Unexpected Places
Unexpected Places continues to direct the majority of team effort towards its educational branches, Light
UP and Little Lights, under the direction of Executive Director, Courtney Fayle.
This year, Unexpected Places successfully toured two products'ons to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The
first was a sludenl production from our Hamble Ensemble group of actors that range in age from 14-19. We
are proud to have produced an original inlerpretalion of Charles Dickens The Signalman, alongside this
tslented group of young performers. This project exposed our cast lo a range of opportunities, including
devising the script and recording their backing track at a professional recording studio and assisting with
marketing efforts in preparation of their tour. The performances were well received and sold out across our
week at Fringe giving the cast and our team an extraordinarily positive experience and a memory of a
lifetime. If that wasn't enough, the project was also nominated for Outstanding Drama Initialive at the Music
and Drama Education Awards.
W8 also took a work in progress pi8ce The Misunderstanding an Alb8rt Camus play, under Unexpected
Places, with a cast of professional perfomiers to the Fringe. This was a useful undertaking to test this piece
of work.
Unexpected Places remains the umbrella under which all activities are housed and this year outreach
initiatives across educational branches, Light UP and Little Lights have engaged with over 1000 families
taking them to Unexpecled Places with us.
Light up
Light UP remains at the heart of our organisation, providing a dynamic, safe and supportive environment for
young performers through our youth theatre programme. Despite financial pressures from post-pandemic
recovery and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. we are proud to have sustained a committed group of 150
members across four class strands in five locations throughout Hampshire. While membership has yet to
return to pre-pandemic levels, we have carefully managed resources, making necessary adjustments to
maintain the quality of our work and continue offering diverse, enriching perfomiance opportunities and
events to our members and their families.
Our members continue to thrive under our mentorship. finding solace and support in a community of
like-minded individuals and friends where meaningful connections and social networks for creativity and
support are formed. Our renewed focus revolves around providing tailored sessions, workshops, and
projects designed to inspire and empower each student, cultivab'ng a culture of encouragement and
unwavering support both within our team and the broader Light UP community. Our overarching objective
remains steadfast.. to equip our students wth the confidence to pursue their aspirations, whether on stage

UNEXPECTED PLACES LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31" JULY 2024
or in their everyday lives, fostering a belief in their ability to shine authentically whatever their student
journey.
Our LAMDA program continues to be highly successful in enhancing individual performance skills and
building confidence among our members who elect this track of training. This year, of the 31 students taking
LAMDA exams everyone re￿iVed either a merit or distinction. These achievements underscore the
effectiveness of our program in fostering talent. independence and confidence.
Throughout the period be￿een August 2023 and July 2024, we have staged numerous internal and
external showcases and performances. exemplified by projects such as our first ever combined company
production of Peter Pan. Shirfey Ensemble's devised piece The Wall and our Summer Youth Project..
Matilda, Jr.
Ordinarily our 6 company groups are programmed independently of one another but this past year, the team
suggested we combine resources to fully utilise our complimentary skill-set and establish a more
sustainable and effective working model that allows our team and our members to collaborate. From this,
our first combined company production took flight with Peter Pan which featured just over 60 members. The
project on the whole nol only proved successful in lerms of member engagement and audience response
but it also reinforced that this approach benefits our goal of building a creative community, excelling
member eXperIen￿S and opportunits'es and sustainability planning.
The Wall was created as a response to the #Beewell 2023 survey through Shidey Ensemble's work via the
#Beewell Young People's Participation and Engagement Grant which awarded us £800 used lo facilitate
the first stage of the project. Initial sessions were comprised of discussions, creative activities, and drama
exercises to help develop the skills required to complete the tasks sel by #Beewell and lo start devising our
response.Throughout the pro￿$$ emphasis was placed on nurturing Creativity and innovative thinking,
enabling participants to devise aclionable and impactful slrategies that address challenges identified in the
survey that can inspire real change and improvements in mental health and well being in our young people
and local communities. Over the course of 6 months and many devising sessions, a tapestry of original
poems and monologues were woven together and through rehearsal and further collaboration we found
ourselves crafting a relatable story about Ihe walls we build around ourselves which was presented in July
2023 as 'scralch night, performance for friends and family. The performance was exceptionally well received
by those attending. Currently we are in discussion of what the next stage will be for this important and
exciting original piece of work.
Matilda, Jr can now go on record as our most successful Summer Youth Project lo date. With 29
participating and audien￿ numbers of nearly 150 this was our largest engagement in the history of the
Summer Youth Project. The entire project was met with a great response from cast, crew and everyone
involved, including Hamble Players who assisted on lights. As per usual. Ihe cast demonstrated remarkable
commitmenl, camaraderie, resilience, growth, and professionalism throughout a demanding one week
rehearsal prO￿sS which resulted in a phenomenal production worthy of a week-long run. Feedback on the
performance was remarkable. leaving us no other option than to keep raising the bar. with Fmzen Jr.
planned for nexi year.
In addition to a variety of workshops, performances and our regular termly classes we were thrilled to be
able to organise the return of our Light UP Awards Night. Attended by over 75 of our members and 125
family and friends, this event was organised to celebrate our student community and Iheir many
accomplishments over the past year. The event served as an opportunity to showcase performance
highlights from across the year. introduce our Youth Board and promote and fundraise for our upcoming
2024125 Academic year. It was a wonderful event and will undoubtedly be a much anticipated annual event

YEAR ENDED 31" JULY 2024
going fo￿ard, by members, families and our team.
Little Lights
Little Lights begins its fourth year with a dedicated core of parents and followers due lo the incredible
commitment and passion displayed through our Little Lights leaders. It is unsurprising that feedback for
Liltle Lights continues to be positive from our loyal customers and those attending for the first time. In
addition to our regular weekly sessions, Little Lights runs seasonal parties, pop-up events and attends local
community events as opportunities arise. We are very grateful to have established a strong relationship with
local business Natal Bean, allowing us a free Spa￿ to run monthly pop-up sessions which have helped with
recruitment and brand awareness.
Despite the small victories, there have also been challenges and many of them remain the same from
previous years. It should be noted that since our last report we have downsized to 3 lorAlions from 4 due to
low allendanc8. R8cruitm8nl and retention of customers is the primary concern, due to the nature of
customer roll-over. Additionally a new factor we've noted is an unpredictable fluctuation in numbers across
locations Ihat makes it difficult to forward plan.
We continue to work on creating cohesion across the 3 strands. in particular hamessing the opportunily to
link Little Lights and Light UP creating continuity in our programming. This is something we'll be focussing
on in the next two years.
Amid some operational challenges. we've seen positive developments and new opportunities emerge,
particularly in our efforts to expand and diversify our community-facing activities. Already noted were the
sessions at Natal Bean but we're also delighted to report the success of another year of Play in the Park at
Royal Victoria Country Park. As in our previous year, the event is specifically designed for children under
five featuring creative and sensory play sessions with Little Lights and associated partners. New this year
was a family treasure trail to get everyone up and moving to explore the beautiful surroundings of the park
and to give families anolher opportunity to have fun together.
We were so pleased to have been joined by just over 500 attendees and to have learned so much from tha
previous year that helped us execute a super event. That said. plans lo continue the event inlo next year
have paused for a number of reasons. In its pla￿ a number of smaller events in areas where sessions are
delivered have been programmed over the summer giving us a better target audien￿ and a more
manageable schedule for the team. If successful. these smaller pop-up sessions may become a regular
feature in our summer programme. offering flexibility and consistency while keeping the spirit of Play in the
Park alive.
RISK POLICY AND MANAGEMENT
The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the charity- Risks are identified and
assessed and controls are established throughout the year. A formal review of the charity's risk
management process is undertaken on an annual basis.
The Trustees consider the principal risks to the charity to be=
the ongoing financial stability of the organisation from the ongoing impact of the cost of living crisis, the

UNEXPECTED PLACES LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31" JULY 2024
effects of the pandemic and a reduction in core funding
rebuilding our participant and audien￿ numbers post Covid to pre Covid levels
the rising costs of operation in our overheads. including hall hire fees and subscriptions
The key controls used by the charity include fomial agendas, minutes and actions for all Trustee meetings
alongside comprehensive strategic planning by the Executive Director and Senior Management. A budget
with greater levels of delail and infom)alion than ever before has now been implemented. Clear
authorisation and approval for all levels of expenditure were in pla￿.
Clearer lines of reporting, monitoring and evaluation for the organisation, its staff and its finances were
established through a collective effort by the Trustees and staff of Unexpected Places.
Controls over operation of the charity's bank account and periodic reviews of the adequacy of insurance of
the charity's fixed assets are considered to be adequately managed. PrO￿dureS are in place to ensure
¢ompliance with health and safety and safeguarding regulations in order to protect participants, audiences
and staff.
Such procedures are reviewed regulady to ensure compliance with the latest requirements. Through the risk
management processes established, the Trustees are satisfied thal Ihe major risks identified have been
adequately mitigated where n8cessary.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The income for Ihe year totalled £136,19412023: £145,348J and is shown in notes 24 of the accounts.
There was an overall surplus for the year of £6,887 [2023'.1£10,786}l. There is a negative reserves balance
of £56,51312023 £63,400].
Golng concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concem basis is appropriate and have
considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to
continue as a going concern. The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of al least one year
from the dale of approval of the financial ststements. In particular, the Trustees have considered the
charity's forecasts and projections and have tsken account of pressures on fee income, particularly in light
of the continued implications of the pandemic, cost of living crisis and inflation on user numbers, funding
and earned income. Overhead costs have been reduced where possible lo redLJce additional financial
pressures and to focus on slabilising the organisation to mitigate negative short-term and long-lemi impact.
The financial impact of reduced membership and funding, continues to form one of the key risks as
identified in the Principal Risks section of this report.
After making enquiries the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity
has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. As such, the charity expects lo be
able to meet ils liabilities as they fall due in the period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of
these accounls.
On this basis, the Trustees have concluded that the charity is a going concem. The financial statements do
not inGILJde any adjustments that would result from the charity not being able to meet its liabilities as they fall
due.
Reserves Policy

UNEXPECTED PLACES LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31" JULY 2024
The charily's reserves target remains unchanged at £30,000. The 2024 Accounts show a notable
improvement year-on-year and as such this target is still expected to be achieved by the end of the
academic year 2026 as initially planned.
Total reserves, all of which are unrestricled funds, were (£56,513) [2023: (£63,400)].
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Looking ahead, the charity will continue to refine the business model of each strand while reviewing scope
for cohesion across the brands. Financial sustainability of Unexpected Places remains a key priority for the
charity. This includes potentially revisiting Light UP and Little Lights class structures, consolidating
locations, and reassessing staffing levels as needed-all while preseNing the qLAality and accessibility of
our services across our educational branches. Our continued commitment to enriching Ihe experiences of
our young people and families remains central to thèse plans.
For Light UP'S part, events such as the retum ofAwards Night and other projects and performances allow
our community lo come together, creating a meaningful opportunity that supports personal growth and
connection that can't be quantified. It is something we have worked hard for and will Continue to build on as
we head into our much anticipated 1 Oth anniversary year.
In order to continue our path to self sufficiency and stability, we will endeavor to further reduce our reliance
on short-term funding by either minimising dependence on grants or pursuing longer-lerm investment to
support our core services. The experiences and insights gained over the past year have shaped our
approach, guiding decisions on where to invest and where lo make efficiencies lo maximise impact not just
financially but for those involved too. Although financial challenges remain, mostly due lo prior creditors and
loan obligations we are making significant strides towards greater financial security.
We remain confident thal with a pragmatic and purpose-driven approach, the organisation's resilience will
be strengthened and our mission-oflaking participants and audiences to unexpected places-will continue
to thrive.
