Additional information
Statement of directors' responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these accounts, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Small company provisions This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Linden Dance Company CIC is a Birmingham-based contemporary / Afro-fusion dance company creating high-quality professional performance and participatory activity for children, young people and communities. During the year ended 31st October 2025, the company created, developed and toured performance work including CAGED and UNBOXED, delivering performances in schools, theatres, festivals and community settings in Birmingham, the Black Country and across the UK. Alongside professional touring, the company delivered workshops, co-creation projects, residencies and youth development activity designed to improve confidence, creativity, wellbeing and access to the arts. The company’s work particularly benefited children and young people, including those who may face financial, geographic or social barriers to accessing high-quality dance. Linden also continued to invest in its community strand Linden Youth, providing regular training, mentoring and performance opportunities for young people aged 10–22. Through this work, participants developed dance skills, creative confidence, teamwork and pathways into further training and employment in the arts. The company’s activity benefited the community by: - increasing access to high-quality arts experiences; - supporting physical and mental wellbeing through dance and creativity; -creating inclusive spaces for self-expression, connection and belonging; - bringing communities together through performances, workshops and co-created projects; - raising aspirations for children and young people by providing visible artistic role models and progression routes. The company also worked in partnership with schools, arts organisations and community groups to ensure that its activity was responsive to local need and reached diverse communities, including those in areas of lower cultural engagement.
The company’s stakeholders include children and young people, schools, teachers, parents and carers, community participants, partner organisations, artists, audience members and funders. Stakeholders were consulted through verbal feedback, post-session and post-performance discussions, teacher and partner feedback, participant reflection, audience responses, surveys, social media engagement and ongoing conversations with schools and partner organisations. The company used this feedback to: - adapt workshop content and delivery methods to better meet participant needs; - improve accessibility and inclusion within sessions and performances; - strengthen safeguarding and wellbeing approaches; - develop future projects in response to issues identified by young people and communities; - refine touring, participation and partnership models to ensure activity remained relevant, high-quality and community-focused. Feedback consistently showed that participants valued the company’s inclusive approach, high artistic standards and the positive effect of dance activity on confidence, wellbeing and aspiration. This has informed the continued development of the company’s youth, schools and community programmes.
