Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. 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
Objectives and activities
In planning activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The core focus of our activities remains to offer young people, aged 10 to 18, opportunities to develop their life skills and talent through the art of musical theatre, performed to the highest standards. We have a limited number of places each year for new members and these are selected at audition, having only regard to their ability to sing, dance and act. We work to ensure that financial circumstances are not a barrier to joining WOW or participating in our activities.
WOW is operated by a committee of unpaid volunteers who give freely of their time and also act as trustees of the group's charitable status. Additional volunteers provide invaluable support in areas such as fundraising, costumes and backstage.
WOW continues to be affiliated to the Dorset Youth Association, which provides helpful advice as well as access to the Disclosure and Barring Service for checks on our volunteers.
Main activities
WOW made a joyous return to the stage in November 2021 with a one-act WOW Show, directed and choreographed by Martine Burt. This was WOW's first production for two years. It was performed by a core cast of 21 who had continued with WOW through the challenges of the pandemic period, including remote and hybrid rehearsals in groups.
Bucket collections from the show, which was dedicated to the memory of two former members, raised £330 for causes nominated by their families - Papyrus and the RSPB.
In December 2021, a group of 12 performed a 30-minute cabaret for members of the Dorset branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, which was warmly received by the audience. That same month, WOW provided the free loan of professional radio microphone equipment to Wey Valley Academy for their production of Elf, the Musical, saving them significant hire fees.
WOW continued to give current and former members free access to our studio to rehearse and record pieces for their Performing Arts College auditions.
Financial 2019/2020
Around 40 per cent of our incoming resources of £36,451 was made up of Theatre Tax Credits of £14,096. Income of £14,035 from our single show made up over 60 per cent of the £22,355 of other income. With expenditure of £20,550, this enabled WOW to end the year with net income of £15,907 compared with -£18,405 for the previous year. Overall movement in funds for the current year and prior year combined was therefore -£2,498.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of WOW Youth Musical Theatre CIO
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of WOW Youth Musical Theatre CIO ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.
