## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 2[nd] April 2020 Period start date To 1[st] April 2021 Period end date** ## **Charity name: Monster Cat Theatre CIO** ## **Charity registration number:** 1177293 ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To advance in life and help young people,
living in, but not exclusively The London
Borough of Ealing, for the public benefit,
through theatrical drama-based activities
that develop their skills, capacities and
capabilities, to enable them to participate in
society as mature and responsible
individuals.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|During the period covered by this report the
UK was under severe restrictions due to
the Covid 19 pandemic. This curtailed the
normal functioning of our charity and we
were unable to complete any specific
projects for the direct benefit of children
and young people.
However, we were able to begin to
comprehensively improve and formalise our
planning and governance policies and
procedures.
We also continued to apply for funding for
our Bullying Awareness Project from
several sources including: The Dixie Rose
Findlay Charitable Trust; The Gosling
Foundation Limited; The Graham Kirkham
Trust; John Lyons Charity and Arts Council
England.| |Statement confirming

had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit.|Para 1.18|In shaping our objectives for the year and
planning our activities, our trustees have
considered the Charity Commission’s
guidance on public benefit. The trustees
always ensure that the projects we
undertake are in line with our charitable
objects and aims.| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|We are not a grant making charity.| |Policy on social investment

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Covid 19 pandemic has prevented us
from commissioning the delivery of any
projects to children and young people.
However, we have been able to strengthen
our governance policies and procedures,
and plan for a time when we are allowed to
deliver projects which will benefit children
and young people, and wider society as a
whole.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||Para 1.41|We have been unable to achieve any of our
project delivery targets due to the Covid 19
pandemic and associated restrictions.| |---|---|---| |Achievements against
objectives set||| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|In our Financial Forecasts we set ourselves
a target of £16,800 grant funding to be
secured from various funders.
We have not been able to achieve this
objective and were not awarded any funds
in the year ended 1 April 2021. However,
we have progressed to the second round of
an application for a small grant of £5000
from John Lyons Charity. This will hopefully
come to fruition in the next financial year.
During the year ended 1 April 2021,
funders seemed to be focusing their
resources on easing the effects of the
pandemic.| |Investment performance
against objectives|Para 1.41|We do not have any investments.| |Other||| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|At the end of the period, the charity held
cash at bank of £1005. This £1005 is
unrestricted funds.
The charity had no other assets at the end
of the period.
The charity had no liabilities at the end of
the period.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The charity’s reserve policy is to maintain
free unrestricted reserves to provide a level
of working capital that protects the
continuity of our core work, to provide a
level of funding for unexpected
opportunities, and to provide cover for risks
such as unforeseen expenditure or
unanticipated loss of income.
The Board of Trustees has reviewed the
above criteria with reference to the CIO’s
strategy and business plan and has
determined the target level of unrestricted
free reserves should be 6 months'
of operating expenditure.
In this context, operating expenditure
excludes any project-related expenditure
that is funded from restricted grants or
restricted reserves.
As at 1 April 2021, the charity held £1005
unrestricted free reserves which was
comfortably above the target level of 6
months’ operating expenditure.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|As at 1 April 2021, the charity held £1005 in
unrestricted reserves.| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|We plan to remain a small self-help CIO
with no paid staff or other overheads, using
any Restricted funds within each year and
only for their associated project.
Consequently, at the present we do not
need or have any financial reserves.| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|We do not have any funds in deficit.
The Trustees declare that the charity had
no funds that were materially in deficit at
the date of the statement of assets and
liabilities.| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|Para 1.23|We do not have any uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going concern.| |---|---|---| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|Para 1.47|During the 2020-21 financial year, the
charity applied for restricted grants for
specific projects. However, no grants were
received during the financial year.
The operating costs of the charity are
minimal due to its small size and the
contribution of services made by its
volunteers.| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|We do not have an investment policy as we
are not planning to make any investments
for the foreseeable future. The charity will
develop an appropriate investment policy
should the need arise.| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The principal risk facing our charity at the
moment is the Covid 19 pandemic and the
associated restrictions. This has made it
more difficult to secure funding as funders
are directing their resources to projects that
specifically ameliorate the effects of the
pandemic.
The charity does not have any operating
costs other than insurance and so our
financial risks are low.
The charity is currently reliant on a single
supplier, Monster Cat Theatre, for the
delivery of drama workshops. If Monster
Cat Theatre’s business was disrupted to
cease to trade, this would impact on the
charity’s ability to commission the delivery
of workshops. Monster Cat Theatre also
makes a significant contribution towards
the preparation of the charity’s grant
application to funders.| |Other||Particulars of Any Outstanding Guarantee
Given by the Charity:
The Trustees declare that the charity has
given no guarantee where potential liability
is outstanding at the date of the statement
of assets & liabilities.
