Locations such as libraries, galleries or theatres are also used where students from project schools Gan meet, work together and showcase their creative output. When reviewing the company's aims and objectives and planning future activities, the trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The theatre company relies on grants and income from fees to cover its operational costs. In setting the level of fees, the trustees give careful consideration to the need to ensure that performances are accessible to our target audiences, i.e. young people under the age of 18 who are dependent on others for financial support in all areas of the country. The same objectives and guidance are reflected in our aim to ensure that we promote theatre as an activity for all. We are committed to Equal Opportunities and ensure that all job applicants, employees and participants are treated equally. We comply fully with the DBS Code of Practice. requesting Enhanced Disclosures for all staff working wilh young people. We undertake not to discriminate unfairfy against any subject of a Disclosure on the basis of conviction or other information revealed. When casting, our aim is to reflect the composition of society as a whole in temis of race, sexuality. gender and disability. In order to ensure that our perfom)ances and projects adhere fimily to the principles of the company's objectives and that the benefits from its activities continue to relate to the aims of the charity. the planning. preparation and evaluation of each production and project are thorough and meticulous. Students, teachers, artists and funders are actively engaged at some point in the pro￿sS. with the young people. our target audience, most directly involved in the research and development of new projects and productions through our rehearsals in residence.

Achievements and performance In 2023-2024, despite the financial constraints many schools are experiencing. on-going induslrial action, and the disruption caused by the RAAC crisis, we achieved yet another sound year in which we performed to 42, 949 young people and accompanying adults and members of the general public in 205 schools and 3 venues, giving 391 performances and workshops. We have continued to work with local authorities, primary and secondary schools to support the work that they do to decrease the numbers of young people who are sadly affected by road traffic inGidents. Our productions for younger pupils are lively and realistic but also fun and engaging, teaching the children how to recognise the dangers in their own locations and take responsibility for their own safety when travelling to and from school, especially during a transition year to seGondary school.
