THE THEATRICAL GUILD (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Executive Committee (who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their report and the financial statements for The Theatrical Guild (the Company) for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 (FRS102) (published in October 2019).
OUR PURPOSES AND ACTIVITIES
The Theatrical (Ladies) Guild was established in 1891 by the actress C.L (Kittie) Carson to 'give relief or assistance to members of the theatrical profession in financial distress'. The purpose of The Theatrical Guild for the public benefit is to be available to help anybody in need, who is or has worked backstage or front of house in professional theatre.
The Charity’s principal activity continues to be to seek funds in order to provide financial support for the beneficiaries of the Charity.
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Executive Committee have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public Benefit: Running A Charity (PB2)’.
The Executive Committee traditionally meet in person on a monthly basis (with the exception of August) and grants to individuals are determined in these meetings, but during the Covid-19 pandemic, meetings have been held on Zoom and decisions on grant making have been made both via email and during meetings (due to the significant increase in demand for support). The main criterion for assessment is that of financial and emotional need. When making decisions on applications, each case is judged on its own merits, but relevant experience in the profession is required. The Theatrical Guild aims to help to solve the immediate problem and empower individuals to find longer term solutions. Grants are given on a regular basis including emergency support and ‘one off’ requests.
Grants to charitable institutions, such as care homes, are increasingly rare, but are also determined by the Executive Committee. The assessment criteria being the support these institutions provide for The Theatrical Guild’s beneficiaries and the financial requirement of those institutions to continue to provide and/or improve that support.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (INCLUDING FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY)
The Investment Policy as set down by the Executive Committee is to generate a high level of income to enable The Theatrical Guild to continue to support its beneficiaries and to protect and grow the capital over the long term.
As at 31 December 2020 the Theatrical Guild investment portfolio was valued at £2,641,276 (including accrued income and cash on deposit), having appreciated +8.5% in total return terms over the past six months, outperforming the +6.4% return in the 70% equities / 30% gilts comparator. The FTSE AllShare Index returned +9.3% and the FTSE UK Gilt Index -0.6%.
Over the year to 31 December 2020 the portfolio generated a total return of +2.8%, again outperforming the 70% equities/30% gilts comparator return of -4.4%. The FTSE All-Share Index returned -9.8% and the FTSE UK Gilt Index +8.3%.
Over the 7 ½ years to the 31[st] December 2020, the portfolio generated a total return of +79.2%, whilst the 7 year annualised return stood at +7.2% per annum. Both returns were ahead of the comparator.

THE THEATRICAL GUILD (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE’S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
2020 was a particularly challenging year, with markets selling off sharply due to the rapid global spread of Covid-19 and subsequent lockdowns. Markets reached a low on the 23[rd] March 2020, but recovered swiftly afterwards due to unprecedented central bank and government support measures around the world. Markets took a further leg-up in November 2020 when three vaccines gained regulatory approval, and vaccinations began at the end of the year.
Looking forward, we expect economies to recover strongly once large proportions of the populations have been vaccinated, and as such there are concerns that inflation might take off. In addition, there are also growing uncertainties over mutations of the Covid-19 virus, and whether vaccines will be less effective against them. We continue to believe we can make further progress from here although in this environment, market volatility is likely.
The Executive Committee actively encourage donations through fundraising and legacies, all of which offer a valuable source of financial help and an effective way of ensuring the continuation of the Charity’s work. Financial bequests, royalties or theatrical memorabilia are welcomed as ways of helping the Theatrical Guild raise additional funding for the benefit of our beneficiaries.
The Theatrical Guild’s level of support of beneficiaries in 2020 shows an increase of 939 cases compared to 2019. These included quarterly support payments, short term grants, one-off grants, access to counselling, educational bursaries, welfare and wellbeing advice and signposting. The majority of support was for emergency need (rent / mortgage payments, food, medical costs, etc.) due to the sudden loss of income and lack of Government support experienced by many theatre workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Examples of some of the support given are:
-
A Stage Manager from Newcastle was given an emergency grant to help her find alternative accommodation after she lost all income due to the theatres closing and was not able to cover the rent on her flat.
-
A Sound Designer in Edinburgh was given an emergency grant to cover the costs of essential items such as food and bills for him and his young family after his theatre was closed and he fell through the cracks of Government support.
-
A Front of House Assistant in London was given counselling support after both his parents died of Covid-19 in successive months.
As shown in note 7, the cost of grants (including support costs) shows a significant increase from last year. In 2020, grants amounted to £450,028 (2019: £125,329).
The Theatrical Guild is extremely grateful to the Arts Council for their support throughout 2020, especially in light of the Guild’s traditional fundraising activities being limited by Government restrictions applied in response to Covid-19.
The Theatrical Guild had just over £2.670 million of unrestricted reserves at 31 December 2020 (2019: £2.456 million). The funds are invested to provide the income for The Theatrical Guild to meet the future needs of their beneficiaries, the cost of which the Executive Committee expects to continue to rise. The policy is therefore to maintain sufficient reserves to ensure that this level of need can be funded.
Having reviewed the financial position, the Executive Committee have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. This conclusion takes into consideration the financial effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.
