PEGASUS THEATRE TRUST Trustees Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2021

Report of the Trustees

Objectives and activities

The objects of the company, as stated in its memorandum of association, are to advance the education of the public in the practice and appreciation of the arts, in particular, but not exclusively, for the benefit of children and young people.

Mission

Young people are the life force of Pegasus.

We provide the inspiration for journeys filled with creative opportunity, aspiration and imagination. Through listening and responding to the needs, ideas and energy of all those who find a home within it, Pegasus is a pioneering force creating the present, challenging and shaping the future and making an enduring impact on the vitality of the performing arts locally, regionally and nationally.

Vision

We will be recognised as a pioneering force in the performing arts with our work for, by and with young people providing outstanding opportunities for them to experience and create in the present, challenge and shape the future and make an enduring impact on the vitality of the performing arts locally, regionally and nationally.

The continual development of our artistic and organisational ambition will be shaped by listening and responding to the needs, ideas and energy of all those who find a home with us and informed by the creativity, skills and talents we will nurture in young people and staff alike.

Whilst recognising the needs and expectations of each young person who engages with us will vary, we will provide the space and support to enable young people to embark on individual journeys of personal growth filled with creative opportunity, aspiration and imagination.

We will be bold in our approach to securing a sustainable future for the organisation, reach out to partners who can support us, be nimble and adaptable to the ever-changing environment that surrounds us and ensure the choices we make enable us to work in innovative, viable and inspiring ways.

We will be at the heart of the communities we serve and foster a sense of belonging that encourages people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures to experience together outstanding creative experiences that are vibrant, urgent and exciting.

Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees consider that, having paid due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission, they have complied with the duty placed upon them in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011.

Achievements and performance

Pegasus has proved that it is resilient and adaptable over a year of change, challenge and uncertainty which will continue as we transition through Covid-19 to the changing landscape of the future. The ongoing support of our key funders Arts Council England and Oxford City Council has been invaluable to the organisation over the period.

We have maintained our commitment to providing inspiring and high-quality projects for children, young people and their families and redirected our resources and provided activity across the most appropriate platforms for both the situation and young audiences. As a result, we have seen attendance in classes online or on site of 2,834 alongside daily attendance by 48 Acting Diploma students. Engagement with our online programme of shows, productions and events reached 24,802. Throughout we have continued to secure employment for staff, freelancers, and artists.

The Summer term 2020 began in lockdown and was our first experience of delivering activity online. We have listened to our young people and parents, learning together the challenges of online delivery,

PEGASUS THEATRE TRUST Trustees Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2021

Report of the Trustees (continued)

building stronger relationships and supporting each other through difficult times. Our weekly classes have continued throughout with reduced capacities, online or in person and sometimes in different formats.

Our in-depth inclusion programme enables access to the arts for the most vulnerable and excluded in our society, including those in social care, looked after children and unaccompanied minors and we continued to commit a significant proportion of our resources to ensure young people facing turbulent and complex situations had opportunities to engage in the arts during the disruption of the year. We adapted our programmes including Remix, for those newly arrived in the country, Catalyst for over 18s with learning and physical disabilities, Acting Out for young people experiencing challenging circumstances at home or school and Looking Forward for vulnerable young women and provided young participants with a constant touchstone in difficult times.

By continuing to deliver a programme we have supported our SPARK artists and retained our freelance practitioners providing ongoing work and small commissions. Online content took many forms from show recordings, Q&As, workshops to masterclasses and we were delighted with contributions from SPARK artists past and present including Richard Chappell, Robyn Olivia, Emma Boor, Morgan & West, Tabby Lamb and Joe Lott. We also provided a platform for theatre companies to show their work including Half Moon Theatre’s Dust , Moulded Theatre’s Swish and Mark Thomas’ Bravo Figaro , Red Shed and Serious Organised Criminal .

Our two young companies worked across the 12-month period and adapted their plans to produce work on the mainstage. 11-15 Young Company’s production of Goldfish was rescheduled to July 21 and 16-25 Young Company created a digital performance Elysium which was streamed in December 20.

We have been commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council for the past six years to produce and tour Under My Skin , a play about adolescent mental health by Ali Taylor, to local schools. Again Covid-19 required us to adapt our plans and this year working with director Emma Webb we produced a film version of the play which will be screened in schools over the Summer 21 term.

The delivery of the Acting Diploma for 16-18s in partnership with boomsatsuma and The River Learning Trust returned to the building in June 2020. This required a rigorous approach to risk management and the initial framework we adopted has served us well as we manage the ongoing assessments of Covid-safe working, teaching and audience environments. The students’ February 2021 productions of Animal Farm and Anna Karenina were rescheduled to May 2021and the July 2020 production of Earthquakes in London has been rescheduled to July 2021. Our long-standing partnership with Magdalen College School to support the delivery of their Theatre Academy annual production was adapted this year and although the academy was not physically in Pegasus, we continue to provide tutors and technical support for their productions.

Our staff team for the most part remains intact, and we have adapted to and invested in home working, different operating platforms and technology over the past year. We launched a new website in May 2020 which greatly assisted our ability to embrace digital formats and communication. We continue to play a key role in the local community and Oxford’s arts ecology and are a member of Oxford’s Cultural Partnership and Cultural Education Partnership and this year joined the newly formed Oxford Culture AntiRacism Alliance.

Financial review

The (£68,986) deficit for the year is reported after charging £170,504 depreciation to the building fund which is a non-cash movement. The cash surplus for the year of £132,635 (2020 (£74,750)) is the result of the continued support throughout the period of our core funders, Arts Council England and Oxford City Council, reductions in overheads during periods of lockdown, reduced programme expenditure due to Covid-19 restrictions and the support for staff retention provided by the government’s Job Retention Scheme.

Reserves Policy

Pegasus Theatre Trust holds reserves in order to provide business stability and to invest in its charitable and artistic activities. The Trustees review the reserve levels of the charity annually. This review encompasses the nature of the income and expenditure streams, the need to match income with commitments and the nature of reserves. The Trustees also take into consideration the future of the charity, the uncertainty over future income streams and other key risks identified during the risk review.

PEGASUS THEATRE TRUST Trustees Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2021

Report of the Trustees (continued)

Total current funds are £2,741,919 of which £2,416,696 is the Designated Building Fund and represents the residual value of grants from Arts Council England, Southeast, The Big Lottery Fund and other donations which contributed to the capital project (2010). The fund is reduced annually by the charge for depreciation of the building.

The Trustees have established that in addition to the general free reserves, there would be three additional designated reserve funds - the strategic fund, the asset replacement fund and the Young Companies’ production fund.

The designated strategic reserve total at March 2021 is £154,184. This is equivalent to 12 weeks of current gross expenditure which is sufficient to meet contractual liabilities should the organisation have to close or cease trading for any period. This includes redundancy pay, amounts due to creditors and commitments under leases. It is the trustees’ intention to maintain this designated strategic fund level at 12 weeks of current gross expenditure.

The designated asset replacement fund total at March 2021 is £44,000. The trustees approved the allocation of an additional £36,603 in this year to the fund for essential maintenance to the now 10-year-old building including repairs to the roof.

The Young Companies’ production fund currently stands at £30,000. This fund can be used over the period of the current five-year business plan, to underwrite Young Company productions at times when other sources of funding may be difficult to secure. The trustees approved the allocation of an additional £3,000 to replenish this fund in this year.

The current level of free reserves is £46,399 and the trustees believe that this is sufficient to maintain working capital for the foreseeable future. It is the trustees’ intention to maintain this reserve between £25,000 and £50,000.

Investment powers and policy

Under the memorandum and articles of association, the trustees of the charity have the power to invest as they see fit in the furtherance of the charity’s objectives. The trustees' investment policy is to obtain as high an income as possible with low risk. Such funds should be easily accessible given the requirement to hold liquid funds to meet cash flow demands and unexpected liabilities. The funds are therefore invested with the Co-operative and Clydesdale Banks. The investments provided a return of 0.35% in the year ended 31st March 2021.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Future plans

The coming year presents new challenges as we rebuild and reengage following the impact of the Covid19 pandemic. During 2021/22 we will focus on:

PEGASUS THEATRE TRUST Trustees Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2021

Report of the Trustees (continued)

Structure, governance and management

Pegasus Theatre Trust is a company limited by guarantee governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 27 March 1995. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. The liability of members in the event of a winding up is limited by guarantee to an amount not exceeding £1 per member. At the balance sheet date there were 10 members.

In October 2014 the company formed a subsidiary, Pegasus Theatre Productions Ltd.

Appointment of Trustees

Pegasus Theatre Trust as a registered charity is governed by a board of trustees who are also directors of the company. Details of the trustees and directors are given on page 1. Each trustee is expected to remain in office for five years and may be re-elected for one further three-year term but may not be re-elected for a further term in office unless exceptional circumstances apply. Recruitment takes place as required and is also informed by a regular skills audit to ensure the changing needs of the organisation can be supported.

All trustees have a discussion with the chair, other members of the board and joint chief executive officers prior to appointment which provides a summary of the trust's development to date and its current position. The new trustees have an opportunity to discuss the issues that arise and ask any questions. New trustees also receive a written role description, details of principal responsibilities and duties, recent minutes, some historical information and the current business plan, as well as the memorandum and articles of association and most recent accounts. All trustees receive an induction, which includes meeting the wider staff team, visits to a variety of Pegasus activities, in-house mentoring and training where necessary. Any trustee who will be in unsupervised contact with young people is required to be checked through the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Organisation

The Board of Trustees administer the charity. The board meets four times a year. In November 2018 the chairs’ committee was disbanded and there are now two sub-committees which allow for more detailed discussion and scrutiny at separate meetings: the finance and resources committee meets four times a year prior to board meetings; the development committee meets four times a year.

The Executive Director as Chief Executive Officer directs the strategic development and day-to-day operations of the charity with the support of the Creative Learning Director and Development Director.

Key Management Personnel Remuneration

The trustees consider the Board of Trustees, Chief Executive Officer, Development Director and Creative Learning Director as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 19 to the accounts.

Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and in accordance with the Trust's policy withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises. The pay of the key management personnel is reviewed annually by the trustees to ensure that it is fair and not out of line with similar roles.

PEGASUS THEATRE TRUST Trustees Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2021

Report of the Trustees (continued)

Related Parties

Arts Council England, Southeast and Oxford City Council provide essential core funding and have nominated representation on the board as non-voting observers.

Details of transactions with these organisations are provided in note 19 to the accounts. The charity has one wholly owned subsidiary which currently does not trade.

The chair of Pegasus Youth Board is co-opted as trustee to the board with full voting rights or as non-voting observer depending on age.

Fundraising Practice

The charity employs a Development Director with the remit to organise and undertake planned fundraising activity. The organisation has signed up to the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice and the Development Director is a member of The Institute of Fundraising. Any direct fundraising marketing is undertaken by the Development Director to ensure it is not unreasonably intrusive or persistent. All fundraising material includes details of how to unsubscribe from all future mailings or contact. There have been no complaints made regarding fundraising activity during the year.

Risk Management

The trustees are responsible for the management of risks faced by the organisation. The board carries out a formal review of the charity's risk management processes on an annual basis and the charity maintains a risk register which is regularly monitored and reviewed by the board.

The key areas of risk where management failure would carry a potential threat to the organisation have been identified as follows: failures in statutory and regulatory compliance regarding the safeguarding of young people, reductions in income generated and failing to respond to changing funding environments, exceeding organisational capacity. The management of risk and the effectiveness of all material internal controls, including operational, financial and compliance controls is ongoing and reviewed and assessed by the senior management team, and is regularly reviewed by the board.

Statement of Trustees responsibilities

The trustees (who are also directors of Pegasus Theatre Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report (incorporating the directors’ report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company 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 charitable company and of the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Pegasus Theatre Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Pegasus Theatre Trust (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

This report is made solely to the Charity’s 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 Charity’s members those matters we are required to state in them in an auditor’s 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’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted out audit in accordance with international Standards in Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

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 charity's 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.

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 out auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information 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 determine whether there is a

8 www.pegasustheatre.org.uk

PEGASUS THEATRE TRUST Trustees Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2021

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 the fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees 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.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 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 be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

9 www.pegasustheatre.org.uk

PEGASUS THEATRE TRUST Trustees Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2021

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/apb/scope/private.cfm This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

PEGASUS THEATRE TRUST Trustees Report and Financial Statements 31 March 2021

Notes to the financial statements

1. Summary of accounting policies

1.1 General information and basis for preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard application in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Whilst it remains the Trustees’ responsibility to prepare the financial statements, in common with many other charities of our size and nature we use our auditors to assist with the preparation of the financial statements.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS 102.

1.2 Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.3 Income recognition

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity where it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.

The charity receives government grants via Arts Council England and Oxford City Council. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met, then these amounts are deferred. Investment income is all earned from cash holdings in bank deposit accounts. Other income includes gains on disposals of tangible fixed assets.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

1.4 Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

Costs of raising grants and donations include salaries, the cost of fundraising events and promotional material.

Expenditure on charitable activity includes production costs, fees paid for received programme, costs in relation to delivery of the participation programme and all other costs directly connected with activity the charity undertakes.

1.5 Support cost allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative and payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Overheads have been allocated on a per capita basis. The analysis of these costs is included in note 5

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

These are included at cost less accumulated depreciation. All fixed assets over £1,000 are capitalised. The company has built a new theatre which was commissioned in May 2010. Costs directly connected with the construction of the new theatre including architects' fees, structural engineers' costs and direct project management costs have been capitalised. Depreciation is calculated to write off their cost over their expected useful lives as follows:

1.7

Fixtures, fittings and equipment 4 years Building 25 years Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Stock consists of purchased goods for resale. 1.8 Leases

Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straightline basis over the period of the lease.

1.9 Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The pension costs charged in the SoFA represent the contributions payable by the company during the year.

2.0 Tax

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

2.1 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
