The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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 published in October 2019".

The legal and administrative information page forms part of this report.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are to advance education for the public benefit by the promotion of the arts, in particular but not exclusively the art of drama.

In order to achieve these objects the charity:

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the trust’s aims and in planning future activities.

Activities of the Charity

The Charity has had another positive and productive year reaching more children than ever before with our creative shows and projects locally, nationally and internationally. We have worked hard to stay true to our values, in particular working more sustainably through the Theatre Green Book and broadening the representation of the people we employ in our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. Our activities have benefited the public throughout the year through the delivery of:

Leeds Libraries Tour

We created a performed reading of Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho’s delightful book If All the World Were and toured it to 9 libraries in low socio-economic areas across Leeds. Funded by Arts Council England and Leeds Library Service the tour reached 775 children and their parents and carers over 28 performances. 464 school children aged 3+ attended the performance many experiencing theatre for the first time. The production was created with one performer and was followed by a craft activity related to the story. Two stage management students from Leeds City College joined us for work experience on the creation and tour of the production running many of the shows themselves. A Jerwood Foundation funded resident designer was assistant on the production gaining valuable experience in the creation of a show. A video of the show was also made and was available on Facebook to broaden the reach. The video was both created with captions and in BSL for access purposes.

“Such an amazing experience watching @tuttifruttiprod‘s engaging and riveting performance of ‘If all the world were..” Hunslet Carr Primary

Arts Engagement

This year has seen the second of a five-year funding programme secured from the Didymus Charity to develop arts engagement projects in the Harehills area of Leeds and its environs. The Arts Engagement Co-ordinator, Suvi Saraf, has continued to work hard on developing the tutti frutti club, an arts engagement project that takes place after school for children aged 4+ in partnership with Harehills and Hovingham Primary Schools. Three-year funding from Mohn Westlake together with other funding has allowed us to run a pilot of the club also at Shakespeare Primary and local libraries Compton and the Reginald Centre in Chapeltown. Children have engaged in and enjoyed workshops in dance, music, creative writing, storytelling, crafts and puppetry delivered by a cohort of culturally representative Leeds-based professional theatre practitioners. The aim of the Club is to engage children in the low socioeconomic areas of Gipton, Harehills and Burmantofts in high quality arts and cultural activities due to a lack of provision for this young age group and socio-economic barriers for them to access other facilities and clubs. The delivery of the project is based on the well documented evidence that it is vital for children to have relevant creative experiences that will develop their imaginations, self-esteem and aspirations helping them see the world with fresh eyes.

Suvi has also been networking with local organisations and community members and run several focus groups with local school parents at Harehills Primary to better understand their aspirations and needs for their children through the arts.

The Lightbulb Princess

This new show was a co-production with One Tenth Human in association with Alnwick Playhouse. Sarah Punshon of One Tenth Human was writer and director and brought a new team of creatives to make the show. The show toured nationally for 10 weeks including a 9-day Christmas run at Pegasus Theatre in Oxford. 86 performances took place to a total audience of 6,765. There were environmental themes in the show around the generation of electricity and it was our second-time achieving Baseline level of the Theatre Green Book, a new initiative that supports the arts in becoming more sustainable in its practices.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Boy Who Cried Wolf by Mike Kenny

This popular show was remounted and performed for three weeks in December at Lakeside Arts in Nottingham as their Christmas production for children aged 3+ and their families. 40 performances took place reaching an audience of 5,091. The show then toured the USA for 15 weeks delivering 107 performances in 29 venues to audiences of 44,093. The show was extremely well received and surpassed all targets. The tour has continued to strengthen the relationship with the US agents and a further two years of touring the US are planned.

"I am a teacher in Las Vegas. My class absolutely loved your production of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Thank you for this high-quality production and giving many of our students their first positive experience with live theatre! Fantastic show!" Audience member

Jerwood Developing Artists Fund

The Jerwood Foundation is a funder dedicated to supporting outstanding UK artists, curators and producers to develop and thrive. The Jerwood Developing Artists Fund offers exceptional opportunities for early-career artists, curators and producers, delivered by organisations with the capacity and know how to help individuals to develop new skills, ideas and work. Leeds Playhouse made a successful application to the Fund in partnership with tutti frutti to support two resident designers to work with the companies for two years. Bradford based designer Delicia Sorhaindo was the successful candidate for 23/24 and she worked as Design Assistant on If All The World Were , The Lightbulb Princess and The Boy Who Cried Wolf alongside delivering workshops for the Tutti Frutti Club.

Financial review

We have navigated the challenges presented by the cost of living crisis and political uncertainty and have been confident in successfully producing and touring over the year. Audience numbers are our highest ever due to the US tour which reached 44,000 people and was our most successful tour to date. The tutti frutti club remains extremely important in reaching children in low socioeconomic areas of Leeds where free access to the arts presents challenges to the local families and children. We have piloted extending the Club to an additional school nearby and in local libraries so more children can benefit from the access to creativity it offers. Venue bookings have been positive with the co-production with One Tenth Human bringing our work to some UK venues that are new to us. Fee income from touring remains challenging in the face of low risk programming by venues and bookers, exacerbated by the cost of living crisis. The enhanced level of 50% Theatre Tax Relief for touring has been welcome and enabled the company to generate a surplus on the year and the government decision to fix the rate permanently at 45% is very positive as we look ahead.

We have continued to have success this year in fundraising. We were sorry to see our fundraiser Janet Myers leave but welcome Carrie Carruthers in her place. She and the team have successfully generated funds for current and future projects from Wades Charity, Pears Youth Fund, The Seedlings Trust, The Bramall’s Foundation, Sir George Martin Trust, Garrick Charitable Trust to whom we extend great thanks. Funding was also jointly secured with Leeds Playhouse from the Jerwood Developing Artists Fund. We extend our thanks to our core funders Arts Council England and Leeds City Council and to Didymus for the continuation of their funding of the Tutti Frutti Club.

Reserves policy

The trustees have established the level of reserves that the charity should have as amounting to 15 months operating costs at a minimum to secure the company against current and future challenges. The arts is facing uncertain times with reduced fee income from venues, cuts in local authority arts funding nationally, standstill funding from Arts Council England and all against the backdrop of increased costs and a cost of living crisis therefore the trustees consider it prudent to increase the operating costs of 2024 by 5%. At 31 March 2024 has free reserves of £239,548 (2023: £200,913) which equates to 15 (£2023: 12) months operating costs.

Risk management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee by its Memorandum of Articles of Association dated 9 August 2001. The company adopted revised Memorandum of Articles of Association on 26[th] January 2011 when it became a charity. A further amendment was made to the Memorandum of Articles of Association at the AGM on 14[th] October 2015 in which the number of trustees was increased from 7 to 9.

Trustees to run the charity are identified through contacts within the arts and education fields, by advertising through organisations like Arts Council of England, NCVO, board banks and targeted advertising for specific skill requirements and diversity.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.
