reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To advance the education for the public
benefit, in particular for the benefit of young
people, by the promotion of the arts in
particular but not exclusively the dramatic arts,
theatre and the performing arts.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Over the past year, our organisation has
continued to provide accessible and inclusive
opportunities for artistic growth and community
engagement. We have expanded our
workshop offerings to include Meisner
Technique, Theatre of the Oppressed, Clown
Workshops, Open Mics, and Open Level
Acting Workshops, fostering a creative space
for individuals of all backgrounds.
Additionally, we have introduced Artistic
Residencies for emerging theatre makers,
offering them the resources and support
needed to develop their work. Through these
initiatives, we remain committed to nurturing
talent and making theatre education available
to all, particularly those who may face barriers
to participation.
Collaboration remains at the heart of our
mission, and this year we have partnered with
organisations such as Cinema Mentire,
Lambeth Fringe Festival, Zoe & Jack Comedy,
and Acting Practice to expand our reach and
impact.
We continue to provide affordable access to
theatre resources, including a vast selection of
second-hand plays, regularly purchased by
drama students at a fraction of the cost of new
copies. Our theatre productions operate on a
cooperative basis, often involving emerging
artists and underserved communities.
Additionally, we offer rehearsal space at
significantly reduced rates for start-up theatre
companies, ensuring that creative projects can
flourish regardless of financial constraints.| |Statement confirming

achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to society
as a whole.|Para 1.20|This year, we have worked hard to open up
our space to new audiences and emerging
artists who would benefit from it, leading to the
creation of our Residency Programme.
Through this initiative, 16 artists were given
free access to rehearsal and performance
space, allowing approximately 200 audience
members to experience their work. We
carefully selected the resident artists based on
the stories they wished to tell, ensuring a
commitment to reflecting the diverse social
fabric of London, the city we serve. In
collaboration with various organisations, we
programmed performances by emerging
theatre makers such as Threedumb
Productions and Whole Headache
Productions, bringing both classic works and
new theatre exploring contemporary issues to
our stage. Among our productions, we staged
The Trial of Jemmy Button, a play portraying
the story of a teenage boy from an indigenous
tribe in Argentina who was abducted by the
English in the 19th century. This production
was presented with an educational purpose,
shedding light on often unheard stories. We
continue to offer budget-priced rehearsal
space, including the use of a beautiful piano,
which has grown increasingly popular among
local theatre companies and drama teachers.
Additionally, we have expanded our collection
of second-hand plays and books on theatre,
politics, philosophy, and fiction, maintaining an
affordable average price of four pounds each.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 objectives set Performance of fundraising Para 1.41 activities against objectives set Investment performance Para 1.41 against objectives Other ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
