2 Structure, Governance & Management
2.1 Charitable Objects
- (A)To advance the arts, in particular the performing arts for the benefit of the public, particularly but not exclusively, through public performance, theatre, playwriting and drama which challenges audience perceptions of social issues; and (B) to advance the education of young people and the general public in performing and dramatic arts, particularly but not exclusively, through the provision of workshops, performance, public discussion and other educational programmes.
2.2 Trustee Selection Methods
Doll’s Eye Trust currently has four charity Trustees with a range of necessary skills and experience necessary to manage the charity effectively. On our Board we have legal expertise, as well as education and fundraising. Trustees are appointed or re-appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
3 Activities, Achievements & Performance
3.1 Statutory Declaration
The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
3.2 Overview (Executive Summary)
This year, Doll’s Eye Trust did not conduct any charitable activities in line with their objects. There was a funding application made to Arts Council England which was unsuccessful. No fundraising activities were undertaken, and as such no funds were raised. Charity advisors commit their time in a voluntary basis and aside from writing the funding application, were unable to commit any more time to fundraising for Doll’s Eye Trust, in the context of their own full-time employment.
3.3 Looking Ahead
Doll’s Eye Trust advisors will continue to explore working to deliver voice and public speaking training, utilizing theatre training techniques and forum theatre, to social enterprises or other charitable trusts/ organisations. This project is in very early discussion stages and if approved then Doll’s Eye Trust advisors would seek funding for the project accordingly.
