QTH were able to benefit from the increased Theatre Tax Credit late. This was the ninth year in which the Trust commissioned its wholly-owned trading subsldiary Hornchurch Productions Limit8d to produce all of thè productions led by Queen's Theatie Hornchurch. This ha8 made it possible to claim Theatre Tax Credit. eflectively reducing production costs across all of the Trust's activities. Total income for the year of £4.671,84412024- £4,698.3941 comprised of donations of £41.577 12024- £45,049), grant income of £1.209.26812024- £1,452,025). income from charitable activities of É3,021,71112024- £2,695,094), investment income of £15,62512024- £25,109} and other income of É383,66312024- £481,117).

The result lor the yearwas net income of £125,03512024- net expenditure of £179,207). RESERVES POLICY The Trustees have considered the risks to which the company is subject and have concluded that it Is prudent to maintain an unrestricted reserve fund against those risks which cannot be mitlEÈted through, for example, insurance policies. The new unrestricted reserves policy is based on 8 we8k8 of turnover as adopted by many Arts Council England funded organisations. Based on 2024-25 tuinover this would be valued at.. £711,972.
