ANNUAL REPORT 2025
I present the annual report for the 55th Annual General Meeting of the Sheppey Entertainments Association, Monday 27 October 2025.
This year we paid tribute to Yvonne Walker who sadly died in March 2025. Yvonne was involved with many of the theatre groups and had been a member of the SEA committee for a long time. On show nights if she wasn’t in the show, she’d be volunteering ushing perhaps or other jobs. If she was in the show you just knew she’d organised the song choices, the music, the costumes, the props and that her groups had rehearsed thoroughly. Yvonne was in the first show here – 50 years ago - and it’s sad she isn’t here to help us celebrate our 50[th] Anniversary.
To celebrate, all posters for all shows we’ve put on this year say 1975 to 2025, 50 years of live entertainment on Sheppey.
Our recent booklet is called ‘ Visionaries, Performers and Scene Shifters Sheppey Little Theatre – the show must go on’, We’ve put a video on You Tube and Facebook, 50 years of Sheppey Little Theatre... in posters, pictures and memories. We had our 50[th] Anniversary show, 50 years to the very day on 25[th] October 2025.
Our talks on the first Friday night of each month are popular with people coming from all over the island and beyond. They have included the Dutch in the Medway, Tales of the Riverbank and 50 Years of Sheppey Little Theatre. We’ve had great tribute acts here. In September we had an Abba Tribute act Kiss the Teacher which had a lively audience. The Jerseys wowed audiences yet again with their fantastic performances and storytelling. Sandy Smith came back and had them dancing in the aisles. The Everley Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis and Buddy Holly came back earlier in the month. Hank Marvin too. Our member groups continue to perform here to good audiences again this year. Later this year we have Fleetwood Mac tribute act ‘Our Own Way’ back, sold out again. Elvis and Billy Fury

will also be in the building. When we book shows audiences tell us who they loved, so we can book them again.
In March 2026 the Blues Brothers’ are coming. Sandy Smith is Cilla Black again and the Jerseys return for the 5[th] year running. We have a play and talk in March about the aviator Amy Johnson’s life. We work hard to book high quality acts to keep theatre audiences coming to see great entertainment to provide member groups with space to rehearse and perform at our Little Theatre. We thank our benefactors, committee and show night volunteers. We’ve had new volunteers this year including Justine and Ruby on lighting and Brian and Adam ushing. We’ve had students on work experience from East Kent College including Dylan, Jack, Francesca and Jessica. We welcome volunteers young and old to help us run the theatre.
This year we’ve installed Solar Panels. This was funded by donations from Minster Parish Council, Mike Whiting Councillor and donations from people in memory of Yvonne Walker.
We’ve welcomed new regular theatre hirers Christman Church on Sundays and Star Academy a new dance school, on Friday nights. We ran a day of lighting and sound awareness for East Kent College for 60 students which was well received. East Kent College also repainted and decorated some signs for our stage for the 50[th] Anniversary show. We’ll continue to look to partner local schools and colleges to give students experience of working at a theatre or to explore help they can give to us on jobs which need doing. Cinemas facilities are scarce on the island. We offer these facilities to organisations such as the Cubs, local schools and Seashells free of charge. We hire the theatre out to individuals for reasonable amounts, when we can, for private parties.
Thanks to Brenda Munday for the Facebook page and Tanya from Sheppy Glass for her help/support this year. Thanks to Janet Walton for cleaning the theatre. Special thanks to:- Derek for his work

maintaining/improving this lovely building, Pam Fauchon and now Karen Baxter for doing the staffing for our shows- Martin for his work stocking the bar - Janys accounts, paying performers and bills, getting grants. This year she’s been very successful getting the money for the solar panels, Andy for leading the lighting team so our lighting is fantastic. This year we’ve seen new people come to our shows, they often say how lovely the staff are here and how friendly everyone is.
Sheppey Little Theatre has a unique charm. Many people look around and say “I didn’t know about this place” or “I used to come here when I was a child, it’s lovely isn’t it?”
We need to keep the theatre going for the next generation. If you know anyone who wants to volunteer here please tell us.

SHEPPEY ENTERTAINMENTS ASSOCIATION RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025.
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the Sheppey Entertainments Association For the year ended 30[th] June 2025.
I report on the accounts of the Association for the year ended 30[th] June 2025 are set out below.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
. to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
. to 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 the 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 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 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 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.
