**Scaplen’s Community Players Trustees Report Year ending 31st December, 2024 Charity Registration Number: 1207729 Address: C/O 27, Blake Hill crescent, Poole, Dorset, BH14 8QW**

## **Structure and management.** 

**The Scaplen’s Community Players are a local group who’s aim is promote historical theatre in the local community, through storytelling, drama and music. Our main goal is bring together local people from diverse communities to better understand our history and shared culture. The group is made up entirely of volunteers and are organised by a committee and other coopted individuals.** 

## **Activities and objectives in the year** 

**Our objectives in 2024 were;** 

- **to present a minimum of one production each year, such production to be factually** 

- **based,** 

- **include songs, monologues and a play based upon real and actual local events & people** 

- **provide  educational  workshops,  demonstrations,  lectures  and  social  activities  for** 

- **members** 

## **Achievements** 

**Our main production;  ‘Unbroken Bonds’,  was a World War 2 based production, consisting of a series of monologues, songs of the time and a play set in around Poole in the days up to and approaching The D-Day Landings. Our performances were a great success as evidenced by  two excellent reviews from Scene One Plus and Dorset Theatre Reviews. Also, our audience feedback surveys, many people commented that they would like to see more of what we do.** 

**As  well  as  this production, we  also  performed ‘The  Hiring  Fayre’ a  Street  Theatre performance and four historical stories at two large outdoor events in Poole, The Beating of the Sea Bounds last July 2024 and The Seafood and Sounds Festival in September 2024, a two-day event that we have been invited to participate in again.** 

**We held a run of successful workshops including a Dance workshop, a stage fight and drill workshop, a talk  on  'The  Art  of Directing'  and  a  guest  speaker  talking  about 'Characterisation and Performance Skills'.** 

## **Financial Review** 

**It has been a successful year financially.  Total income for the year amounted to  £2791 whilst our  expenditure was £1296 leaving us with a positive  balance of £1495.  Of this surplus, some £400 is ‘earmarked’ for our 2025 production.** 

**Donations and membership fees, including the aforementioned £400,  amounted to £1720 with which we were extremely delighted. The committee has endeavoured to keep ALL costs, both production and non production, to  a minimum and our positive financial  balance is evidence that this has been achieved. We are in a good position for our 2025’s production, ‘Echoes of Love’, which will be a sequel to this year’s production focussing on events & people in around Poole in the days up to and approaching V. E. Day** 



## **Summary** 

**We believe that we have successful in our aim to bring together local people from diverse communities and provide an opportunity for them to participate in our performances and activities and this is demonstrated by our successful productions and our membership in our very first year.**
