Registered Charity Number 1194499
Unit 3, Taunton Station, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 1QP
## Trustees Report for the year ending 30[th] September 2023
## **Objectives**
The objectives of the Charity are to promote the advancement and improvement of general education in relation to all aspects of the art of drama and the development of public appreciation of such art by giving performances in Somerset West and Taunton and neighbourhood. Our intention is to bring theatre to those communities to whom it would otherwise be inaccessible.
## **Activities undertaken for the public benefit**
In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our committee/trustee meetings. Our main activity remains the staging of live theatrical events and outreach to the area of Somerset West and Taunton.
## **Review of activities**
Since our last report in September 2022, our theatre performances have included the following Lockdown in Little Grimley, Coven’s convention, Absent Friends, and a one act play festivals, many of these toured a number of village hall venues, as well as having short runs at the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre, all with excellent audience feedback.
Several play reading evenings and other social events such as an Easter themed evening, summer barbeques and a Christmas Meal event were held at our rehearsal premises which were open to members and non-members alike. This was a great social activity and encouraged new members to join us.
We have continued to improve and develop our premises, including additional lighting for our hall, more stage lighting for performances, and further development of our kitchen and bar facilities. We have also worked hard to rationalise our existing rooms in our building to provide better and more secure storage lighting. Works to improve roofing and waterproofing of walls has resulted in a drier more comfortable environment for our members
## **Financial Review**
