**29[th] August 2024 to 30[th] June 2025**
## **Public benefit:**
- A total audience of 1,000 (MM24 386 and WofE 614) with an average ticket price of £15.92 – achieving affordable community access to local theatre. We extended our concession rate to those under 16, over 60 and to those in full time education making sure that those who can’t always afford to visit and experience live theatre are able to do so.
- The participation of approximately 30 volunteers in show production, for scenery, costume, sound and lighting, props, stage management, and front of house activities. This provided opportunities to a wide range of people to engage in the arts in their local area and within their borough, who would otherwise not have the occasion to develop within the Hillingdon drama community.
- Pastiche used local and emerging musicians, providing them with the opportunity to play in a pit band.
- The participation of over 20 amateur members in the performance of shows, with instruction in dance, drama and singing. We maintained our policy of inclusivity with open access to individuals to be able to take part in Musical Theatre productions. Membership remains free.
- One work experience placement from local school.
- Each production raised money for a dedicated charity, selected by our membership, through an audience donation given at the end of each performance. We raised money for two other charities:
`o` POTS £898.45.
- St Lukes Hospice £1446
## **Financial review**
**Reserves policy-** To hold £10,000 in reserve to cover the possibility of uninsured losses and unexpected increases in operating costs.
