This is the second annual report given on behalf of the trustees of Starlight Youth theatre (charity 1201778).

Trustees:

Christopher Dimelow Hazel Needham Joshua Hill Judy Banks Annabel Banks Neil Brotherhood Rachel Ingham (new addition)

Throughout the year to 31[st] July 2025 Starlight Youth Theatre has continued against its financial and governance objectives as well as maintaining its focus on membership connectivity to ensure success going forward.

Within the timeframe of this report the society has delivered 2 annual concerts and has been extremely privileged to be able to stage Les Misérables (March 2025) all of which have been great successes.

Membership :

The society membership average through the report year was 36

The society continues to run against the same open auditions principle for new members and show principal parts and are thankful to have seen a rise in voluntary chaperones that help with the flexibility of “time given” through general rehearsals as well as during show weeks.

Financial :

The trustees have continued to concentrate on both overall solvency as well establishing technical equipment self-su�iciency. Great strides have been made against both

maintained even though the society accepted higher show overhead costs through the staging of Les Misérables and funded significant equipment purchases aligned to your self-su�iciency goals.

Alongside the society’s well governed income and expenditure model, the society is thankful to have been awarded several grants (funding amounts will appear in the financial statement of the submission) from local business and charitable trusts.

Governance :

Across the report, Starlight Youth Theatre has seen one committee member change due to relocation (Rachel altering role to a Trustee as referenced above) although no new committee appointments at the time of writing.

We held our society AGM which was well attended by the wider membership where all aspects of the society were covered with full visibility and an active Q&A session.

2026 concert to be staged in June.

The trustees look forward to what the future holds for Starlight Youth Theatre and its continued positive impact through providing youth theatre experiences for the young people in and around the Loughborough area.
