## Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025 

The Trustees submit their Annual Report and the Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ revised in 2005 in preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Charity. 

The Charity was set up in 1994, with the aim of educating the public in the dramatic and operatic arts and to further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts and to assist and further such charitable purposes as seen fit. 

## Review of Activities 

The activities and financial results of the Charity are set out in the Income and Expenditure Account on pages 4 and 5, and the statement of assets in the Balance Sheet on page 6. 

During the 2024/25 financial year we performed an adult musical, Sister Act, in July 2024 and Snow White, our annual Christmas/New Year pantomime. Both were warmly received by local audiences. 

After a bit of a break, we also re-introduced activities for our Youth section, DOSYTCO. Dereham Theatre Company has invested in providing opportunities for local youngsters at a time when other amateur groups have withdrawn from this sector. At the end of May 2025, our younger members will perform Grease, our first Youth only production since before the Covid-19 pandemic. 

## Governance 

Company and Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity for that period. In preparing those Financial Statements, the Trustees have; 

- e selected suitable accounting policies and then applied them consistently; e made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- ® stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements; and 

- e prepared the Financial Statements on the going concern basis. 

The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the Charity has appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping property accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

This Report was approved on behalf of the Trustees by:
