Public benefit The organisation's tnjstees can confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission. Significant activities that we undertook during the year that demonslrate public benefit are set out on the following pages. Slgnlflcant actlvltles updats The Circus Village In March and April 2023, with support from the Arts Council of Wales. Arts Council England, Creative Scotland and the Welsh Government, the charity Staged another Circus Village sectoral support project in Swansea. The 2023 Circus Village brought together over 180 circus artists from all over Britain lo live and work together and culminated in a four-day circus festival on Ihe Circus Village sile. The festival launched the 2023 tour of Sabotsge alongside perfomiances from six other companies and a sectoral networking day. Sabotage The production began its second year of touring as part of the Circus Willage in Swansea before moving on to Bristol. Lyon. Antwerp and Prague. The tour included 87 performances with a total audience ofjust under 50.000 This was the company's first intemalional tour since B￿xit and starkly revealed the wide range of challenges companies now face when touring into the EU. Bamboo Bamboo continued ils series of creative development labs throughout the summer, bringing togetherdifferent combinations of artists with different combinations of circus skills and incorporating different kinds of bamboo to discover the shape of a new productson. By the end of the summer 2023 we had the outline ol an exciting new production and funding was secured Wales to move into a new production ready to tour in 2024. The new production was supported by a commission from Without Walls and the ongoing partnership with Imagineer who co-produced and financially supported the creation of the new show. Bamboo is a spectacular high-impact, high-skill outdoorcircus production using only bamboo and human bodies- revealing the fragility and beauty of our interconnected and interdependent life on this planet. The artists arrive at an empty stage, bringing bundles of bamboo. They build towering sculptures which morph, transform and become an improbable, delicate circus playground that seems to defy the laws of physics. Page 1 NOFIT STATE COMMUNITY CIRCUS LTD AND SUBSIDIARY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant aetivitie$ update (continued} Bamboo is a partnership between NoFit State, Imagineer and Orit Azaz.

Autumn 2023 and earty spring 2024 saw ongoing workshop periods and production developmenl lead by Tom Rack and Oril Azaz as co-Artistic Directors and Mish Weaver as director and premiered in May 2024. The Communlty Programme The community programme extended and strengthened ils new focus. The ongolng supporl from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and project funding secured from a wide variety of sources enabled the charity to embed ils new practise and strengthen the range of partnerships and programmes within our hyper local communities in Adamsdown, Splott and Tremorfa. In summer 2023 the Company secured funding from Ihe Arts Council of Wales via the Connect and Flourish programme to develop a new Creative partnership in East Cardiff - Y Filllir Sgwar and maintain the programme for another 14 months. The programme partners that began fomially working together in summer 2023 included Oasis, Llamau. Adamsdown Primary School, Cardiff Community Housing Association, the Welsh Refugee Council. Green Squirrel, lo¢al PCSOS, local Councillors Grace Ferguson-Thorne and Owen Jones, and free-lancers AF Maugran. Francis Maxey, and Stacey Blythe. The new partnership began w5th Gweldd Parc Feast- a daylong celebration of Ihe local communities and cultures of East Cardiff. Incorporating dance. music. circus, storytelling and 8 community feast. Gweldd Parc Feast took over Anderson Fields for an entire day in September 2023 and attracted approximately 3.500 local residents lo the celebration. This was followed ir) Feb 2024 with Golau Parc Light. Over two evenings Brewery Park was filled with light sculptures and fires shows, circus. music. storytelling and magic. The evening was co- created with the local community with community groups and primary schools composing music. C￿ating light installations and projections onlo houses around the park. building the fire sculptures, performing within the event. These public events were linked by a programme of open and free to access workshops and creative sessions throughoul Easl Cardiff. The winter programme using Four Elms as a creative warm space was maintained for a second year. The weekly open access days included creative workshops, hotdesking space for local free-lancers, and a free lunch. Attendance throughout the winter demonstrated again how desperately needed this was with hundreds of people coming into Four Elms to build relationships with their neighbours within a creative spa¢6. The ongoing programme of paid for classes continued throughoul the year and class attenders created pieces of perfoman¢e which We￿ performed in both Gweldd, Golau, and the company Christmas Cabaret. Volunteers NoFit state Clrcvs enjoys the support of a wide range of volunteers. Volunteers provide staff support, work alongside tutors to deliver our community and educalion programme, support the company on tour. and engage in fundraising activities. Many activities I projects are initially supported by volunteers until funding can be secured or eamed income generated to make them financially sustainable. The volunteer programm8 during the year was strongly connected to the redevelopment of the community programme. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE The 22-23 tour of Sabotage was the company's second fvll tour and first to include intemational perforrnances after Covld. Suttessfully nawgating post-Brexit complexities took considerable effort - in¢luding letters from DCMS and funders to enable international performances to go ahead. Within the UK. 26Yo of the audience attended with the support of the voucher scheme which provides free licket5 to people in absolute financial need Ifoodbank users, refugees and asylum seekers. etc), and 25Yo attended with a postcode largeted discount ticket. Thu5 51 Yo of the total UK audience were people experiencing real financial hardship (up from 43.54Q/o the previous yearl. This is a significantly higher /0 than in any pre- Covid year and reveals the level of need created by the cost-of-living Crisis. The refocussed community programme enabled the charity to support some of the most vulnerable people within one of the poorest communtties in Wales. The sustained prograrnme ofwork began to demonstrate real impact as new community networks were developed and new approaches to collaborative working developed. The most tangible output was a new Community leaflet produced by the company sharing information on all free-to-access school holiday activity in East Cardiff.

Secretary Page 5 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF NOFIT STATE COMMUNITY CIRCUS LTD AND SUBSIDIARY Opinion We have audited the financial statements of NoFit State Community Circus Ltd {Ih8 'parent charitable company'l and its subsidiaries (the 'group'} for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise Ihe Consolidaled Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, induding Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Slandard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion Ihe financlal statements-. give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and parenl charilable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024, and of the group'$ incoming resources and application of resources, inciuding its income and expenditure. for the year then ended., have been properfy prepared in accordan￿ with United Klngdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. and have been prepared in accordance with the requlrements of the Companies Act 2006 Basls for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Intemalional Standards on Auditing (UK) IISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that the trustees. use of the going concem basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed. we have not identified any malerial uncertainties relating to events or conditions that. individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's ability lo continue as a going ¢on¢em for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the ffinancial statements are aulhorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the twstees with respect to going concem are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the infomiation included in the Report of the Trustees, other than the financial statements and our audilor's report the￿On. Our opinion on Ihe financial statements does not cover the olher information and, ex￿pt to the extent otheNise explicitly staled in our report, we do not express any fomi of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so. consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we idenlify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstalemenls, we are required to determine whether there is a material mi5s1atement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If. based on the work we have performed, we condude that there is a material misstaiement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Oplnlons on other matters prescribed by the Companles Act 2006 In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the infomiation given in the Report of Ihe Trustees (incorporating the directors, report) for the financial yearfor which the financial statements are prepared is consislenl with the finanaal statements: and the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Page 6 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF NOFIT STATE COMMUNITY CIRCUS LTD AND SUBSIDIARY Matters on which we are requlred to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of Ihe charitable company and its environment obtained In the course of the audil, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing lo report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 ￿qUIreS us lo report to you if. in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches nol visited by us., or the parent charilable company's financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums; or certain disclosures of trustees. remuneration specified by law are not made., or we have not received all the infomation and explanations we require for our audit., or the tnjstees were not entitled to take advantage of Ihe small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. Responslbllitles of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the putposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such inlernal control as the trustees dete￿Ine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related to going con¢em and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do so. Our responslbilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that 2n audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always delecl a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or ewor and are considered malerial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outtined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The specific proCedU￿S for Ihis engagement and the extent to which these are capable of dele¢ting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below: We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities forfraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and delemiined that the principal risks were related to posting inaccurate joumals. We addressed these risks by carrying out specifically targeted procedures. which included- Enquiries of management. those charged with g0Veman￿ around actual and potential litigation and claims., Perfomiing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias., Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance. Evaluating the reasons for any large or unusual transactions: Reviewing financial statement disdosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities. including those leading to a material misstatement in Ihe financial slatemenls or non-compliance with regulation. The risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slatements as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresentations.

Significant aecountlng ludgements and estimates Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and a￿ based on historical experiencg and other relevant factors. including expectations of fvlure events that are believed to be reasonable under the ¢ir¢umslances. The preparation ofthe financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estirnales will, by definition, be likely to differ from the related actual results. No estimates or assumptions have been identified that have significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
