Trustees Annual Report and Accounts
September 2020
Obviously, the charity has been unable to run for part of the year due to COVID restriction5. While
preparation for our Senior and Junior shows had to be put on hold, we were delighted to hold the
Christmas show in the Church again. As always. a fabulous end to the autumn term and greatly
appreciated by parent5 and students alike.
We were unable to run our awards night celebrations but are hoping that we can recognise the
achievements of our students in 2021- meeting restrictions permitting.
l am pleased that with the support and diligence of the committee we have moved our finances
even further into a profit position and must thank the efforts of our production teams who managed
to minimise expenditure on shows again this year. We were also delighted in this year to receive
funds from St Neots Golf Club who made us their supported charity in 2019, special thanks to the
Horsler family for making that happen. Over £4.(￿ raised for Riverside which has helped us to keep
money in the bank ready for a Riverside restart.
As a committee we were keen to support our tutors during 2020 and consequently a8reed to pay
half of their normal tutor bills from April to July. We have also ensured in 2021 that all overpaid
sub5 have been re-imbursed so we start the new financial year in the best Posttion.
As always, l am gratefvl for the work of the Tutors who continue to provide enthusiasm and sUPPOrt
for the company. During the first national lockdown we ran Zoom sessions to keep some of the
student5 engaged but the system limitations did not support lon8er term use of this.
l am continuing as Tnjstee of Riverside and am delighted to present the accounts to you on behalf of
Riverside management committee.
