Trustees Report
The Directors / Trustees of the Charity are pleased to present their annual report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2021. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015).
Our purposes and activities
The Charity (Ilkley Players Limited, known as “Ilkley Playhouse”) is established to promote, maintain, improve and advance education, particularly by the production of educational plays and the encouragement of the Arts, including the arts of drama, mime, dance, singing, music and films, and to formulate, prepare and establish schemes therefore, provided that all objects of the Company shall be of a charitable nature.
The Charity owns Ilkley Playhouse and is proud to be a member of the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain.
The vision that shapes our annual activities remains the promotion and fostering of knowledge and appreciation of the arts by provision of facilities in Ilkley for the education and recreation of the public in the fields of drama, music, dance and cinema.
Public benefit
In shaping our objectives for the year (although in Lockdown and therefore closed since March 2020) and planning our activities, the Trustees confirm that they continue to have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit. The Charity is a public benefit entity.
The long-term aim of Ilkley Playhouse is to continue to contribute to the quality of the life of the people of Ilkley and surrounding area through the provision of exciting, challenging, and accessible professional quality and community drama and arts events.
Affordability and access to our programme is important to us and is reflected in our pricing policy. Ilkley Playhouse has always provided concessionary ticket prices to the public at certain play performances for pensioners, students and children. Our Greenroom class fees are kept under review to provide access to all children in the community. Membership of the Greenroom also provides extra discounts on theatre tickets at all performances and we have extended this to a student ticket discount for all productions and performances. Expenses for youth productions are fully funded by the Playhouse to allow participation by all students. New children’s events are competitively priced at a discount on standard prices. Discounted room hire rates are available to local charities, members and community groups on application. We give free guided tours and talks to local groups around West Yorkshire. Our training courses and working parties are either fully-funded or provided at a nominal cost to members.
Pandemic
As our financial year concludes on the 31[st] March, this year has been severely affected by the Covidst 19 virus. The theatre closed from 12 noon on Saturday 21 March 2020 and all remaining productions in our 19/20 season were cancelled. The theatre manager, the Trustees and the Executive Theatre Committee have overseen the period of closure closely, and at the time of signing these accounts it is hoped that the premises can be reopened in May / June 2021.

Trustees Report
An overview of the year
The theatre officially closed on 21[st] March 2020 in line with Government Guidelines for entertainment venues. Trustees, in consultation with staff and volunteers, took steps to access furlough support for all paid employees [Theatre Manager, Admin staff, Facilities and Cleaning staff]. The building was virtually “mothballed” and every effort made to save on costs by reducing energy consumption, cutting back on non-essential maintenance and re-negotiating contracts whenever possible but at the same time protecting the integrity of the building.
When the furlough system became more flexible in Autumn 2020, certain staff once more began to work, mainly from home, to deal with correspondence, membership, and key maintenance issues, while others remain fully on furlough. Every effort was made to secure local and national grants from various funding sources and our membership was approached for voluntary donations. During the course of lockdown, we generated further income via several “in-house” initiatives including a “click and collect” library, baking sales and a 100 Club [details in the Financial Section].
All our usual theatrical events, hires from the community, visiting theatre groups, sponsored activities and community links continue to be on hold at this time and will continue to be so until the Government Road Map allows indoor entertainment to resume in June 2021. Our Artistic Director, Jay Cundell-Walker, has continued to work on deferring and re-arranging our previously planned programme and also on several initiatives which have given actors and writers an opportunity to perform during lockdown [details in a later section].
Throughout this most difficult time the Executive Theatre Committee and Trustees have met via Zoom and our members and the public have been provided with regular updates from Trustees as to how plans for our eventual re-opening are being made. Social media has also played an important part in keeping the community informed of Playhouse news as well as maintaining contact between our actors, directors and artistic committees.
On the more positive side, regular Saturday morning sessions for our young Greenroom actors have been held online from Autumn 2020, initiated and supervised by our two co-ordinators.

Trustees Report
Our volunteers
The Playhouse is staffed mainly by volunteers and relies on voluntary help. Besides those amateur performers, backstage and technical crew, we are greatly indebted to the commitment of the many volunteers who carry out front-of-house duties and administration. We hope that our volunteers have kept safe and well during the past year and will feel happy to return to the Playhouse, working under the new Government guidelines, once we are able to re-open our doors.
Our staff
We greatly value all our key team of part-time employees and we extend our gratitude to their loyalty over the past year. Our theatre manager, who joined us in 2017, has been instrumental in keeping abreast of changing guidelines, risk management and readying the building in preparation for safe reopening.
Plays Report on the Financial Season Apr 2020 – March 2021
Whilst we have been unable to fulfil the programme originally planned for the year, the resilience and inventiveness of members has ensured that the local profile of Ilkley Playhouse has remained high (critical for future success) and has also resulted in a wealth of material being produced for future use.
-
The 8x8x8 playwriting competition, publicised widely via social media, generated outstanding contributions, some of which have been featured on local radio and some which will comprise our first production on re-opening. The winning plays have also been published as a book, available for purchase, with monies raised going towards Playhouse funds.
-
The planned Yorkshire Nativity was curtailed right at the last moment by Tier 3 restrictions but will be repeated in 2021.In the meantime an ‘advent calendar’ of Christmas pieces was shared on Facebook.
-
During a period of relaxation in Covid-19 restrictions, members were able to join forces with Ilkley Manor House for “Bard in The Yard”. This performance had the added benefit of generating £1000 in donations, shared between IP and the Manor House.
-
The play reading committee and casting committee have continued their work so that we have been ready to re-open at any time we were allowed by regulations throughout the closure period.
Financial review
The attached financial statements show the state of finances for the Playhouse. What a strange year, with no play income the Playhouse obviously faced some serious financial questions. Through a combination of significant government support, local fund raising /donations and a tight control of overheads, provided that ‘normality’ resumes during 2021, the financial future looks secure.
Applications for three grants from the Arts Council were made in the year and we were successful in being awarded £60,454 in the Arts Council Cultural Recovery Round 1 of which £54,409 has been received to date. Of this £35,888 was released to income in the year to offset qualifying expenditure with the balance of £18,521 being carried forward to offset expenditure on Q1 21/22 as agreed with the Arts Council. This income, along with local authority (BMDC) Local Restrictions support grants of £24,320, payments through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (furlough) £26,994 to maintain our staff position and local donations/ fundraising activity generated a combined income of £105,379.

Trustees Report
Financial Review (ctd)
Overheads naturally came under significant scrutiny. With the Theatre closed, cash overhead costs were reduced from £135,551 to £109,592 despite over £14,500 in costs to resolve the asbestos removal issue. Depreciation cost was marginally reduced to £20,822.
The net loss for the year was therefore restricted to £26,724.
There was a cash inflow of £2,776 in the year thanks to the Grant support.
We have modelled various alternative cash flow scenarios for the coming year and are expecting a phased reopening as previously identified in this report, which combined with further financial assistance from central/local government as available and continued local fund raising, will hopefully enable a secure future.
Reserves policy and going concern
The Trustees seek sufficient cash reserves to fund the ongoing maintenance of Ilkley Playhouse and fund ongoing productions for the ensuing year in order to satisfy the objectives of the Charity. The policy on reserves is reviewed each year. At present the free reserves (that is those funds not invested in fixed assets and restricted funds) at 31[st] March 2021 amount to £124,507. This level of reserves is considered sufficient to cover resources expended for a further 12 months and to allow some additional expenditure on capital items in 2021/22. At this level, the Trustees feel that the activities of the Charity would be able to continue following the start-up expected mid 2021 due to the Covid 19 impacts.
Play selection and structure of the season is being kept under constant review to ensure continuity of income. Further fund raising will be considered to help fund any long term large capital projects as appropriate.
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have followed the Financial Reporting Council – Guidance on the going concern basis of accounting and reporting on solvency and liquidity risks (April 2016) in conducting their review.
The Trustees have reviewed cashflow scenarios projected forward to June 2022. These scenarios consider the impact of Covid 19 on the Government restrictions that would limit trading activity within the Theatre premises.
The Trustees are committed to reducing overheads whilst the premises cannot be fully operational. Under all scenarios the Trustees have concluded that Ilkley Players Ltd continues to be a going concern, despite a reduction in unrestricted reserves.

Governing document
Ilkley Players Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and by its Rules and Constitution approved by the members in May 2003.

Appointment of trustees and Executive Committee members
The Annual General Meeting is held annually, within 15 months of the previous one. In 2020 it was deferred from its planned date of 16[th ] June because of the Covid-19 rules and took place in September. The 2021 meeting returns to the usual meeting month of June – but will be held online due to Covid-9 restrictions. As set out in the Articles of Association, Committee members and officers are elected to post at the Annual General Meeting each year by a simple majority of the members of the charitable company present, eligible to vote and voting. The officers shall hold office for a period not exceeding two years when each shall retire, but shall be eligible for re-election.
All members are circulated with invitations to nominate trustees and Executive Committee members (ETC) prior to the AGM advising them of the retiring trustees and requesting nominations for the AGM. The addition of two Community Trustees appointed to the Board of Trustees allows us to tap into good sources of professional advice and diminish the risks of complacency. When considering appointing Community trustees, the Board has regard to the requirement for any specialist skills needed.
The President is elected at the Annual General Meeting and shall be an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees. He/she shall hold office for a period not exceeding two years when he/she shall retire, but shall be eligible for re-election. The Chairman of the ETC will hold office for a period not exceeding two years and will be eligible for re-election in that post. Two Playhouse members will be elected as member Trustees and these members will be re-electable every two years. The Artistic Director is elected to serve on the ETC. The Chairman of Trustees will be appointed from the two elected member trustees and the two Community trustees.
Trustee induction and training
New trustees undergo briefings on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and to inform them on the constitution, committee and decision-making processes and recent financial performance of the Charity. They meet key employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
Organisation
The Board of six Trustees meets several times a year and takes strategic and financial decisions on the administering of the Charity. The Executive Theatre Committee also meets regularly and takes decisions on the day-to-day running of the Playhouse. In addition, there are five sub-committees – Finance, Play Selection, Casting, Publicity, and Facilities (House), whose activities and proceedings are reported back and decisions ratified by the Board of Trustees and the Executive Theatre Committee.

REPORT and FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year to 31st March 2021
Independent Examiner's report to the members and trustees on the accounts of Ilkley Players Limited
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021 set out on pages 10 to 17.
Respective responsibilities of trustees (directors) and examiner
As described on page 8, the trustees (who are also the company's directors for the 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 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 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 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2001 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was conducted in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An 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 whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In our connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1). Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(a) to keep accounting records kept by the company in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and (b) 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 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.
have not been met; or
- (2). To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
