TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT
Structure, governance and management
Head2Head Theatre, also known as Head2Head Sensory Theatre ("the Charity" or"H2H")
is a volunteer-led, charitable incorporated organisation, registered with the Charity Commission.
In accordan￿ with its governing Constitution, its aims are to relieve the needs of persons of all
ages with special educational needs and disabilities throughout the UK by means of the arts -
primarily through stimulating and engaging drama activities.
The activities of the Charity are overseen by a board of volunteer Trustees, each bringing
an aspect of skill, experience and/or networking capability which contributes to fulfilment of the
Charity's aims. Each Trustee is made aware of, and has due regard for, the Charity Commission's
public benefit guidance and of the scope of the Charity's aims and activities. Training with a third
party is offered to all Trustees. Applicants undergo a series of rigorous interviews and are
selected for the value of their existing experience, with a view to providing the Charity with a
suitably broad range of complementary skills in finance, governance, strategy, marketing and
production. Two Trustees represent the beneficiaries.
The Charity's Trustees at the date of this report are Tony de Vizio, Calleigh Lawrence,
Anthony Scholefield, Grace Evans, Ranjan Bista, Francis Katamba, Christine Flynn, Narelle Cox,
and Clara Lawrence. After five years of excellent service Rosemarie Glithero resigned as Chair
and was repla￿d by Tony de Vizio, an experienced and skilled strategist.
Two new Patrons were appointed: Jules Robertson (Actor on the Autistic Spectrum) and
Alex Manners (Asperger's Champion and Speaker).
In recognition of the increase in scale of activities and expected diminution in her available
time, the former CEO had, since last year, been driving a search for her successor. Several
candidates were interviewed by a small team and the Board of Trustees approved the
appointment of Kevin Robins, effective from 1st June 2020. However, Mr. Robins remained in
office for only four months, resigning due to increased workload at his full-time employment.
Therefore, the day-to-day management of the Charity remains the responsibility of Ann Rhodes-
Steere who operates as the pro bono interim CEO. She continues to ensure that key issues are
considered by the Board on a timely basis.
The Charity is supported by a number of volunteers, including the Independent Examiner,
Financial Controller, Accounts Officer, R&D, the HR team, Social Media, and the interim CEO.
Some Trustees have taken on oversight of departments, reporting to the Board at its monthly
virtual meetings. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Charity was awarded core cost
grants enabling it to take on contracted and salaried support staff working a cumulative total of
62 hours per week in Finan￿, Marketing, Social Media, PR, Production and Administration. The
dedication and hard work of volunteers and salaried staff have helped support the Charity during
a difficult year.

Review of the Year
Now in its 15th year of operation H2H responded well to the pandemic, devising and
producing virtual activities that have increased numbers and geographical spread of its audience.
However, the inability to tour seriously affected the Charity with a drop of more than 75 % in earned
income. Conversely, grant aid increased by 35 % as funders recognised the need to support the
Charity's work during the crisis, raising the Charity's income from £134,000 (2019-20) to £152,000
(2020-21).
As a consequence of the pandemic the Charity channelled its artistic talents into new ways
to provide entertainment to families shielding because of their children's clinical vulnerability. The
challenge was to provide sensory and interactive 'whole family, entertainment aimed at children
with a wide range of learning difficulties and disabilities. Starting with simple You Tube videos
filmed from actors, homes, the Charity has widened its range of products, creating a multi-layered,
interactive game, 'Can You Find Neverland,, suitable for families and group entertainment.
'Live' virtual performances, adapted from previously toured shows, proved popular with
families and groups. These have doubled the number of performances given this year, from 73
(2019~20) to 155 (2020-21). In addition, the Charity's hallmark 'Snacks and Chats, post-show
sessions have enabled families to socialise and gain support from one another. These
opportunities for socialising during lockdown periods have helped family wellbeing with many
groups, such as Family Voice, buying out complete sessions to offer member-specific viewings.
In addition, the Charity engaged a part-time SEN teacher to act as Liaison Officer for
Schools and Families. Her telephone calls to check on families, wellbeing have been welcomed
with one parent commenting that it was the first time she had spoken with another adult for weeks.
At the start of the pandemic two actors, who live in the same household, filmed a shortened
version of H2H's cancelled touring production of 'Come Trot to Camelot,. Shown on You Tube,
this received nearly 2000 viewings. During the summer months the acting team was able to
rehearse and film outdoors and created a professional version of the production. Thanks to the
support of new and old funders, the Charity filmed its annual multi-sensory pantomime,
'Cinderella'. This was accompanied by 'live' virtual workshops that encouraged active
participation when watching the film. There was a fall in take up from previous years as many
schools were apprehensive about the suitability of virtual performances for their students. While
some teaching staff reported that 'live' performances were preferable for their students, many
others stated that the virtual presentation was ideal for their students who would not have
attended a live performance:
It was a great interactive performance and the pre-show learning was amazing for our class. This was
more accessiblefor some of our pupils who would have never made it to the school hallfor it normally, who loved
the experiencefrom the comfort of theirfamiliar classroom.
The Charity collaborated with the Kent Deaf Children's Society to ensure that the film was
ac￿Ssible to deaf children. This was achieved through the services of a BSL 'Sign Supported
English, interpreter, and captions - which were provided free of charge by Capital Captions. It is
intended to follow the same format for future films which The Deaf Children's Society will promote
to its members throughout the UK.
'Piccolo Pinocchio, will be launched in May 2021 featuring the voice of Phil (Mister Maker)
Gallagher as the whale. To publicise the film he has agreed to donate a signed competition prize.
'Canvas Castles, will be released in Summer 2021. This docu-film celebrates the 500th
anniversary of Henry Vlll's historic visit to Calais and the extravagant pageantry that inspired 'The
Field of the Cloth of Gold,. The painting forms the backdrop to the film and has been provided
with kind permission of the Royal Collection Trust.
These activities allowed the Charity to reintroduce its Work Experience Programme, halted
at the cessation of touring. Now in its fourth year, the Charity's programme has been renamed
the Work Experience Programme and Professional Pla￿mentS. With funding from the
Community Foundation for Surrey H2H engaged a part-time freelance Co-ordinator to run the
programme. Young disabled people from around the UK have been rehearsed, mentored and
guided to perform alongside H2H's professional actors. This has led to a collaboration with The

Orpheus Centre, a specialist college for the performing arts, based in East Surrey. In just one
month the Charity was able to provide Work Experience opportunities to seven students and
professional actor engagement to two graduates.
Expanding its operations to include history and education the Charity is exploring
partnerships on future projects with West Horsley Place Trust and a local museum. Subject to
funding, a You Tube series will be launched in late Summer 2021 exploring familiar settings such
as a farm, garden and beach.
None of this would have been possible without the generosity of our supporters. The Big
Give's Christmas Challenge brought in nearly £10,000 of unrestricted funds. Grants of over
£10,000 were provided by The Fore, Awards ForAII (the National Lottery), Morrison's Foundation,
Groundworks (Tesco Bags of Help) and the Community Foundation for Surrey, with continued
support from Kent, West Sussex and East Sussex County Councils.
Future developments and Policy on Reserves
To facilitate its virtual activities the Charity moved to temporary rented premises in Fetcham,
Surrey, covering 162 square metres. This had the advantage of housing everything under one
roof while providing space for filming. Unfortunately, with its increased production, and within six
months of moving, the Charity had outgrown these premises. Various strategies have been
employed to find a larger and more permanent base for the Charity. These include declaring
interest in several sites for sale in Leatherhead which, with a third special school planned, will
become a centre for specialist education. An application has been made which, if successful, will
allow the Charity to apply for £1 million to purchase land or a site. The Charity is in talks with a
Surrey based specialist college for the performing arts which is interested in including H2H in its
5-year building strategy. The college also wishes to explore the possibility of including the
Charity's planned programme into its college curriculum which offers all aspects of theatre craft
to support and complement H2H's productions.
Looking further forward, future activities of the Charity will depend significantly on the state
of the UK economy and the availability of grants and donations post-crisis. The Trustees have
agreed that the Charity should seek to maintain a contingency reserve covering four months of
operating costs, though most of the related payment commitments could be terminated in less
than bNO months.
The Theatre Base Project Fund, earmarked to help contribute to the costs of a permanent
base, has been increased to over £54,000. Vvhile recognising that this represents only a small
fraction of what is needed, the Trustees hope to launch a campaign in 2021 to augment this
project considerably. At 5 April 2021 the Charity had restricted funds amounting to £50,090,
relating to grant-funded productions planned for delivery over the ensuing 12 months.
Public Benefit
During a year of unprecedented increased costs in premises, production and staff, the Charity
has continued to remain within budget. Thanks to the hard work and creativity of Sara Cole
(Artistic Director), Amy Rhodes (R&D/Education) and Erica Flint (Production), the Charity has
increased the number, and variety, of its performances and widened its audien￿ base across the
UK. To support this increase in productivity staffing levels have increased from 3 to 16 with
production costs rising by 62 % to £35,500 and core costs by 145 % to £67,000.
The Charity has survived this unplanned acceleration because of its willingness to adapt
to the changing situation facing everyone during the pandemic. The Charity continues to be
volunteer led with an equal blend of paid staff and volunteers.
The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity's activities for the year were in line with its aims
and have had public benefit, having regard to the guidance on the latter issued by the Charity
Commission.

Relatsd party transactions
During the year, the Charity paid production perfonnance fees, all at the Charity's normal
remuneration rates for professional actors, to the daughter of the interim CEO amounting to
£9225.85. Amy Rhodes also provided the Charity with substantial amounts of time, free, in
relation to Administration, Production and Research & Development.
Thanks
A debt of gratitude is owed to the donors, Trustees, the Independent Examiner, actors, staff and
volunteers, whose loyalty, commitment and hard work helped make the above possible. We also
thank Sally Phillips, Samantha Renke, Alex Manners and Jules Robertson, for their continued
support as Patrons.
This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 7th June 2021.
