## **CHAIR’S THANKS** 

In this document we report on a year in which we continued to recover from the closures forced upon us by COVID pandemic, but found ourselves still some way from returning to a new normal. Artists are still struggling and new work is hard to find, audiences have still not returned to previous levels and increasing costs have impacted on all aspects of our operation.  Despite this we are reporting on a successful, exciting and adventurous year to March 31 2024, with new approaches to programme development. My sincere thanks go to all the staff members lead with great skill by the Creative Director and Executive Director, particularly our new Creative Director Natasha Brown who joined us in the year. Thanks also go to my fellow directors who continue to offer their expertise, knowledge and energies, on a voluntary basis, to support and develop our operation 

We are most grateful to all those that supported us during the financial year; organisations, funders, trusts and foundations and individual donors. Our audiences and users/hirers who are critical to our success and we greatly appreciate their continuing support and engagement. 

Since the end of the 2023/24 financial year, the organisation has faced serious financial challenges and we have had to significantly scale back our operations while we stabilise our finances. We remain committed to providing a welcoming arts venue for people in Streatham and the surrounding area, and are working to establish a sustainable business model for the future.

## **Report of the Trustees** 

## **OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objects of the CIO are: 

To promote, maintain, improve and advance education in and appreciation of the arts in all forms among the people of Streatham and the surrounding area. 

1. To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Streatham and the surrounding area the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants. 

Nothing in this constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for purposes which are not charitable. 

The three main activities of the charity during this year continued to be to: 

1. **Celebrate our community and their stories through creative events** 

   - We provided a varied and affordable performance programme across theatre, music, spoken word, visual arts and comedy that allowed cultural exchange and brought our community together. 

**2. Empower young people through access to creative opportunities** 

   - We provided a platform for showcase opportunities and accessible cultural experiences to the doorstep of young people in our area 

   - We programmed affordable family theatre 

## 3. **To be a springboard and laboratory for emerging creatives to take risks** – 

- We supported freelance creatives, particularly those who have traditionally been excluded from arts spaces because of race, class, disability, or sexuality, to develop their careers and bring their work to our own local audiences, as well as audiences across the UK. 

- Through the affordable hire of spaces we supported local entrepreneurs, charities and artists.

## **Report of the Trustees (cont’d)** 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

Streatham Space Project is a theatre and multi-arts centre rooted in its neighbourhood in south London. The high-quality and affordable cultural and creative programme we offered during 2023/24 brought people together and reflected the vibrant cultural diversity, identity and experiences of the people and communities in our neighbourhood. We wholeheartedly believe in the importance and power of the arts in people’s lives. Our events aimed to promote community cohesion, connect people, and inspire joy. 

We incubated local creative talent to support and platform the next generation of south London artists contributing to the wider arts ecology and the UK as a creative community. Small scale, grassroots venues, like us, are perfectly positioned to engage and support people in their lives or careers and our direct connection to the local creatives that come through our spaces gives us a unique insight into their needs. 

We programmed to engage our local audiences from a range of cultural backgrounds, with 40% living within 3 miles. These include price-conscious families, young adults passionate about spoken word and new music, south London theatre and comedy enthusiasts looking for quality provision, and people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds looking for content that is made by and for them. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **In 23/24 we supported 984 artists, hosted 9,396 audiences and 916 audiences accessed our free events. Selected highlights around different strands of our mission are outlined below:** 

- In May 23 we partnered with The Old Vic on _Community Club_ , providing 206 tickets to 12 local community groups (Inc. Renaissance Studios and Mosaic Clubhouse) to come to our storytelling festival. 

- In June 2023, 200 free tickets were booked for our Windrush75 all-day festival which featured a free Community Feast, children’s activities, a marketplace, and performances.  All free tickets were booked through our ticketing system, where audiences can opt in to join our mailing list. To retain these audiences we follow up and signpost them to similar activities. 

- At the beginning of this year we welcomed a new Creative Director, Natasha Brown, to the organisation. Natasha brought her experiences as a freelance writer, director and facilitator across theatre and TV to the organization. Natasha’s vision for SSP was to be a “playground” for young people, adults and artists to take part in cultural activities and develop their creativity. This was achieved over a series of themed seasons or ‘festivals’ and outreach projects across the year, developed in conversation with our artists, charity partners and community members. 

- In June we programmed our first Neighbourhood Day celebrating Windrush 75 with free activities for all age ranges. We will aim to secure additional funding to make this a regular event. 

- In July Edinburgh theatre previews gave our audiences the opportunity to see brand new work before it went on to the festival including Waiting For The Train At The Bus Stop exploring domestic violence and intertwining spoken word poetry with Zambian oral storytelling traditions.

## **Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)** 

- In August we launched a pilot artist development programme, Risk Is This, where emerging artists from underrepresented backgrounds spend a week together sharing skills, exploring new ideas and pushing their artistic practices. 

## **Report of the Trustees (cont’d)** 

- From September to December we hosted 14 events for Come Through, a festival of youth culture, platforming musicians and spoken word performers from underrepresented backgrounds including black, female, and working class, supported by a National Lottery Project Grant from Arts Council England. 

- In October there was 5 events for Good Trouble, a festival of good troublemaking for Black History Month; inspired by a quote by Civil Rights activist John Lewis: “Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble…” 

- Throughout the year we continued to support emerging artists with many hours of in-kind rehearsal and development space. This included a diverse range of South London artists bringing  their work to our own local audiences, as well as audiences across the UK 

In all these the trustees have paid due attention to the guidance of the Charity Commission in ensuring that all of these activities are undertaken for the public benefit and/or preparing the charity for undertaking its primary activities all of which are for the public benefit. 

## **FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES** 

In this year we were fortunate to continue attract significant grants from both public bodies and from trusts and foundations. The key grants were: 

- National Lottery Projects from Arts Council England of £29,924 in support of the “Coming Through” Festival 

- Postcode Lottery Grant of £25,000 

- Front Line Lambeth grant of £250 

- Lochlands Trust Grant of £7,500 

- Backstage Trust grant of £10,000 

- InStreatham Community Events Fund grant of £1,000 

- Garfield Weston grant of £3,7500 

- Lambeth council grant of £10,000 for Neighbourhood Days 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Results for the year** 

The financial model for ThinkTank Theatre is to achieve at least a break-even position on activities or programme that is undertaken. Any surplus income from ticket sales, hires or activities will be used to build up reserves in line with the reserves policy, and to further the charity’s aims and objectives. 

The rising costs of all goods and services has continued to impact on our operation and on our communities, lowering their disposable income. Audience behaviour is unpredictable, and attendance remains lower than it was pre-COVID resulting in lower audience numbers than we predicted.

## **ThinkTank Theatre (Streatham Space Project) Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)** 

## **Report of the Trustees (cont’d)** 

In the year 2023-24 income was £276,363 of which £235,439 was unrestricted and £40,924 restricted. In comparison in the year 2022-23 income was £313,767 of which £194,662 was unrestricted and £119,105 restricted 

Expenditure in 2023-24 was £336,291 of which £223,599 was unrestricted and £112,692 restricted. In comparison, in the year 2022-23 expenditure was £309,485 of which £262,148 was unrestricted and £47,337 restricted. 

The detailed figures are included in the financial statements. At the year ended 31 March 2024 the charity held general funds of £18,749 (31/3/2023: £6,909) and £0 in restricted funds (31/3/2023 (£71,768). Total funds held at the 31[st] March 2023 were £18,749. (31/3/2023: £78,677). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The CIO has set the intention to work towards building a reserves equivalent to 3 months operations. 

This would amount to £55k, to include: 

## a) One month’s salaries 

- b) Any redundancy payments due to staff 

- c) 3 months building operating costs (e.g. heat, light, maintenance) 

Our reserves position at 31 March 2024 was general fund £18,749 (2023 £6,909) restricted funds £0, (2023: £71,768), total funds held £18,749 (2023: £78,677). This was below our targeted reserves position. 

## **Post balance sheet event** 

At the end of the financial year, our projected income and expenditure for 2024/25 was targeted to generate a breakeven outturn for the year. However, during the course of the first quarter of 2024/25 we were unsuccessful in a series of grant applications, and income from our trading activities was below targets. This meant that in July 2024 we had to take the painful decision to reduce our staffing team and scale back our programme of activities to ensure we could remain financially viable. From October 2024 we have been operating a limited programme of community activities while continuing to provide lettings to locals and other users with a part-time staffing team. 

## **Going Concern** 

In July 2024 the Trustees reviewed projected income and available net reserves. Our assessment was that there was a risk that future income would not be sufficient to cover planned expenditure. Trustees therefore decided to pause the planned programme of activities to focus on income generation and cost restructuring, including redundancies among the permanent staff team. Trustees are currently seeking to establish a viable business model to allow the organisation to return to full operations in the future. 

Trustees have discussed the position with the independent examiner; their opinion is that, based on the information available to them at the point of signing of this document, Thinktank theatre has the capacity to return to a trading surplus. The cost cutting decisions taken in July 2024 mean that it remains solvent.

## **Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)** 

## **Report of the Trustees (cont’d)** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity was established in 2017 and is controlled by its governing document, a constitution. 

## **Charity constitution** 

Streatham Space Project is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The charity is governed by its board of trustees who are appointed under the terms of the constitution. The Board must consist of at least five but no more than fifteen trustees. 

New trustees are proposed by serving trustees and elected with a majority vote by the existing trustees. Proposed trustees are invited to meet with the chair, Creative Director and Executive Director and to observe a quarterly meeting. If, after this, potential trustees wish to serve on the board, the existing trustees will then decide whether or not to invite them to become a trustee. The trustees are also the members of the CIO. 

When considering appointing new trustees, the Board has regard both to the charity’s need for any specialist skills and to the diversity of the Board’s membership. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Newly appointed trustees undergo an induction process including briefing them on their responsibilities as trustees, decision-making processes, the charity’s governing document, the strategic plan and recent financial performance, and the latest set of the accounts of the charity. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The board of trustees meets at least four times a year. During these meetings, all matters regarding the management and the furtherance of the organisation's charitable aims and objectives are discussed and decided upon. A Finance and General Purposes Sub Committee has also been established. 

## **Decision making** 

Decisions are reached by consensus or, when necessary, by majority vote among the (at minimum) two voting members attending. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the organisation is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

The Trustees’ risk management strategy comprises of a comprehensive budgeting and planning system with an annual budget; regular meeting of the Finance Subcommittee; monthly review of the management accounts vs budget. 



Page 8 

## **ThinkTank Theatre (Streatham Space Project) Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)** 

## **Report of the Trustees (cont’d)** 

The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed on a regular basis.  Particular risks that are being regularly monitored include: 

- Reduced income due to audience/hirer appetite due to the Cost-of-Living crisis 

- Reliance on Private Hires activity 

- Reliance on successful fundraising and public subsidy and the increasingly competitive market 

- Lack of touring theatre product 

- Personnel capacity and wellbeing 

Mitigations Include: 

- Reduction in cost base in line with reduced income 

- Cautious budgeting around income targets 

- Regular review of management accounts vs budget 

- Focus on income generation activities and developing a robust income  plan to cover core costs 

The Trustees feel that this approach allowed them time to identify the future financial risks and to reduce activity and financial commitments accordingly; the financial position remains fragile, and the Trustees are working closely with the interim management team to monitor and manage the position. 

The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the charity's trust deed and the statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 02. 

## **Independent Examiner** 

A resolution proposing that Bridget Kalloushi ACIE be appointed as independent examiner of the charity has been put to the members and approved. 

The report was approved by the board on 3 February 2025 and was signed on its behalf by:

## **d) Incoming Resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when:

## **e) Expenditure** 

As a non-company Charity expenditure is recognised on the accruals basis under SORP (FRS 102). All costs which can be directly attributable to charitable activities are allocated thereto. It is not considered that any purposes would be served in apportioning support costs to particular charitable activities as to do so would be arbitrary and could be misleading. 

## **f) Fund accounting** 

Funds held by the Charity are either: 

- Unrestricted General Funds – these are unrestricted funds of the charity which cab be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 



Page 13 

## **ThinkTank Theatre (Streatham Space Project) Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)** 

## **Notes to the Accounts (cont’d)** 

- Restricted funds – these are funds that can be used for particular purposes within the object of the Charity. Restrictions are when specified by the donor or when the funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

## j **) Financial instruments** 

The Charity has only financial assets and 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. 

## **k) Significant accounting estimates and judgements**
