This year saw the cancellation, due to Covid 19, of the Brighton, Edinburgh and other Festivals; the closure of live theatres across the country throughout most of the year; and severe restrictions on travel and public gatherings.
To stay active and connected to our audience, we restructured our programme, by creating three short films which we recorded live and then broadcast on social media.
We also presented a Covid safe rehearsed reading of our postponed Brighton Festival production to a secondary school audience; and researched, developed, sought funding, and did casting and pre-production for our premiere of **EXIT THE QUEEN** , re-scheduled for May 2021.

## **Section E Financial review**
**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
We intend to build up reserves as appropriate to a small grant aided arts charity. Ideally we would like to have sufficient reserves to enable us to invest in innovative productions without over reliance on external grants.
**Details of any funds materially in deficit**
None
## **Further financial review details (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:
- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
As a result of Covid, artistic activity during 2020/21 was severely curtailed, with negligible box office income and minimal donations. Such work which was done were pro bono You Tube videos; and preparation for the production in May 2021 (after the year end) of **EXIT THE QUEEN** .
- Donation income was £371.
During the year our work has advanced public education and knowledge of the Arts fully in accordance with our objects.
