Reserves Policy
The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
The Trustees aim to hold a level of unrestricted reserves sufficient to cover the charity’s liabilities in the event of funding shortfalls or operational difficulties. The current target for unrestricted reserves remains at £25,000, comprising £10,000 for immediate liabilities and £15,000 for contingency planning and future growth.
The charity’s total Unrestricted Funds at 31 December 2024 are £40,926. Free Reserves, defined as Unrestricted Funds, minus the value of Designated Funds and Tangible Fixed Assets, are £38,495, thereby proving a modest additional amount of contingency as the charity embarks upon a major national tour of one of its productions.
This policy will be reviewed by the Trustees annually as part of the charity’s budgeting processes.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Vision & Mission
Wrongsemble believes in art for everyone, with accessibility and 'shared experience' at the heart of everything we do.
Formed in 2015, the company was born out of desire to make family theatre for all ages. All of our artists are from/based in the North of England and we are committed to providing artistic employment to those based in our region. We strive to ensure that our artists represent the excitingly diverse communities we serve.
Public Benefit
The Trustees understand and have discussed the implications of the provisions of the Charities Act 2006, which state that all charities must demonstrate that they are established for public benefit and have had due regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The Trustees believe that the charity meets both of the key principles.

WRONGSEMBLE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT
For the year ended 31 December 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (Continued)
Public Benefit (Cont.)
Principle 1 - There must be an identifiable benefit, or benefits
Wrongsemble operates for the public benefit, to promote the performing arts through the creation of live and digital productions, events, and workshops which primarily take place (but not exclusively) in the North of England.
Principle 2 - Benefit must be to the public, or a section of the public
Wrongsemble’s activities are available to the general public/mankind.
Wrongsemble’s beneficiaries are therefore entirely appropriate to its aims and the public as a whole benefits from its work. All of these benefits are clear, evidenced and relate directly to Wrongsemble’s aims. In addition, the Trustees do not consider that any significant detriment or harm flows from Wrongsemble’s work.
Risk Management
The Trustees of the charity regularly review the major governance, operational and financial risks which the charity faces as part of its annual business planning process and confirm that systems have been established to mitigate these risks.
Wrongsemble has a risk management strategy in place which comprises:
-
an annual review of the strategic risks the charity may face via the business plan
-
the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified
-
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise
-
a risk register which is updated four times a year and interrogated and signed off at each subsequent board meeting by the Trustees
The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate financial systems and controls and employment policies and practices are in place.
Key risks facing the charity continue to be financial sustainability and the reliance on key team members. The Trustees have implemented the following measures to mitigate these risks:
-
Prudent budgeting and cost control.
-
Regular management accounts to monitor financial performance.
-
Maintaining a low-cost base while expanding funding sources.
-
Ensuring contingency plans are in place should income targets not be met.
-
• Developing core funding streams to support permanent staff positions.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the period
Despite a challenging economic climate, Wrongsemble has continued to deliver an ambitious and impactful programme, engaging communities regionally and nationally in high-quality arts experiences. In more detail, the charity's activities have benefited the public through:
The Not So Big Bad Wolf (National Tour – Spring/Summer 2024)
Building on the success of its 2023 outdoor tour, The Not So Big Bad Wolf was adapted for flexible indoor/festival touring, reaching new audiences across the UK. The show played at major venues, including Lyric Hammersmith, ARC Stockton, The Dukes (Lancaster), and Ripon Theatre Festival , bringing the production’s message of truth-seeking, debunking stereotypes, and searching out the inner-storyteller in us all to an even wider audience.
Tinsel (Festive Season 2024 – The Montgomery, Arts Centre Washington, Theatre by the Lake) Following a successful 2023 season at Gala Durham and Bishop Auckland Town Hall, Tinsel was restaged at The Montgomery, Arts Centre Washington, and Theatre by the Lake in 2024, delighting young audiences with a heartwarming tale delivered in a gig-theatre style promoting selfbelief, defying gender norms and being whatever you want to be! The production’s expansion into new venues enabled us to reach thousands of young people this festive season across the north of England. We hope its popularity will enable Tinsel to continue its life into the 2025 festive season
Breadcrumbs (Festive Season 2024 – Bishop Auckland Town Hall, Gala Durham)
A new festive offering, Breadcrumbs , was commissioned for Gala Durham and Bishop Auckland Town Hall . This original story reimagined classic fairytales in a contemporary light, encouraging young audiences to explore resilience and courage. The production was well received and will be adapted for national outdoor touring for our summer 2025 season of work.
Three Little Vikings (Research & Development – 2024)
Wrongsemble secured the rights to develop the first-ever stage adaptation of Bethan Woollvin’s Three Little Vikings . In 2024, the company completed an expansive Research & Development phase, laying the groundwork for a full national tour in 2025. This production will champion themes of bravery, problem-solving, and environmental responsibility, aligning with Wrongsemble’s commitment to storytelling with social impact.
Thackray Medical Museum (Christmas Collaboration – 2024)
Wrongsemble partnered with Thackray Medical Museum for a unique Christmas production integrating history, theatre, and festive magic in their festive programme entitled The NHS Night before Christmas . This collaboration enabled the company to reach new audiences in Leeds, enriching cultural engagement in museum settings, and deliver a unique programme of work for families in our home city.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the period (Cont.)
Participatory Programme (2024)
Continuing our commitment to participatory arts, Wrongsemble worked with Leeds Libraries as part of their Healthy Holidays initiative, delivering storytelling workshops and creative activities aimed at children from low-income backgrounds in school holiday periods throughout the year. These sessions provided enriching arts experiences to young people who may otherwise have limited access to theatre and creative learning.
Wrongsemble delivered an engaging series of workshops and performances as part of the British Library’s schools events programme exploring classic literature and the works of William Shakespeare . These interactive sessions introduced young learners to the power of storytelling, literacy, and creativity, reinforcing our mission to inspire young minds through the arts.
Financial Review
The out-turn for the year is an unrestricted surplus of £4,035 (2023: unrestricted surplus of £10,558).
The Trustees consider the financial performance of the charity to be satisfactory.
PLANS FOR FUTURE YEARS
Wrongsemble continues to build on its successes, with an exciting programme planned for 2025:
-
Three Little Vikings will enter full production and embark on a national tour.
-
A new festive partnership to deliver a bespoke Christmas double bill with Red Ladder Theatre Company
-
The brand-new Leeds Storytelling Festival 2025 will see Wrongsemble playing a central role in curating and delivering performances, workshops, and community-led storytelling projects in consortium with Leeds Libraries and LiveWire poetry.
-
Breadcrumbs will be adapted for outdoor/festival touring in Summer 2025.
-
Further expansion of participatory work with Leeds Libraries, British Library, and regional museums to foster access to high-quality arts experiences for young people and families.
Conclusion
2024 has been a year of growth, resilience, and impact for Wrongsemble. With an expanding portfolio of productions, increased national touring, and deepening partnerships, the charity is well-positioned for continued success in 2025 and beyond.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

WRONGSEMBLE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. Accounting Policies (Cont.)
Income
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance related conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, the income is considered probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Donations and legacy income is received by way of donations, legacies, grants and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
-
Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.
-
Income from charitable trading activity is accounted for when earned.
-
Other income is accounted for when receivable.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations, grants and legacies and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
Irrecoverable VAT
All resources expended are classified under activity headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
Operating Leases
The charity classifies the lease of certain types of equipment as operating leases as the title to the equipment remains with the lessor. Rental charges are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
13
WRONGSEMBLE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. Accounting Policies (Continued)
Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on any fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the assets over their remaining useful lives as follows:
IT & Office Equipment
- 33% per annum straight line
A full year’s depreciation charge is applied in the year of acquisition and no charge is made in the year of disposal.
Impairment of Fixed Assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Financial Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
2. Legal Status
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1. The company law members of the charity are the members of its Board of Trustees.
