## **THE DODS**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## _**FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_
The Trustees presents their report and accounts for the period ended 30 June 2022.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charity's governing document and the Charities Act 2011.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Charity was established on 20 August 2021 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, following the Association Model Constitution.
The members of the Trustees who served during the period were: Frances Telford Andrew Telford Calum Sharp Craig Hewlett Jonathan Smallridge Catherine Sluman Michael Graham Melanie Cole David Hill
One third of the Trustees are elected by members at the AGM.
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. The principal risks facing the charity are the loss of performance space in the event of venue closure. The current financial climate may make it difficult for audiences to attend events.
## **Objectives and activities**
The object of the CIO is to educate the public in the dramatic, operatic and performing arts and to further the public appreciation and taste in such arts through the performance of plays, operas, musicals and pantomimes and such other dramatic works or public performance as the trustees think fit from time to time.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance.
After a period of no activity due to COVID, we have put on a Concert in October 2021, a Pantomime in January 2022 & a Musical in May 2022.
## **Achievements and performance**
Prior to becoming a CIO, the DODS had been in an extended period of inactivity due to COVID and the concomitant restrictions on social gathering. Becoming a CIO coincided with the reduction in those restrictions and allowed theatrical performances to restart. A concert allowed performing members to get together again and present themselves to a socially distanced audience. This was followed by a pantomime and a musical which were well received by the public and gave an opportunity to see productions locally again. In addition our Youth Group has been preparing for a production of the musical, Matilda Jr. This, together with the pantomime, has given the opportunity for young people to work together again. Fundraising for a new backstage workshop was started.
There has been some success with fundraising through local businesses but grant support has, to date, been disappointing.

## **THE DODS**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_
## **Financial review**
The charity has ended the year with a surplus of £27,521, however this includes fund raising grants, donations and investment income amounting to £24,417. The operating surplus was therefore £3,104.
Reserves are held to cover the cost of a production in the event of cancellation. Our aim is to hold reserves of £9,000.
Assets totalling £17,913 held by Dursley Operatic and Dramatic Society were transferred to the DODS at the charity’s inception. This comprised liquid assets and capital items whose value had been written off. Revenue income comes from membership fees, income from productions and fundraising appeals to our audience. We are developing grant applications.
On behalf of the board of Trustees

## **THE DODS**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE DODS**
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 30 June 2022, which are set out on pages 4 to 8.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner**
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
## It is my responsibility to:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- (iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act;
have not been met; or
- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
