THE THEATRICAL GUILD (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Board of Trustees (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 2022 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 has worked in a Backstage or Front of House professional theatre role for a period of more than 3 years.

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 Board of Trustees traditionally meet in person on a monthly basis (with the exception of August) and grants to individuals are determined in these meetings. In special circumstances decisions on grant making may be made both via email and during meetings. 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 Board of Trustees. 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 & Reserves Policy)

The Investment Policy, as set down by the Board of Trustees, 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.

At the 31st December 2022 The Theatrical Guild investment portfolio was valued at £2,508,883, having depreciated -16.9% in total return terms over the year. The investment portfolio experienced volatility across all asset classes, with the fixed income element particularly impacted by the rapid increase in inflationary pressures as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the failed UK mini-budget at the end of September. This weakness follows three years of solid positive returns, while the portfolio has now generated a total return of +68.6% over the past 9 ½ years, and with a 9 year annualised rate of +4.9% per annum (net of fees), both of which are ahead of the benchmark.

The Board of Trustees 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 (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE’S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Theatrical Guild’s level of support of beneficiaries in 2022 totalled 408. These included long term grants, short term grants, one-off grants, access to counselling, mid-career training bursaries, welfare advice and signposting. The majority of support was for emergency need (rent, bills, household goods, medical costs, counselling,) due to issues surrounding work stability following the Covid Pandemic and the ongoing Cost of Living Crisis.

Examples of Beneficiary Grants are;

As shown in note 7, the cost of grants (including support costs) were lower than 2021 due to the start of the re-opening of theatres. In 2022, grants amounted to £51,968 (2021: £220,073).

The Theatrical Guild had £2,506,556 of unrestricted reserves to 31 December 2022. (2021 : £3,042,339). 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 Board of Trustees 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 Board of Trustees 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.

The President and Chairman who are elected by the Board of Trustees are Ex Officio. The Board of Trustees, who are 11 in number, constitute the Directors of The Theatrical Guild and are elected annually at the Annual General Meeting. A casual vacancy may be filled by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees are selected for their specific knowledge to keep a balance of skills within the Board. All Trustees have opportunities throughout the year to attend training courses provided by advisers.

Organisation

The Charity is organised by a Board of Trustees in accordance with its Governing document. The Board of Trustees meet on a monthly basis (with the exception of August), with responsibility for the day-to-day management of the charity delegated to the General Manager, Amanda Parker (Appointed 1[st] February 2022).

The arrangements for setting pay and remuneration is handled by two members of the Board, one of whom is an experienced HR professional. This includes a minuted Annual Review which is approved by all parties in attendance. Remuneration is based on ONS for RPI and CPI inflation rates and achievement during the previous 12 months.

Risk Management

The Directors, who constitute the Board of Trustees, are responsible for identifying, assessing and managing risk in the Charity. The Board of Trustees consider risk in all appropriate decisions made in Trustees Meetings and review annually the risks the Charity may face. The Theatrical Guild generally receives the majority of its income from investments and safeguards this interest by working with a reputable stockbroker from an established firm, whose performance is managed by TTG’s Trustees.

Other Collaborations

The Theatrical Guild is a member of Acting for Others and regularly works in partnership with the other charities in the group. The charity also benefits from the combined knowledge and expertise of other theatrical charities, particularly those who work together to jointly support a Beneficiary.

TTG also supports and promotes the umbrella organisation with their fundraising events and special promotions. The Charity is especially grateful to The Royal Theatrical Fund, The Fleabag Fund, Equity Charitable Trust, The Actors Benevolent Fund, The Ivor Novello Charities, Association of British Theatre Technicians, Theatre Design, The Society of Theatre Designers, and the Stage Management Association.

THE THEATRICAL GUILD (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. LEGAL STATUS OF CHARITABLE COMPANY

The Theatrical Guild is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The charitable company’s registered number and registered office address can be found in the Executive Committee’s report.

In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS 102) (issued in October 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

The Theatrical Guild meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). There are no material uncertainties about The Theatrical Guild’s ability to continue as a going concern.

b) Income

Legacy income is accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is entitled to the income, receipt is probable and when the amount can be quantified with sufficient accuracy.

Donations and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as income when receivable, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement. Subscriptions are included in the financial statements at the time they are receivable.

Other trading activities represent income from organised events and are recognised when receivable.

Investment income and other income is accounted for when receivable.

c) Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis with any irrecoverable element of VAT included within the item of expense to which it relates.

Expenditure on raising funds includes costs incurred by the Charity in fundraising, publicity and stockbroker fees.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is approved by trustees and conveyed to the recipient.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity. These are shown within support costs.

All costs are allocated between expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned based on estimated usage as a proportion of directly attributable expenditure.

10

THE THEATRICAL GUILD (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

d) Fixed Assets

An asset is defined as a unit of tangible property which has an economic useful life of more than 12 months and was acquired or produced for a cost of more than £500 including acquisition and installation costs on the same invoice.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets in use at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Office equipment - over 5 years.

e) Investments

Investments are included at fair value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

f) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

g) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. The Executive Committee seek to use short term deposits where possible to maximise the return on monies held at the bank and to manage cash flow.

h) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

i) Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost.

j) Funds

Funds held by the Charity are unrestricted funds. These are funds received for use in line with the general objects of the Charity.

k) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

l) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised.

The trustees do not consider that there are any critical estimates or areas of judgement that need to be brought to the attention of the readers of the financial statements.
