Objectives and activities

Starburst Foundation is a registered charity based in Farnborough, Hampshire. Starburst Foundation’s objectives are “the promotion of education appreciation and enjoyment of music and drama by the presentation of concerts and other musical and dramatic events”.

The charity is run completely by volunteers who give up their time to support the charity. The profits from various events staged throughout the year are used to buy specialised equipment for children with special needs within the surrounding communities with the vision of the charity being “to support children with special needs in reaching their full potential by providing them with specialist equipment.”

In addition to the annual events, money is raised in several other ways to fund equipment including the hire of our owned theatre equipment and costumes and the undertaking of fundraising events by the company or other individual or organisations, with the purpose of a monetary donation.

Starburst Foundation supports children in the Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire borders.

All Starburst Foundation Activities are undertaken with due regard to the Charity Commissions’ Public Benefit Guidance.

- Activities for reporting period 1st March 2022 28th February 2023

Theatre Activities

Objectives and Activities

The Theatre Division of Starburst Foundation exists to promote the enjoyment of the arts to the local community, train future performers, technicians, and creatives, and raise money to fund life-enhancing equipment for disabled children in the local area. In 2022/23 we aimed to meet these objectives through two primary activities: a summer production and a Christmas pantomime. Alongside these activities, the theatre division planned to use social media and local events to publicise our activities and the activities and objectives of the whole Foundation.

Achievement and Performance

Summer 2022

Starburst, for the first time since the COVID-19 Pandemic, was able to mount a full-scale summer production in 2022; Legends of Music. This was a cabaret-style show performed at The Harlington in fleet from 7th - 9th July 2022.

For this production we sold 494 tickets , which was approximately 60% of our total capacity for the run. This generated an income of £6546.00 . With show fees and Front of House added and all costs deducted, we finished the production with £1074.88 of profit for Starburst Foundation. This production was a success and gave more performers the opportunity to showcase their skills due to the nature of rehearsals and the amount of content in the show.

Panto 2022

Fleet Panto 2022 was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the theatre division was determined, as ever, to build upon the successes of previous shows. We auditioned over 90 performers and began rehearsals in September, with the show running from 10th - 29th December at The Harlington.

4

The production sold 4851 tickets, slightly down on last year. This equalled £82,909.75; a significant increase on previous years. When combined with show fees, Front of House, matched donations, and charity show tickets, this production took an astounding £96,732.75 with a total profit of £37,510.80. Again, this is a monumental increase on previous years and in a cost of living crisis it’s a great achievement. This goes to show that Starburst continue to produce high-quality productions year on year, helping to raise money for local children and bringing the arts to the local community. This profit allows us to give a direct cash injection to the Applications Division of around £14,000 to directly support local children with life-limiting conditions. The remainder of this profit goes towards improving aspects of the Theatre Division in the form of capital expenditure, and towards the daily running costs of the whole Foundation.

As per our objectives, we utilised local events to promote the work of the company and the theatre division’s activities. These events included Farnham Christmas Light Switch-On and Fleet Festivities. We also met our objective of working with new creatives as we welcomed Paul to the company as our Musical Director, and we will continue to find and nurture new talent in all areas of our productions going forward.

Throughout the process of every production, we learn valuable lessons that are taken forward, ensuring the theatre division is always evolving and aiming to beat the success of the previous show. We do this through regular meetings and check-in, and most importantly by a debrief meeting once the production has closed. This allows each department head to talk through their successes and lessons they have learned. This was, again, a very insightful meeting and will help shape future productions.

We would like to take a moment to whole-heartedly thank everyone that made panto possible. From production and creative, to tech and chaperones, Front of House and band, and everyone that stepped on stage. Without everyone donating their time and expertise to create a brilliant show, we would not have had such an overwhelmingly positive response from our audiences. As a division we rely entirely on volunteers who kindly donate their time and knowledge, and this is never taken for granted by either of us.

I’d also like to personally thank Joshua for his continued support and tireless work over the past few years as joint Theatre Director. Josh is stepping down from the role and has helped shape the company and the division in his time here.

Fundraising Activities

Objectives and Activities

Purpose

The purpose of the Fundraising section of The Foundation is to research, support, facilitate and analyse any fundraising projects that the three divisions of The Foundation have.

Strategy

The Foundation’s fundraising this year has been financed largely by itself: Theatre and Academy, and the passion of its board of Directors, supporters and volunteers. After the Covid19 upheaval and interruptions we have been able to resume fundraising again. We have also begun to investigate grants and fundraising bids and this area will continue to be researched. I am hoping that, with the help of a fundraising committee, we will be able to access a broader range of fundraising and maximise the support that we have, utilising a range of providers and options that will not add to the volunteer burden.

5

Hurdles to Overcome

In order for the Foundation to grow and have a secure future, we need to find a HQ premises that will allow the Foundation to all function under one roof, thus reducing rental, storage and transporting costs. This will also give us a local community presence beyond word of mouth.

The Academy and Theatre have been affected for the last two years by the Covid19 pandemic. Although they have been able to continue somewhat successfully, and still provide The Foundation with funds, through the hard work and determination of all those involved, it has hindered their growth.

I would like to look at ways of increasing our fundraising projects, by asking and researching the answers to:

Achievements and performance

During the reporting year, a total of approximately £25,000 was generated by events organised by the Applications Division or donated directly to support the applications process. This included:

Theatre Academy Activities

Objectives and Activities

Starburst Theatre Academy (STA) is a musical theatre academy currently based in Fleet.

The Academy aims to reach out to various children including disadvantaged children from difficult backgrounds who would not normally undertake the arts due to domestic circumstances. It also aims to give high-quality training using professionally trained teachers and working professionals. We embrace all abilities, and promote the values of passion, integrity, respect, responsibility, honesty and resilience in all our students.

We give students the opportunity to learn and develop skills in singing, acting and dancing, and to use these skills in an annual performance, as well as the opportunity to audition for roles in our own award-winning shows, most notably the Fleet pantomime which the Starburst Theatre Division produce each year.

Our key aims going forward are to increase these numbers to ensure a constant stream of talent filters through the Academy and into our theatre productions, and that the profits of this increase are used to benefit the primary goal of the Foundation: to raise money for the equipment and support of disabled children in the local area, and to raise funds for a Starburst HQ that can house the needs of all our divisions.

To do this, we aim to:

presence. This will be overseen by the Marketing Director and linked to the wider Foundation to ensure cohesion.

Achievements and Performance

Between March 2022 and February 2023, STA had an income of £17,690, with a profit of £2,960.30. We had 26 students enrolled in the Saturday school programme: 2 in our 6-8yrs, 16 in our 9-12yrs, and 8 in our 13+. Classes are separated by age to instil confidence in our performers alongside their peers, whilst allowing for teaching of technique to be differentiated, ensuring personal growth happens organically.

Since September 2021, the Academy has been based at Court Moor School in Fleet, and the first term of this academic year was used to consolidate skills whilst focusing more heavily on the integration of skills.

Since January 2022, students have been working on a different musical every three weeks, implementing the performance and integration skills learned. By July, the students will have created a medley of musicals including Annie, Everybody’s Talking about Jamie and Bugsy Malone, to be performed as their annual showcase in The Harlington Fleet.

It is fantastic to see that the Academy is already feeding fresh talent into the Theatre Division of the Foundation, with our students cast in Fleet Pantomime, and several auditioning for the upcoming summer show.

I would like to say a huge thank you to our students, families, teachers, trustees, and the wider Starburst community for their continued support of the Academy and the Foundation as a whole. We look forward to another year of growth and fun!

Volunteers Division Report:

Objectives and Activities

We have been trying to align all areas of starburst and become more of a cohesive unit rather than being the theatre, charity (now known as applications) and academy being separate entities. With that in mind we thought it was time to change the ‘members’ role 1) because we don’t actually have members (in the sense of paying a membership fee) and 2) because historically the role has predominantly looked after cast members and theatre volunteers and we feel that there needs to be a role that encompasses every single person that gives their time in any way to the Starburst Foundation. For that reason there is no longer a Members Manager and a new role has been created called the Volunteers manager. This person will oversee every volunteer within starburst, from cast members to ball organisers and we hope that it will mean that those who aren’t under the ‘theatre’ umbrella will feel more included and part of the foundation as a whole.’

Marketing Division Report:

Objectives and Activities

The Marketing Department has the objective of delivering an exposure of the Starburst Foundation with regular coverage of the applications, events and theatre departments. The Starburst Theatre Academy have stood alone with their marketing up until now but the objective is that the Marketing department will see a move to incorporate a uniformity across the entire brand. Marketing has been through hard marketing i.e. Banners, flyer distribution with partnerships and also press coverage. There has also been consistent engagement through our most popular social media platforms, FaceBook and Instagram. The objectives for 22/23 to grow those engagements and strive for further reach and exposure in all areas of the foundation.

Achievement and Performance

It has been difficult to judge performance on a year on year basis as for the past 2 years it has not been consistent and there was no data at the start of the term for myself. This said, we have seen a growth in social media engagement over the past 24 months and this has been vastly organic without the need for financial investment..

Reserves Policy

Current and last updated Feb 2022.

Future plans

Starburst foundation has strategic directions for each of its departments.

The Applications department is focusing on raising awareness of the charity to the local community and widening participation to reach out to more children in need. The core business of fundraising continues but with a heightened emphasis on 3[rd] party donations, local grants and bids to boost income to the charity.

The Hire department is low key in its operation currently as the resources are not in place to support the operation, Infrastructure is required in terms of storage and layout for its efficient and effective rollout. Until this is resolved hire is operating a reduced capacity. The goal is to offer high-quality costumes to local companies to enhance their performances but at an agreeable budget alongside sound and lighting equipment.

The Theatre company has had many very successful pantomimes located at the Harlington Centre in fleet fulfilling the professional pantomime vacancy. These have gone from strength to strength, and in 2022 sold circa 5000 tickets. The goal is for the pantomime to grow in performance and offer high quality, top-level community show for all to enjoy at a reasonable cost, at the same time as maximizing profits for the charity. The Theatre Company also looks to engage, develop and nurture the cast and members in all aspects of life, transferable skills, confidence, human factors, teamwork, and communication. Allowing opportunities for members to undertake roles and step up to responsibilities in a safe and supported environment.

10

The Theatre Academy opened in September 2019 with a remit to develop children's stagecraft and foster transferable life skills which could impact their future career. It runs Saturday workshops for ages 6-17 covering the three disciplines of Musical Theatre performance.

Alongside this adult, classes are offered in dance styles for enjoyment and development. The long term aim is to offer paid scholarships to a small number of disadvantaged students annually.

The Foundation has an overall goal to maximize awareness of all it undertakes to engage the community into using the foundation. It also looks to maintain fiscal control and efficiency to allow full and transparent support where needed.

Funds held as a custodian

The trustees of the charity do not act as custodian trustees.

Legal Status of the Charity

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each Trustee is limited to £1.

Risk Management

The trustees continually assess the risks that face the charity and take appropriate action to mitigate any potential risks. The trustees are happy that systems are currently in place to manage any potential risks associated with its day to day business. Starburst Foundation continues to look towards updating all its policies to ensure that they meet the needs of the charity.
