Structure, governance and management
A team of individuals manage the Charity, none of which are employed by the Charity. Meetings are held throughout the year with an AGM once a year. On such occasions when new trustees are required, they will be recruited from the local community.
Objectives and activities
The Objectives of the Charity are:
For the public benefit, the advancement of education in the arts, particularly the dramatic and theatrical arts, to further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts in the District of the Cotswolds. With particular focus on.
-
1) Holding open auditions for members of the local community to have an opportunity to perform in our annual show.
-
2) Educating cast members in amateur dramatics by training in dance, vocal performances, script reading and stage directions.
-
3) Offering the general public the opportunity to watch the shows, tickets are offered at an affordable price compared to national theatre performances and attract other community groups to attend and support.
Achievements and Performance
The activities and services that are offered throughout the year are of public benefit, primarily to those in the District of the Cotswolds, in providing learning opportunities, volunteering opportunities, social interactions and open performances.
Trustees will keep in mind the guidance provided for them by the Charities Commission when assessing and developing activities and reviewing practices during meetings. The focus throughout the year remains the same; in providing the local community with the opportunity to audition to take part and be a cast member in a pantomime performance, developing theatre skills and social interactions and giving the general public an affordable theatre option.
The charity prides itself on being inclusive, welcoming and supportive of all regardless of background, race, religion, gender, disability or personal circumstances. This year we opened our dress rehearsals to invite different groups within the community that might not be able to attend one of our paid-for performances due to additional needs.
The Charity has begun to develop links with businesses in the area and receive support from some local businesses by way of providing equipment and services during our shows.
We are also working on supporting local groups where able, this year we supported a local primary school with the loan of costumes and props for a school production they were performing.
The Charity welcomes new volunteers to support our efforts.
Financial review
The team of volunteers have worked incredibly hard to achieve the results during this financial period. We made a good profit meaning that we can continue with our objectives and make enhancements to future performances.
Plans for future periods
We have a large group of volunteers and are looking to open opportunities to as many members as possible. For the next financial year, we have plans to invest in more equipment and investigate any funding opportunities open to us.
The trustees’ annual report was approved on 9 December 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by Katie Jones (Trustee).
