INTERMISSION YOLTfH
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFrr
We t))ntinue to transfomi the lives of young people aged 1￿25* who are lacking in
opportunty, surrounded by thalleroing enVIr￿ments and are predominantly Ibul not
exclusivety) from diverse ethnic communities in Greater London. The cornerstone of
our work is our Youth Theatre (1thonth) Programme, using theatre, and specifically
the works of Shakespeare. lo devek)p creativtty, buikl confidence, increase Srfe skills
and encourage self-expression in a safe environment. Through mentoring and
wellbeing suppor( we help the young people make positive choices. encourage them
into further ed￿￿tion, prowde r￿rteS into employment and increase their life
chances.
We have seen the need to engage young people earlier in their joumey and in 2024
launched our Youngers Programme which intrcMJuced 8 13 week theatre programme
to those between the ages of 11 and 15.
We continue to prowde professional development, ongoing life-skllls and mentorirrfJ
support to our graduates. many of whom are navigating their way through systemic
barriers in the film, TV and theatre irKlustries.
Through our Community Empowerment Programme. we have supwrted excluded
pupils and young pec¥)le in local ￿mMunitieS and pupil referral units.
2024
Another suc(%ssful year for the 104nonth Youth Theatre Programme. 40 young
people were selecled from over 150 applicants to join the Youth Theatre. 33 made tt
through to the final production. with 7 dropping out for various r6asons. We remain8d
in touch with those who did not complete the programme and offer6d our support in
different ways.
The workshops were led exceptionally well by Nana An￿l-NYanlll (Youth
Programme Manager} and graduate facilitators. For 3 of the facilitators, it was their
first year facililating on Ihe Youth Theatre Programme and they took to it like ducks
to water. It is very speaal for us lo have young people who have been through the
programme themselves coming back and leading their peers and the younger
generation through the course.
As always, summer school was great fun and the group enjoyed the intense
schedule of Monday to Saturday workshops, giving them the opportunity to wotl( with
extemal practitioners and test Iheir durability and resilience with early starts and late
finishes - a great rehearsal for lrfe!
The production was a triumph - Much Ado Aty)ut Nothing Remixedl! The 2 casts
brought an array of I2￿nt to the stage and their training over the 10 months was well
ewdenced through their impec(%ble stage craft, professionalism and creativity.
Audiences and reviewers were wowed. and the s￿W deservedly re￿iVed some
amazing press and reviews.

INTERMISSION YOUTH
Six of the cast secured intervtews with repulable agents. wth the consideration of
professional representation.
The biggest win of the year, however, has to be the personal growth of each young
person on the programme. Expressed during the post-show talk and evidenced
throLEgh our end of year debrief. where each of them passionately expressed that
being a part of the Youth Theatre Programme has been a transformative experience.
Lives have been changed and saved: and I have little doubt that a major contributing
factor lo this is the ama￿ng work of the thaftiy.

Case Study.. G8nevieve- From Participant to Junior Fundraiser
Growing up in East London, Genevieve had a passion for storytelling but limited
access lo the arts. With no dear pathway into the industy. they felt excluded from
spaces that nurtured creativtty.
That changed with Interniission Youth Theatre. The programme offered more than
training - it was a space of ￿aMing. self-discovery, and transfomiation. Through iyr,
Genevieve developed both personally and professtonally, growing in ￿nfiden￿ and
finding their Vol￿ as an actor end changemaker.
Inspired by their journey, Genevieve applied for the role of Junior Fundraiser at
Intemiission Youth. Today. they help secure fijnding so that others Gan benefit from
the same lrfe<hanging opportunity.
Worknng at Intemiission Youth has given me pu￿Se. I'm using my sknlls to gwe
back to the programme that helped me beli8ve in myself, notjust as 8n a￿St. bul as
a person..
Genevieve continues to pursue their creative goals while helping to shape a more
inclusive future for the next generation of artists.
Back Sta
The Backstage Programme is now a peTmanent fixtu￿ in our programming. There
is a real gap in diversity when it comes to representatTron from the global majorty in
technical production and our backslage programme ts a fantastTrc way for us to do
our part in addressing this imbalance.
Of the S young people we took on this year. 4 of them are actNely seelang a career
in back-stage production. with one of them, recei￿ng a scholarship for the technical
production BA course at IAMDA. This is a truly amazing retum and something we

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Our work would not be possible v￿thoUt Ihe generous donations of many people.
Thank You. This year in we received large financial donations and received donated
services from many individuals and organisations which have been included in the
accounts (See 2.1 and 3 in Notes to the Financaal Statements).
The year in remew has seen a reduction in the d￿ationS and legacies received.
however the drffialions received in Ihe prtor year gave the tharity the rese￿e$
required to expar)d its services and use some of Ihose reserves io fund this
expansion. As can be seen in the notes below we have dBsvJnated more of these
reserves this year lo enable us to continue these services over the coming year and
will be endeavouring to secure In￿eased funding in FY26 as well as generating
other income streams to be sustainable long tem.
In 2024 we delivered a busy Youth Theatre Programme, including our pilot Youngers
Programme for 11 to 15 year olds, and an expanded Backstage Programme
increasing from 3 to 5 backstage trainees who ran both our Youngers pr(Kluction in
June 2024 and Y¢)ulh Theatre Production at the end of the year.
Our Communty Engagement Programme has continugd at the same pa￿.
We are grateful to the following tTUSts and fI)Undat￿nS for helping fvnd our work in
2024: The Golden Botue Trust. The Jack Petchey Foundation, The Backstage Trust.
The Gosling Foundation, Arts Council England, Nelwork for Social Change, Garfield
Weston and many more. Our trustees also continue to suppM)rt us financially. whlch
we greatly appreciate.
The trustegs are aware of th8 need lo incr&as8 major donor and corporatg support
going forward to give the charity a Sustainab￿ future, as well as continuing with its
trusts and grants applications and eamed income opportunities.
Reserv&s Policy
Th8 Irustéés approved an update to the reserves policy to target 3 to 6 months of
operating expenditure. The trustees will review the reserves policy going fo￿ard, Ixjt
the level of free reserves provides aSsUrar￿e that the charity can continue operaling

There are no outstanding loans, liabiltbes or commitmenls b8ing carried by the
