Additional information
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements 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 financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the financial statements 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 financial statements 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. The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Small Company Rules This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

During its first year of operation, the CIC focused on supporting Deaf and disabled artists and delivering inclusive arts projects with both national and international reach. The company supported a Deaf choreographer fundraiser and produced a large-scale international Deaf and disabled dance exchange project in partnership with South African organisations. This project enabled collaboration between four South African disabled artists and two UK Deaf artists to create a new touring work, which was presented at major festivals in both South Africa (2024 and 2025) and the UK. In addition, the CIC supported individual artists to access funding and professional development opportunities. This included supporting a dance artist in securing funding for a research and development commission and a blind theatre maker in obtaining professional development funding to relaunch their directing practice and expand their professional network. The CIC also contributed to the wider arts sector by providing informal advice and guidance to Deaf and disabled artists, as well as to mainstream arts organisations seeking to improve accessibility and inclusion. During the year, the CIC worked with 12 Deaf and disabled artists, one non-disabled artist, an environmental impact consultant, an independent producer, four artist support workers, and four volunteers. Partnerships included a South African arts venue, a South African disabled arts festival, and three West Midlands-based dance organisations, delivering workshops for both disabled and non-disabled young people. The CIC supported work that reached over 10,000 people through performances and workshops. It helped increase the visibility of high quality disabled-led work in mainstream contexts by presenting at two major dance festivals in Birmingham and London. Overall, the CIC’s activities have supported artistic development, increased access to opportunities for Deaf and disabled artists, and contributed to a more inclusive arts sector.
The CIC engages with stakeholders primarily through ongoing informal consultation. This includes regular discussions with Deaf and disabled artists, collaborators, partner organisations, and participants involved in its projects and workshops. Feedback is gathered through conversations during project delivery, post project reflection, and continued professional relationships. This enables the CIC to respond directly to the needs and experiences of those it supports. This engagement has highlighted the importance of accessible, flexible support for artists and the need to create more inclusive opportunities within mainstream arts environments. As a result, the CIC has shaped its projects and partnerships to better reflect these needs. As the organisation develops, the CIC intends to introduce more formal methods of consultation to further strengthen stakeholder engagement.
Details of directors’ remuneration are fully disclosed within the company’s financial statements. Directors received payment for project-based work, including delivery, budgeting support, and the preparation of reports to funders, in line with agreed project budgets.
