## **Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit**
## **Principal purpose**
To advance the education of the public in the dramatic arts and to further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts by promoting participation in public performances and the presentation of public performances in Northenden, Manchester and the surrounding area.
## **Main activities**
Encouraging participation from the local community in the execution of theatrical pursuits. We regularly present live performances of plays and encourage participation from all in various aspects of stagecraft. Normally 5 plays a year and various other community-inspired events and now visiting organisations.
## **Public benefit**
Northenden Players strives to meet its objectives as a charity and use its resources efficiently and effectively. In addition to our own programme of 5 performances, it has been gratifying to see the building being used for other community events and the chance for the facility to bring drama to the people.
## **Volunteer contribution**
All members are volunteers and the theatre runs entirely from voluntary efforts with no paid staff.

## **Achievements and Performance**
Another season of sell out performances indicates that Northenden Players Theatre Club are getting it right on stage and meeting the objects of the constitution of the charity in at least one respect. Their community commitment continues to enhance their reputation as a quality venue, and they look forward to more opportunities. The Charity will press forward next year with a planning application to enhance the facilities and create a new community space.
## **Financial Review**
The general financial performance is positive, and income has exceeded our expenses over the year. This has left the charity with a balance of £95,041.73
Whilst this figure is high, it is anticipated that they will be beginning to spend some of those reserves over the next 12 months as they progress a planning application for development of the site.
## **Additional Risks**
None.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 30[th] June 2025. **Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of 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 Act.
**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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 accounts to be reached.
