## **RAH RAH COMMUNITY THEATRE COMPANY**
## **(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS'**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022**
## **Governing Document**
Rah Rah Community Theatre Company is a charity constituted as a private company limited by shares. Its purpose and administration arrangements are set out in the constitution. The constitution was adopted on 7th November 2016 and amended by special resolution on 28th February 2017.
## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees**
Recruitment and appointment of trustees is done by the company. Gaps in experience and expertise are identified and a search for new trustees from our own networks is carried out. As written in the Articles of Association, trustees of the charity should be:
- Over 16 years old
- Not disqualified from directorship
- Not disqualified from charity trusteeship
## **Objects of the Charity**
The Charity’s objects are to advance education for the Public Benefit and to preserve and protect the good physical and mental health of the general public by the provision of artistic performances and workshops. Our aim is to take theatre into the community that makes an impact, having a particular focus on using theatre for social change so as to raise awareness and using theatre as a form of therapy. We specialise in physical theatre, audience interaction and using drama therapy techniques.
## **Main Activities for the benefit of the public in the Period**
The trustees have read the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and will continue to deliver the charity’s projects within the guidance.
## **Main Achievements of the Charity in the period**
**• Rock Around the Clock August – September 2021 (Final dates due to Covid August –October 2021) -** Our Rock Around the Clock was a musical comedy and love story, set in the 50’s containing all the popular tunes of that time. The show toured community venues in London and the Home Counties primarily to an elderly or learning difficulties audience. Rah Rah received funding from the Culture Recovery Fund, Heart of Bucks (Community Foundation for Buckinghamshire), The R C Sherriff Trust and the Arnold Clark Community Fund to support the tour and offer shows to our most in need groups. This project brought some much needed joy and fun to elderly audiences and staff who have worked hard to adapt and cope during the pandemic. The tour was a celebration for community groups and care homes as they re-opened their doors.
• **Dick Whittington 29 November 2021 – 21 January 2022** - Dick Whittington was an original pantomime with a twist! The show had plenty of songs, dancing, and comedy for the audience to join in with and enter into the spirit of Christmas. The show toured 180 community venues in London and the Home Counties primarily to an elderly or learning difficulties audience. The show was well received by all and we were pleased to see numbers of bookings back up after COVID.
• **Jingle Bell singers 28th November to 30th December 2021** - A collection of ‘feel good’ Christmas songs performed by our ‘Christmas Carollers’ with 3 part harmonies and a comic through line. The show toured 38 community venues in London and the Home Counties primarily to an elderly or learning difficulties audience.
• **Work Related Learning Shows (Ongoing Project)** - We continued to tour our shows: “Wex Factor” which prepares pupils for work experience and the world of work; “Enterprise: The Next Generation” which introduces pupils to the idea of Business and Enterprise; and our Communication Workshop which looks at enhancing pupils' communication skills in the workplace and in everyday life. We toured 20 schools across London and the Home Counties. We received funding from the KFC foundation to offer 5 free shows/workshops to schools and NEET groups in Merton.
• **Teddy Bear’s Picnic(Ongoing Project)** - Our old show, Rainy Day Bear’s Adventure was re-branded and re-marketed this year as Teddy Bear’s Picnic. The show is about Milly and her Bear who go on an exciting adventure to get to the picnic on time! The show incorporates puppets, well-known songs and dancing together with important educational areas such as numbers, colours and shapes. It is aimed at children aged 2-6. We went to some lovely new venues this year, including Chelsea Theatre and Nene Park which have opened up doors to new future work.
- **New Admin and Marketing Member of Staff** - Due to funding received from the Arts Council we were able to continue to
- employ our marketing and admin member of staff who has become a valuable member of the team and has assisted the charity in its recovery from the pandemic. We aim to continue to employ him which will enable the artistic team to spend more time focusing on new artistic projects.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS' (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022**
## **Challenges Faced**
Unfortunately due to Covid we have needed to reschedule about a third of all our shows booked for the period. This has been due to venues having cases of Covid, government guidelines lengthening lockdown and also our actors contracting Covid. Our admin team has had to put in an unprecedented amount of additional hours, some of which were unpaid. If we had not had the additional support of our admin and marketing officer funded by the Culture Recovery Fund, none of this would have been possible as we would not have had sufficient man hours. Due to the unforeseen additional work, instead of creating new artistic projects this year we have reused tried and tested projects. Bookings for both our work related learning shows and Teddy Bear’s Picnic were disappointingly lower than expected primarily due to insufficient time to market these projects.
## **Snap Shot of Feedback received this year**
· It brought life to the centre after such a long period of being closed. It was the first entertainment our members had been able to enjoy since Covid. The performers were excellent and very friendly.
· It was fun and interactive. The cast were very much in tune with our clients and reacted to them as individuals.
· It was so entertaining and the look on Dad's face made our day! They went out of their way to include the Residents and remembered their names - I was so surprised when they called Mum by her first name - it was wonderful.
· They loved it, they were able to identify the songs and sing along to them.
· Our members were over the moon to have the opportunity to get up and dance to the performance and have some fun interactions with the performers.
· The cast were absolutely brilliant . Lovely people, interacted with all our service users, were so friendly, great singers and dancers. After the show they took time to chat to our staff and service users. Will definitely use them again. Thank you all.
· Keep going, fantastic work. Loved the way you were all so personable and chilled and picked the right people in the audience to include in jokes! I think many of us were crying with laughter at one point!.
· it was lovely having live entertainment back in the home after such a long time, your guys were prompt, took time to listen to our residents and were funny. It was a great show and we will definitely have you back in for Christmas, Covid permitting of course.
· "One of our residents who normally wanders constantly, sat through the whole show and made comments such as "wonderful" and "very good" He even laughed at the jokes.
· Some of our residents who don't normally come down to entertainment, stated that they would like to come down again if Rah Rah were coming.
· One of our lovely residents who sits and doesn't show any interest and often says music is too loud, was tapping her foot along to the music, and was giggling when one of the performers came over to sing to her.
· Even the staff commented on the talent of the young people and are begging me to book them again.
· "They were brilliant!" "They are so talented" "It is so nice to have something different". These performers are amazing and do not realise how much enjoyment they bring to the clients.
· The residents we have in our care home have complex needs and we had a residents family member in that day and she really enjoyed the show as she said that her husband was really showing an interest in the music and was smiling and singing along to every song. Also the residents were all smiling after the show and some of the residents that can give feedback said it was a fantastic show and would love to have them back again in the home.
· A relative popped in the following day to ask what had happened the day before as the gentleman had gone home in a completely different mood and was so much happier than when he came in on the day of the entertainment.
· The highlight of my day was seeing one of our usually disengaged residents with dementia come to life with smiles and singing – it was truly a joy!. Please pass on our praise and thanks again to Matt, Lily and Lydia for bringing some much-needed festive fun during these strange and sometimes scary times.
· A big thank you to your talented performers in putting on DICK WHITTINGTON at our centre during such extraordinary times. Whilst only 5 people came to see it at the centre 31 saw it in the comfort of their own home online. We also provided a live link up via zoom to the local Children’s Centre and a Care Home with a total of over 50 people taking part! A big thank you to the three accomplished performers who strived to ensure that everybody had a good time!
· "Why can’t we see these shows more often”. " I haven't laughed so much is years". "My face aches through smiling".

## **Plans for the Future**
This report was made in October 2022. The charity feels it has survived the Covid crisis and is well on the way to recovery. Rah Rah is waiting in anticipation for the result of its NPO application for with the funding received we would like to continue to employ our marketing and admin member of staff, employ a part time funding officer, update our booking system, and most importantly create new artistic projects. If NPO funding is successful the new projects Rah Rah would like to start to work on are a piece on County Lines, a new community show and sourcing the opportunity to run another in house theatre panto. If we are unsuccessful these goals will remain the same: however we will seek funding from other sources and these goals may take longer to achieve. As well as starting new artistic projects we plan to continue to run our 3 ongoing schools’ projects, 3 community tours, our Teddy Bear’s Picnic show and finally revamp and market our human trafficking project. We also plan to
