A quarterly reporting regime is in place between the Charity and its key stakeholder, **Arts Council of Wales (ACW),** along with formal quarterly review meetings and an annual review. The quarterly reviews have been paused until after the outcome of the investment review has been announced. During the annual meeting, senior leaders of WMC and ACW assess performance against agreed objectives and validate objectives for the coming year WMC has met the key objectives set with ACW and has set out objectives for the future to deliver on our vision but also the criteria of the investment review. In addition to these regular meetings both the Managing Director and Artistic Director had very positive first meetings with the new ACW Chief Executive in which they shared future plans and challenges post-pandemic. A joint meeting with ACW and their Welsh government counterpart, Creative Wales, to explore future funding models was also held. The financial support of ACW has been critical to us getting through the past few financial years and we are extremely grateful for their ongoing support. ## **3. Objectives and activities for the public benefit** Wales Millennium Centre is a home for the arts in Wales, and a cauldron of creativity for the nation. We fire imaginations by curating world-class, critically acclaimed touring productions, from musical theatre and comedy to dance, cabaret and an international festival. We kindle emerging talents with fresh, provocative and popular pieces of our own, rooted in Welsh culture. We ignite a passion for the arts in young people with life-changing learning experiences and chances to shine in the spotlight. The Centre is a major tourist attraction for Wales. It aims to be internationally significant, renowned for excellence, leadership, and innovation. Entertaining audiences and attracting visitors from the whole of Wales and well beyond, it will continue to provide a creative home for Wales’s leading arts and cultural organisations. We aim to Inspire Our Nation and Impress the World, creating inspirational and life-changing experiences that broaden horizons. We seek to: - **Be celebrated as one of the leading performing arts centres in the world** - **Create innovative work that showcases Wales to the world** - **Raise the aspiration of every young person in Wales** - **Be accessible to everyone in Wales** 5 Wales MSllennium Centre (Limrted by Guarantee) Annual report ond financlal ststements Year ended 31 March 2023 TRUSTEES.
