TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their annual report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. This report serves as both a Trustees’ Report and a Directors’ Report under company law.The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Charity SORP (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019.
Since the charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies has been omitted.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Aims
Total Insight Theatre’s mission is to use the arts to help vulnerable children and young people overcome barriers to progress, thrive and reach their full potential. The charity’s objects are to advance the arts for the public benefit by:
-
Providing equal opportunities for individuals to experience performing arts and other forms of artistic and cultural activity
-
Encouraging learning about culture, tolerance and good citizenship 3. Encouraging confidence, empowerment and creativity
Our beneficiaries are children and young people who are experiencing social and economic disadvantage.
Public Benefit
In planning activities for the year, the Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance under section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
In 2024/25, the charity marked its 10th anniversary, celebrating a decade of using the arts to transform lives. Over this time, we have supported more than 23,000 children and young people across England. This year, we continued to engage participants through a blend of in-person and digital delivery — combining creativity, coaching and wellbeing support to help children and young people overcome barriers and thrive.
Our work is also underpinned by a lived experience leadership model: the CEO and many of our Trustees, staff and facilitators have first-hand experience of the challenges our beneficiaries face.
Total Insight Academy
This year we developed and delivered Total Insight Academy, a CPD-accredited national coaching and mentoring programme for underrepresented creatives aged 18–30. The programme offered 10 places for the cohort, combining coaching and mentoring, training and project bursaries to enable participants to reflect, plan and take tangible next steps in their creative careers.
The cohort reflected our commitment to inclusion with 57% identifying as Global Majority, 86% as disabled or living with a long-term health condition and over 50% based outside London — meeting our geographic inclusion target and broadening reach across the Midlands and beyond. Feedback was exceptionally strong, with 90% of participants reporting increased confidence, clearer next steps and a stronger belief in their creative voice. Creative outcomes included performances, zines, workshops and digital projects, and several participants went on to secure further funding, launch collaborations and deliver their first public work.
Demand significantly exceeded availability, confirming the need for this support and leading to a growing waitlist for future cohorts. A significant development this year was the launch of our Youth Engagement Network (YEN), coordinated by a Total Insight Academy alumna. This network provides peer learning, networking and alumni-led events, helping sustain momentum beyond the programme and strengthening the voice of lived experience in shaping future delivery.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Film Programme
We delivered a film project with NHS North East London Cancer Alliance to raise awareness of bowel cancer symptoms and the importance of early screening, particularly among men from Global Majority communities. Through focus groups and co-creation sessions we directly engaged over 280 participants and partnered with organisations to extend the indirect reach of the film and toolkit to more than 1,000 viewers.
The project resulted in a high-quality, emotive film and digital information toolkit that are now being used by community partners to support early diagnosis and encourage cancer screening uptake. Following the success of the project, we have secured follow-on funding to replicate this model for other cancers and to continue disseminating the resources more widely.
Creative Support Hubs
Our Creative Support Hubs continued to provide free, high-quality creative opportunities for children and young people with limited access to the arts, particularly those eligible for free school meals or experiencing poor mental health. Activities focus on wellbeing, creativity, confidence skills and self-expression with over 90% of participants reporting improved wellbeing, new friendships and increased confidence. A key iteration of these hubs are our Dance Hubs which focus on movement and physical expression to support wellbeing and creativity.
Space Between (Grief Support)
We continue to deliver Space_Between, a creative grief support programme that helps young people process bereavement and connect with peers who have shared experiences. Initial sessions laid the foundation for cocreated resources to support other young people navigating grief.
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT AND FUNDING
The charity is particularly proud to have secured significant multi-year core funding from Paul Hamlyn Foundation (including new follow-on funding confirmed at a value of £100,000), alongside support from Backstage Trust and UK Youth. These investments strengthen our financial resilience, support organisational capacity and enable the charity to deepen impact in 2025/26 and beyond.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Position
Total income for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £251,682 (2024: £75,282), reflecting a significant growth in grant income, including multi-year core funding from Paul Hamlyn Foundation and UK Youth. Expenditure on charitable activities totalled £115,122 (2024: £87,595), supporting the delivery of our programmes.
This resulted in a net surplus of £136,560 (2024: £12,313 deficit), leaving the charity with total funds of £201,857 at year end (2024: £65,297). Of this, £54,642 was held as restricted funds and £147,215 as unrestricted reserves. A significant proportion of the year’s income represents multi-year funding commitments, which are recognised in full on award in line with charity accounting rules. These secured funds provide a strong foundation for programme delivery in 2025/26 and beyond, though they are not all held as cash at year end.
Reserves Policy
The charity’s reserves policy is to maintain free reserves equivalent to at least three months’ running costs of £25,000 to provide financial stability and enable responsiveness to emerging needs. At 31 March 2025, unrestricted reserves of £147,215 significantly exceeded this target.
A proportion of these reserves reflects secured multi-year funding, recognised in line with charity accounting rules. This strengthens the organisation’s ability to plan ahead with confidence, invest in capacity and deliver programmes sustainably over the coming years, rather than representing surplus cash available for immediate use.

Going Concern

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Total Insight Theatre ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the Charity (and 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 Charity 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 the Charity's accounts 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
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity 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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Total Insight Theatre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This assumes that current and future sources of funding will be adequate to meet the charity's needs and that expenditure levels will be adjusted should funding expectations and reserves appear inadequate. For this reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Company status
The Charitable company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the Charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charitable company.
The registered office address is 3rd Floor, Paternoster House, 65 St Paul's Churchyard, London, EC4M 8AB and the principal place of business is Unit 5, Cobden Chambers, Pelham Street, Nottingham, NG1 2ED.
1.4 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised as income when received, except in circumstances where the donor specifies the time period that the donation relates to, in which case they are recognised as income in that period.
Revenue and capital grants are accounted for when notification is received and conditions are met. Where the grant agreement specifies the time period over which the funds should be spent, they are recognised as income in that period. For multi year grants that have been awarded with no performance related or other conditions, income is recognised to the extent that the Charity is entitled to the income. Other grants are recognised as income when received.
Performance fees are recognised in the period in which the performance took place.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.6 Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciated and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 25% Straight line |
|---|---|---|
| Computer equipment | - | 25% Straight line |
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.8 Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
1.10 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
1.11 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.12 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Total Insight Academy is a free national coaching and mentoring programme for 18–30 year olds facing barriers to entering the arts. Participants received coaching, mentoring, masterclasses and bursaries to create new work and progress their careers.
Film Programme
Our film programme supports community groups and partner organisations to use film as a tool to further their objectives. We provide professional filmmaking support that enables children, young people and communities to co-create original films, explore issues that matter to them and develop new skills. Projects this year have resulted in films being used in education, awareness-raising and community celebration.
Creative Support Hubs & Dance Hubs
Our Creative Support Hubs provide free, high-quality creative opportunities for children and young people who have limited access to the arts. Hubs offer inclusive activities that support wellbeing, confidence, skills and self-expression. Our Dance Hubs are one iteration of the Creative Support Hub model, focusing solely on dance and movement. These hubs give participants the chance to explore creativity through physical expression, develop dance skills and improve their wellbeing through active participation.
Space Between
