve. **Caron Loudy - Chair of Body Politic** 7 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** **Josh Tomalin** **“** Body Politic are committed to making dance accessible to all young people in Oxfordshire and it has been great to witness the organisation’s journey over the last 10+ years. I look forward to training sessions with their young leaders and young professionals who are always so thoughtful and creative. Working together we can create more inclusive, positive spaces to be physically active and help tackle Oxfordshire’s rising health inequalities. **Hayley Sanders, Active Oxfordshire “** **“** “Teachers and dancers are all so supportive and friendly, they have improved my confidence and dance skills a lot.” **“** 8 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **3/Artistic Director Summary** This year has been both exciting and transformative. As a small artist-led organisation, we have always believed that ambition, quality and community can exist hand in hand. Looking back on the past year, I am incredibly proud of how those values continue to shape everything we do. At a time when many arts organisations are navigating uncertainty, it has felt particularly important to remain focused on people: the young dancers discovering their confidence, the emerging artists finding their voice, and the communities who continue to place their trust in us. Every class, performance, conversation and partnership reminds me why this work matters and why access to high-quality cultural experiences should never be limited by background, geography or circumstance. One of the highlights of the year has been the continued growth of our Future Leaders Programme. What began as a response to the lack of progression routes for artists working in Hip Hop and non-traditional dance styles is becoming something much bigger. We are seeing artists develop confidence, build professional networks and create opportunities not only for themselves, but for others around them. I am immensely proud of the role the programme is beginning to play in strengthening the wider dance sector and ensuring that new voices are represented within it. This year has also marked an important return to my own artistic practice. Thanks to strategic developments within the organisation, I have been able to dedicate time to the creation of No Place, a new dance theatre work that I am excited to bring into the world. As a SouthEast based female artist, this feels particularly meaningful. Returning to the studio has reminded me how important it is that we continue to diversify voices within the sector, champion under-represented art forms and create more sustainable opportunities for artists to build ambitious careers and lasting creative futures. **----- Start of picture text -----**

9 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** **Josh Tomalin** Alongside this, we have developed exciting new partnerships that will shape the future of Body Politic. Our relationship with the Schwarzman Centre, alongside collaborations with artists and organisations from across the UK and beyond, has opened up new possibilities for artistic exchange, presentation and commissioning. These partnerships give me great confidence that Oxford can be a place where world-class dance, bold artistic ideas and emerging talent can thrive together. What excites me most is that we are only just beginning. We have stronger foundations, a growing national profile and an incredible community of young people, artists, staff, volunteers and supporters who share our vision. While the challenges facing the cultural sector remain real, I feel optimistic about the future and the contribution Body Politic can continue to make. The evidence is clear: Body Politic is a necessary organisation, responding to gaps that continue to exist across the cultural landscape and proving what becomes possible when young people are trusted, invested in and empowered to lead. Our work extends far beyond participation statistics; through sustained innovation, advocacy and artistic excellence, we are helping to redefine who culture is for, who gets to shape it and what equitable practice can look like across the sector. Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year. Your belief, generosity and commitment make this work possible. I am proud of what we have achieved together and excited for what comes next. **Emma-Jane Morbey** _Artistic Director_ 10 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** The Trustees now present their report with the financial statements of Body Politic (“the charity”) for the year ending 2026.

Body Politic, prioritises the importance of community - not just in a geographical sense, but as an expansive network of audiences, artists, and collaborators who are united by a shared passion for the arts. Through our touring and established networks, we have cultivated a wider community that embodies a sense of family, mutual respect, and collective value. By placing audiences and communities at the heart of what we do, Body Politic nurtures relationships that not only enrich individual lives but also empower collective growth, ensuring that the impact of our work extends far beyond the stage. ## **Leadership** Driven by a commitment to fostering equal representation, we actively invest in the development of our artistic workforce, delivering transformative career pathways for young artists.

Recognising the need for transformative change, we prioritise innovative collaborations that challenge traditional norms and inspire systemic shifts. By leveraging partnerships across disciplines and sectors, we seek to lead the cultural sector toward greater inclusivity and representation. Our work goes beyond performance; it actively influences the wider dance ecology through the ongoing investment in our flagship training programs. These programs nurture emerging talent while deliberately shifting power to a new generation of hip-hop voices - voices that reflect the diversity, resilience, and creativity of their communities.

Our approach reframes kindness from a passive act to a bold commitment, driving systemic change while nurturing communities that thrive on respect, dignity, and mutual empowerment. 14 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** **Josh Tomalin** **“** Our family life has improved with our child singing, dancing and rehearsing everyday. It gives a joyful vibe to our world. My daughter is currently under assessment for ADHD and has a fantastic time at body politic, starting in the summer for their workshop and now attending weekly lessons. She has made new friends, has become extremely confident and is proud of herself. It brings me so much joy as a parent to see my daughter thrive and i am extremely grateful for body politic for offering us this space with no fee and supporting my daughter not only physically but socially **[“]** and emotionally. My child is more open with others, less shy, more confident about herself, especially when she is on stage during a performance in front of an audience. 15 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **5/Achievements & Performance 25/26** As set out in the charity’s constitution, Body Politic’s objectives are to _**advance education in and increase appreciation and understanding of all forms of the arts including but not limited to, theatre and dance.**_ In planning the work of the Charity, the Trustees take due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit, including the guidance “Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)”. The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity meets that guidance in that it offers its activities to any child or young person and indeed makes every effort to reach out to those families who for economic and/or social reasons find it challenging to provide appropriate activities for their children and young people. The Trustees are happy that participants in the charity’s activities are from a very wide spectrum of social and economic backgrounds, particularly those from marginalised communities, and this is fundamental to improving their wellbeing, skill and aspirations by making them feel valued and included. **Oxford Atelier** 16 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **“** ## **1. Professional Work & Productions** “I greatly enjoyed and benefitted from the R&D Utopias workshop with Body Politic for No Place, and would value continuing and developing the partnership. In February 2026, Emma-Jane’s new dance theatre work, No Place, was presented as a first-look sharing to audiences as part of a local commissioning partnership between Dancin’ Oxford and Pegasus Theatre. As a proud Oxford-based artist, Emma-Jane’s work combines powerful physical storytelling with urgent social themes, creating bold and accessible performances that spark conversation and connect with diverse audiences. No Place marks her third full-length production, following the successful national tours of Father Figurine (2019) and THEM (2023). I left the Work in Progress performance at the Pegasus challenged, moved, and above all excited. The choreography translated ideas and images into a set of extraordinary micro-narratives of painful hope, as the dancers explored fractured community and displacement, while also generating a hugely powerful connection not only between themselves, but also with the audience. The full-length production has since secured a significant commissioning partnership, co-commissioned by the University of Oxford Cultural Programme, Dancin’ Oxford, South East Dance, DanSOX at St Hilda’s College and The Northwall Arts Centre. This support will enable the work to be developed and presented at scale, strengthening opportunities for artistic collaboration, audience engagement and the creation of ambitious new dance theatre from the region. The fierce beauty and obvious authenticity of this project proves the necessity for a contemporary re-imagining of Utopia, enacted as compelling, embodied thinking.” **Wes Williams, Fellow and Tutor in Modern Languages, St Edmund Hall, Oxford** **----- Start of picture text -----**

17 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **2. Creative Learning** ## **Weekly Classes** Body Politic offers 7 weekly classes for C&YP aged 5-25 years across 36 sessions. Crucially, we provide 8 free places each term for C&YP in receipt of free school meals. Many of these participants are identified by Barton Park Primary School and are referred to us for attendance. Throughout 2025/26, Body Politic delivered 356 sessions of arts and cultural activity across the city. We engaged 1,581 individual children and young people, who collectively attended 4,248 times and participated in 6,641 hours of creative activity. While the number of individual young people engaged was broadly consistent with the previous year (1,674 in 2024/25), the total number of participation hours increased by almost 30%, from 5,097 to 6,589 hours. This reflects our continued focus on creating meaningful, sustained opportunities for young people to engage with high-quality arts activity, build skills and confidence, and develop lasting connections within their communities. ## **Schools & Workshops** Over the past year, Body Politic has strengthened its relationships with local primary and secondary schools. We partnered with 19 schools, colleges and educational institutions, delivering 47 sessions that reached 947 children and young people. **“** “Body Politic have been supporting our community through their work in our school for many years and we value our relationship with them highly. Body Politic have always been proactive in promoting access for our most vulnerable children, by seeking children from our school for their bursaries and working with us to ensure that finance is not a barrier to participation. It is fantastic to see so many of our children take part in their classes and benefit from the expert and inspiring tuition and build their self confidence through opportunities to perform their work to an audience.” **Bryony McCraw, Headteacher, Barton Park Primary** 18 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** **Rocio Chacon** ## **3. Talent Development** ## **Future Leaders** Now in its second year, Future Leaders is a year-long paid artist development programme, addressing the lack of support for progression routes for new and emerging artists in non-traditional dance styles. Future Leaders provides new, exciting and sustainable talent pathways for Hip Hop dance in the South East. Over the course of 12 months, we have worked with 5 artists who have each delivered over 150hours of dance provision across the city and South East. Training has also included Trauma informed coaching, safeguarding, choreographic development as well as a wide range of practical work placements cross-sector. **“** “The Future Leaders programme has supported my development in many ways, but most importantly it has helped me build confidence in myself as a dancer, choreographer, and artist... Working with a wide range of creatives and learning about their practices has opened my mind to different approaches to improvisation, choreography, and teaching. It has also helped me understand that if one technique doesn’t resonate with me, it doesn’t make me any less of a dancer—rather, it’s about finding the methods that best support my own voice and work. Having the opportunity to explore that as a creative, in a safe environment, is like gold dust.” **Amelie Meaden, Future Leader 2.0** 19 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** **Heidi Yates, Safeguarding and Welfare Manager, Active Oxfordshire** By providing clear pathways into volunteering, event delivery and cultural leadership, Training Ground represents an important step in Body Politic’s commitment to developing talent, amplifying youth voice ## **4.

We are always so impressed with the young people who come and volunteer; they are professional, excellent communicators and get stuck into the work! I would warmly welcome any opportunity to continue supporting Body Politic’s work and the meaningful projects they develop to help shape, encourage, and inspire the young people they work with.” It is a truly meaningful exchange; our events and workshops are enhanced by the Training Ground volunteers who support audiences and younger participants, and we hope that the Training Ground volunteers are learning and practising new skills to progress them to the next stage of their development. It is such a fantastic scheme, that no-one else is running, and we are proud to be a part of it. We look forward to continuing our work with Body Politic.” **Abie Walton, Participation Manager, NorthWall Arts and Theatre** 20 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **Body Politic YOUTH** Body Politic’s YOUTH Company brings together 20 dedicated dancers aged 15–25, providing advanced training, creative development and meaningful progression opportunities for young people with a passion for dance. Throughout 2025/26, the company continued to develop technical skills, artistic confidence and leadership through a programme of rehearsals, performances and collaborations with leading artists and organisations, including ZooNation, Lil Buck and Boy Blue through YFX Festival activities. Performances at venues including the Royal Ballet and Opera, Sadler’s Wells East and the Schwarzman Centre provided valuable opportunities for participants to experience professional environments, expand their creative networks and take important steps towards further training, employment and careers within the arts. Through these experiences, the YOUTH Company continues to play a vital role in nurturing the next generation of dance talent in Oxfordshire. **“** “ZooNation have been collaborating with Body Politic since 2025 and we hope to continue this successful relationship for many years. We have shared aims in our approach to development programmes for young dancers and creatives, nurturing the next generation of artists and it has been wonderful to work together in the development of the co-production 1776, with the Schwarzman Centre and the Lil Buck Foundation. Body Politic is brilliantly run and it has been a joy to work with Emma-Jane, Rachel and the talented dancers, in creating ground-breaking new work, across continents.” **Annie Taylor-Gooby-Executive Producer, ZooNation Rocio Chacon** 21 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **The Year in Numbers “** **----- Start of picture text -----**

“Body Politic have been a great organisation to partner with – their passion for young people, dance and reducing health inequalities shines through in all that they do. It has been fantastic to be involved in their innovative future leaders programme and see the difference this has made to the young leaders involved as well as the ripple effect across their programmes and communities.” **Suzi Andrews, Public Health, Oxfordshire County Council** **Josh Tomalin** 22 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **Creative Learning Programme Impact** Through our termly evaluation and impact monitoring, we continue to see strong evidence of the positive role dance plays in supporting young people’s physical health, wellbeing and social connection. ## **Physical Activity and Healthy Lifestyles** Body Politic’s programmes encourage regular participation in physical activity, with between 91% and 100% of participants reporting that they complete at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. More than half of participants in some groups reported achieving the recommended 60 minutes or more of daily activity. Alongside increased activity levels, between 66% and 89% of participants reported improvements in their overall fitness, with no participants reporting a negative impact on their physical wellbeing. ## **Confidence and Wellbeing** The positive impact of our programmes on confidence and wellbeing remains consistently high across all age groups. Between 83% and 100% of participants reported improved self-confidence, while a similar proportion reported improvements to their mental health and wellbeing. Participants described feeling: “more confident and happy” “supported, included and confident” “confident and energised” “fulfilling and positive” ## **Social Connection and Belonging** Creating a sense of belonging continues to be one of the strongest outcomes of our work. Across our youth programmes, 100% of participants reported making new friends, with many developing meaningful and lasting connections. Between 89% and 100% of participants reported feeling comfortable within their group and part of a wider community. Young people described Body Politic as: “a small family” “a community with great people who share the same love and passion for dance” “included, supported and welcomed” These findings demonstrate the important role that Body Politic plays in creating safe, inclusive spaces where young people can build confidence, improve their wellbeing, develop healthy lifestyles and form meaningful social connections. **----- Start of picture text -----**

23 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** “I have finally found an inclusive and friendly environment, which made me love dance even more” **“** “We have 3 children who attend classes with Body Politic and all 3 of them love it, even the eldest one, who initially thought it may not be her style of dance. However after observing other classes, she was keen to try it and now loves it! It really is a lovely friendly inclusive environment for all the children and the teachers are so talented and kind and seem to work so hard.” **Josh Tomalin** 24 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **6/Financial Review** ## **Financial position** During 25/26 our income was £159,656 (2024/25: £150,352) and expenditure amount of £168,508 (2024/25:£118,005). This made a deficit of £8,852( 2024/25 Surplus of £32,347) for the year. ## **Principal funding sources** The charity’s activities were previously carried out by Body Politic Dance Limited a, company limited by guarantee . ## **Reserves** The Charity’s total reserves at March 31 2026, were £23,495 (2024/25:£32,347). Of this amount £15,778 equates to the charities restricted fund, £7,717 is held as operational reserves and remaining are available to be used to support any aspect of the Charity’s total expenditure. It is vital that we continue to identify further funding for the ongoing financial health of the Charity over the next year, The operational reserve figure was taken from the charities previous year operational costs and reflects three months operating costs. The Trustees feel, because of the uncertain nature of other individual and grant revenues, that maintaining a target of £12,000 of unrestricted reserves is reasonable. The Trustees will continue to monitor the financial reports produced by the Artistic Director during the year ahead. We will continue to look for more sources of longer term funding to ensure that the Charity can boost its core funding and that the level of the reserves can be rebuilt to one that provides the Artistic Director and her staff team with security in making day to day financial decisions. ## **Future Plans** As a small project-funded charity, Body Politic depends on raising funds on a year on year basis to deliver its programme of activity throughout the year. As we move into 2026/2027, Body Politic is keen to provide financial stability for the charity through receipt of core funding. ## In 2026/27 Body Politic will: - Expand the Future Leaders programme to support more artists in non-traditional dance styles. - Increase free places for children in receipt of free school meals. - Strengthen community engagement by developing additional family and schoolbased arts opportunities. - Publish and embed findings from the University of Oxford impact evaluation to further evidence and enhance public benefit. - Create and present new professional touring work (No Place), with strong cocommissioning partners. 25 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **7/Governance, management & staffing** ## **Governing Documents** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. ## **Appointment of Trustees** Body Politic as a registered charity is governed by a board of trustees.

All trustees have a discussion with the chair, other members of the board and executive team prior to appointment which provides a summary of the charity’s development to date and its current position. The new trustees have an opportunity to discuss the issues that arise and ask any questions. New trustees also receive a written role description, details of principal responsibilities and duties, recent minutes, some historical information and the current business plan, as well as the memorandum and articles of association and most recent accounts. All trustees receive an induction, in-house mentoring and training where necessary. Any trustee who will be in unsupervised contact with young people is required to be checked through the Disclosure and Barring Service. Lauren Kendall officially took up the position of Chair in March 2025 and resigned in March 2026. Following Lauren Kendall’s resignation in March 2026, Caron Loudy was appointed Chair of Trustees. Having joined the Board during the latter part of the financial year, Caron brings extensive experience in arts leadership, participation and cultural partnership working. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Organisation** The Board of Trustees administer the charity. The board meets four times a year. The Artistic Director as Chief Executive Officer directs the strategic development and day-to-day operations of the charity. ## **Key Management Personnel Remuneration** The trustees consider the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer/ Artistic Director as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and in accordance with the Trust’s policy withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises. The pay of the key management personnel is reviewed annually by the trustees to ensure that it is fair and not out of line with similar roles. 27 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** **“** “My 12 year old has found the dance classes inspiring and uplifting and it’s giving her positive body confidence - which gives me as a parent peace of mind.

The board carries out a formal review of the charity’s risk management processes on an annual basis and the charity maintains a risk register which is regularly monitored and reviewed by the board. The key areas of risk where management failure would carry a potential threat to the organisation have been identified as follows: failures in statutory and regulatory compliance regarding the safeguarding of young people, reductions in income generated and failing to respond to changing funding environments, exceeding organisational capacity. The management of risk and the effectiveness of all material internal controls, including operational, financial and compliance controls is ongoing and reviewed and assessed by the senior management team, and is regularly reviewed by the board. **Oxford Atelier** 29 **ANNUAL REPORT 25/26 © BODY POLITIC 2026** ## **Statement of Trustees Responsibility** The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report (incorporating the strategic report and directors’ report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
