Romiley Little Theatre Annual Report 20/21
As with all other organisations, Romiley Little Theatre was significantly impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic, bringing about the cancellation of planned productions and events and part from inspections on the building, required by our insurers, to ensure it remained in good condition ready for reopening.
As government advice/legislation was given, small working parties came back into the building to carry out refurbishment and renovations which had already been planned but not carried out.
Relaxation of legislation allowed us to stage an outdoor concert in September 2020. The object of this exercise was to find some way of keeping the theatre running which would allow members and friends to keep in contact. Without such contact, there is a danger some may never return once things move back to normal.
We were fortunate to be included The Government’s Covid grant schemes which helped enormously and will allow us to spring back into the community with our plays and social events.
With this in mind, planning is well underway to set up the revival of the plays we have had to postpone and to plan further ahead with others. All of this, of course, now takes into account the vagaries of the pandemic and any future potential government legislation by being adaptable and nimble and being prepared to adjust our calendar to suit the circumstances.
The Trustees are confident that we can emerge from this to continue to serve our community with a wide variety of shows both produced in house and from visiting touring companies.
Peter Wright, for and on behalf of the trustees.

ROMILEY LITTLE THEATRE INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROMILEY LITTLE THEATRE
We report on the accounts of the organisation for the year ended 30[th] April 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 6.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examiner is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
-
to follow the procedure laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissions (under section 145 (5) (b) of the Charities Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
Our examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention
-
(1) Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements:
-
to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act.
-
(2) To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
