INTRODUCTION Clean Break is a women's theatre company established by two women prisoners in 1979 at HMP Askham Grange in Yorkshire. We are the only organisation of our kind in the UK and since our founding we have been producing award winning theatre productions which share the untold stories of women who are criminalised with audiences across the UK. We also work directly with women themselves through theatre.'creativity and support. both from our studios in Kentish Town, north London and in prisons and women centres around the country. PRINCIPAL AIMS AND OBJECTSOF THE CHARITY Our charitable objects as stated in our governing document are: To advance education for the public benefit through the promotion of the arts with particular but not exclusive reference to imprisonment of women. To help rehabilitate and re-integrate women ex-prisoners and offenders by promoting and developing the creative, artistic and practical abilities of such persons. We do not use the term 'offenders' in our communications internally or externally as we recognise that this label is stigmatising and unhelpful. Instead. we speak of oMen with lived experience of the criminal justice system, to emphasise that they are women first and foremost. We refer to women who attend our on-site and online programme of activities as our Members. They either have lived experience of the criminal justice system or identify as at risk of entering it. with drug/alcohol use and/or mental health needs. Members can be currently attending or have attended in the past and want to maintain an ongoing affiliation with Clean Break. Member artists are those who have progressed into professional creative careers and are employed by us. 7of56

CONTEXT FOR 2023-24 2023 saw us develop our strategic plan for the coming three years and refine our aims. We were able to build on the rich learning captured since the introduction of our new business model in 2018. to best meet our intentions for the period ahead. Our business model and financial sustainability is contingent on a mixed model of income generation. to ensure we can continue to provide our core services and activities and invest in future work. From 2018 we intended to build earned income and reduce reliance on trusts and foundations: however. this ambition was impacted adversely by the pandemic which saw our hires and training income reduce significantly with the Closu of our building. We have bean steadily supported by our funders over the past few years of disruption. and now that we are able to return to our earned income activities, we are working hard to grow these sources of income and embed an enterprising approach to our business modal. With the generous support ol two funders. we are investing in our resilience and business development with a plan to build capacity to fully realise our ambitions. The involvement of our Members across the company has been a strategic aim since 2018, and in 2023 in striving to accelerate this shift and hold us accountable we have brought together our plans for Members activity into one strategic aim, signalling the investment and focus in this area. Create bold. courageous and outstanding theatre that sparks cornpassion and action in our audiences. Invest in and nurture the voices, experience, expertise, and aspirations of our Members (women at risk and with criminal justice experience). Be a leading force in the sectors we work in and with, altering the theatre and criminal justice ecologies. Drive forward equality, diversity and inclusion in and beyond our organisation. In a similar way. equ81ty. diversity and inclusion which underpins all our work, is now explicitly articulated in our fourth strategic aim as we know that dedicated attention, accountability and resources are required to really drive change. This report will highlight key activities and approaches used to deliver our aims in 2023- 24 and how this was supported financially. 9of55
ACTIVITIES AND IMPACT OF THE CHARITY
CREATE BOLD. COURAGEOUS AND OUTSTANDING THEATRE THAT SPARKS COMPASSION AND ACTION IN OUR AUDIENCES DIXON AND DAUGHTERS BY DEBORAH BRUCE "It wos genuinely one of the most powerful plays I have ever seen and l urged everyone I know to see it. I would love it if it bvas to run ogoin." Thought the acting was fantostic and I changed my views on the chomcters as the play developed. One of the best plays I have seen." Our co-production with the National Theatre on their Dorfman stage in spring of 2023 ofFered us many additional opportunities to further our aims. Along with championing an all women cast and creative team, to promote further gender representation in the theatre sector, this production also oftered incredible partnership learning for both companies. W8 extended our audience wellbeing offer which includes a self-care pack, to also have a quiet space. and Mental Health First aiders at all performances (NT staff were trained). Alongside delivering our trauma- informed practice training, Leading with Kindness, staff reported feeling supported and empowered in their roles and used their new skills and tools in approximately V3 of performances to support audiences. This was then replicated for the NT production of Grenfell: in the words of survivors. Ixon an aug ers 3,013 16,933 Str•arns - 3 M•mbor artl JO NT Staff tr*ln 3 Port4how tslkl We reached more audiences than we have before and succeeded in shifting perspectives with our work. The play successfully communicated the complexities around cycles of abuse which led audiences to think about the characters in a nuanced way. complicating the notion of 'victim' and the impact on families. 60 M•mb•r• 39 fr•• tlek•ts 39 publk•tbon• he different ways that each of the women had been impacted by Dixon and the woy thot each of their "untold" stories combined to keep them stuck until they were able to see that they were all survivors of his abuse - was great." At the same time, it was clear that audiences experienced increased empathy for women in similar circumstances. feeling that the play"humanised° the issues, while inspiring some to consider action.

CATCH BY SONIA JALALY Our successful small scale production continued to tour into this financial year as the initial tour booking was particularly challenging• being affected by both University and rail strikes in early 2023. In total. the tour reached 15 venues. The project was open to past and present Members as an acting pathway beyond their engagement on the programme, and open to those interested in a future in performing. This extension of the tour was offered as a paid employment opportunity for the cast. Among the 8udiences were probation workers. prison staff, aeAdemics and university students, theatre professionals and third sector workers. "It gove me much more insight into how I can work with women on my caseload more effectively." In addition to the £19.310 invested in 2023, earning £11.300: the extension of the tour cost £5.068 and earned £3,566. COMMISSIONS As a theatre company who commissions artists diractly to write our plays. we have number of artists under commission across each year. Each play requires a different level of engagement and 8UPPOrt to develop it before it is ready for the stage. This year we worked with Yasmin Joseph, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti, Emma Dennis-Edwards and Natasha Marshall on their work. We also embarked on an exciting collaboration with LIFf (London Festival of International Theatre) to Co-commission Brazilian artists Janaina Leite and Lara Duarte together with five of our Member artists to co-create a new work for presentation in June 2024 at Brixton House, London.

INVEST IN AND NURTURE VOICES. EXPERIENCES, EXPERTISE, AND ASPIRATIONS OF OUR MEMBERS PLAYWRIGHTS PATHWAYS This year saw the culmination of our programme to develop six Members as writers beyond our usual Writers Circle offering. Led by Creative Associates fitilola Dawudu and Rachel Valentine Smith in partnership with the Royal Court Theatre, the 12-month programme had a sharing of five pieces in July followed by a showcase of performances at the Royal Court in September 2023. The quality of the work produced was of a high standard and reflected the diversa and unique perspectives of Clean Break Member artists - bringing these voices and stories to a wider audience was a great outcome. The writing was unique. deep and creative. Each artist has moved forward with their work and sense of artistry...In the questions they asked. in the confidence they exuded and the externent for their writing they held. - Rachel Valentine Smith Member writers feedback*.

Putting in my time and energy, sweat and tsors for myploy and to have 10 minutes from my full-length piece shared by octors in the industry and directed by industry directors was an absolute treat. Both sharing's were very different, and it was a great experience to step back as a writer to see what choices they made and how they interpreted the text I had written. Very diffent pieces from the same scene which bvas really lovefy to see. 20 Sessions 11 Artists Investment in this programme was over 2 years: £3,502 (2023) and £8,918 (2024) plus significant staff delivery time Irom both Clean Break and Royal Court Theatre. 13of55
MEMBER FACILITATOR TRAINING We received funding this year to design and deliver a training course which paid Member artists to develop their skills and expertise running workshops, with the aim of them taking on future paid facilitation roles. We approached Royal Central School of Speech and Drama to partner with us and delivered a seven-day programme across November 23- March 24. Nine Members were offered places and successfully completed the training. All Member artists have been offered paid work for the company since on our Members programme. MEMBERS PROGRAMME AND suppoKr Our core on-site Members Programme delivered 119 sessions over the year and provided support to a total of 68 women across four different strands (Health & Wellbeing9 Theatre Makers, Writers Circle and Creative Spac8).

We delivered five masterclasses engaging with 50 women, including sessions on writing* screen acting and auditions. We are thankful for all the artists who have offered their expertise. On top of providing 39 tickets to Members and Member artists for our own production of Dixon and Daughters at the National Theatre, we were able to take 32 Members to see six other performances providing 45 free tickets to theatre productions on stages across London. of55
Underpinning our creative offer is our holistic support. Across the year we provided regular support and advocacy, addressing a range of issues including mental health, drug relapses. access to digital services. liaising with statutory services, provision of food, and seeking refuge from domestic violence. We continued our partnership with Mary Ward Legal Centre to offer advice on financial wellbeing, benefits support and created opportunities for 1.1 legal advice workshops monthly for Members.

IN PRISON AND IN THE COMMUNITY Our work in prisons and women's centres is a vital part of our wider practice, ensuring that there is a strong interconnection between the theatre we produce for audiences and the creative energy that is born in prisons and outreach settings. This relationship inspires women inside prison walls, artists we work with and our core team - and speaks to the unique position of our work. We delivered 64 creative sessions in three women's centres in London, under contracts with Advance Minerva and Women in Prison, engaging with women 192 times (average of three women per session) led by artists. Our contracts for delivering this work come to £30k per year and are fully spent in year on the costs of delivery and administrating the work.

OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION With our values centred. we aim to run our organisation with equity and fairness. placing women's voices and sustainability at the heart. Our general support costs (overheads and admin) reflect the financial impact of this aim. We achieve this aim by ensuring that our governance framework is strong: our Members are represented: our staff team is thriving: our business model is fit for purpose; and our operational systems and processes are robust. Costs reflecting the financial impact of this aim are naturally embedded within and allocated across all of our activities, but mostly reflected in our support costs. This yearfs support costs. including support staff, totaled £629,147 making up 53% of our expenditure (2023: £637,282, 51%; 2022: £518,4, 42%). The economie landscape remains a challenge. and we while we continued to rely on fundraising for our income, we are beginning to see growth in our earned income generation to balance this. However, as we were not able to reach our projected income targets for the year, we have had to utilise reserves to balance the year end. Op•ratlons and adminlstratlon Other earned income (2023: 24707: 202. £54104) £33.394 We began to gain momentum with earned income generation through our building this year. Over the year we generated £30,758 in hires income (2023: £24,249; 2022: £8.312); this is still lagging far behind the pre- Pandemic income (2019: £128,522). Support staff (2023: U47.7612022: £290,75 £369,483 Other support costs (2023: £289.5: 2022: £2ZT.740) £259,664 Total support costs £629,147 This year was the second of a three-year capital refurbishment project. This year we invested in mechanical, engineering and plumbing systems to improve the infrastructure and environmental sustainability of our building. Alongside this, we participated in the Mayorfs Business Climate Challenge, an energy efficiency programme that has supported businesses to reduce their energy consumption and accelerate building decarbonisation efforts in London. We benefited from an energy audit to inform our project as well as learning more about our energy use over the year. Our charity was highlighted by the Challenge with a film case study: May Mayofs Business Climate Challenge Y•du¢•d by 16.3"A Y•due•d by r•du¢•d by 22of55
FINANCE AND FUNDING OVERVIEW Total income for the year was £1.233.160: an improvement of 28% on last year {2023: £967,203; 2022: £1,064,744. Fundraised income from Donations and Legacies made up 90°A of income {2023:82%: 2022: 86%: 2021: 96%) as our ambitions for generating earned income were less successful than anticipated. An error in our budget resulted in starting the year with an increased in-year £70k planned deficit (planned in-year deficit had been £44k): noting that our in-year bottom line doesn't account for designated or restricted funds carried forward. At the year end, we are pleased to have achieved an in-year surplus of £53,452 through prudent savings and balancing the shortfall on income generation with additional fundraising success. Income from charitable activities was less this year at £91,036 (2023: £153,388; 2022: £114,625) as our primary production was financially held by our partner National Theatre. There was less expenditure but also a reduction to income as we did not realise box off ice or theatre tax relief for productions. Opening restricted f unds were £153,01612023: £127,554: 2022: £211,599) for projects and activities that were tracked rigorously. At the year-end we will carry forward £205,853 in restricted funds for next year. Much of this relates to multi-year projects or f unding agreements that run to different dates than our financial year. Opening unrestricted/designated reserves in the general fund were £146,628 (2023: £319,n1): impacted by the error, we planned to end the year with £89.331 and the result of savings and careful management ensured £85,039 unrestricted/designated funds at year end. Total expenditure for the year was £1,180,997 (2023: £1.243.068: 2022: £1,244,736). We invested less in our productions and pipeline this year, in part relating to the main production being held by partners financially. We increased our Research & Leadership investment. more than doubling direct costs, and increasing support costs through the addition of a new post and additional staff time. Costs of raising funds remained steady at £154,029 (2023: £157,152). Vacancies were covered with consultant support. While we had budgeted for an in-year deficit, we agreed with the Board that this year needed to offer a shift in our f inancial trajectory. We achieved this in ending the year with an in-year surplus, however it was very challenging to arrive at this point. In wider context, we find that we are not alone in needing to utilise reserves for operational reasons this year with other charities reflecting similar positions to us. Trustees have designated £3.040 from unrestricted funds towards the year ahead to realise the final elements of the Keystone Resilience funding (2023: designated £3k to project with Housing for Women which was fully spent in year). 23of55
INCOME Income from donations and legacies Clean Break follows the fundraising practices as per section 13 of the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016. Clean Break does not currently work with any commercial or professional fundraisers. Clean Break has received no complaints relating to fundraising during the year. If any complaints are received. these would be dealt with the by the trustees and Leadership Team. Income from donations and legacies totalled £1,108,730 (2023: £789,108), exceeding target and enabling additional activities and capital work to be undertaken. Having a full team in place by mid-year supported us to ensuring that n% of next yearfs target had been achieved before the start of the financial year 2024/25 (2023: 65%). Some significant successes in the year included: Completing the fundraising toward our capital project to make our studios more accessible and environmentally sustainable. Exceeding our target for our Big Give Christmas Challenge campaign, raising £42,064 (2023: £33.923). Securing investment in our resilience and business development through CAF Keystone Fund and multi-year support from Fidelity UK Foundation. Being awarded a Merit grant as part of Impact 100 London, a collective philanthropy group funding charities who support women and girls. We are incredibly grateful to the regular funders who continued to support our work and those new supporters who are helping to secure our future. Income from charitable and other activities Earned income is usually generated from ticket sales and other production income, fees for delivering work and training. and through hiring our space in our building. As noted. production income was low as planned and comparison to previous years also shows the impact of no theatre tax relief. Income from service level agreements remained steady and earned income from our enterprising activities (training and talks etc) balanced at a similar level to last year. Our charitable activities earned £91,036 (2023: £153,388: 2022: £114,625) showing a dip in the previous positive trend of rebuilding. EXPENDrruRE Direct Expenditure on raising funds Expenditure on raising funds was £154,029 (2023: 134,040; 2022: £147,245). Cost include £3,250 spent on freelance fundraising consultant to support us during a vacancy period. Direct Expenditure on charitable activities Direct costs of delivering against our charitable activities totalled £369,418 (2023: £506.065; 2022: £539,448) this year. 24of55
Direct spend on theatre productions and related engagement activity decreased as noted earlier, to £76,513 (2023: £209,507). Direct costs of research projects and leadership activities (training and talks) increased compared with the previous year to £71.300 (2023: £30,678: 2022: £100,372, 2021: £57,878, 2020: £61.437); this was in relation to specific investment in our training delivery including a project to train Members as facilitators. Direct costs of delivering our Members programme and related support services returned to its usual level of investment this year at £175,164 (2023: £216,537: 2022: £1n,233). Direct costs of delivering projects for women's centres and prisons decreased this year to £24,007 (2023: £61,667: 2022: £33,138). Staff costs Total staff costs (Note 10), including core support from f reelance consultants. were £834.895 (2023: £799,543: 2022: £744,534), and full-time equivalent headcount of 22 (2023: 18.6). Interim freelance staff support was brought in for a cost of £9.335 {2023: £7,130) in the year to support on finance and fundraising efforts. Staff were awarded a cost-of-living inflationary rise in salaries of 2% in the sprin9. Support costs Support costs overall were similar this year at £629,147 (2023: £637,282). Depreciation increased in relation to the investment in capital improvements to our building. The other support costs relate to our work on inclusion including our Member Advisory Group and investment in business development. RESERVES Clean Break's Trustees review and revise the charitys reserves policy annually considering the charity's financial position. planned activities and the financial risks ahead. The policy as included has been updated to reflect current needs and is monitored quarterly by trustees. The Board set the reserves target for the charity to be a minimum of £250,000 in free reserves, being equivalent to 3 months operating costs. These reserves funds may be utilised to cover short term cashflow requirements: the business model sometimes necessitates payment of salaries, operating overheads and project costs ahead of receipt of related funding or earned income: provided there is a clear replenishrnent within the period. A secured overdraft is in place in place to support cashflow of this nature. Restricted reserves are carefully managed to ensure that they are used for intended purposes only. and this is reported in the monthly management accounts. Trustees may designate unrestricted funds at the year-end towards projects that are multi-year. 25of55
Should reserves need to be utilised, this decision will be taken by the trustees; pending all other options being exhausted. Following any use of reserves. a plan to rebuild them will be implemented without delay. As at 31 March 2024. Clean Break has free unrestricted cash reserves (general funds) of £81,999 which is below our target level (2023: £143,628). The trustees have set a target of £125k for reserves to be rebuilt to as a minimum by 31 March 2027 (within three years). RISK MANAGEMENT Risk management remains a key consideration as all charities are navigating an uncertain world. Risk management is a standing agenda item for all trustee meetings. Identified risks are listed in a register which outlines the nature of each individual risk and rates them either high. medium or low risk with regards to both probability and impact. A risk management approach is agreed for each listed risk and a net risk rating after mitigation of either high, medium or low is assigned. Ratings are reviewed regularly, and progress is actively monitored. GOING CONCERN The trustees have considered the requirement that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis unless they intend to liquidate the charity or cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Trustees have discussed the impact on the charity and the sectors it operates in relation to the on-going global conflicts, potential change of government with a general election on the horizon and lingering economic hardships. in the context of the charity's resources, policies, processes and plans for the twelve months ahead. In making their assessment, the Trustees have considered whether there is a material uncertainty that the charity can continue as a going concern and how this should be presented in the financial statements. They have concluded that on*oing uncertainty does not constitute a material uncertainty related to going concern. Trustees continue to identify the risks relating to the company's ongoing operations and discuss the strategies designed to manage them regularly through the risk register. Trustees have highlighted the rebuilding of reserves and increasing the diversification and growth of income as priorities needed to maintain the charity as a going concern in the future. n% of the fundraising target for the financial year ahead has been achieved at April 2024. compared with 43% last year (April 2023). 26of55
Despite a challenging landscape, Clean Break has demonstrated its. ability to manage the financial risk through careful planning, regular reforecasting and continuous risk assessment; the past two years have required operations to be supported by use of reserves and an overdraft facility is in place. if necessary for cashflow. Budgets for the next 3 years are balanced and intend to rebuild this use of reserves. Trustees have therefore concluded that the financial statements of Clean Break for the year ended 31 March 2024, should be prepared on a going concern basis. 27ofSS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CLEAN BREAK THEATRE COMPANY OPINION We have audited the financial statements of Clean Break Theatre Company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which Gornprise the consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the group and charitable parent companys Balance Sheets. group's statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

Based on the work we have performed. we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that. individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on the group-s and the charitable parent companys ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 30of55
Other information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditorfs report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other i nformation and. except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing so. consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements. we are required to determin8 whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion on other mattor prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the inforrnation given in the trusteès. report Cincorporating the directors, report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the trustees, report (incorporating the directors. report) have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Responsibilities of the trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees. Responsibilities Statement. the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. ofS5
In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the group.s and the charitable parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the charitable parent company or to cease operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable 8ssurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably b8 expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud are set out below. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regu18tions, our procedures included the following: We enquired of management. which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charitable parent companvs policies and procedures relating to: Detecting, evaluating. and complying with18ws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance. Detecting of the risks of fraud and responding whether they have knowledge of any actual or suspectsd fraud: The internal controls in place to mitigate risks related to fraud or non- compliance with laws and regulations. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the group and the charitable parent company operate in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charitable parent company from our professional and sector experience. We performed analytical procedures to detect any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 32of55
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at= This description forms part of our auditorfs report. Use of our rnport This report is made solely to the charitable companvs members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitys members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest. extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charitys members as a body* for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
