Chairfs Report
There is a detailed svmmory below Isee Achievemenls and Performancel of the many successful activities
that took place during the yeor. This is a truly remarkable record, particularly bearing in mind the very
small staff group that comprises the Attic Thealre Company and the blighi OF the pandemic that impac
so severely on all aspects of our lives and not least on creative arls octivilies. The Trustees recognize the
combination OF hard work, commitment and ingenuity amongst the staFF that enabled such an impressive
orray of work lo continue. We are truly grateKI for the contributions they made to Attic's continuing success.
Because Attic does not have its own theatre or arts centre building, we were not able to take advantage of
the full range government grants that were made available lo theatre comwnies lo help them keep afloat
during the pandemic. Nevertheless, as can be seen in delail below, through tremendous staff efforts we
were able to secure sufficient hJnding to keep our community activities going by switching to on-line
provision and lo keep Attic in a position of financial stability. Becouse we were able to continue to operate
in this way, we did not need lo place any staff on furlough.
However, this has been Far from o normal year. We were unable to pul on any live theatre productions, as
hos been such an important feabjre of Attic's work over the years. Al the lime of writing, we are oplimislic
that we will be able lo return lo live productions in 2021 /2 and, as delailed below, Ihere are several
exciting projects in development.
Dvring the year, we welcomed Robin BelField lo our trustee board. Robin has vost experience as a theatre
director, writer and educator and will enhance the skills and insights of our board. I would like to record
my thanks lo all Attic's board members For their continued support lo Attic in this diFficult time.

Purposes and Activities
Attic produces theatre productions, workshops for community participants and creative events. All our work
is underpinned by the aim OF making the experience of theatre and the opportunity of expressing yourself
through creativity ond perforniance available to everyone.
In a usual year our productions tour lo both traditional and non-lradilional theatre spaces in both our local
orea ond hJrther afield, to reach as diverse an audience as possible and make our work occessible lo all. In
the year 2020 - 2021 almost oll OF our activities have been pivo￿ lo online delivery.
Our community workshops are cenlred on our local area and focus on groups: disadvantaged young
people, including young rehJgees, and older people who may be al risk of becoming vulnerable and
isolated from the community 0$ they age. The same core creative team works in both areas alongside
experienc￿ workshop leaders, maintaining the company's reputation and high slandard of work in both
fields.
All our work is oFFered either free OF chorge or at a subsidised rate al point of delivery and is open b UK
residents irrespeclive of income, roce, gender, ability, sexual orientation or political or religious belief. AIFIC
Posilively promotes and encourages social inclusion and strives to connect with and foster a wide range of
communities through ils produclions, workshops and creative evenls.
Attic is mindhJl that our aclivilies are subjecl lo personal toste and may occasionally ond inadverlenily cause
offence. We take the views of our avdiences, participants and beneficiaries very seriously and have a
comprehensive sel of policies and company procedures in place, including a Diversity policy, Equal
Opportunities policy, Child Proteclion policy and Adults al Risk policy. All staff are made hmil￿r wilh
these policies, adherence lo which is a condition of employment or engogemenl. Feed&]ck from
beneficiaries is collated on a regular basis, onalysed formally and Presen￿ for review to the board of
trustees ond our funders.
Achievements and Perforniance
2020-2021 has been an Unprecedented year which has had a huge impact on our octivities with the
restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus wndemic.
The announcement of the first lockdown in March 2020 resulted in the immediate cancellation of all live
delivery of our activities and o move out of the office lo remote working for Ihe team.
Following a brieF pause to assess viability, we were forced to move the majority of our aclivities online and
began fundraising for emergency support lo recoup some of the lost income and ensure we could continue
provision of our community programme. Our live theatre programme has been on hold for the hJll year.
We implemented a series of protocols to ensure Ihe safety of staff, provided PPE revised all risk
ossessments.
However, despite this, demand for our work has grown and we increased our output of participatory
workshops oclivities by 40% From 182 workshops to 2511. Over 2021>2021 we engaged a total of 26
ortisls, praclilioners and sknff, worked collaboratively with 4 new partners ond delivered l 00% of our work
within our local area.

We paused sessions al the start of lockdown and moved online from May 2020, initially free of charge,.
later moving lo donation based and finally a subsidised subscription mcdel. Attendance began al around
75% of usual figures. Some existing members were Ur￿ble to join through lack of digital occess or acumen.
However, for some, the digital offer has allowed them to participate where previously mobility issues or
where health concerns Ipain/illnessI may prevent them from attending at the specified time. Inevitably the
xial and cohesive impact of Ihe sessions was negatively aFFecled as choral singing is not possible and the
xial interaction was limited but we did gain new members from outside the area and over the year o
hJrther 23 people joined.
As the weather improved ond people became occlimatised to the new restriclions numbers dropped off and
we ended the year with around 50% of our usual uptake. However, those who have attended have been

broughi a fresh energy to the group and sessions are now a lot more physically demanding. This has
changed the dynamic and also the core porlicipanls. The online sessions have allowed us lo increase our
numbers. Whilst we sadly lost engagement with a number of existing participants due to a lack of
lechnology/ initial interest in online sessions, we were able to engage a number of new participants from
Merton & beyond. Weekly sessions have been key lo ensuring participants stay active ond mobile
throughoul a period where lockdowns have have prevented them from getting out to exercise regularly or

Sessions for the Merton Dementia Hub in Milcham immediately ceased ot lockdown and have remained
We felt the best way to sUPPOrt users would be lo pr*record sessions and upload them onlo YouTube
so participants could view them al any lime and could rdurn repeatedly lo any session they particularly
enjoyed. Providing sessions in this format can 0150 provide respite lo carers which has become increasingly
scarce during lockdown.
This kind of aclivity has really benefited those suffering with Demenlia ond their families as il is an activity
that they can do logether, and the music and movement provides joy, connection and ¢xcasionally a lucidity
for some.
unfortuna￿lY, some parlicipanls cognitive and physical abilities deteriorated significantly overthe summer,
presumably due to the isolalion and lack of stimulation Ihe pandemic has engendered. This evidences the
value of the sessions however for those with early to middle slage dementia in preventing further decline.

Lockdown 2 meant we were unoble to enter school so inslead we delivered 9 films that could be used by
the school for all students who were onsite, returning to live delivery in late March.
11 has been evident thal some of the young people were signiFicanily impacted by the isolotion of the
pandemic. ShJdenYs confidence and language abilities had declined and mental healih concerns were
evident in a few members of the group. The element OF hJn within the sessions was therefore paramount in
getting people lo come out of their shell and start engaging, interacting and communicating again.
The number OF shjdenls in the sessions increased over the year and we split the groups in to two to better
deol with the varying levels of language obility. We also extended the sessions, duration with addilional
hJnding as Ihe necessary precautions around Covid safety meant our actual delivery lime was reduced.

Financial Review
Core funding awards
We continued lo receive financial support from the London Borough of Merton with a core revenue granl
which contributes to the costs of our overheads and our permanent, part time $￿ff, and which slobilises
our infrastructure, allowing us lo confidently seek hJnds from other sources to support the delivery and
planning of our work.
Trusts and Foundalions
We carried forward a level of restricted funds for projects from the previous year, namely Sport England,
The Arts Society ond Merlon Giving, and prior lo the pandemic secured hJrther project hjnding from the
Wimbledon Foundation Get Sel, Get Active hjnd for the Dance workshops, Jack Petchey Leader award for
o pilot series of Many Voices at Rutlish school and LB Wandsworth for Many Voices at CARAS. Wiihout
exception these Knders agreed b our request lo postpone the projecls until we were able to resume or
Po9e | 18

AThIC THEATRE COMPANY ILONDONI LIMITED
IA company limitd by guaranleel
formulate a new way of delivering our se￿ice$ within the granl temis. We alK) secured Emergency
Coronavirus hjnding support through the Arts Council Covid Response Fund, Merton Giving phase I , Tesco
Community Giving and the London Community Response Fund waves 2 and 5. This allowed us the financial
security lo ensure Ihe slaff team remained in post and we had the capacity and resources to reshape how
we delivered our work.
These awards allowed vs to meet our annual targets and secure boih the aclivities ond the continuation of
the new role of Creative Engagement Producer which hod previously been piloted in 2019 and Knded
from company reserves.
Private income
Understandably, our regular corporate sponsor was forced to reduce Iheir annual contribution but still
provided a level of sponsorship and we received an increase in private, low level donations from our
supporters, which was consislenily maintained over the ￿r and helped lo support the ongoing costs.
Earn￿ income
We gained some income from commissioned work including Avanti Mental Wellbeing CIC For a series of
both drama and music workshops for adult members and from Clarion Fulvres, part of Clarion Housing
who commissioned an engagemenl toolkit for the older residents nationwide.
Forward financial planning
The hJnding landscape has changed significantly over the last 18 months and we face a considerable
increase in competition for funds with Fewer streams available. Many large hJnding schemes remain on
hold or are revising their priorities lo support those impacted the most by the pandemic and we are actively
pursuing other avenues to generote income such as commissioning our services lo other organisations and
partnership working. We are in a fortunate position 0$ much of our existing work is with vulnerable and
isolated residents of the borough who hove faced even more challenging circumslances over the pandemic,
therefore demand for our activities has increased bul our knnding largels have increased in line and whilst
responding lo this increased demand our capacity is stretched. With the majority of successful awards
coming from smaller, local hjnding avenues our fundraising oclivity is ongoin9.
Reser￿5 Policy
Attic Theatre Company requires a level of free resems to safeguord Ihe organisalion, protect options for
Fulure developmenl and to achieve the following..
the option to develop new services or expond current services in line with the changing needs of the

In June 2020 we increased our free reserves lo a minimum of £20,000, to take into account inflation over
