## **CHAIR’S STATEMENT** 

When putting together my first report last year, with the ambitious plans we had for our second year to have it actually be a year full of uncertainty with the world devastated by Covid-19 has been heart breaking. 

In March 2020 we were forced to stop everything we were doing and re-evaluate.  The financial impact of Covid-19 is still being felt today and it’ll be some time before we know the full extent of the impact. The RABBLE Theatre team have done an incredible job reacting with immense speed and decisiveness, moving classes online and coming up with inventive ways to ensure the continued success of our aims despite the ongoing crisis.  Their focus and commitment to delivering artistic and educational productions for the people of Reading throughout the challenges has been commendable.  I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the whole RABBLE Theatre team for their unshakeable dedication to ensure its future success. 

More information on our Covid-19 response can be found on page 6. 

Despite the pandemic, we achieved so much in FY20, launching our website rabbletheatre.com which absolutely encapsulates RABBLE’s passions to be bold, inclusive and inspirational, everything we hoped it would be.  Our commitment to accessibility has strengthened with the launch of the RABBLE Hardship fund in partnership with Aviva Community Fund creating free opportunities for social interaction, skill development and meaningful cultural engagement at productions and classes.  In 2019, thanks to fundraising efforts, we got 900 Reading pupils into our shows who ordinarily would not have been able to attend, the opportunity to extend this further is truly wonderful. 

The support we have received for the campaign to save Reading Gaol has been overwhelming with messages coming from Sir Kenneth Branagh, Dame Judi Dench, Natalie Dormer, Shazad Latif, Reading’s own Kate Winslet and even Banksy paying a visit to adorn the Gaol with his artwork. 

While we are unable to entertain you in person, we thoroughly enjoyed our foray into radio and online productions with _Who Killed Alfred Oliver_ in partnership with BBC Radio Berkshire, our Christmas show, _The Online Nativity_ and are proud to share our _Monologues from The Conquerors Trilogy_ . We are working hard in the background to bring you productions in the Summer of 2021 starting with The Last Abbot of Reading hosted in the Abbey Ruins. 

2020, while only being our second year from a reporting perspective, was actually our third active year so we underwent our first review of trustees.  We were sad to accept the resignation of Steven Pidcock but look forward to 2021 with the remaining original trustees and space for new expertise and insights to join us. 

Everything we do would not be possible without the generous support of our RABBLE Rousers, Sponsors, Partners and the many of you that will come along to

our productions, workshops and educational events when we are up and running. I thank you unreservedly. 

With the post Covid-19 landscape still unknown, it is necessary for us to be cautiously optimistic and adaptable and I believe RABBLE Theatre is perfectly positioned to accept this challenge.  This Board is committed to working with the Executive team to ensure RABBLE Theatre produce critically acclaimed theatrical productions in person once more. 

Victoria Lavery-Ball Chair of the Trustees

## **COVID-19 STATEMENT** 

While it will take some time for us to realise the full impact across the economy of the events caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we know a wide range of businesses across all industries have felt the effect.  Charities in particular have seen fundraising slow and donations reduce significantly. 

In March 2020, in accordance with Government guidelines we announced that RABBLE Theatre moved our education programmes and masterclasses onto Zoom meaning that we were able to not only continue teaching, but also maintain the community that we’ve built up over the years. This really did keep the morale going. 

We shall continue to monitor events and adapt accordingly, investing in our online strategy as well as our in person strategy in order to meet our goals and ensure the future of RABBLE Theatre.

## **OUR CHARITABLE AIM** 

The aim of RABBLE Theatre is to: 

_advance education of the public in the arts, in particular through training and workshops in the performing arts and through providing performances for the benefit of the public, in order to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds in Reading and England to appreciate and access the performing arts._ 

As this was the charity’s inaugural year, it was all about shaping our future and setting off on the right path in accordance with the RABBLE Theatre Constitution. 

As a charity, the objectives of RABBLE Theatre can be described under the following headings: productions, audience engagement, classes and workshops, diversity and solid ground for the future. 


## Productions 

RABBLE will provide a variety of productions in each year to benefit the public.  All productions will be for the education of the public in general, giving everyone the opportunity to learn, regardless of their background, financial position or any other factor. 

## Audience Engagement 

RABBLE will continue to develop new ways of engaging audiences, in particular to engage new audiences who might not normally attend theatre. 


## Classes and Workshops 

RABBLE will offer term time classes, work experience and regular workshops to individuals, schools and the public in general to educate and inspire.  All charges for classes and workshops will be made to be as affordable as possible and RABBLE will seek grants and/or donations to enable the charity to offer interested parties both merit scholarships and hardship scholarships. 

## Diversity 

RABBLE will continue to develop new ways of engaging a diverse range of actors and theatre creatives who reflect the wide-ranging community that we call home in Reading and are passionate about the aims of the charity. 

## Solid Ground for the Future 

RABBLE Theatre relies on donations, grants, sponsorship and the generosity of the public to cover both production and operating costs.  It is important we develop income streams, invest appropriately into our physical infrastructure and operate responsibly to run at a small surplus, build up an operating reserve and move to sustainability.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## Governing Document 

RABBLE Theatre is governed by its Constitution dated 12 September 2018.  It is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission. 

## Appointment of Trustees 

In accordance with the Constitution, apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity. 

## Trustee Induction and Training 

In accordance with the Constitution, the trustees will make available to each new trustee, on or before his or her first appointment: (a) a copy of the current version of this constitution; and (b) a copy of the CIO’s latest Trustees’ Annual Report and statement of accounts. 

## Organisation 

The board of trustees, which must have a minimum of 3 members, administers the charity.  The board meets quarterly and there are subcommittees covering finances and development.  An Operations team has been appointed by the trustees to manage the day to day running of the charity. The Operations team consists of:

## **Education Officer: Louise Gilmour** 

Responsibilities include building the audiences of the future for RABBLE Theatre. 

## **Community Fundraising and Marketing: Evi Pagrati** 

Responsibilities include finding inventive ways to meet our fundraising goals and ensuring we make the most of all communication channels available to us. 

## **Bookkeeper: Ania Haskins** 

## Related Parties 

None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit for their work with the charity.  Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity with a production company, actor, performer, exhibitor must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as a relationship with any other contractual relationship with a related party.  In the current year, no such relationships were declared. 

The charity has a close relationship with Reading Between the Lines (RBL) Theatre Company, an established theatre company set up in Reading in 2012.  It is a company limited by guarantee, and directors Dani Davies and Toby Davies have been running the company for the last 6 years.  The company is very successful, funding its work through Reading Borough Council, Arts Council England, The Wellcome Centre, The Earley Charity, local businesses and individual donors.  Over time, RBL Theatre Company will transfer its assets, including name and goodwill, to RABBLE Theatre and we the trustees, will continue the work that RBL Theatre Company has started. 

## Risk Management 

The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises: 

- An annual review of risks the charity may encounter 

- The establishment of procedures to mitigate those risks 

- A plan to implement those procedures should those risks materialise 

The use of this strategy has identified the primary risks to the charity are financial stability and the lack of a dedicated rehearsal/performance space.  The key elements to mitigate these risks are sufficient working capital to be maintained in the charity and working with other local organisations to find a “home”.

## **TREASURER’S STATEMENT** 


Our inspiring forecast for the year ending 31 January 2021 soon became something of a distant dream once the COVID-19 pandemic closed the country down in March 2020.  Like so many others, all our planned productions were unable to take place, with creativity and innovation driving everything to ensure some form of education, training and possible productions could continue. 

The team worked relentlessly to deliver a successful year which included a radio airplay on BBC Berkshire “Who Killed Alfred Oliver?” They transformed all their education and master-class training programmes into live online interactive workshops. They participated in Reading’s Twilight Trail community event and managed to produce a successful live streamed production ‘The Online Nativity’ over the Christmas period. 

All of this was made possible by the loyalty and generosity of all our patrons, donors and corporate sponsors, who during unprecedented times enabled our immerging charity to continue to succeed. 

This year’s financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis, in accordance with the 2008 Regulations and the SORP. The financial accounts have been approved by the Board of Trustees and externally verified by an independent examiner – see Independent Examiner’s Report.

## **FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 31 JANUARY 2021** 

These accounts should be read alongside the Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet – see Accounts. 

|Total Net Income<br>Total Expenditure<br>Income less Expenditure|£173,453<br>(£116,742)<br>£56,711|
|---|---|



Key events with fnancial impact during the Charity’s year of operation were as follows: 

1. Covid-19 meant that the planned productions were unable to take place at all and seriously impacted the forecast income for the year. Instead, the following innovative productions were showcased : 

   - a.   Who Killed Alfred Oliver? - A radio play aired on BBC Berkshire - this was not an income generating production. 

   - b.  Twilight Trail - a walkthrough light trail with recorded theatrical readings - generated a small profit. 

   - c.   The Online Nativity - a live streamed Christmas show - broke even financially. 

   - d.  Expenditure was incurred in relation to The Last Abbott and in relation to The Snow Queen, both were postponed productions, which are now scheduled to take place in the 2021/22 year. 

   - e.   The Get Up On Stage and Acting School classes had to be moved online for a large part of the year. This meant additional costs were incurred. 

2. The Head Partnership and Macbeth Insurers continued to kindly support RABBLE as sponsors. Unfortunately, there was a loss of some anticipated sponsorship due to Reading Festival having to be cancelled due to Covid-19. 

3. Reading Between the Lines (RBL) made two very generous donations, in accordance with their articles of association in specifying the distribution of any remaining assets on winding up of the company for a community purpose. The sums consisted of funds to be used for general purposes, and an additional deposit that is to be used for restricted purposes, as designated by RBL. 

4. Grants were received from ACE and The Leche Trust. These were allowed to be re-purposed from their original purposes. In addition, a discretionary government Covid-19 grant was received from RBC.

5. Grants from Garfield Weston and from The Earley Charity, for restricted purposes in 2021/22 were received and these have been reflected in the balance sheet under restricted funds. 

6. The Caversham Centre was unable to be used during lockdown whilst still incurring ongoing costs such as business rates and utilities. Unfortunately, notice to vacate at short notice was given by the landlord in November 2020 and subsequently, room hire costs at alternative venues had to be incurred for in-person classes that took place in between the lockdowns. 

7. One-off expenditure was incurred on the development of a brand new website and ticket booking system. 

8. Ongoing staff costs were incurred during the year in respect of the executive and artistic directors, the office manager and additionally the bookkeeper and marketing officer. In addition a fundraising officer was engaged in January 2021. None of the staff are employees or Trustees of the Charity. 

## The Charity funds as at 31 January 2021 are represented by: 

|Net Assets:<br>Cash at Bank<br>Debtors<br>Prepaid expenses<br>Current Liabilities:<br>Creditors<br>Deferred Income<br>Accruals<br>Charity Funds:<br>Restricted Funds<br>Retained Earning<br>Surplus 20/21|£66,650<br>£   7,971<br>£   1,780<br>£76,401<br>£  1,976<br>£  6,516<br>£  6,021<br>£ 14,513<br>£35,091<br>£  5,177<br>£21,620<br>£61,888|

- Master-classes which were invoiced in January but the income and associated costs are to be recognised fully in the 2021/22 accounts. 

- Restricted Funds as set out above from Garfield Weston, Earley Charity and Reading Between the Lines. 

## _Debtors include:_ 

The amount held by EventBrite relating to the Christmas production. 

## _Prepaid expenses include:_ 

The amount in respect of annual costs paid in advance, such as website running costs and insurance as well as a deposit and advance payments in respect of room hire.
