## **For the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Co Chairs’ Statement**
This is our third report as co-chairs of Trustees at Stand and Be Counted Theatre Ltd. We are delighted to reflect on another year of growth, resilience, and impact for the organisation.
## **Purpose and Public Benefit**
The charity exists to advance the arts and promote social inclusion, with a focus on people seeking sanctuary in the UK. The trustees confirm that we have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in planning and delivering our activities. Our programmes provide not only high-quality artistic opportunities, but also pathways to connection, confidence, and belonging.
## **Activities and Impact**
Stand and Be Counted Theatre continues to design and deliver programmes with and for people seeking sanctuary. This year, our staff and freelance teams worked with hundreds of participants to create work that was both urgent and joyful. Participants reported increased confidence, stronger community connections, and greater access to cultural and employment opportunities.
Evaluation is integral to our approach. Impact is measured through attendance figures, regularity of engagement, participant feedback, and creative responses. Participants are supported to lead peer-to-peer feedback sessions, ensuring their voices shape programme design and delivery. Findings are reported quarterly to trustees, directly informing our strategic direction.
## **Governance and Oversight**
The trustees meet quarterly to review programme performance, financial management, risk, and safeguarding. We work closely with the joint CEOs to ensure that the organisation remains accountable, transparent, and aligned with its charitable objectives. In particular, trustees have oversight of:
- **Risk management** : monitoring financial pressures in the sector and adapting fundraising strategies.
- **Safeguarding** : reviewing policies and ensuring training is in place for staff and freelancers working with vulnerable people.
- **Reserves policy** : maintaining a balance between long-term sustainability and investment in programme delivery.
## **Financial Position**
The organisation remains in a healthy financial position, thanks to determined fundraising in a challenging climate. The Board continues to monitor income diversity and sustainability, recognising the wider pressures on arts funding. We are committed to prudent financial management while enabling the growth of artistic and community programmes.

## **Co Chairs’ Statement (continued)**
## **People and Partnerships**
Our core team of three staff, supported by a network of freelance artists, have worked tirelessly to deliver high-quality, inclusive, and innovative programmes. We are proud to have supported employment for tens of freelancers this year. Trustees are also attentive to staff and participant wellbeing, encouraging the executive team to build capacity and resilience across the organisation.
## **Looking Ahead**
The coming year will bring continued challenges in arts funding, but also opportunities to strengthen our partnerships, deepen our impact, and expand our reach. We will remain focused on ensuring that people seeking sanctuary are empowered to shape and lead creative work, and that our programmes continue to foster intercultural dialogue, community cohesion, and pride in place.
As trustees, we are immensely proud of the achievements of Stand and Be Counted Theatre this year. We are confident that the organisation is well positioned to continue delivering meaningful, high-quality, and sustainable public benefit in the years ahead.

## **Summary of main achievements during the period**
Our programmes and productions have continued to go from strength to strength.
## Youth Theatre of Sanctuary
Our Youth Theatre of Sanctuary, the first of its kind in the UK - regularly has over 40 participants per week. Bringing together families from Sudan, Iran, Kurdistan, Ukraine and Syria. This long term creative empowerment programme develops creative skills and confidence in children aged 3-15. In the last year we have delivered 42 weekly workshops, attended several trips to local cultural institutions and co-created a series of pop-up books, a live dance and poetry performance and 2 long term exhibitions.
## Soap Box Collective
Our long term creative empowerment programmes for adults connect communities from Iran, Syria, Sudan, Rohingya, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Namibia, Kurdistan, Jamaica, Democratic Republic of Congo, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Iraq now living across Bradford, Oldham and Sheffield. Weekly sessions have led to the co-creation of an alternative fashion show, 3 exhibitions, an immersive audio and augmented reality experience, 2 photography series, a football kit launch and 3 celebration events.
Participants have continued to deliver training sessions for academics and artists interested in working with people seeking sanctuary and have developed a Welcome Toolkit - an industry guide for working in this field. Participants have designed football shirts to mark the 15th year of our organisation and have partnered with established artists across our two major productions in development to gain crucial industry experience and credits as directors, writers, producers, lighting and video designers.
Throughout the year we support participants and artists to develop projects and productions beyond our programme through mentoring, script development, research and development, theatre trips and audition training.

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- Make judgements 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; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.
