Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation (A company limited by guarantee Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year ended 31 March 2025 The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. Structure, governance and management The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 29 May 1998 and registered as a charity on 20 October 1999. Director and Trustees At the 1st April 2024 there were seven Directors/Trustees, Bianca Beckles-Rose, Donna-Maria Crookes, Cheryl Yvonne Govan, David Page, Katie Pekacar, Anna Marie Shields and Melanie Southan. Laura Perry was appointed a Director/Trustee on 2nd April 2024. Katie Pekacar resigned as Director/Trustee on 15th April 2024 and Melanie Southan on 27th April 2024. Roger Philip Weeks was appointed a Director/Trustee on 18th September 2024 and Daisy Barrett-Nash on 21st January 2025. David Page and Roger Weeks also sat as "full" members of the Management Committee, which deals with the day-to-day work of the organisation. The Trustees have the power to appoint additional trustees as they consider appropriate to do so, and to co-opt people onto the Management Committee. Management Committee In addition to David Page and Roger Weeks (appointed to the Management Committee in September 2024) the Management Committee comprised during the course of the year, Joanne Boon, Sheril Chase, Adrienne Cluer and Lynda Morgan (also finance officer). Public Benefit making a positive contribution to society. Objectives and activities The charity's objects and its principal activity continue to be that of working locally with young people to develop physical and social skills primarily through the arts, and in particular those involved in theatre. This is done through workshop sessions and productions on CYTO's premises and, when possible, through similar activities in other centres i production on to premind and, for young people, i.e. schools, colleges and youth centres. CYTO was originally established in 1965 and registered as a company in 1998 and as a charity in 1999. 222223 The charity is organised so that the Trustees meet regularly and liaise with the Management Committee who manage the day to day running of the charity's affairs. Achievements and performance Funding A large amount of the organisation's income was earned from the hire of spaces within the organisation's premises. But additionally individuals and organisations gave valuable financial support to CYTO through standing orders and one-off donations. Page 2

Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation (A company limited by guarantee Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year ended 31 March 2025 Staffing The charity itself has no permanent or full-time employees. Andrew McPherson continued as part time artistic director working three and a half days a week for the organisation. Katharine Fry continued as part-time office assistant until August 2024. Alfiah Brown continued to be engaged by CYTO as a freelance tutor for Friday night workshops for the summer term but was replaced by Tatiana Ellis for the following autumn and spring terms. Yuxuan Liu continued as a freelance IT assistant throughout the year. Volunteers and Supporters CYTO could not have continued without the practical contributions of the Directors/Trustees/ Management Committee. The organisation was also assisted by a host of other volunteers. Among them were Josh Dighton, Teejay Hurley and David Morgan. All these people made specific, sometimes project-based, voluntary contributions of time and skills to the running of CYTO including 'front-of-house' duties for productions, admin., displays, archive maintenance, door-duty, wardrobe, small building maintenance tasks, fundraising, specialist technical help in the theatre and, most importantly, management of CYTO's funds. A very approximate estimate of the value of voluntary contributions of this kind has resulted in a figure of €60,000 for the year. Programme CYTO pursues its objectives through a programme of performances and theatre productions with associated workshop sessions in which young people learn relevant performance and technical skills as well as developing an understanding of teamwork, an appreciation of and respect for the skills of others, a sense of both personal and team achievement and an enjoyment of wider horizons and new experiences.

Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation (A company limited by guarantee) Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year ended 31 March 2025 Productions, Projects and Events CYTO presented a devised perambulatory show about the environment, as part of Stanley Arts "Arcadia" project in various spaces in Stanley Arts' premises during the Easter holidays. This was followed by a second showing of "Kiss, Marry, Push Off Cliff" again during the Easter holidays at Southwark Playhouse as part of the National Theatre's Connections scheme but did not progress further. During the summer term the members rehearsed and then performed "A Portrait of Dorian Gray" at the end of July 2023. In early July CYTO had a stall at South Norwood Festival to help publicise CYTO and was a beneficiary of the financial proceeds of the Festival raffle. Workshops, entitled Excel, continued throughout the year for older members to learn how to create events and a budget was given to them to enable them to do this. Events they produced during the year were a Saturday afternoon of circus skills workshops and a similar afternoon but this time with a variety of workshops. And as part of the Excel sessions a Youth Board was set up during the year to deal with members' issues and for a representative to liaise with and attend meetings of the Management Committee to put forward the members' views. In August CYTO again ran a two week summer scheme, "Summer Sizzle", which produced two original one act plays which were presented at the end of the second week and involved employing a number of theatre creatives teaching backstage skills and the artistic director and Daisy Barrett Nash writing up the members' ideas and directing the shows. During the autumn term some members took part in a film project funded by friends of South Norwood Country Park set in the park and directed by Rikki Beadle-Blair. Following rehearsals during the autumn term CYTO presented "A Hint of Snow White" in December directed by Andrew McPherson, with Vanessa Heine as musical director. During the autumn term CYTO again signed up to take part in the National Theatre's Connections scheme. "Ravers" was chosen and following rehearsals during the spring term was presented at The Shoestring in March 2025. Workshops The workshop programme ran throughout the year in CYTO's building led by Alfiah Brown, Tatiana Ellis, Henry Wong and Andrew McPherson. This programme continued to offer opportunities to members to learn skills in acting, technical theatre and producing events. In addition weekly playwriting workshops, entitled Write Up, were added in April 2024 and monthly playreadings, entitled Aloud, led by Norman Murray, in January 2025. Membership The basic fee remained at £60.00 per term but due to the increasing costs of running the organisation the Management Committee reluctantly agreed to increase the fee to a member taking part in more than one activity to f80 per term. In the course of the year around 100 different young people were 'paid-up' members of CYTO with an average of 70 per term. A bursary scheme continued to be run during the year funded by a private donation. Page 4

Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation (A company limited by guarantee) Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year ended 31 March 2025 Future Developments (April 2025 onwards) CYTO will be taking "Ravers" (see Productions/Projects/Events above) to Theatre Peckham in April 2025 for the next round of the National Theatre's Connections scheme. In the summer term there will be no Friday night drama workshops. Instead there will be rehearsals for "Diamonds" CYTO's 60th anniversary show to be staged in September 2025. As well as the usual workshops on Saturdays there will also be rehearsals for "The Resurrection Mystery" to be presented in July 2025. The usual tech workshops will continue on Mondays. The Excel group would look into how the party after "Diamonds" should be staged. In this way CYTO will be continuing the provision of out-of-school opportunities for young people in Croydon which it has been offering for nearly sixty years and which allows its members to engage in the performing arts in a friendly, safe and secure space. The organisation will also continue to pursue ways to secure the necessary resources, (financial, human and bricks and mortar) to meet its core objectives. In addition CYTO will seek to expand hiring out its building for rehearsals, research and development of new performance work, fostering collaborations with local performers and companies and generally acting as an arts hub for the local community. The development of this as a source of income is however still hampered by the condition of the building and, in particular, by the inflexible and costly heating system and the lack of cooling/insulation from high external temperatures but it is hoped the new long lease will allow the organisation to obtain capital grants to rectify at least some of these defects. Financial review Transactions and Financial Plan The statement of financial activities shows net income over expenditure of f20,808. The unrestricted funds balance stands at £39,850 and the restricted funds at £36,140 which have yet to be fully utilised. Funds Available The opening bank balances stood at £50,320 as at 1st April 2024 and had increased to f74,774 as at 31st March 2025. Non-cash support Croydon Council continued to provide free "statutory" maintenance checks for the emergency lighting and fire alarm, legionella testing and portable appliance testing etc. up until the grant of the new lease and thereafter continued to carry these out for a year at a fixed fee. Croydon Council also carried out repairs to the organisation's premises, The Shoestring Theatre until the grant of the new lease. In addition CYTO benefitted from 'gifts in kind' in the form of time and services from volunteers and donated goods. Premises CYTO's continued to hire out The Shoestring to the community when it was not being used by the members. As a charity CYTO received relief from the majority of its business rates. Repair work was carried out to The Shoestring throughout the year. Planning permission was obtained during the year for a new frontage and signage at The Shoestring and the Greater London Authority agreed to fund this work including a new fire alarm system connected to the new automatic front doors. Work is scheduled to start in April 2025. Croydon Council The Trustees and the Management Committee acknowledge with gratitude the continued support of Croydon Council. Page 5

Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation (A company limited by guarantee) Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year ended 31 March 2025 Statement of trustees' responsibilities The trustees (who are also directors of Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally 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 incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which 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. Small company provisions This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. This report was approved by the Board on 25 November 2025 and signed on its behalf by David Pag Secretary Page 6

Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation (A company limited by guarantee) Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation. I report on the accounts of Croydon Youth Theatre Organisation for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 2 to Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is required by company law to prepare accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act; to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's statement My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or (ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be David Weeden F.C.A.
