As I reflect on the achievements in 2024125, I'm reminded of the exceptional quality of work that is produced from our base in East London. My personal highlights have included the latest co-production for 6 - 18 month olds Soft or Spiky? and our flagship Nexl Steps programme supporting vulnerable young people with the transition from primary to secondary school. This has been a year of significant change at Half Moon. We have said goodbye to our Director, Chris Elwell, after 27 years and our Administrative Director Jackie Eley. Their legacy and impact on the local community was evident in the many messages we received on hearing news of their departure. We welcomed Bradley Travis (Artistic Director) and Louise Allen (Executive Director) as CO-CEOS at Ihe beginning of 2025 and they have brought with them a new energy and dynamism to the organisation. I'm excited to work with them on a new chapter for Half Moon. The core staff team have wortCEOs have a bold new vision for the theatre and have already begun to implement a new and innovative fundraising and income diversification strategy with support from the trustees. On behalf of Half Moon, I would like to thank all our funders, without whom we would not be able lo continue our vital work and have such an impact on the young people we work with. I would also like to thank our Board of Trustees who bring a wealth of experience and expertise to support the organisation. It has been a real privilege to work with the entire team at Half Moon.

CREATIVE LEARNING Our Creative Learning programme is wide-ranging, covering ages 0-18 {or 25 for young adults with disabilities), with a strong focus in Tower Hamlets. The programme includes sessions in formal education settings as part of curriculum delivery, as well as work with children, young people and families as independent attenders. Our work supports the borough's strategies for children and young people and enhances our audience development initiatives The overarching aim of the Creative Leaming programme is to ensure work is inclusive and accessible to all and offer progression routes for young people to continue exploring their creativity.

It focused on key areas of social, emotional, and behavioural development for children, while also posrtivety impacting parental mental health and well-being. A key innovation of this programme was the inclusion of an access worker in addition to the lead and support tutor which was in response to feedback from families and tutors on other early years prqects, Young People's Involvement Haff Moon remains committed to ensuring that young people are at the very centre of everything the company does their authentic voice is always evident in all aspects of activrty. Over and above presenting to them as an audience, artists have direct contact with young people across the creative process of developing a show through structured encounterslworkshops, ensuring the young people's voices are foremost in the creative development. Young people have formal representation through the Youth Forum - representatives from all groups are elected to join this termly Forum, a Trustee attends meetings and minutes are presented to the full Board as a regular agenda item. SOCIAL IMPACT, INCLUSION AND THE ENVIRONMENT Half Moon has been embedded in the Tower Hamlets communtty for over 30 years and has a strong reputation for delivering fully accessible work that meets the priorities of the young people and families we serve. What we offer is heavily subsidised. with addilional access support offered for free, so that our offer is affordable for 811. We are based in the middle of Tower Hamlets, the borough with the highest levels of child poverty and high indices of special educational needs for local young people. Intersecting issues negalively impact our young people, including overcrowding, social deprivation and domestic abuse. These factors lead to complex issues which often have signtficant effects on their mental health. Everything we do is inclusive. We work wrth key partners in our communty from local schools, nurseries. children and family centres. social worker teams, refuges, Virtual Schools {Looked After Care team), the Tower Hamlets Early Help Hub and olher local authority teams and third sector organisations to ensure that those young people and families who will benefit most are able to access our programmes. During the year, we carried out the recommended works from the 2022 Accèss Audrt, thanks to funding from the City Bridge Trust. This involved the replacement of main passenger lift, installation of a hearing induction loop in the theatre. improvements to wayfinding and repairs to uneven floors, steps and door thresholds. We also filmed a 360° virtual tourofthe building to help young people with autistic spectrum disorder prepare for their visit to the theatre. Half Moon recognises that the company's operations have an impact on the environment and is committed to reducing that impact through continuous environmental improvement. We are a founding member of the TEF (Theatre Education Forum) Climate Justice Collective and we work in partnership with Julie's Bicycle (a not for profit that supports arts organisations to tackle climate Change) to achieve our green goals. Each year we input all of our data into the Julie's Bicycle Creative Climate TODI and seek to continually improve in this area. FINANCIAL REVIEW We are a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England and this funding represented 27% of turnover in 2024125. The company has good relationships with charitAble trusts and foundations of all sizes, many of which provide regular and multi-year funding. Half Moon's home borough of Tower Hamlets is very supportive and provides funding as grants, service level agreements and commi55ioning. 2024125 has been a transitional period for Haff Moon and this is ￿flected in the financial outturn for the year. The preparations for the change of leadership involved certain income generating activities being wound down and the handover period with the incoming team, as well as payments for unlaken leave,

Other unforeseen factors causing overspend include cover for Ihe long temi sickness of a member of staff and the breakdown of the boiler. This unfortunately coincided with a reduclion in the level of grant income from trusts and foundations, a downward trend experienced by charitable organisations nationally. The year ended with an in-year deficit of £52,987 (2024. £8,432 surplus) which has been supported by the company's reserves. Despite this, Half M(yJn is in a stable position, with the mortgage having been paid off four and a half years earty in April 2023 and no outstanding debt repayments. The cashflow position is good and as at year end there is already over £160k of confimied grant income from trusts and foundations for future projects and capital works. The new leadership team, together with the Trustees. is developing a new fundraising and income diversification strategy alongside a plan to rebuild the resenrfes. At the end of the year there were unrestricted funds of £367,296 (2024.. £423,525) and reslricled funds of £118.629 (2024.. £115,387).

RESERVES POLICY The organisalion's reserves policy sets a target for maintaining a Designated ReseNe, intended to provide financial security in the event of unexpected changes in funding. unforeseen operational costs, or capital expenditure needs. The target level for the Designated Reserve is £70,000. This figure comprises an estimated £45,000, equivalent to three month5, SUPPOrt costs and an additional £25,000 allocated for discretionary or unplanned expendrture. The Board of Trustees reviews the reserve5 policy annually to ensure it remains appropriate in light of the organisation's evolving financial position and strategic priorities. During 2024125, the organisation drew on a portion of tts feserves to help navigate a period of signrficant transition. This strategic use of reserves ensured continuity and stability during a time of change. Recognising the importance of long-temi financial sustainability, the new leadership team, working closely with the Board of Trustees, is now developing a refreshed fundraising and income diversification strategy. This is being designed in parallel with a comprehensive plan to rebuild and strengthen the organisation's reserves. 10

Oo¢usSgn ErNelope ID.. C88989cF-E07F43F4-A2EF-7155F8117F28 Restoring the reseprfes is critical not only to safeguarding the charity's future resilience but also to enabling it to respond effectively to unforeseen challenges and continue delivering impact. A robust financial foundation will empower the organisation to invest in innovation. grow its services, and achieve its strategic objectives with confidence. RISK MANAGEMENT The company adopts a proactive and comprehensive approach lo risk management, recognising the critical importance of anticipating and mitigating threats to its sustainability and effectiveness. An annual strategic risk review is conducted with the Board of Trustees, complemented by a rolling assessment of risks across key categories.. govemance and leadership. operations, finance, compliance, and externallenvironmental factors. In addition, tailored risk assessments are produced for all productions, tours, projects and school visits to ensure safety. accounlabilty and quality of delivery at all levels. The most significant risks currently facing the organisation are the potential loss of rts principal core funder, Arts Council England (ACE), and the ongoing downward trend in grant funding from trusts and foundations, a challenge facing much of the sector. A loss of core funding would have a material impact on the organi5alion's ability to deliver its programme5 and maintain staffing capacity. To mitigate these risks, the organisation places a strong emphasis on maintaining open, transparènt, and constructive relationships with ACE and all existing funders. Regular reporting, high standards of delivery and alignment with funder priorities underpin this approach. The organisation also benefits from long-standing, positive partnerships with various departments of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. which has resulted in continued access to a range of local aulhority funding streams. Looking ahead, the leadership team is also developing 8 refreshed fundraising and income diversification strategy to reduce dependency on any single funding source and strengthen financial resilience.

Re$pon8lbllllles of Iruslees As explained more fully in the Irustees, responsibilities statement set out on pages 12 and 13, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company lor Ihe purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation ot the tinancial statements and lor being satisfied thal they give a true and lair view, and for such intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thai an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstalemenl when il exists.

Docusign Envelope ID: C68989CF-E07F43F4-A2EF-7155FB1'1 /r28 Independent Audltors, Report to the￿ernberS of The Half Moon Young People's Theatre Limited Irregularities, including fraud, are inslances ' of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to delect material misslalemenls in respecl of irregularities, including fraud. The extenl to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below: Our assessmenl focussed on key laws. and. regulations the charitable company has to comply with and areas of the financial statemenls we assessed as being more susceptible to missiatemenl. These key laws and regulalions included bul were not limited to compliance with Ihe .Companies Act 2006, Charilies Act 2011, taxation legislation, dala protection and employment legislation. We are not responsible for preventing irregularities: Our approach to deiecting. irregularilies included, but was not limited to, the following.. obtainlng an unclerstanding of Ihe legal and regulatory Iramowork applicable to the charitable company and how the charitable company is complying wth Ihat Iramework, including agreemenl of tinancial statement disclosures to underlying documentation and other evidence; obtaining an understanding of Ihe charitable company's control environment and how the charitable company has applied relevant control procedures, through discussions with Trustees and other management and by performing walkthrough testing over key areas. obtaining an understanding of the charitable company's risk assessment process, including the risk of fraud; reviewing meeting minutes of those charged with governance throughout the year., and performing audll testing to address the risk of management override of controls, including lesting journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evalualing the business rationale of significant transactions oulside the normal course of business and reiiiewing accounting estimates for bias. Whilst considering how our audil work addresséd Ihe detection of irregularities, we also considered the likelihood of detection based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than Ihose arising from error. Because of the inherent limitalions of an audit. Ihere is a risk Ihat we will nol detect all irregularltles, including those leading to a material misslatemenl in the financial slalements or non-compliance wilh regulalion. This risk increases Ihe more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial stalemenls, as we will be less likely io become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud ralher than error, as fraud involves inlentional concealmenl. forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
