**THE WALL TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2023** 

## **MISSION STATEMENT** 

**To enable exceptionally talented students of the performing arts to realise their potential.** 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Charity was constituted by Trust Deed on 4 February 1985 and registered with the Charity Commission under Charity Number 291535. Originally named The Charles Wall Charitable Trust, it was changed to The Wall Trust in November 1990. 

There are no employees and the Secretary and Trustees carry out the administration. As part of our internal controls two Trustees are required to approve any payment before it is made. 

## **Risk Management** 

At the time of the production of the financial accounts, the Trustees monitor the major risk inherent in the policy of awarding Wall Scholarships for the duration of a Wall Scholar’s course, usually three years.  This risk is largely mitigated by maintaining a sizable investment portfolio which can be used to fund Wall Scholarships in the event that no other funds are available to cover these financial commitments. 

## **Governance Selection Methods** 

The Patron, President, Vice Presidents and Trustees are selected upon recommendation from the Trustees who have served during the year.  The Trustees keep the matter of succession under review on a continuing basis. 

## **Public Benefit, Charitable Objectives, Aims and Policy** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities in accordance with our Mission Statement, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. 

Without the assistance of The Wall Trust some exceptionally talented performing artists might not have been afforded the opportunity to graduate and might not be seen by the public on stage, on concert platforms, in films, on television and radio. 

## **Reporting Serious Incidents** 

The Trustees can confirm that there have been no 'serious incidents' to report in the year to 31 July 2023 as defined by the Charity Commission in their Guidance for Trustees issued 1 March 2012 and as updated 3 May 2018.

**THE WALL TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2023** 

## **Objectives** 

The general objectives of the charity, as set out in the Trust Deed, have been applied by the Trustees, in order to support excellence in the Performing Arts.  This is achieved primarily by granting Wall Scholarships to exceptionally talented students who have inadequate funds to further their training. 

These are the establishments where The Wall Trust supported one or more students in the academic year 2022/23: 

|Dance|Central School of Ballet, London|
|---|---|
|Drama|Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, London|
|Music|Royal College of Music, London|
|Musical Theatre|London Studio Centre, London|



19 Wall Scholars were supported during the academic year 2022-23 (21 during the previous academic year 2021-22): 

6 in Dance 

5 in Drama 2 in Music 6 in Musical Theatre 

Payments are made direct to the various establishments and all scholarship applications have to be proposed by the establishments. 

Each establishment nominates students on two criteria – outstanding talent and financial need.  The Trustees bear the ultimate responsibility for the selection of new Wall Scholars.  If a student is awarded a Wall Scholarship, it is given with a financial commitment for the duration of their course which is guaranteed providing they continue to progress.  The Trustees monitor the progress of Wall Scholars throughout their training through attending performances in which Wall Scholars are involved and through liaison with the relevant establishments. 

Great importance is attached by the Trustees to the monitoring of Wall Scholars throughout their training and whenever possible after graduation. 

The Wall Trust has an Equal Opportunities Policy for all Wall Scholars irrespective of their gender, gender identity, marital status, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, involuntary personal attributes, circumstances of birth, upbringing or social class. 

While The Wall Trust currently only supports students training in the performing arts it has, in the past, supported students training in Ice Dance, Theatre Design and Tennis.

## **News of Wall Scholars Receiving Support in 2022/23** 

This year all courses were finally back to pre-pandemic schedules though with a backlog of graduates pursuing future career opportunities in a challenging market.  What follows is a summary of some of the main productions and developments over the academic year. 

## **Central School of Ballet** 

Ballet Central celebrated its 40th anniversary this year.  Highlights included its winter showcase featuring 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students and also the summer showcase.  The summer event was staged over four days at RCM’s Britten theatre, followed by a tour.  Third year students **Ellie Benson** and **Xavier Adriambolonaro-Sotiya** performed in both showcases. For her graduation solo Ellie performed a neo-classical excerpt from Scheherazade by Alonzo King, winning a first class degree; Xavier went on to pursue his professional career with the New Adventures Company and a role in Matthew Bourne’s production of Scissorhands. 

Highlights for 1st year students **Amy Crawford** and **George Stevens** included exploring new styles of dance such as Flamenco and Martha Graham contemporary technique; for 2nd year students **Lauren Beharie** and **Ross Black** , it was the rehearsal process leading up to the showcase performances. 

## **London Studio Centre** 

**Bethany Layton** took part in a show called _Gettin’ Jiggy_ at the Artsdepot, and Bethany and **Cameron Gabriel** both performed with the Seedtime Music Theatre Company at the Pleasance Theatre in a selection of pieces by various choreographers.

In the early autumn, **Kerill Kelly** , a 2022 RADA graduate, performed in _Vincent In Brixton_ by Nicholas Wright in his last appearance during his Covid extended course, and **Tawana Dungembira** , a graduate of the same year, appeared in _The Effect_ by Lucy Prebble. Third year students, **Stefan Brennan-Healey** playing the double role of the Duke of Orsino and an officer, and **Charlotte Delima** cast as Maria, were in _Twelfth Night_ , a Shakespeare for Young Audiences production visiting twelve schools in Greater London. Both Stefan as Lorin and Charlotte as Nan acted in multiple performances of _Gloria_ by Brandin Jacob-Jenkins, and also worked with the Sondheim Musical Company. In the summer production of _Gaslight_ by Patrick Hamilton, Stefan played the role of Rough and Charlotte was Mrs Mannington. 

Second year student **Freddie MacBruce** played three roles (Egeon, Angelo, Pinch) in the _Comedy of Errors_ ; and **Reece Miller** , also in his second year, appeared as Pericles in Shakespeare’s play.  Both productions were part of the Shakespeare for Young Audiences project.

**Nina Rivas** played the cello in an RCM  concert of ‘Orchestral Masterworks: Spirit of America’, conducted by Wayne Marshall, and again with the RCM Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Stravinsky’s _Petrushka_ and Prokoviev’s 2nd piano concerto with Martyn Brabbins conducting. At the 1901 Arts Club Nina performed works by Latin American women composers with the Venezuelan pianist Clara Rodriguez. In this Nina's final year with the RCM, Nina reached the semi-finals of the BBC’s Young Musician of the Year competition. 

Highlights for **Ivan Lazebnyi** in his second year at RCM, were performing in Beethoven’s 8th symphony and Stravinsky’s Petrushka.

**THE WALL TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2023** 

## **Trustees' Update** 

The trustees have been working hard to ensure the charitable support delivered by the trust during Charles Wall's life would continue and are pleased to report that the same level of support for students has been delivered during this year as in previous years. 

The trust is still in a period of transition which continues to require careful management of the current situation and thoughtful consideration and planning for the next phase.  While the transition is not complete much has been done to prepare for the next phase which we look forward to delivering over the coming years. 

It has been enormously beneficial that the Patron, Vice Presidents, Trustees and Accountants have remained unchanged giving some welcome stability to The Wall Trust during this transitional period. 

The Wall Trust received a substantial bequest from the Estate of Robert Graham Wall, brother of Charles Wall, 

which was gratefully received. 

July 2023 marks the end of the 38th year of The Wall Trust successfully supporting student training in the arts and we look forward carrying on the work. 

## **Financial Review** 

In summary in 2022/23: 

Expenditure on Wall Scholarships totalled £49,000 (£48,000 in 2021/22). 

Voluntary Income was £77,412 (£32,822 in 2021/22). 

Additional Income was £600  (£85 in 2021/22). 

Total funds carried forward were £114,894 (£88,886 in 2021/22) including quoted investments with a market value of £89,448 on 31 July 2023 (£87,465 on 31 July 2022).

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2023** 

## **Outlook** 

The Trustees undertake to: 

• extend our support for exceptionally talented students in the performing arts by endeavouring to appoint new Wall Scholars each academic year; 

- ensure our policy of committing to support our Wall Scholars for the whole of their training at the relevant establishment is not affected by any environmental uncertainties; 

• continue to only accept applications for support through the establishments with whom we have scholarship agreements, as they are best placed to advise the Trustees regarding who are the most deserving and most talented students; 

- uphold our policy of providing funds for Wall Scholars' training only and not living or other expenses; 

- maintain our practice of only paying fees direct to the establishments and not to the students themselves; 

- continue to monitor existing Wall Scholars during their training; 

- do all we can to obtain funding to meet an ever-increasing demand for scholarships; and 

- manage the investments which act as a capital reserve that can be called upon if necessary as well as generating returns to help meet both the Trust's current commitments and those that may be made in the future.

## **THE WALL TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2023** 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees have elected to prepare accounts for each financial period which show a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of that period. 

In preparing accounts giving a true and fair view the Trustees will follow best practice by: 

- selecting suitable accounting policies and applying them consistently; 

- making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

• stating whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures being disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

• preparing the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the charity’s assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and breaches of law and regulations.

## **THE WALL TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2023 which are set out on pages 13 to 19. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to :- 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Charities Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an opinion as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair" view. This report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:- 

- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:- 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
