Trustees' Report
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The reference and administrative details set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Young People's Puppet Theatre is a company limited by guarantee, constituted in accordance with its Articles of Association. Each of the members has undertaken to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the company in the event of the same being wound up and the assets being insufficient to cover its liabilities.
The company is managed by a Board of Trustees, which is made up of members whose appointment is subject to approval by the membership as a whole in a General Meeting.
Appointment of trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, trustees are elected by the members or co-opted by the trustees to fill a vacancy in their number or as an additional trustee.
The Board gives periodic consideration to the desirability of appointing further trustees.
Objectives and Activities
The company is established to help students of school age to develop a wide variety of social and technical skills as well as fostering the disciplines associated with performance. It works to achieve these aims by leading students through the process of mounting technically demanding marionette productions. It also accommodates the involvement of older people in limited circumstances with notable social benefits to the participants.
The company publicises its activities through its website www.yppt.org.uk, via social media, and increasingly via word of mouth.
Achievements and Performance
Twelve projects took place during the reporting period in question. All of them went to normal completion except that because of Covid-related restrictions parents were not allowed into school to watch the performances live and had to be content watching live streams.

Trustees' Report
The projects all started on time in September and puppets had been completed by Christmas. Set design should have started after Christmas but was delayed by the sudden decision of the government to close all schools in January 2021. In part because the Department for Education decided to cancel the Year 6 SATS exams, thereby removing from teachers a huge amount of pressure, it was possible to re-schedule later in the Spring all of the sessions that had been lost in the 10 weeks of closure from January.
Of note, we worked with three schools for the first time.
Mandeville Primary is a two-form school in St Albans. The puppets which a group of older people had begun to make in January 2020 for use at the summer school ended up being used in one of the projects at Mandeville Primary School, and a further set of puppets was made by Trustees and other members of the community in and around St Albans for the other project at Mandeville. The projects were successful and we will have been working with the school again in 2021-22.
De Havilland Primary is a two-form school in Hatfield. The projects run there were the first time we had worked with Year 4, children as young as eight years old. The projects were an experiment and we did not guarantee the school that there would be a successful outcome. In the event the children exceeded our expectations and were able to pull off creditable performances of Rumplestiltzkin and Keloglan but we found that the children's physical size presented some problems, making the projects very challenging for some of them. We would consider running projects again in Year 4 but only after simplifying some things and will concentrate on work in Year 5 and 6.
We ran two projects at Beechfield School in North Watford for the first time. Both projects ended successfully and we will have been running projects there again in 2021-22.
We live streamed all 12 productions, a process which involved a very steep short learning curve, once it became clear that covid restrictions would preclude external audiences. Most shows were broadcast with four cameras and over the course of the process both our camera angles and the sound quality were greatly improved.
The project at the Purcell school (which started in January 2020 and is not included among the 12 mentioned above) was further delayed because of Covid-related complications. It was restarted in June 2021 but then activity was re-suspended because of the pandemic and is expected to be completed during the 2021-22 academic year.
The summer school we had been intending to run in August 2020 at the Abbey Theatre in St Albans was not rescheduled for 2021 because there seemed too much covid-related uncertainty. We are expecting to run it in the summer of 2022.
The script writing competitions we had run in 2020 both came to successful conclusions, with a total of seven scripts being added to the library. Of the seven, one had its maiden outings in 2020-21, four will have had their premieres in 2021-22, and the remaining two in 2022-23. We also commissioned two new scripts outside the confines of a competition. One was completed during 2020-21, our first script relating to a specific major renovation grant funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, which will premier in 2021-22. The other will also premier in 2021-22. It is a collaboration with the TV celebrity Martin Roberts.

Trustees' Report
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Operations
We ended the year with two very exciting changes in prospect. One was moving our office to the Trestle Arts Base in St Albans, a process which began during the second half of August 2021. We have a small office and storage space, and will be able to run short and long workshops in the building.
The other was the hiring of a part time administrator who will have started work on 1 October and who will be taking charge of the increasing workload in dispatching materials for projects, and in social media management
Financial Review
The company remains in its initial phase and the Trustees' priority has been to ensure that its projects are run on at least a break-even basis. This has been achieved but for the time being the smooth running of the company's operations remains dependent on its Chief Executive Jeremy Duschenes.
During the period a small loss of £(1,871) was recorded on the charity's activities, as a result of which the charitable company's reserves are now decreased and there remains a deficit since inception of £(10,648).
The Trustees are pleased to note that in spite of the small loss recorded, the charity's fund-raising efforts for 2021-22 have been very successful, including two significant multi-year awards and that the charity has the prospect of being at its most healthy financially by the end of the 2021-22 financial year.
The Trustees note that the ability of schools to fund projects continues to be affected negatively by changes in the funding formulae applied by the Department for Education, and that the company is, and will continue for the time being to be, under pressure both to raise funds itself, and to assist schools in finding funds to support projects.
Reserves policy
During this period the company recorded a small loss but overall remains on a trajectory eventually to recoup the accumulated deficit in relation to its start-up costs. This continues to be funded by the company's Chief Executive, who has confirmed to the Trustees that he will not seek the payment of the sums advanced until such time as the company is in a position to do so. The Trustees are committed to not having the company undertake any activities or run any projects which are not fully funded, and as such while it may take some time to eliminate the deficit previously accumulated, there is no reason to believe that it cannot be eliminated and reserves then built up.
The Trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves to be held by the company would be six months' running costs and intend to work to achieve this position once the deficit has been eliminated.
Material events after the end of the reporting period
The Trustees are required to consider events after the period to which this report pertains which could affect the company's ability to operate.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Young People's Puppet Theatre
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 19.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
· examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
· follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
· to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2021
1. Accounting policies
1.1. Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (issued in October 2019) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
1.2. Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis.
The company is dependent on the continued support of grant aiding bodies, donors and the loan provided by the chief executive (note 16). The trustees believe that the company will continue to receive this support and accordingly consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

1.3. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when:
-
the charity is legally entitled to the funds
-
any performance conditions attached to the income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity
-
there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable
-
the amount can be reliably measured
- Donations and legacies
Grants/donations are recognised in incoming resources in the year in which they are receivable, except as follows:
-
when donors specify that grants/donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods
-
when donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included in incoming resources until the preconditions for use are met.
- Charitable activities
Production income - income from box office, performance fees and sundry other theatrical income is included in incoming resources in the period in which the relevant show takes place.
Project specific funding - when donors specify that donations and grants are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.
- Donated services and facilities
Donated services or facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
- Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Young People's Puppet Theatre
(Limited by Guarantee)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2021
1.4. Expenditure
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered and is recognised when:
-
there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment
-
it is probable that settlement will be required
-
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably
- Charitable activities
Theatre production costs - costs incurred in production and running of productions toured in the year.
- Support costs
The administrative and overhead costs associated with running the office from which the company operates as well as governance costs. Support costs are wholly attributable to theatre production costs.
- Governance costs
Costs associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity.
1.5. Fund accounting
Funds held by the charity are either:
-
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
-
Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
1.6. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised at cost.
Depreciation is provided at annual rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
- Fixtures/fittings/equipment 25% on reducing balance
1.7. Stock
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised on receipt at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market
1.8. Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
14
Young People's Puppet Theatre
(Limited by Guarantee)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2021
1.9. Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.10. Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
1.11. Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value, and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
1.12. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
In determining the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the charity makes assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The charity's estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and expectation of future events and are reviewed annually. Further information about key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation of uncertainty, are set out in the notes.

The total incoming resources for the year have been derived from the principal activity undertaken wholly in the UK.
