TRUSTEES. REPORT
Message from the Chair and
Chief Executive
Shakespeare's Globe exists to bring people t￿ether Ihrough stories Ihal speak across time,
place and experience. At its heart. it is a living experiment.. where scholarship informs practice,
where performance invrtes debate. and where Shakespeare cnntinues to help us understand
ourselves and the wodd we inhabit.
The year under review was one of movement and consolidation. It asked us lo balance
creative ambition wilh operational realism". to sustsin public Irusl while adapting lo a changing
cultural, economic and environmental landscape,. and lo slrenglhen the foundations that will
carry the organisation into its next phase.
As an independent charity and enterprise, operating wrthoul regular Arts Council subsidy, the
Globe continues lo generate its own momentum. Every surplus we make is reinvesled directly
into our charitable mission, advancing education, widening access, and suslaining the arts for
public benefit.
We are proud of what has been achieved.
Across our I￿0 theatres, education spaces. libraries, digrtal plafforms and international
partnerships, the Gknbe reached over 700,000 visltors this year. More than 600 performances
and events across 363 days welcomed audiences to Bankside, alongside learning
programmes, tours, talks and community activity. Our £5 groundling ticket remains one of
London's most p¢)werful dem¢xralic invitations to culture. ensuring access sits at the heart of
our work, not rts margins.
Education and learning continued lo lead our chartiable impact. From school workshops and
teacher professional development to higher education courses, public lectures and research
activity, our programmes SUPFW)rted learners at every stage, localty, nationally and
internationally. Digital plafforms, including Globe Player and screen distribution partnerships,
extended our reach far beyond our site. bringing Shakespeare into homes, classrooms and
cinemas across the UK and around the wodd.
Alongside this public-facing work, significant prc*3ress was made inside the organisation. This
was a year in which the Globe deliberatety strengthened rts executive function, governance
alignment and strategic clarity- We completed the final phase of our Stabilisalion Strategic
Plan and began shaping the next fiv&year cycle. ro)ted in sustainabilty, inclusion. access

and long-tem resilience. Truslees, Council members and Ihe Directorate WOTked closely
together lo Surfa￿ structural challenges, address legacy issues. and agree clearer pro￿sseS
for decision-making, resource allocation and accountability-
This period also brought moments of challenge. Infiationary pressures continued lo affect our
cost base,. the wider cultural sector remained fragile.. and the complexty of operating a historic,
open-air Site brought ongoing risk and responsibilty. Intemalty. the year included leadership
transitions and a three month period of CEO absence due lo long awaited surgery, during
which the executive team stepped forward colleclNely to ensure continuity. care and Stability.
We are deeply grateful for the professionalism. generosity and shared leadership shown
during this time.
Capital planning remained a key focajs. Progress on the Research & Collections project,
including the renovation of our lecture hall. foyer. studio spaces and the creation of a reading
room and rare book r(MNn, marks an important milestone in securing the Globe's flrture as a
centre for scholarship and public a¢￿SS. Al the same time, extenswe work was undertaken
to assess long-term eslale needs. dimate impact. business interruption risk and funding
strategy. These are complex decisions with implications beyond a single year. and we enter
the next financial peri(MJ clear-eyed about both the opportunities and the responsibilities they
carry.
What has remained constant throughout is the commitment of our people. Staff, freelancers
and volunteers navigated change wrth creatNty. Tesilience and care. sustaining a year-round
operation that welcomes audiences from across London. the UK and 147 countries worldwide.
Volunteers once again gave tens of thousands of hours to welcoming visitors, supporting
access and animating the site.
Internationally, partnerships Continued to flourish through Shakespeare's Globe Centre USA
and Shakespeare's Globe Centre New Zeaiand, reinforcing Ihe Globe's role as a global
cultural institution rooted in local impact.
As we look ahead to the next financial year, we ijo so with confidence tempered by realism.
We carry foThvard some challenges, cost pressures, capital demands, and the need to continue
strengthening syslems and processes, bul we do so from a posilion of greater clarity, stronger
collaboration and renewed strategic focus.
The Globe enters rts next chapter as an organisalion that is artislicalty ambilious, socially
purposeful and increasingty disciplined in how r( plans, decides and delivers. We remain
committed to our charitable aims.. advancing education. widening a￿$$, nurturing talent, and
ensuring Shakespeare continues to speak to and for diverse communities.

FINANCLAL REVIEW
Overall, the income profile for the year refiects a resilient and drversrfied funding model,
combining earned income, fundraising. restrided project funding and piudenl treasury
management.
EXPENDITURE
Total expenditure for the year was £27,711 k12024= £27.719k). Desprte ongoing inflationary
pressures across the sector, overall expenditure remained broadly cnnsistent with the prior
year, reflecting careful cosl control while maintaining delivery across all areas of activity.

continue delivering its charitable objectives within a controlled cost base.
BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The Group T￿orded a surplus for the year of £3,770k 12024.. £1.112k), resulting in an

FINANCLAL REVIEW
While the year end balance sheel reflects a strong and stsble position, this should be viewed
alongside Ihe demands associated with the capital project, which is now moving into its
delivery phase. The project will place increased pressure on cashflow and reserves over the
coming period, requiring continued discipline in planning, phasing and cash management.
Maintaining sufficient headroom against our free rese￿e$ policy, wuencing designated
funds lo match capital oufflows, and aligning operaling surpluses and fundraising to longer
term commrtments will be essential to sustaining organisational resilience as we progress
through delivery. This ensures we protect our day to day operating capacity while meeting the
strategic investment needs of the estate.
FUNDS AND RESERVES
The net assets position at 31 October 2025 primarity comprises the fixed asset reserve and
restricted income funds, reflecting long-tem investment in the Globe's estate and the delivery
of donor-funded activity.
Unrestricted funds available for general use (free reserves) lolalled £6,103k at 31 octo1￿r
2025 12024.. £5,579kl. In addition. the Trustees held £8.500k in designated funds 12024..
£6,OOOkl, representing unrestricted funds set aside for specific future purposes. During the
year, Trustees increased designations by £2,500k representing a further strengthening of the
Capital Investment Fund, which increased lo £8,500k12024'. £6.OOOkl lo support longer-term
capital infrastructure commitments.
The Globe adopts a risk-based approach lo setting its reserves policy, taking into account
working capital requirements. budgets, cash-flow forecasts. longer-term financial plans and
the timing of major income and expenditure flows.
The Trustees, policy is to maintain free reserves equivalent to at least three months of normal
expenditure, which at 31 October 2025 equated to circa £7,OOOk, based on the approved
2025126 budget. At the year end, free general reserves of£6,103k were bebw this benchmark.
In reaching their assessment. the Trustees considered forecast cash flows, planned activity
levels, the level of designated reserves held for future commitments, and the continued
availability of mitigations to manage short-temi financial pressures. On this basis, the Trustees
were satisfied that reserves held at the year end were appropriate in Ihe conlext of the Globe's
overall financial posttion and risk profile.
The Trustees recognise the Importan￿ of maintaining free reserves in line with policy over
the medium term and have therefore considered the Irajeclory of resetves as part of the
Globe's forward financial planning. Future operating surpluses are budgeled to support the

requirements, including eslale mainlenall￿ and business continutty risks. While designated
funds are held for s￿CIfiC purposes. they provide an additional source of financial flexibility in
exceptional Circumstan￿S.
The Globe continues to operate within a strategic framework designed to rebuild and maintain
long-term financial resilien￿. supported by robust budgeting. cash-flow forecasting and
scenario planning.
GOING CONCERN
The Tnjslees and Directorate recognise that Shakespeare's Globe operates wrthin a complex
and evolving external environmenl, shaped by macroeconomic uncertainty, inflationary
pressures, and the operational demands of running a major cultural and visilor-led venue.
These fadors present both Tisks and opportunities as Ihe Organisation navigates the next
phase of its strategic development.
In fomiing their assessmenl of going concern, the Trustees have considered detailed budgets
and cash-flow projections covering a period of al leasl 12 months from the dale of approval of
these financial statements. The Globe's 202>2030 Strategic Plan providès additional context
for this, outlining a bold five-year initiative focused on transformation and investment to securè
lasting financial slabilty and strengthen mission impact. The Strategic Plan marks thè
transition from post-pandemic stabilisation to a peri￿￿ of purp)seful growth with new income
streams, underpinned by a wider 10-year vision and the new triple bottom line which reflects
our work, audiences and overall impact.
The Trustees note that the Strategic Plan is supported by acLompanying Strategic Objectives
and Key Results IS-OKRsl, a financial framework and fve-year budget. and a delivery plan
that will guide the sequencing of activity and measurement of progress. This structured
long-term planning provides a robust foundation for assessing future financial viabilrty.
Based on this detailed review of short- and medium-term financial forecasts, the mitigation
strategies available to management, and the organisational direction set out in the 2025-2030
strategic Plan, the Trustees are satisfied that Shakespeare's Globe has adequate resources
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingty, the Trustees
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. Further
detail is provided in Note 3 to the accounts.

INVESTMENT POLICY
The Globe's primary objectives wf(h regard to its funds are to:
protect the capital value of the investment.
provide appropriate levels of liquidity to meet predicted cash-flow needs.
appropriately consider environmental, social and governance factors
In the majorty of cases this will mean holding funds in bank deposits where we require that
the banks have a strong credit rating {Al and provide a deposit guarantee. As appropriate. a
limited amount of other options may be considered that do nol impact on these primary
investment objectives. This may mean that limited short-lemi capital volalilily would be
acceptable.
The Globe primarity holds cash in slerling but may maintsin a limited amount of international
currency, in particular US dollars, lo assist with international cashflow.
Investment decisions are made by the Board of Trustees with some delegat￿n lo the Audit
and Risk Committee.
INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the Globe has effective systems lo identify, manage
and control risks across the organisation. The primary tool of risk management is the risk
register, which records and assesses all significant risks, controls and other measures in pla
to mitigate those risks and ensures that those measures are effective. In addition, policies and
controls have been reviewed or introduced.
The risk register is presented al every Audit and Risk CoMM￿ee meeting and, in addition, the
Board reviews significant risks on a regular basis er¢her as full Board or in Committees. Within
these reviews they ensure that any internal controls are commensurate. economic and
effective. During the year, Ihe Audil and Risk Committee has considered Ihe best melhod of
evaluating risks in detail and intr(Kluced a schedule of topics for deep dive investigation.
The Board also reviews a Fraud Risk assessment which is presented yearty for review and
discussion.
The Truslees are satisfied that appropriale rtsk management and internal control systems and

pressures and wider e¢(￿oMiC condilions. While the organisation benefits from 8 diversified
income base, fluctuations in earned income. fundraising performan￿ or Cost levels could
impact financial resilience. The Trustees activety manage this risk through prudent
budgeting, regular finanual forecasting, cost control and the Maintenan￿ of appropriate
reserves.
Operatlonal dellvery and capaclty of the estate
As a historic public venue with high levels of visitor and audience activity, the Globe faces
ongoing operational risks associated with maintsining. operating and developing ils estate.

resilient and capable of supporting the Globe's artistic and charitable ambitions.
Dellvery of major projects and capltal programmes

cost, timing, funding and operational disruption. Trustees receive regular updates on major
projects and ensure that appropriate governance. financial oversight and risk rnanagement
arrangements are in place throughout delivery.
People. skills and organisational capacity
The Globe's success depends on its ability lo recruit, relain and support skilled staff and
freelancers across artistic, operational and support functions. The organisation operates in a
competitive labour market and faces sector-wide challenges relating lo workforce capacity,
wellbeing and affordability. These risks are managed through workforce planning,
investment in staff development and ongoing review of organisational structures.

onsibilities. This description
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of nonvcompliance with laws and regulations. We
idenlffied and assessed Ihe risks of malerial misslalement of the financial slalemenls from
irregularities, whelher due lo fraud or error. and discussed Ihese belween our audit leam members.
We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive lo Ihose risks, including oblaining
audrt evidence suffi¢ienl and appropri*e lo provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an underslanding of Ihe legal and regulalory frameworks wrthin which the charitable
company and group operales, focusing on those laws and regulalions Ihat have a direct effect on Ihe
delerminalion of material amounls and disclosures in the financial slalemenls. The laws and
regulations we considered in this conlext were the Companies Acl 2006 and the Charities Act 2011,
together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed Ihe required compliance with these laws
and regulations as part of our audrt procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on
the financial slalemenls bul Complian￿ with which might be ne￿$sary lo the Charitable group's
abilty lo operate or lo avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives
that may exist within Ihe charitable group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in Ihis
conlext for the UK operalions were laxalion legislation, empl¢)ymenl legislalion, General Data
Protection Regul*ion (GDPR) and health and safety legislation.
Auditing standards limrt the required audrt procedures lo identify non-compliance with these laws and
regulations lo enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal
correspondence, rf any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities,
including fraud. lo be within the liming of recognition of grant, donation and legacy income, and the
override of controls by management including through significant eslimales and judgements. Our
audit procedures lo respond lo these risks induded enquines of management and the Audit & Risk
Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing
on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting eslimales for biases, reviewing regulatory
correspondence with the Charty Commission. and reading minutes of meetings of those charged
wrth governance.
Owing to the inherent limrtations of an audrt, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have
detected some material misstatements in the financial slalemenls, even though we have property
planned and performed our audit in accordance wrth audrting standards. For example, the further
removed non-complian￿ with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and

required by auditing standards would identfy it. In addition. as with any audit. there remained a
higher risk of non-delection of irregularrties. as these may involve collusion. forgery. intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of intemal controls. We are not responsible for
preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and
regulations.
Use of our report

Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we
