MEMBERSHIP We have seen a plateau in membership over the 2023124 financial year. following a period of declining membership We continue to survey non-renewing members as their memberships lapse to ascertain the main reasons for them letting their membership expire.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), Charities SORP (FRS 102) (Second edition – effective 1 January 2019), and the Companies Act 2006.

One Dance UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 1.2 Company status

The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

1.3 Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern at the time of signing the accounts as:

1.4 Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the Charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

ONE DANCE UK

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Accounting policies (continued)

1.8 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company.

Charitable activities are costs incurred on the company’s operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.

1.9 Intangible fixed assets and amortisation

Intangible assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost net of amortisation and any provision for impairment. Amortisation is charged over a period of five years.

1.10Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised at cost.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating Income and Expenditure Account.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Office equipment – 50% and 33% on cost

1.8 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

27

ONE DANCE UK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued) 1.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.10 Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.11 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 1.12 Financial instruments

The company only 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.13 Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

1.14 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

ONE DANCE UK

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.15 Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty

In the application of the accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgement, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value 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 affected current and future periods.

In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.

Designated funds
Customer Relationship Database (CRM):The Trustees designated in 2021/22 £100,000 of general
funds for the purchase and implementation of a cloud-based CRM system and upgraded website for
membership, events, marketing, donations and reporting. The CRM and website went live during
2023/24 and the designation has now been transferred to the Tangible Fixed Asset fund.
Dance On Toolkit:The Trustees designated in 2021/22 £32,040 to create a ‘Dance On Toolkit’
based on the Dance for Health Links event research sharing to reduce the number of older people
who are not achieving 30 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. The work on this project
has been completed, and the remaining £142 transferred back to general funds.
Fixed Asset FundThis has been created to designated future expenditure on depreciation on tangible
and intangible fixed assets. As there is no likely residual value on any assets, this matches the total
value of fixed assets on the balance sheet.

14. Statement of funds (continued)

Creative Scotland

Creative Scotland provided an Open Project Fund grant to build on the professional development support offered to Scottish dancers, choreographers and dance students. This work has no been completed, and the expenditure for this year is in staff time.

Paul Hamlyn Foundation

One Dance UK was awarded a 5-year grant of £40,000 per year from the Backbone Fund as recognition of the important role that One Dance UK plays in the sector and as marking the establishment of a strategic relationship through which Paul Hamlyn Foundation may seek advice from time to time. The grant started in October 2018 and was not renewed for 2023/24.

Dance Passion

One Dance UK collaborated with BBC Arts a month-long celebration of dance from February 2022, featuring leading names and exciting new talent across television and online on BBC networks, stations, and platforms. One Dance UK and BBC Arts pulled together talent from across all four nations to create five hour-long programmes from four hubs across the UK: Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry, Theatre Royal Plymouth’s TR2, Leeds Northern School of Contemporary Dance, and London’s Sadler’s Wells. Dance Passion 2022 also included thirteen BBC Arts and One Dance UK cocommissioned short films and interactive projects by UK-based professional and community dance companies, independent artists, choreographers, and associated technical partners based in dance education and dance medicine. The expenditure in 2023/24 represents staff time in winding up the project, and some follow up work.
