The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025. The trustees have adopted the pravisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 41 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The purposes of the charity is to advance the education of the public in all aspects of the dramatic art and the development of public appreciation such art by presentation of public theatre performances. Over the last financial year, Simple 8 Theatre Company continued their relaunch of full-scale productions post-Covid. They have maintained strong relationships with partners, including Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton, Park Theatre London and Shoreditch Town Hall. The company produced a full-scale premiere of their new play The Land of the Free (formerly Sic Semper) about how John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln, to coincide with the US Presidential! election in autumn 2024, It played at Southwark Playhouse in London, and the project spanned September - November 2024. The company fundraised throughout the year, including hosting an Evening With.... Dame Imelda Staunton.
(Land__ ACHIEVEMENTS of the Free AND PERFORMANCE . Successfully mounted a full-scale production at Southwark Playhouse. In total 35 performances, employing 14 practitioners, with 2,458 people seeing it live and over 100,000 engaged online.
Alongside a positive round of private fundraising we also used a successful grant from last year’s return from the De Haan Charitable Trust towards this activity.
The production was critically well-received:
"A deft investigation of a Presidential assassination.....it’s how the director Sebastian Armesto and co-writer Dudley
-
Hinton wrap, unwrap, and reward that gift which enhances the material" The Guardian
-
- “A bold new production" The Strand Magazine - "A clever piece of theatre" ReviewsHub
Our audience development focused on offering affordable tickets at all venues with discounts for schools, those on low incomes, multi-generational families and young people. We had the very low average ticket price of £16.88. We also created free workshops for young practitioners. These were sent to drama schools/universities local to the venue, and/or with a specific lean towards American studies or students.
,
We offered adapted shows including captioned shows, and a Relaxed Performance, plus a Post Show Discussion with noted US Historian Adam Smith.
Our workforce had gender parity and our casting was representative of racial and physical diversity.
i)
- “-" Achievements Against Objective Set
We succeeded in our aim of premiering a new play with a large cast and without ‘star’ casting. However we were unable to sell the show as successfully as we would have hoped.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Amount of reserves held: negative reserve of £4,620 (2024 - £37,416).
The Charitable Company will operate with no cash reserves. The Trustees aim to maintain a sufficient balance to meet ongoing expenditure, but if required Members will cover the costs of subscriptions for website etc. There is no anticipated major expenditure for the following tax year as we have no productions planned. Any major projects will be met from separate fundraising activities.
Furds in deficit , There was a loss for the year caused by lower than expected box office income. This toss was offset by higher than expected fundraising and a ‘creative tax credit’ that made the impact manageable. If required, any loss carried forward will be mitigated by writing off money owed to Company Members.

Once . our tax credit is received, we will repay our loan due to Timothy Bull and will have reserves of net zero. If required, any loss carried forward will be mitigated by writing off money owed to Company Members.
The charity’s principal sources of funds {including any fundraising) are: Grants/donations/fundraising - £19,876 Productions/sales/royalties - £42,001
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted:
The Charitable Company’s funds are held in an interest bearing current account with the Co-operative Bank, There are currently no funds hefd that will not be expended within the next twelve months so longer term investment funds are felt inappropriate by the Trustees.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity: The principal two risks are the viability of productions (can sell tickets) and losing funding in the build up. However the company mitigate against these by maintaining very low admin costs, being run by volunteers and they adjust their work and budgets to suit unfolding events. The Trustees review the major risks facing the Charitable Company at least once a year. We have a comprehensive health and safety review and a code of conduct and safeguarding policy.
i) :
FUTURE PLANS
In terms of future plans, because the current climate in the Arts is perilous, due to a lack of funding, struggle for audience and consequential fear of risk we are considering moth-balling the company until we have a clear direction in terms of projects to mount and an industry that can offer better support.We had a fundraising target for this production of £10,000 and our Evening With fundraising events and private donations we ended up exceeding that target with total funds raised of £17,200 excluding Gift Aid. As previously mentioned we also used a grant of £5,000 from the De Haan Charitable Trust towards this year’s activity, which is included in this figure.
As detailed in last year’s report we have felt that the current climate in the Arts is perilous, due to a lack of funding, struggle for audience and general fear of risk from theatre programmers.
In particular, over the last two productions, this year’s activity and Moby-Dick, we found that what has worked for us in the past - good reviews, a recognised aesthetic, story-centric drama, casting and marketing - are no longer enough to attract an audience larger enough to sustain the work.
E ; :
Consequentially we have taken the heavy decision to moth-baill the company until we have a clear direction in terms of projects to mount and an industry that can offer better support. All our infrastructure will remain in place and we intend to continue to pursue opportunities that will fulfil our purposes.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
:
The governing document of the charity is the Memorandum and Articles of Association, which was adopted in 07/07/2010 on the formation of the Simple 8 Theatre Company as a company limited by guarantee.
The company is limited by guarantee - each director has agreed to contribute up to £10 in the event of winding up.
The methods used to recruit and appoint new trustees, including details of any other person or external body entitled to appoint one or more trustees:
We identify the need for new trustees. Either because vacancies have arisen, or that new trustees with specific skills are needed to help run the charity more effectively. The trustees agree what skills, experience and knowledge are needed. Preferred candidates are identified and invited to join the trustees. The whole board are responsible.
