What Next 11th June

Surveys and recordings mentioned;

People in the UK theatre industry: wondering how you can amplify Black voices in this moment? Inc Arts is gathering evidence for how Black, Asian and ethnically diverse workers in the arts are being affected by Covid. This snap survey takes 4 minutes and will provide valuable data as a case is made direct to DCMS and Treasury.

11:24:48 From Marina Norris to Louise Blackwell (Privately) :
Reckon we should allow 15 minutes for questions - what do you think?

11:38:18 From anne-marie : Is there a standard formula for
calculating Working From Home expenses?
11:38:27 From Belltree Music Therapy CIC : Me too
11:38:42 From abigail : It implies that evidencing environmental
questions are included in a drop down menu. Is there any more info
or advice you can give?
11:38:44 From Karen Poley : Question around management or audited
accounts?
11:39:07 From Lesley Wood : Question about cashflow and reserves
11:40:03 From chris morrison : Should we include a bounceback loan
in the cash flow and the bank balance ?
11:41:19 From Belltree Music Therapy CIC : There is a YES/NO
question about whether we expect growth this year? This is hard to
answer as it is likely to depend on getting this grant
11:42:23 From Nicky Crabb - Little Green Pig : 2 questions: 1.
Cashflow - April and May already gone, still need to input them? 2.
Can staff salaries count as fixed costs or not?
11:42:28 From Lelia Greci : @anne-marie: my understanding is that
you can either calculate real expenses, or use the £6/week figure
without receipts (from MoneySavingExpert).
11:43:25 From Belltree Music Therapy CIC : Does the question about
growth relate to an increased turnover? or just some new ways of
working.
11:44:49 From Marina Norris : Answer to Nicky - Complete the whole
year on cashflow. Salaries don’t count as fixed costs.
11:44:49 From Anna Moulson : Can you provide quotes and links to
support your points?
11:45:14 From Laura : Hi all - some headlines from a report
produced by Dr Josh Siepel at University of Sussex at the Creative
Industries Policy and Evidence Centre
11:45:32 From Belltree Music Therapy CIC : Do core staff costs
count as fixed costs?
11:45:49 From Marina Norris : No core staff do not count as fixed
costs I’m afraid
11:48:28 From ddark : sorry my washing machine just blew up so I
have to leave the meeting
11:48:57 From Anna Moulson to Marina Norris (Privately) : Marina,
Can we put in our wage but not the freeelance and staff wages we
employ?
11:49:21 From Anna Moulson to Marina Norris (Privately) : As core
costs
11:49:30 From Marina Norris to Anna Moulson (Privately) : Hi Anna,
sorry do you want to clarify. Are you applying as a sole trader?
11:49:36 From Anna Moulson to Marina Norris (Privately) : I am
11:49:56 From Belltree Music Therapy CIC : The past year has had a
much higher income than the previous year. Should I submit an excel
summary of the past year as well as / instead of the formal accounts
from 2018-19?
11:50:37 From Kyla Booth-Lucking : I have to hop off to sort out
‘home school’ - thanks for the info

12:00:17 From abigail : Thanks all!
12:00:18 From Elena Italia - Brighton Artists Network : This is
really amazing, thank you so much Richard for your presentation and
Marina and Louise for organising this. Not a question but I just
wanted to make a point, in case any of you are reporting back to
B&HCC that the form and criteria are not hugely suitable for
individual artists who do nonetheless really support the local
creative economy? I do totally appreciate this is already a really
amazing thing they’re doing, I just wanted to ask how they might
consider supporting individual artists through this period?
12:00:18 From Anna Moulson MV & E.P.I.C. : Thank you this is
appreciated
