Communlty and Outreach Community outreach work 15 fitrnly embedded in Marina Lifa and in Lowestoft itself. We have found restsrting post-covid to be sknyer than we hoped - a ￿1￿Clance/d5SCQrnfort with so¢ialising again, pr8S5ure on ¢hildren's time from missed schooling perhaps as w811 as less money io spend as cost-of-living rises. The nurnbers foi classes and groups are growing again and it'$ wonderful to see the effect on participants ol all ages 85 they relax and blossom. Regular groups this year included iwo Youth Theatre groups.. Young Cornpany and 50+ Naxt Stagers. ukule16 Winners and improvers. baby music and a dernentia-friendly music group.

This year, their plays wert put on the Marina stage in fvont of a live audience. There is a very clear appetite for writlng in Lowe8toft and we hope to be able to build on that. As part of the High Street Hentsge Action Zones in Lo￿$t0ft, the Marina is working on a project called Flooding Back. commissioning and produeing a play in response to the East Coast flooding events of 1953 and 2013, as well as acknowledging the risk5 01 li¥Ang next to the sea in a futu￿ of climate th8nge. Workshops were planned and delivered in primary and secondary schoo15, commLJnity groups and in cai8 hornes. enabling pa￿cIpanIs to exchange and develop id883.

Thi5 year also saw the change In management for the wmmunity outreach depathient frorn part-time consultant5 back to a full-time staff member- a notsble landmark for the depathenl. the theatre, and the Trust It is dear that th8r8 is an appetite and a need for creatlV8 Outlets for the pèoplè of Low8stoft, even more so in this pogt-pandernic wortd. L¢atl•rshlp and Stsffing This year the staff team has really corne together in an incredible way, working hard to support each other. develop their skills and build strong teams through the Trust's operations. It has been a real privilege to watch the SMT grow into thair ioles. Recruitsnent is sts"Il not proving to be easy. but it has definitely been easier in many ways than 2021122. This year will be the last at thè Marina for CEO Emma Butler Srnith who left in May 2023, after five years in p05t and seven years total at the Marina. These years have been $0ffi8thing of a rol￿r¢oa$ter, but her ielentiess positiwty and hard work have put the the8tre where it is today. We wish her well for the future and thank her for her $eNce. Recruittnent for a new CEO is in procèss and Trustees are detemiined to get the right person in place to continue and build on the work of the Trust thus far. Energy price rises and ¢o$t of living crisis In addibon to audien￿$ still smaller than prtrpandemic, large incrèases in inflation and resultant cost of liwng rises combined with steep increases In energy pri￿$ helped ¢￿ale a'perfect storm, of increased ovèrheads and reduced incorne. Energy costs from September 22 to March 23 have doubled. However, this is better than the foiecasted costs which ￿le projected to be quadruple. Thanks to quite extreme good husbandry mèasures by Trust staff. an investment in LED Stage lighting by LTC Iin time for panto, thanks to the tech team pulling an all-nighter to get thetn s&t up and rigged) and govemment help, the actual incre83es were not as terrible as we h8d feared. Hard to Imagine that a doubling of costs seerns something to celebrate.

Detailed plan5. engineering calculation5 and costings wère also done by the team for increasiro the of the stage. Howèver, changes in the touring industry post-pandemic mean there is very little mid-scalè musical product either touring or in development now or planned in coming years. A5 this was one ol the primary reasons behind plans to increase the size of the stsge, it was decided that spending so rnuch of the TIF grant on 8n el8rnent that may wèll not see a good return in investment was unwise. In parbcular. spending so much on a sin9le element would have significantty reducad the other elementslaspects possible within budget.
