## **TRUSTEE’S REPORT**
This report will cover the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. The report has been prepared in compliance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
## **Charitable Objectives**
To advance public education in, and appreciation of, dramatic arts through the production and presentation of public performances.
To develop and encourage an interest in theatre, literature and history, in particular but not limited to young people.
## **Aims**
Not Cricket entertains and educates through theatre, interactive performance and associated creative arts. Working with a range of educational, heritage and community partners, the company revives classic texts and forgotten historical narratives. All of its work is based on rigorous research and the company is always seeking new locations and stories.
## **Activities**
Due to unforeseen circumstances relating to staffing and as a result of factors linked to the pandemic, Not Cricket’s activities were reduced in 2022 and there was limited income generation, with much of the listed income attributable to activities carried out in December 2021, but paid for in January 2022. The charitable reserves, however, were sufficient to pay for any necessary outgoings during the year.
Not Cricket’s working partnership with the National Trust for Scotland continued early in 2022 with a handful of small-scale events and projects. During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, links were renewed with C ARTS and there is the potential for future collaboration between the two organisations. Research and development work was carried out on a script for _Three Men in a Boat_ with a view to performing this in 2023. This production will form part of a plan to increase activities to pre-pandemic levels going forward.
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit (section 4 of the 2006 Act) and through the work detailed above, they consider that the charity is fulfilling its obligations by achieving its objectives.
