DU DANCE (NI)
DIRECTORS. REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Achlevemènts and performance
DU Dance (Nl) has formulated its approach into four separate but interconnected programmes of work using the
following generic titles..
Crosslng the Dlvlde focuses on cross-community work using dance with its physical, emotional, and cognitive
demands as a tool to provide people with a safe environment to let go of fears and prejudices and bejin to have
contact with each other Ihat is based on our common humanity. This approach has been successfully used in
many different contexts, including those where participants are experiencing inter- community conflict.
Closlng the Gap focuses on inter-g8nerational work bringing people of different generations together.
Historically, dance has been a social gatherer with people of all ages and both genders, Currently however, there
are few situations that bring people of different ages together. With advancements in digital technology and the
radical change in forms of communication, the gap be￿een the generations has increased. Closing the Gap
seeks to address this lack of connection and to challenge preconceived attitudes that obstruct integration and
increase isolation.
Bulldlng Brldges benefits young people who are socially segregated or marginalised due to their cultural
identity, social andlor behavioural difficulties, needs or physical disability. These young people are often excluded
from full participation in society by the organisation of both our social and physical environment. The programme
seeks to build connections betr￿een different groups, to celebrate difference, engender a change in attitude and
facilitate a process of integration into the community.
Opening the Spectrum focuses on broadenlng horizons and opening opportunities. It includes anything from
on&off workshops, summer schemes. performances, festivals, or longer projects of an ongoing basis. The
programme includes work outside of Northern Ireland, undertaken only if there is a social or developmental aim
that fits into the framework of the company's mission statement. Programmes of work delivered internationally
have resulted in the development of ongoing partnerships with local development organisations.
Projects (dellvered in full or part In 20221231 Include:

participants at a screening in August and to an invited audience in September.
With Barnardo's Nl, the company then produced a schools pack that includes USB'S of the films created
plus suggested lesson plans and resources. The pack went out to all Post Primary and Primary schools

£174,413 resulting in a net increase in funds of £11,839. Surplus in the year attributable to unrestricted funds
was £5,342 giving a balance at the year end of £15,380 within unrestricted reserves.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestrict8d funds which have not been designated for a specrfic use should be
maintained at a level equivalent to between two to three month's core operating expenditure. The directors
consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in furKling, they will be able
to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways In which additional funds may be
raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The directors have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in
place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost conventlon. The principal accounting
policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Golng concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectatlon that the charity

estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experien￿ 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 where the revision affects cnly that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future
periods.
