benefit in relation to these
objects (include within this
section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public benefit)
The Wind-Up Penguin Theatre Company ran 3 international performance
projects in 2019. For each of these projects, a team of 6-8 music and
acting students or recent alumni devised a new piece of collaborative
music theatre for children.
These performances are always followed by an interactive music and
drama workshop, enabling and encouraging children to express their
creativity.
Our teams took these productions (performance + workshop) on
international tours. The teams conducted these projects exclusively with
disadvantaged children.
Project 1: Tanzania (April 2023)
Five performers
20+ performances & workshops for street children and orphans,
collaborating with various NGOs
Project 2: Turkey (August 2023)
Eight performers
20+ performances & workshops for Syrian refugee children in camps,
schools, and various NGO-led centres.
Project 3: Belgium (December 2023)
Six performers
10+ performances and workshops for refugee children, and Roma
children, in various settlements, camps, and NGO-led venues.
This year, most participants were current students or recent graduates of
the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Royal College of Music, and
the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Working with students from such high-reputation establishments ensures
that performances and workshops we offer are of a professional standard.
Our performances only use live music. This enables us to introduce
children to classical instruments to which they are unlikely ever to have
been exposed.
All our performances are entirely free of charge both for the venues
hosting us, and the attending public.
The charity is run entirely by volunteers.
We confirm the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s
guidance on public benefit.

(Optional information)
Upon registering for projects, the participants of the Wind-Up Penguin
Theatre Company become members of the CIO. Alongside any other
members or volunteers, they fundraise to cover the costs of the
international projects.
Participants will personally cover the outstanding amount of their project,
should it not have been possible to cover the entirety of the cost with
fundraising. Participants are made aware of this before applying, and
must agree to this clause prior to committing to a project.
For all the CIO’s international projects, funds (comprising both
fundraising/donations and participant fees) are spent exclusively on
areas which are necessary for the running of these projects:
-Flights
-All transport to and from performance venues abroad, as well as
between locations
-Sustenance for participants
-Props and costumes
