Educational and Youth Work
Riding Lights Education works with both young people and adults to offer theatrical opportunities for the York community and beyond. The work includes a broad spectrum of drama workshops as well as full scale productions. Since 2000, with the purchase of Friargate Theatre and the creation of the education department Riding Lights has continued to partner with both primary and secondary schools to deliver workshops and support teachers across the curriculum.
Four youth theatre courses are run during each term of the year. Some courses are entirely skills-based, others lead to productions mounted at Friargate Theatre.
The courses are as follows: School years 7 - 9 (JYT) School years 10 upwards (SYT) Acting Up! (age 14-18) Acting Up! (age 18-25)
Acting Up! is the only Youth Theatre provision in York for young people with additional needs. In August 2019 - March 2020 Riding Lights did not receive funding to support the groups and covered the costs in-house. A staff member raised over £1,000 towards the ongoing costs through a sponsored half-marathon. Attempts to secure longer term funding have not been successful. From September 2019 to February 2020, curriculum drama teaching at The Minster School was suspended following a change in leadership at the school. After-school clubs and the Minster Youth Theatre remained, but it represented a real loss in income for our education department. The annual school production was planned for performances in Friargate Theatre. Rehearsals in class time resumed in February 2020 only to be suspended due to the lockdown in March 2020. The Minster School closed permanently in Summer 2020 as a consequence of Covid19.
An expansion of Education work in schools in the region was planned for the Spring and Summer of 2020, in part to cover the loss of the Minster School teaching income. An R&D project plan was developed to create a series of workshops for primary children covering transition and emotional resilience, which has been offered partial funding by The Westhill Foundation.
All sessions were suspended in March 2020, with three of the four annual productions cancelled. The Big Yorkshire Youth Theatre Festival was also cancelled.
Abi Oscroft, the full-time Youth Theatre Practitioner left Riding Lights in September 2020. Online sessions have resumed since September 2020, led by a freelance practitioner and the Riding Lights Creative Associates.
The department benefits from the assistance of volunteers, who provide valuable experience to those individuals taking part.
Details of the significant activities planned during the twelve months were as follows:
Rumours Of Polar Bears — Senior Youth Theatre production Al !s In Wonderland — Junior Youth Theatre production (Cancelled) Planned Acting up! production (Cancelled)
Around The World In 80 Days — Minster School (Cancelled)
Summer Theatre School
The Riding Lights Summer Theatre School was delivered online for the first time owing to the pandemic. There were 53 participants. This was significantly fewer than would normally be expected for a residential course. Nonetheless the capacity for online was at maximum. The company delivered an innovative and technically challenging set of performances. Many important lessons were learned for future work
An anonymous donor has continued to fund free places for people who are not in full time work or education, and special dispensation was given to allow funding of partial or full bursaries for several young people whose incomes were affected by the pandemic. The week culminated in an online evening festival of theatre in which all participants shared the work they had created during the week.

Use of Volunteers
Riding Lights is widely supported by many people across the country who help by providing a wide range of valuable resources, particularly when Riding Lights visits local communities. We are particularly grateful for the generous provision of accommodation and hospitality made to our acting companies as well as to those who organise performances of our work in their area.
The educational department also benefits from the assistance of volunteers, who provide valuable experience to those individuals taking part.
Achievements and performance
Riding Lights Productions
The Kaleidoscope Tour was funded by The Anchor Foundation to re-rehearse and adapt the show to go into prisons. The company was able to tour in January and February but the latter part of the tour was cancelled. £5,000 of the grant was spent on this leg of the tour. In March 2021, The Anchor Foundation gave permission for the remaining £4,200 to be reallocated to filming content for prison broadcast networks.
The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde was adapted for stage by Jon Boustead. It toured junior schools, primarily in North Yorkshire throughout December, including public performances at Friargate Theatre. The St Michael le Belfrey annual Carol Service always attracts a large congregation. This year the service was live streamed via Facebook. Over 1,000 people attended.
A new production of The Narrow Road by Paul Birch was booked for a national tour. The tour was cancelled after one performance in York.
The Spring Harvest organisation proceeded online. Riding Lights had already filmed some content for the theme song with other performers. Subsequently, the Company filmed sketches and readings in a socially distanced manner.
A decision was made to make archive content available free online as a resource to the wider church. Video Vaults and Colour Radio were launched on social media and promoted by Premier Radio.
Educational Programme
Riding Lights Youth Theatre and Education department has continued to teach theatre skills both in the community and in schools. Riding Lights Junior and Senior Youth Theatre have weekly sessions for approximately 40 young people. Acting Up! Youth Theatre Practitioner engages with 22 young people who have additional needs and disabilities.
As a consequence of the pandemic all RL educational work was suspended from March 2020 until the Autumn.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
Financial review
Riding Lights aims to cover all its costs through a mixture of the regular donated income received from Membership and irregular income from one-off donations as well as earned income from projects and productions. The Company aims to ensure that the core costs of operating Riding Lights (Administration, Friargate Theatre, Company Vehicles, Staff etc.) are broadly covered by regular and one-off giving. Any shortfall is met by profit from projects and productions. This surplus is intended principally to support new productions, which is essential if the Company is to invest in and remain creatively active. Riding Lights costs are kept to a minimum while also ensuring that staff are paid, as a bare minimum, in accordance with the recommendations of the Living Wage Foundation to which the companyis affiliated.
Despite the pandemic, regular income has remained steady. We continue to seek increased Membership which enables us to predict regular giving. As a consequence of not touring during the pandemic, there has been no increase in Membership since March 2020. Many Members have increased their giving during this season or sent additional one-off gifts, for which we are grateful. Regular fundraising continues alongside grant applications.
The government furlough scheme has covered a significant percentage of staff salaries, making it possible to retain the whole staff without redundancy or reducing salaries. The decision was taken to pay staff at 100% of their usual income despite the insecurities of the future. The company made up the additional 20%, taking the view that staff members who are on relatively low salaries would find it difficult to take a 20% cut in income.
Riding Lights has benefited from a reduction in business rates and the government furlough scheme. During the first lockdown, the majority of the team took furlough. The Company Administrator and a part-time Office Assistant were retained to ensure the continued running of the company.
Members of the team undertook significant training during furlough to adapt their skills to filmmaking and digital output. The team was un-furloughed for sprint periods of delivery for projects, enabling the company to make film during the first part of the pandemic. This was vital to maintaining our Membership, partner venues and audiences. The adaptation of the furlough scheme to flexible-furlough from mid-summer onwards further benefited the company, allowing work and training to continue side by side.
Irregular income including external funding, grants, donations and partnerships are crucial as a support for the whole organisation. During this period significant one-off, anonymous donations were made to support the company. £100,000 was given to provide a production fund for a large national tour. The gift has not been restricted but the company has designated £70,000 which is the anticipated cost of the tour. A further gift of £25,000 was given to fund film making for prison broadcast networks. A further large, unrestricted gift arrived the following day which would enable the purchase of kit and training to develop the film work. Prison work within the Kaleidoscope Tour was supported by The Anchor Foundation. Riding Lights has also benefited from one-off legacy gifts.
The Board's current strategy is to:
-
Increase regular income by finding more members and encouraging all members to consider their level of contribution. - Seek additional funding from and partnerships with other organisations to support our work.
-
Ensure all projects are more profitable wherever possible.
-
Refine the management of the core organisation to ensure we are as efficient as possible.
It is the poticy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's fixed costs expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The company's memorandum and articles of association give the charity the power to make any investment which the trustees think fit. At the present time no such investments are held.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Plans for the Future
Forward-planning has been severely disrupted by the pandemic. Adaptations to some projects have been possible, while others remain postponed until regular touring can resume.
Autumn 2020 - Youth Theatre online sessions begin.
Winter 2020 - The Selfish Giant - Oscar Wilde adapted by Jon Boustead — theatre on film for primary schools and families in the UK, with accompanying creative resources.
Winter 2020 - Publish for download and hard copy - Add Drama to Christmas online - Sketch collection as well as a Christmas film for Prison use.
Jan 2021 - Begin work on Al project for Templeton Foundation. Possible delivery of tour in Spring 2022. February - April 2021 Breaking Day — a lockdown Passion Play for church groups and individuals in the UK. April 2021 — Spring Harvest Home — online sketches and bible readings for main sessions. May 2021 — Theatre-on-film adaptation of Pericles, Prince of Tyre for York International Shakespeare Festival Spring/Summer 2021 — Filming for Prisons (short films for different priority groups). Summer 2021 — Launch Riding Lights new website and branding.
Summer/Autumn 2021 Phased return of Acting Up!, Youth Theatres and re-opening of the building. August 2021 - Riding Lights Summer Theatre School, at Harrogate Ladies’ College and online. Autumn 2021 - My Place — partnership with Home For Good — national tour (postponed from Autumn 2020). Autumn — School show/tour/film.
Winter 2022 — Al — show/tour/film.
Ambition remains to re-mountAll’s Well That Ends Well (2019) for a European Summer Tour and revive the partnership with York Walls for a Youth Theatre project and Primary School tour.
Increasing costs and cultural change continue to be significant drivers in leading the Riding Lights Board to review its pattern of work. Over the course of the year several members of staff have left to pursue further education and the team is very small. It will need to expand by one or two people in the coming year to carry the work that is anticipated.
Bernadette Burbridge continues to mentor the company administrator and provide financial oversight. Artistic Director Paul Burbridge is expected to reduce working hours during 2021, while continuing to mentor for a limited time and to oversee the creative development of a number of projects.

Structure, governance and management
The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 23rd June 1998 and is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 2nd June 1998.
It was acknowledged by the Trustees that the charitable objects, while technically accurate, no longer articulated the ethos of the company’s work. Over twenty years the specific language has developed inferences of proselytising that is not consistent with the work and that is easily misunderstood. This has been identified as a specific block to some sources of funding. A motion was passed to agree a rewording of the charity’s third article. The charitable objects were amended in accordance with the Charity Commission guidelines in July 2019. The third article now reads:
- to explore, principally through the dramatic arts, the relevance of the Christian faith to contemporary life and its potential to effect positive change.
The company began to operate on 1 November 1998 when the assets and liabilities of Riding Lights Trust (a registered charity) and Riding Lights Theatre Company Limited with the exception of its stock of merchandise were transferred to the company. The Riding Lights Theatre Company Limited then changed its name to Riding Lights (Trading) Limited. Riding Lights (Trading) Limited was dissolved on 16 December 2008.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
MrAPN Dunn
MrA J Bradley Mrs B C G Burbridge Mr P A Burbridge Mr S M H Cavanagh
Mr J C Emmett Mr M J Hands Miss S R Hoyland Mr D J Lampitt Mrs Y P L Morley-Chisholm
All directors of the company are also trustees of the charity and there are no other trustees. The Board has the power to appoint additional trustees as it considers fit to do so.
In accordance with the provisions of the company's Articles of Association any newly appointed trustees shall hold office until the next Annual General Meeting and shall not be taken into account in determining the board members who are to retire by rotation at the meeting. If not reappointed at such Annual General Meeting, they shall vacate office at the meeting thereof.
In accordance with these provisions David Lampitt, Andrew Bradley, Susie Hoyland and Yvonne MorleyChisholm retire from office by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, but without prejudice to any indemnity to which a board member may otherwise be entitled, every board member or other officer or auditor of the Charity shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Charity against any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgement is given in his favour or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application in which relief is granted to him by the court from liability for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the affairs of the Charity, and against all costs, charges, losses, expenses or liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto.

RIDING LIGHTS
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
The trustees have complied with the duty imposed upon them by Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission including the guidance issued in respect of public benefit.
The trustees meet regularly to manage the charity's affairs and delegate the day-to-day running of the charity's activities to its executive and artistic directors and administrative staff.
Riding Lights is a theatre company with a Christian ethos and it is important that Trustees who join the Board share the Company's beliefs and objectives.
Potential new Trustees are identified from amongst the long-term, active supporters of Riding Lights. The Board seeks to maintain a balance of knowledge and experience relevant to particular aspects of the Company's activities; for example: Finance, Personnel, Education, etc.
Potential Trustees are invited by the Chairman to think and pray about their possible deeper involvement with the Company. Those who accept are invited to attend a Board meeting to see what goes on and how the Board operates. Once they have formally decided to accept the invitation, they are encouraged to attend as many of the meetings as possible. Inevitably not everyone can attend every meeting. Meeting dates are agreed a year in advance, with some six meetings each year. Minutes and review notes are circulated to all members of the Board on a regular basis.
There is no formal training programme for new trustees, but they are all selected from individuals who have supported or worked with Riding Lights in different capacities in the past. They are therefore already familiar with the broad outlines of the company's activities. Initially they work alongside more experienced members of the Board on sub-committees or in exploring specific issues.
Anumber of the charity's trustees invoiced the charity for various fees and expenses, the details of which are disclosed in note 10.
Asset cover for funds
Note 21 sets out an analysis of the assets attributable to the various funds. These assets are sufficient to meet the charity's obligations on a fund by fund basis.
The trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

Charity information
Riding Lights is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Friargate Theatre, Lower Friargate, York, YO1 9SL, UK.
1.1 Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document dated 2 June 1998, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
- 1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3. Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
The company has a number of restricted income funds to account for situations where a donor requires that a donation must be spent on a particular expense or where funds have been raised for a specific purpose.
Where monies are received as a contribution towards the general costs of a specific performance or project, the money is held as restricted funds until such a time that the nominated performance or project has finished. When the performance or project has finished the monies are transferred into unrestricted funds. :
All other income funds are unrestricted unless designated by the trustees.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
- 1.4 Income
.
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

- 1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
A grant which specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised asa liability.
Incoming resources from charitable activities comprises of income from ticket sales, memberships, theatrical services and hire of theatre space. Income is recognised on a receivable basis.
- 1.5 Expenditure

1.6 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| Freehold jand and buildings | Straight line over 50 years - allocated against restricted |
|---|---|
| funds | |
| Lighting and equipment | Straight line over 10 years |
| Fixtures and fittings | Straight line over 5 years |
| Motorvehicles | Straightlineover5years |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
- 1.8 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost , comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.
