## **OUR PURPOSES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives**
Interplay exists to enable young people who experience significant communication challenges, social and economic barriers to explore and demonstrate their strengths by creating and experiencing the arts. We aim to give young people disadvantaged by learning disabilities, autism or complex learning needs opportunities to have fun, gain agency and develop tools to exercise power and creativity. We tour sensory theatre for children with learning disabilities to special schools and arts venues nationally promoting the link between artist and audience, and between arts and the senses. Our participation programmes use the arts to build confidence and enjoyment, improve wellbeing and self-efficacy and increase chances of leading a fulfilling life.
## **Artistic Quality**
Interplay creates quality theatre productions that work for young people and adults across the board. The delivery of its core artistic programme allows the organisation to develop its work and implement Interplay’s approach to sensory theatre at a national level.
## **Engagement**
The company works with young people who are marginalised by their disability or social or economic circumstance. Providing young people a space to create and experience art, supports them to experience the world and shape their views to platform their own voice.
## **Organisational Sustainability**
Interplay works within a sustainable financial environment and is committed to environmental sustainability and uses public transport and digital marketing methods as a preference; with more efficient energy use results in enhanced financial resilience.
## **Activities**
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance “public benefit: running a charity (PB2)” at our trustees’ meetings. We seek to promote the above aim by providing our services to those most in need regardless of their financial circumstances.
Interplay works across all definitions of exclusion, to create a theatre that places the audience at the centre of the experience. The company create immersive, sensory and creative environments for stories to unfold. Actors, musicians, dancers and performers interweave their practice across artforms to embed sensory experience into the fabric of the narrative.
From its base in Armley, West Leeds, Interplay has broadened its approach of placing the audience at the heart of the work, by engaging the young people from the local community to create films, theatre and music. Interplay is embedded in the heart of Armley, and the building is home to a large range of creative community groups, and emerging artists who need space to create and grow.

## **Sensory Theatre Tour**
Following the success of the 2024 ‘ **My Life with the Wave** ’ tour Artistic Director Kirsty Pennycook devised a new show **DRIFT** , set in a video game arcade. DRIFT was researched and developed at John Jamieson School, and we launched the production with a pilot tour in Q1 2025.
The tour began at ARC Stockton, and concluded with a week-long run at Interplay, with response sessions from our Sensory Youth Theatre and LS12 Creative Youth Theatre groups. In total 16 performances were attended by over 200 young people and their carers and families. Feedback from venues, schools, teachers and students was positive. We intend to tour DRIFT again in Q3 2025 to a wider range of schools and venues.
**Writer and Director – Kirsty Pennycook** Kirsty joined Interplay as Associate Director of Young People and Communities, and stepped into her role as Artistic Director in January 2024. She has previously directed work with Starcatchers, and creates sensory theatre for audiences with complex disabilities.
**Composer – Maxwell Shirley Maxwell** is a synth pop musician whose work is described as merging the dramatic with the emotive. His electronic pop background with band PEAKES is highly regarded in music circles, alongside his sound design and composition work for theatre and film, with Unsung Collective and others.
**Designer – Emma Williams** Set and costumes were designed by Emma Williams an Armley based designer Interplay has previously worked with on _My Life with the Wave, Paint and Frida_ . Emma trained at the Wimbledon School of Art and has previously worked for Lawrence Batley Theatre, Opera Schmopera, Jack Dean Company and many more.
The process of tour booking was difficult, with staff changes meaning that booking was inconsistent and at shorter notice than we would have liked. However, with the support of freelance producer Kerry Wright we were pleased to tour to 5 schools across Yorkshire, and perform at ARC Stockton. A fuller tour is planned for Autumn 2025 to encompass more venues and a wider geographical range.
_“DRIFT was amazing – the show is lovely and it was beautiful watching the children experiencing it in their own ways – some were just captivated by the colour and movement and there was one boy who found the pirate absolutely hilarious.”_ - **Alex Corwin – Kala Sangnam Arts Centre**
_“An unforgettable experience that empowered and inspired our pupils. This unique opportunity allowed them to connect with the art of storytelling in a way that was engaging, inclusive, and transformative, leaving a lasting impact on all who experienced it”_ – **Head Teacher, Delius School**

## **Artist Development and Venue Programme**
Throughout 2024/25 Interplay continued to use the venue positively, giving subsidised rehearsal space, equipment and performance space to artists, musicians and independent companies throughout the year including : Speedwell Dance Company, Wrongsemble, Archipelago Arts Collective, Alice Barber, Mind The Gap, Brave Word and In Mind Development.
In addition to this subsidized work, Interplay hosted productions throughout the year including from:
- Speedwell Dance
- Leeds Youth Opera
- Leeds Playhouse
- JamJar Theatre Company
We hosted an R&D by learning disabled artist Alan Clay, called In Mind. His colleagues from Mind The Gap and friends of organisation Brave Words attended the sharing. We’ve given a letter of support for future life of the show. We continued to support Invisible Pain Theatre Company with their work for people living with mental health conditions, to platform their work, including a performance of The Wizard of Oz in May 2024.
We also supported various community projects in Armley including:
- Armley Common Rights Trust
- SHEnanigans
- Cygnet Health Care
- Leeds Community Partnerships
During this year, Artistic Director Kirsty Pennycook began work in access consultancy, using Interplay’s Access From The Start perspective to support companies and venues in embedding access throughout their productions. Partners for this work included:
• Archipelago as Access Director on Mother of the Revolution at Leeds Industrial Museum, to implement a lift accessible route, a quiet chill out space for neurodivergent audiences, a consultancy model for working with disabled consultants, and embedded BSL into the production.
• Front Room Productions and Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield to provide an Access From The Start perspective in their R&D of a new musical
• Delivering accessible practice training with facilitators and young people involved in the National Theatre and Theatre Royal Wakefield programme, Speak Up.
## **LS12 Creative - Participation**
Interplay theatre is deeply rooted in the local community. Our participation programmes use the arts to build confidence & enjoyment, improve wellbeing & self-efficacy & increase chances of leading a fulfilling life. We are building-based & deeply rooted in our community, Armley, a very deprived Leeds ward. 5 of Armley’s 9 neighbourhoods are in the top 5% most deprived nationally & our work is focused in 3 of these neighbourhoods. The vast majority of participants are very local, and all of our participation projects are free to attend. Grants have been secured from Leeds City Council, and the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust to ensure this happens.

## **Youth Theatre**
Our Youth Theatre ran every Thursday during term time for up to 35 young people aged 8-19. These groups were named Interconnect (8-11s), Intertwine (11-14) and Interact (14-19), with young people graduating from one to the other as they grow with Interplay. These sessions give local young people a creative voice, develop skills and build confidence.
We received excellent feedback from participants and partners:
• From evaluation with guardians of our Youth Theatre participants, 83% said their child’s confidence had increased since joining.
• “This is amazing. She came home buzzing from what you did before and I thought ‘Oh God, how much is that going to cost me?' She couldn’t come if it wasn’t free”. (Parent)
- "I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes that this is free. I feel quite overwhelmed with the support ... thank you. This doesn't happen anywhere." (Parent)
• "This is just brilliant; I think drama is the best thing for the young people I work with.” (Social Prescribing partner)
- “Please keep being Interplay!” (Youth Theatre participant)
## **Sensory Youth Theatre**
We received funding from the National Lottery Million Hours Fund to support our newly launched Sensory Youth Theatre. Kirsty Pennycook (Artistic Director) led this work, alongside the rest of the Interplay team, bringing her expertise in working with learning disabled and autistic young people.
We ran Sensory Open Days once per month, encouraging more profoundly disabled young people to engage with the arts in a safe and welcoming environment. We also ran Sensory Youth Theatre projects in the school holidays, with young people attending for three days, developing an idea into a short performance, and sharing with their grown ups at the end of the three days. These models both worked successfully to bring new people into Interplay, and to develop community between learning disabled young people and their families.
## **Wythers Way Project**
In addition to funding Sensory Youth Theatre, the National Lottery Million Hours Fund also funded a new project on the Wythers Estate, a short walk from Interplay. The Wythers Way project aimed to introduce creative arts to families and young people experiencing social and financial exclusion in West Leeds.
So far Interplay has run 22 sessions on the Wythers Estate, using an outdoor space to engage young people and encourage play and creativity. We worked with a range of lead artists, and they got to know returning participants and planned activities to respond to their creativity. We mixed music, visual arts, and applied theatre techniques and built trusting relationships with family groups across the estate. We noticed this has sparked an interest in creative play and arts activities in Armley.
At our community sessions, mostly attended by teenagers on the estate, we discussed and planned activities that they felt were missing from their area. Young people took creative projects home, instead of leaving them as a legacy in the space, including plant pots they’d decorated and planted, painted rocks, and streamer decorations created by hand.

## **Armley Youth Space**
As part of our involvement in WYCANN (West Yorkshire Children’s Additional Needs Network) and our connections with the council more broadly, Interplay was approached to lead a youth club called Armley Youth Space. Based at Armley Leisure Centre, Armley Youth Space is a blend of sport, arts and youth activity. It is a collaboration between Interplay Theatre, Armley Leisure Centre, New Wortley Community Centre, Barca Leeds and Leeds Youth Service, with Interplay leading on staffing, creative activity and safeguarding. This work was funded directly by Leeds City Council.
Armley Youth Space happens every Tuesday during term time, with different artists attending each week to engage the young people who attend. This year we have rapped, crafted, danced, played games, played sport, explored theatre, eaten a lot of snacks, and had guest artists from The Music Box and Brave Words.
Armley Youth Space serves a dual purpose – to increase engagement with the arts, and to reduce anti-social behaviour in the area by providing young people with a welcoming and supportive third space.
Armley Youth Space received a Highly Commended award from Leeds City Council at the Compassionate City Awards on 5th December. We also secured additional funding from the council for the continuation of the project until November 2025.
## **Structure, governance and management of the charity**
## **Recruitment and Appointment of the Board of Trustees**
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Board are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must offer themselves for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting if they wish to continue in office.
The priority of the company's work is young people facing economic, social and sensory barriers. The Board seeks to ensure that the need of these groups is met through the diversity of the trustee body. Board members have considerable skills and experience of working across a range of youth, community, education, finance and management skills. The Board regularly undertakes a skills audit and, in the event of particular skill being lost or new skills being required, recruit new members.
## **Trustees Induction and Training**
Upon being approached to stand for election to the Board, potential trustees are sent an information pack that details both the legal and financial obligations of trustees and specific information regarding the ethos and activities of the company. Once appointed, the trustee receives an induction information pack drawn from Charity Commission, Arts Council England and other relevant publications. This covers:
•The obligations of Board members and specific applications of skills brought by the individual Board member. •The main documents which set out the operational framework for the company
•Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest accounts.
•Future plans and objectives.
Additionally, all trustees are asked to attend events and activities on a regular basis and also an annual Away Day to familiarise and update themselves with the company and the context within which it operates. Further training opportunities are offered through sessions run by other Board members and voluntary sector support organisations.

## **Organisational Structure**
The Board of Trustees meet quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charitable company.
A scheme of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services rested with the Artistic Director/CEO. Alongside the Chair of Trustees, they are responsible for ensuring that the company delivered the services specified and that key performance indicators were met.
## **Organisational Development**
Interplay has undertaken a re-structuring during this financial year. Kirsty Pennycook, our new Artistic Director/CEO stepped into her role in January 2024, and Lizzy Whynes joined us as Associate Director in May 2024. Mid way through the year Executive Director Richard Oyarzabal stepped down (October 2024), which led to some significant capacity challenges which we were pleased to be able to mitigate with the help of freelance producer Kerry Wright. We anticipate a new Executive Producer will join by summer 2025, to lead on finance, strategic planning and fundraising.

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## _**Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 March 2025 .**_
The board of trustees is satisfied with the performance of the Charity during the year and the position at 31st March 2025. The Charity is in a position to continue its activities during the coming year, and the Charity's assets are sufficient to fulfil its obligations, but the Charity needs to improve its income in order to maintain continued viability in future years. The principle funding source in this year continued to be unrestricted funds from Arts Council England as a National Portfolio Organisation, as well as several restricted grants from trusts and foundations, and from Leeds City Council. Expenditure has supported the key objectives by funding the creation of a show to tour SEND Schools, and to create opportunities for young people in our local area to engage in the arts.
Specific changes in fixed assets are detailed in the notes to the accounts.
## _**Policies on reserves.**_
The trustees have reviewed the company’s need for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. At 31st March 2025, there was £31,044 in unrestricted reserves and £24,502 in restricted reserves. The company intends to work towards holding reserves of £65,000 in line with the charity commissions guidance of three to six months operating costs. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.
## _**Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds**_

## **Interplay Theatre Trust**
## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## _**Policies relating to the production of the accounts.**_
## **Basis of preparation and accounting convention**
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.
## **Going Concern**
There are no uncertainties about going concern.
## **Risks and future assumptions**
The charity is a public benefit entity.
## _**Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.**_
## **Nature of income**
Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.
## **Categories of Income**
Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.
**Income from exchange transactions** is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.
**Income from a non-exchange transaction** is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.
15
## **Interplay Theatre Trust**
## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Income recognition**
Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.
## _**Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.**_
## **Recognition of liabilities and expenditure**
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
## **Volunteers**
In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity.
However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note7.
## _**Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.**_
## _**Tangible fixed assets**_
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Freehold Property Improvements 10 % straight line Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment 20 % reducing balance
## **Debtors**
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
16
## **Interplay Theatre Trust**
## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **Cash and bank balances**
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
## **Leasing contracts and commitments**
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
## **Fund Accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
There are no designated funds
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or as implied by law.
There are no endowment funds.
## **2 Liability to taxation**
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose.
## **3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity**
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
## **4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position**
There are no significant implications of such matters.

## **7 The contribution of volunteers**
As it stands on 31st March 2025, the company does not rely on volunteers, but does occasionally welcome volunteers on projects to support and engage with our community. The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to value precisely in monetary terms, and have not been recognised in Statement of Financial Activities. The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements.
