Wisbech Theatre Trust

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities Policies and objectives

The Charity exists to foster and promote:-

a) the maintenance, improvement and development of the Angles Theatre in Wisbech;

b) the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the arts amongst the inhabitants of Wisbech and its environs.

Activities for achieving objectives

The theatre produces an annual pantomime, various musicals and plays aimed at both the youth and adult market and puts on a variety of professional performances throughout the year. It hires its facilities to other local groups and a dance school. It also runs termly classes through its educational subsidiary, School of Performing Arts Ltd, and annual summer workshops for its youth membership.

Grant making policy

The Charity makes grants out of its restricted income fund for its subsidiary undertaking, The Wisbech School of Performing Arts Ltd, which runs educational courses. It makes no other grants.

Achievement and performance

Review of activities

This financial year saw the continued recovery after COVID-19 closures, with income from charitable activities excluding donations and legacy rising. Donations and legacies during this period were substantially lower than the previous financial year due to the end of the Cultural Recovery Funding received from the Arts Council. Our cash loss for the year after charging depreciation and asset scrapping charges of £23,235 was £3,600. We also incurred irrecoverable VAT of £7,738 for the year.

Works on improving the building continued, with the refurbishment of our kitchen, to provide a safe working area for volunteers working on bar, events or just whilst on breaks.

In person classes have continued, with student numbers increasing nearer to pre-pandemic levels. Our subsidiary The Wisbech School of Performing Arts continues to promote our classes to young people in various disciplines including musical theatre, graded dance classes and exams and holiday workshops.

Our inhouse amateur company continues to produce high quality productions including The Little Shop of Horrors, Kindertransport and our sell out run of Rapunzel.

At the end of March 2023, our long running electricity and gas contracts came to an end, with new pricing being substantially higher than ever before. The trustees will continue to monitor all costs and promote new ways of income generation.

Financial review

Financial and risk management objectives and policies

The trustees use QuickBooks accounting software and Sage forecasting software to generate regular reports and provide an up to date statement as to the financial position of the trust at any one time.

Wisbech Theatre Trust

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Financial review

Principal risks and uncertainties

The trustees are continuing to review all of the Charity's operations and developing a strategic plan to set out the major opportunities available to the Charity and the risks to which it is exposed.

As part of this process, the trustees are reviewing the risk management strategy which comprises:

The trustees have identified certain major risks as follows:

The Charity considers that the most effective way to mitigate these risks is to reduce costs to an absolute minimum but not at the risk of comprising the provision of a quality facility to our customers, to grow the number of students in our educational subsidiary company The Wisbech School of Performing Arts Ltd and to earnestly seek funding and grants to maintain and improve our facilities.

Reserves policy

The trustees have examined the Charity's requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation and have taken steps to substantially reduce expenditure in the short to medium term to turn the Charity's net current liabilities into net current assets. Once this has been achieved, the trustees will look at the level of reserves needed to run the Charity year on year.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Wisbech Theatre Trust

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Future plans

The trustees plans in the next year to:-

a) Undergo capital works to improve the customer experience.

b) Continue to rebuild our audience profile and numbers by more targeted marketing including the installation of a modern automated Box Office system, allowing analysis of reports more effectively, following reopening.

c) Enlist the support of professional organisations to increase our donations and charitable income.

d) Expand further the quantity and variety of in house productions by introducing additional experienced directors.

e) Audit the board's skill set and use the results to further improve the board's skill mix and efficiency.

g) Maintain the level of reserves to mitigate the reliance upon voluntary donations to the Charity, to enable it to meet its obligations and to expand the activities it undertakes in the Wisbech area.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Wisbech Theatre Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wisbech Theatre Trust

I report to the trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose of company law) on my examination of the financial statements of Wisbech Theatre Trust (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and related notes.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of charitable company you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’) and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
