Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 October 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
To advance in life and help people, particularly those who are socially or economically disadvantaged through:
(a) the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life; and
(b) providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as responsible individuals.
(c) To advance the education of the public in all aspects of the arts and the development of public appreciation of such art through public sharing and dissemination.
Charitable Activities
In deciding what activities to undertake, the trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by the Charities Commission regarding public benefit. Thus, Shooting Fish exists to support people who are disadvantaged; using theatre for social benefit; as an educational tool, to build community cohesion, for the development of life skills and for enjoyment and well-being. We strive to enable empowerment by supporting people to tell relevant stories and have their voices heard.
Achievements and performance
This period saw Shooting Fish deliver a wide programme of work for the benefit of the public. All of the projects listed below worked collectively to allow Shooting Fish to fulfil its Charitable Objects in this period, each project :
Empowering Voices Project
Working collaboratively with the Diocese of Lincoln, Shooting Fish have now produced 8 podcasts over the past 4 years which support children and young people to learn about a variety of worldviews and religions. The podcasts are for educational use within the RE curriculum. One podcast was produced during this period ‘’Exploring a Buddhist World View’. The podcast was produced in collaboration with The Lincoln Diocesan Board of Education, Cardiff Buddhist Centre and students from St Paul's Church in Wales Primary School. Young people learned about Buddhist practice and beliefs and were supported by a a professional writer to create a drama for the podcast. Young people who participated developed literacy and technical skills.

Gainsborough Literacy Project
This was our 11th year of delivering the literacy project, the work was supported by Children in Need, KFC Foundation and West Lindsey District Council. Working in Gainsborough which is a highly deprived area (within the bottom 5% on the Indices of Deprivation).
This year we worked with 3 different groups in Gainsborough to produce new performances for Trinity Arts Centre in May. The young people we worked with faced a range of difficulties within their lives; additional learning needs, mental health issues, turbulent home lives, young carers and young people at risk of or with experience of the criminal justice system. Three new works were co-created with young people aged 11 to 18 including Feast of Fools, The Spy Network and The Portal which was later turned into a short film. Professional artists co-created with young people. The project supported personal development; building literacy, life skills, creative skills, technical skills and confidence.
Participation sessions; 50 Participants ; 63 Audience; 177 Related Objective/Activity; a, b & c
Knowle West Literacy Project
Shooting Fish worked with young people in collaboration with KnowleDGE School in Knowle West, Bristol; a specialist school for SEND young people and those with behavioural and emotional needs. Young people worked with a professional artists to co-create two new plays Fantastic Bites and Jack Payne and the Abnormality. The plays were shown at Tobacco Factory Theatres in Bristol. The project aimed to provide young people with literacy, life skills and develop confidence. Young people took part in drama, writing, design, sound and lighting workshops as well as casting actors in their play.

Foundational Oracy
Shooting Fish received a 3 year grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to support the development of oracy of children in reception, year 1 and year 2. Drama facilitators worked with children at Ashley Down, Cabot and Cotham Garden Primary schools. Children created and recorded new audio plays, which were shared with parents and carers. The project increased engagement in language, supported greater fluency and independence in oracy, increased skill and development in vocabulary, increased skill and confidence in writing, increased soft skills and developed a range of new digital skills.

Total Participation Figures for this period
Total Participant Sessions; 150 Total Participants; 433 Total Audience; 3487
The final audience figure reflects the number of users accessing the Empowering Voices podcasts for the period, in reality the number of audience members accessing the work is likely to be much higher, when taking into account schools downloading the podcasts for use within a classroom setting.
Overview
It is the trustees view that the requirement to demonstrate public benefit is met by its charitable objectives and by the means of delivery and provision of opportunity for engagement and participation. Specific examples of relevant modes of operation include the wide range of artwork created and the levels of engagement in participation projects at a time of great uncertainty and crisis for communities. Each project has undertaken individual review and evaluation processes; these have demonstrated clear and wide ranging benefits for participants. All of our opportunities have been free at the point of access ensuring barriers for participation are limited, especially for those who are economically
Participants have been recruited specifically from socially and economically disadvantaged areas and partner organisations are those who consistently work with people who suffer significant barriers in accessing arts and culture.

Financial review
Reserves Policy
The charity had a positive free reserve of £41,436, the equivalent of eight months overheads at the end of the period. The free reserves are calculated by taking the unrestricted reserves balance at the end of the year, less any fixed asset funds.
Going Concern
Thanks to a three year grant from Children in Need secured until March 2027, a three year grant secured from Paul Hamlyn Foundation until Jan 2028 and ongoing core funding each year from DJS Arts we remain a going concern with £67,500 of grant funding secured annually until 2027. This investment is furthered through a range of new partnerships being fostered across Bristol and the Southwest which has diversified and grown our fundraising capacity.
Overview
Shooting Fish closes this accounting period with a surplus of £72,810 (2024: surplus of £28,157). At the time of writing this report Shooting Fish Theatre Company remains a going concern through careful financial management and further development of the company's income.

Structure, governance and management
Recruitment and Appointment of new Trustees
The Directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and throughout this report are collectively known as the trustees. The existing board of trustees were individually appointed on the strength of their respective background, enthusiasm and commitment to support Shooting Fish on an ongoing basis. As set out in the Articles of Association, the board may from time to time and at any time appoint a new trustee to join. The decision to elect new trustees to the board is based upon the availability of suitable candidates with a requisite skills base together with an acknowledgement by the board that additional support would be beneficial in order to assist in the company's development.
Organisational Structure
The Board of Trustees administers the charity. The contracted Artistic Director & CEO is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company. To facilitate effective operation, the Artistic Director & CEO has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and artistic performance related activity to contractors and sub contractors.
Induction and Training of new Trustees
New trustees are provided with:
-
information on their legal obligations under charity law,
-
the Memorandum and Articles of Association,
-
the committee and decision-making process,
-
the business plan and recent financial performance of the company.
During this induction they meet key contractors and other trustees. Trustees are also encouraged to attend projects and view work delivered by Shooting Fish Theatre Company contractors.
Establishment and History of Shooting Fish Theatre Company
Shooting Fish exists to enable new writing for and with communities, using theatre to nurture and develop, striving to make a difference in people’s lives, especially for those who face social and economic disadvantage. Established in 2005 we are extremely experienced within our sector with well established partnerships across Lincolnshire and the Southwest.
We are passionate about new writing, enabling people to tell their stories and have their experiences and opinions recognised in the work we produce. We deliver a range of projects across each period supporting people to gain new skills and build confidence through participatory arts activity. Reflection is a key part of our work, we use evaluation processes to evolve and improve the work we deliver. Feedback from participants, audiences and partner organisations in this period;
“This is exactly what should be happening more and more. Opportunities to tell stories and be creative like this should be for everyone.”
“It has been important for staff at school to see just how much our students are capable of, the Shooting Fish team had high expectations throughout, no limits were placed on students. Their needs were catered for but everything was at a professional standard throughout. The Shooting Fish team always strived for excellence”
“Casting was the best bit, we were given power - it was a bit like being God” “I think it has made me look from different perspectives working with different people and understanding all the different areas of how to create a play and the different team members and has helped my social skills and anxiety”
“My communication has improved, it is easier talking to new people and doing new things”

Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 October 2025
Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those 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 accounting standards and statements of recommended practice 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 operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to the independent examination of which the independent examiners are unaware. The trustees also confirm that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure that they themselves are aware of all relevant independent examination information and that this information has been communicated to the independent examiners.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated assets are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. In line with the SORP FRS102, the value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
f) Funds accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
