## The Nonentities Society 

## Trustees" Annual Report (continued) 

## Year ended 30th June 2021 

## Objectives and activities 

The prime objective of the society is to promote literature and the fine arts in the Wyre Forest area, which we consider we continue to achieve. 

The continuing policy of the Society to perform plays and other productions of a varied nature has been maintained. The Management Committee wishes to encourage new members to join the Society; to support and facilitate our own Kidderminster Rose Young People's Theatre (KRYPT); to promote other amateur groups to perform at the theatre and to hire professional touring companies to perform at the theatre, all of which will continue to uphold the high standards that the theatre has achieved. 

## Achievements and performance 

Regrettably the theatre was forced to remain closed for almost the whole of this year due to the Covidi9 pandemic, but the society was finally able to re-open in June for some small restricted performances. 

We are pleased to report that two local amateur societies and some professional companies have confirmed their intention to continue their association with us as soon as we are able to return to normal levels of attendance by the public. 

We are extremely grateful to the small restricted number of members, who have only been able to complete essential security and maintenance tasks during this difficult year. 

## Financial review 

The results for the year, and the charity's financial position at the end of the year, are shown in the attached financial statements. The Trustees are very aware of the seriously adverse effects on our finances this season caused by the temporary closure of the theatre. We are fortunate that these effects have been partly mitigated by Covid Support Grants and a Crowdfunder Appeal to the general public. We would therefore like to express our sincere thanks to all members of our Society and the public who have contributed to the theatre in this difficult time. 

The trustees’ annual report was approved on 18th October 2021 and signed on behaif of the board of trustees by:
