**SALTERTON DRAMA CLUB Registered Charity Number 209536**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **Governing Document**
The charity is governed by means of a constitution dated 24 May 1972 and revised at the Annual General Meeting on 26 June 2008.
## **Charitable Objectives**
The objective of the charity is to introduce people of all ages to amateur theatre by performing plays and involving them in productions by acting, writing, set building or helping back stage.
## **Trustee Selection Method**
The charity had ten management trustees during the year, one of whom is Chairman. There are four custodian trustees appointed by the management committee who act in legal documentation. Regular meetings of the Management Committee ensure that the charity meets its objectives. Management trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting.
## **Organisational Structure**
Decisions are made by the Management Committee
## **Investment Policy and Reserves Management**
The Management Committee has specific responsibility for ensuring prudence so that appropriate returns are made on cash reserves. The committee monitor the reserves to ensure that adequate net reserves exist to maintain the charitable objectives.
## **Accounts Preparation**
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements and examined by an independent examiner.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The charity produces four plays each year and has an enthusiastic following in the town and immediate locality. In addition, the charity puts on an annual event as part of the local Gala Week (Barn Dances in 2023 & 2024 which were attended by many local youngsters). A recent innovation is a series of one night concerts by local bands or groups in which the ticket money is shared. The charity also continues to perform Murder Mysteries for local groups and businesses. As the existing timber Playhouse is becoming costly to maintain, plans have been drawn up to build a replacement and a feasibility study is in progress.
## **Public Benefit**
The management trustees have considered the duties and responsibilities outlined in the Charities Act 2011, together with guidance provided by the Charities Commission. As management trustees of Salterton Drama Club, we believe that on the evidence of the activities detailed within the charitable objectives and achievements and performance, the charity is providing a significant public benefit within the locality.
