## **Trustees Report** 

The trustees present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2022. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charity Commission guidance on the preparation of accounts by Charities with gross income of less than £250,000 and comply with the charity’s governing document. 

## **Registration** 

The charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) no 1177956 was formed on the 16[th] April 2018 and is governed by the conditions contained within its constitution. 

## **Address** 

The charity’s registered address is Barbaros Ensemble, 18 Linden Road, London, N11 1ER 

## **Trustees** 

The Trustees of the Charity are Francesca Bailey, Tahmid Chowdhury, and Jonathan Lacey. 

## **Objects** 

The purpose of the charity is to promote the art of drama for the public benefit in particular but not exclusively by providing public theatre performances. 

## **Structure, Governance, and Management** 

The charity’s daily work is limited to research and development at this stage. The Trustees are satisfied that the charity works within the objects. 

## **Financial Matters** 

Barbaros Ensemble’s income for the financial period was £13,016 and its expenditure was £20,000. Income was derived from a grant from the Irving Memorial Trust, and gift aid payments for donations in the previous financial year. The expenditure went towards the renovations of our permanent research site in France, and covering the necessary expenses of the artists who are working to bring the project to life. Our expenses exceeded our income in this financial year, but this is not cause for concern, as the trustees also received pledges for two major grants that will be paid in the summer of 2022.
