OBJECTIVES ACTIVITIES
The charity's objectives are to promote. maintaiffj improve, and advance education, particularly by the
production of educational plays and througb the encouragetnent of th¢ arts, kncludjng the arts of
dram4 mime. dance. singing and music, and to forn]ulate. prepare and establish schemes therefore
provided that all objects of the Charity shall be of a charitable nature.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on piiblic
benefit when reviewing our objectives and in planning our future activities. Th¢ theatre relies on
admission fees and hire charges to cover its operating costs and when setting the level of fees, hire
charges and concessions. the directors balance carefully the operating costs with accessibility lo the
theatre for a broad range of the local community and for local groups wisliing to hire the theatre space.
The strategies employed to further the charity's objertives include:
the pres¢ntation of a broad range of theatre productions for the enjoyment and education of the
local community.
offer opportunities for a widc range of people to become involved in fomis of arts activity.
the provision of facilities for amateur a[￿ professional artists and groups to present their own
production. and
4. provide a venue for artistic displays.
ACHIEVEMENTS IIND PERFORIWCE
Halifax Thespians have continued nornial activities during the year. The company presented a varied
programme of five productions on the main stage and two in the studio bar. The theatre was hired by
a number of local COmTnunity groups including musical theatre societies, as well as many professional
companies.
The The5pians' main stage productions during the accounting period attracted an average audience of
34.90/0, which is a slight improvement on the previous year but is again very disappointing. We
continue to strive to ensure that we off¢r a varied and attractive programme. Th¢ income fro￿ hiring
the theatre was very encouraging. We continuc to review our prices regularly to ensure that we offer
oiir audiences excellent value for money.
Second Wave Theatre, our new training group, has been established. Th¢ aims of this group are to
enhance the Thespians, understanding and appteciation of theatre and ar( to improve the lives of our
members through umovative and exciting perforn]ance and to develop every Inember's skills through
performance.
We continue to revieiv our trainÈng activities with a view to ensuring the future of our company.

YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 202)
During the year, the company's business team (secretary. treasurer and business manager) has ensured
that the theatre complies with all necessary licenses and regulations, managed the company's fjnances,
focusing on maintaining our operating costs in a controlled way whilst seeklng ways to maintain and
grow our in¢ome. Thespians, and visitors, Productions have been scheduled to accommodat¢ all
requirements.
The operating deficit for th¢ year was £18,164 (opeTating dcficit 2024 - £8,801) which has been
deducted from reserves. R¢setv¢s at the end of the year were £240.550 (2024 - £258,714) which are
used to finance additional projects, trading in th¢ ensuing year and as backup ￿serVe.
Illveytmellt policy
Aside from retaining a pnldent amount in reserves each year most of the Charity's funds are to be
spent in the short temi so there are few fvnds for long terni investment. Having considered the options
available, the Management Committee has decided to invest the small amount that is available in a
short-tenn notic¢ interest bearing account.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have examined the Charity's requirements for reserves in light of th¢ main risks to the
organisation and have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested
in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 6 and 9 months of expenditure, in view
of current economic difficultte5 and attendance not achieving P￿ Covid-19 leve15, which amounts to
approximately £70,000. Unrestricted funds are L?36,520 including a designated fund of £49,563 and
fixed assets of £133,261, therefore the present level of free ￿SerVeS available to the charity is £53,696
(2024- £68,960).
The reserves are now less than the Current policy and reserves have declined in rcceut years and it is
the intention of trnstees to increase the reserves and look to the long temi future of the theatre both
from a perforn]ance and building utilisation perspectiTre. It is hoped that the trustees will be able to
build on the reserves to ¢t￿ble the modification and change programme to the premises and facilities
both at the Playhouse and Carlton Rooms.
Principal fundina sourees
The principal funding sources for the cbarity are from the promotion of the art through the theatre.
