## Gantry Youth Theatre AGM Chairs Report – 6th May 2022 The Gantry Youth Theatre has been able to run our classes, our holiday workshops and after school clubs this year. Whilst some of these were disrupted as a result of covid rules they were able to be delivered via Zoom or in person. We also put on 2 productions - High School Musical on 24th April 2021 but without an audience and Shrek the Musical between 15th and 17th July 2021 with an audience. As at the Summer of 2021 we had 80 class members and 47 at our after school clubs (2 out of our 5 venues weren’t operating at this time). As last year, Covid-19 and lockdowns continued to suppress Gantry’s income (net of the £5,005 furlough grant). During the year, we have really shown our moto to be all inclusive and feeling like a family. We are all in this together! The Great Gantry Sponsor and other donations generated £2,951 which helped to steady the financial ship along with £1,875 from generous corporate donors. We are extremely grateful to you all. I would like to say a massive thank you to all of the tutors and assistants who have kept going even when times were difficult to ensure the children still had something to look forward to. Through the support of our committee, parents, tutors and assistants and our members we have withstood the financial difficulties of the last 2 years caused by the Covid pandemic. We are however expecting to report a deficit of £5,800 in 2021/22 which will reduce our bank balance to £6,600. This does remain of concern and the committee will review all of our expenditures, sources of income and fees. We have been successful in £1,000 grants from both the Sylvia Waddilove Foundation and Groundworks UK. We were also supported with £5,005 from the government’s job retention scheme (furlough) grant to ensure that we were able to retain the services of our Office Manager and our Finance Manager. In the 2021-22 financial year we have successfully delivered our Pirates of the Panto production between January 24th and 27th 2022. Our next production is Robin Hood between 14th and 16th July 2022. There was a full member showcase on 24th March and Matilda from Theatrescope on 2nd April. These were a great success. I will be stepping down today, but I would like to say that it has been a wonderful opportunity to be your Chairperson for the last two years. You have all shown great fight and determination in the pandemic and it has been an honour to work alongside you all. I will miss each and every one of you.
