Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims and future plans
The objects of the CIO are:
1) We ran our Woodhill Families Group, a space for 5 families who have been bereaved by prison suicide. We ran 21 sessions, in partnership with the University of Nottingham we co-created three training resources and we ran training for social workers and staff at the Howard League;
2) We premiered our new production Woodhill, a Verbatim dance piece made with and about people who have experienced the bereavement of a loved one in prison. We performed the show at Oxford North Wall (381 audience members) in July, Summerhall Edinburgh (2,085 audience members) in August and Shoreditch Town Hall (1,107 audience members) in September / October. The show received 5 star reviews in the Guardian, What’s On Stage and The Evening Standard.
3) We continued our work as Creative Associates at the National Theatre in their Learning department on the project Speak Up. This was the second year of a three year project which sees young people co-create work with local artists in 55 schools across 9 areas of England. As part of our role we delivered artist training in each area and supported the curation of the end of year sharings.
4) We continued to run our Young Carers Creative Makers programme which saw us partner with local theatres and local young carers services in Barnsley, Wakefield and Huddersfield and run free, creative workshops for young carers during the school holidays.
5) LUNG continued to partner with Harrow Arts Centre and ran two terms of ‘Harrow Young Creatives’ - an artist development opportunity for young people 18 - 25 to experience masterclasses in different aspects of theatre and lead an intensive make week where they create their own pieces
6) From January 2024 we relaunched our weekly ‘True Stars’ groups - sessions for care experienced young people in Havering and Essex, who are co-creating a Verbatim musical with us: ‘The Children’s Inquiry’.
7) We ran an r&d of our new production ‘The Children’s Inquiry’ which will premiere next financial year. This involved working with the creative team to finalise the composition, movement and casting process
8) Three new members of the core team were recruited: a Development Manager; a Producer (Communities and Campaigns); a General Manager. These three new roles have been embedded across all company programmes throughout the year and have contributed to the significant growth in output of the company
Future Plans
The main activities and achievements planned for the next financial year are;
-
To continue our monthly Woodhill families group, working closely with those bereaved by prison suicide
-
To continue our role as Creative Associates on the National Theatre’s Speak Up programme, supporting in the training of artists and design of end of year sharings
-
To continue to run our Young Carers Creative Makers programme during school holidays across Barnsley, Wakefield and Huddersfield
-
To continue to partner with Harrow Arts Centre, but in a consultation role, supporting the theatre to run the programme independently of LUNG
-
To continue our weekly True Stars group, working with care experienced young people in Havering and Essex and to co-create our new Verbatim musical about the social care system for children
Public benefit
The charity trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
During the year ended 31 March 2024 income resources was £349,406 (2023: £151,350) and expenditure was £287,556 (2023: £74,750). An in year surplus of £61,850 was reported for the year ended 31 March 2024 (2023: £76,600).
At the end of the financial period (31 March 2024) the CIO held £148,726 in closing reserves, with £125,066 allocated as unrestricted funds and £23,660 as restricted funds.
Activity is budgeted and planned as per successful funding applications and venue contracts, and so reserve levels needed are low. The CIO has modest overheads to budget for, and financial commitments for overheads or staff costs do not extend beyond three months months and therefore the level of reserves, when factoring in reserves that earmarked for future projects, is appropriate against this commitment. Having reviewed future plans, the Trustees are satisfied that the company holds sufficient cash reserves to meet ongoing activity.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The charity may by ordinary resolution appoint a person who is willing to act to be a trustee, and determine the rotation in which any directors are to retire.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Lung Productions CIO
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lung Productions CIO
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Lung Productions CIO (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.
We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the previous paragraph has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a true and fair view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following Account and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
No significant judgements or estimates have had to be made by the trustees in preparing these financial statements other than as described in the following accounting policies.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid relating to prior years at the balance sheet date.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
