All this, supported by some sound finan¢ial managemeTht by the executive team, endorsed by our Finance and Audit Conunittee, puts us in a stable position to tackle the challenging fu￿¢la1 years ahead as we navigate the later stages of the capital redevelopment, and ahead of opening the Significant new facility in Flintshire.

The produced work tl]i5 year saw us deliver 13 plays. 10 of which f0T￿ed part of Truth or Dare. This celcbration of Welsh and Wales b85ed new writing talent, supported by 20 a¢tors. meant we continued t() offer wide s¢ale opporiullity and employment for our sector in Wales. We a150 rtvisited one of our previous hits, with The Imrnersive Great Oatsby (which we opened ij) 2018 before its transfer to the West End) taking over a disused pub on the High Street in Mol¢L and playEng a 10 week run to 2lldiellces who visited as requested, in 1920's kttire and ready for a uniqiie theatrical experieDee. We're pleased to say that the pubs owner5 ttow have planning to one of the oldest tnn's in North Wales, whi¢b has b¢ell derelict for over 10 years. into a bar and hotel, a dire¢t consequence of our work with them reactivating the space after so tnany years. We then produced the first ever adapted version olFleabag. with Pheobe Waller-Bridge allnwing us to be the fjrst company to prod￿Ce the stage play without her playing the role. The production, adapted into W¢lsh, opened at the national Eisteddfod and then a national tOUT of Wales before coming to play on home turf in The Mix Theatre.

Withollt doubt the biggest w)d¢rtaking for the teatns at Theatr Clwyd was the delivery of the Palltomime. delivered in a bespoke Big Top Theatre hostiDg over 900 capacity in a thrnst stage confiouration, The production of Sleeping Beauty, Co-Directed by our As$ociate8 Dan Lloyd and Francessca Goodridge (previously a trainee director at Theatr Clwyd) was a hug¢ success and would have played to over 40,000 people were it not for five nalned weather fronts over the period of two weeks that saw us h8Ve lo ralltel 5 performances due to safety Considerations.

The 2024125 f￿an¢[al year budget was signed off with a deficit. which is to be expected given we have DO theatre spaces at our Flirltshire sitt for 6 months ot the year as we ready ourselves for opening of tbe new facility. The 2U25f26 financial year, being reviewed at the time of Thryiting this report, will miss out on two key months of trading due to the delayed timings of the capital project. Added to the tact that we have many aspects of our work that can be dee]ned a5 '5tart up, (our cOnf][￿ed food and beverage partnersJ)ip with Michelin star Chef Bryn Wiliams. and our events side of the business aTe two such examples) will incur additional investment in year one. We are also aware that we are likely to require direct 'Iheatr Clwyd inve5tD]ent into the capital project, and whilstthis might be achieved via prudelltial bO￿oWIng at Local Authority level, we mind￿1 of not adding long tem] revenue burden to the charities trading and delivery.

This yeaT has also seen us take signifi¢aDt steps in the research and plat)ning for Stiwdio C1￿¥d, which is envisioned to b¢ 3 n8tioRal development studio for theatre makers in Wales. Havitig researched other national Stttdlo￿art1Bt dev¢lopJnent s¢hen)es, and then conSlllted with over 70 theatre makers from across disciplines, we are excited about the development of the studio in comftng years. This has been bolstered by a new funding rel&tionship with The John EllerniaT) Foundation who art offering 3 year funding, which ID tum allows us to appoint a new Director of Stiwdio- a new senior lead¢rship role fw this important ttew str￿d of our work. Co]nEuunity Care How will we use theatre making attd the arts to help the most vuInerable pe4)ple in our Communities? This area looks at our referral partnerships, working with experts in their fields to identify what their clients. patients, or parti¢Épants need. and tailoring our art% progranunes to support them. The most ethblished of our pgrtnerships are.. with Flintshire Social Services, whose team ￿eMberS work closely with us daily to enable the 400/0 of young people within our weekly groups on bursaries to keep attending. and working iu a person-centred way for ¢ach individual who has come through our holidayhubs and into our regular sessions. with Betsi CadwaladT University He￿th Board, with extensive refe￿al programmes into our 4 regular dementia and Alzbeirner groups.

SfTrmethiDg for Everyolle W6 are not in an urban centre, and Enally of thE ¢OllLEnunitics and audiences we servc only bave us - how do we offer something for everyone? Over the past 6 years the senior team haye embedded strong data tracking and surveying to ensure we know, omd Can respond to, communities and audience feedback. and adjust programming to suit. However, the next st¢ps go fvrther as we aim to build a mechaossrn to allow members of communities to decide what programming appears oll ow slage5. This work has progressed in several ways, they key areas io mention are.. The Flintshire 6 programme. Designed specifically to engage with members of communities who do not engage or thll￿ Theatt CIMyd is for them. Our ConuDunities Associates have spent 12 mootbs embedded iji C(Innah's Quay. Flint. Sbotton, Buckley, Hol}'well, and Mold, spegking with people and r￿dIng out what their interests 2re. This has led to a second Stage where we support people to progran]m¢ important spaces within the lo¢al 8r¢a with programming they wallt. Two examples include a p￿b in Flint wbo w¢ now sUPPOrt to deliver regu13r standup comedy PTogramming both during the day and evening (many shift Workers use ibe pub 3nd those working nights rarely have wces$ to live cultural content),. and a cl￿b in Shotton wh¢re the forces veter8n group have been given cornets, and are reteiving lessons fri) our musicians, so that tbey are able to play tbe Last Post at frieDds funeral$ rather than playing a CD. Our newly established Youth Advisory Board consists of 14 young people between the ages of 12-25. One of the executive team, another senior leader. and one board member attend each of their meetings, and their Chair is soon to become a ￿11 trustee of Thtatr Clwyd, with the Vice ChaErjointng us as an ob$¢rver at meeting$. These are two such examples (amongst many) of blliliting full agency for our communities within the cboices we make and enabling us to continue to offer something for everyone.

This year has seen us a￿ee an average pay award of 5.5Q/D aCTOSS the core Company, seen a ￿11 benchmaiking exercise for freelance fees with all dis¢iplines receivitiE an uplift, and we have also increased our expenses rates to match the rise iti costs. All of these will receive an allnual review, and we proud to ensure all our rates remaln above industry union minimums for an orgauisation of our scale. tn addition to this a strong wellbeing programtne has been put in place, with in house counselling provision available to all company niembers, including guest freelancers (with the prO￿amMe available beyond their contrdcts if required), and supported by an external team of counsellors who we can refer company members should they have specific need5 (gender preference, Welsh Speak￿5, and global majorrty as t1￿ce such examples).
