(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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

3.1.
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently
throughout the year and the preceding year.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
3.2.
3.3.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the
income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to
particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of
financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific
performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of
services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, were recognised in full in the statement of financial
activities in the year in which they are receivable. In 2009 this policy was changed relating to grants for the
purchase of fixed assets - these are now treated as deferred income and released at the same rate as the asset is
being depreciated.
Income from the charity shop is included in the year in which it is receivable.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
