Trustees' Report
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
Objectives, strategies and activities
The principal activity of Wokingham Theatre (the Theatre or WT) is to promote the enjoyment of all aspects of theatre in the Wokingham area and to provide facilities and opportunities for its members to participate in such activities.
Use of volunteers
Theatre membership is open to anyone over the age of 16 against an annual subscription of £20 (£5 for students) and those members work on an unpaid basis to carry out all the activities associated with staging performances, maintaining the building and equipment, administering the Theatre, and running the Youth Theatre.
There are no selection criteria for members, and all members receive a monthly newsletter which includes notification of show auditions as well as appeals for assistance in other aspects of the Theatre's activities such as helping Front of House during productions.
Achievements and performance
We were able to provide a full schedule of eight productions in 2024-25.
In 2023-24 we sold an average of 93% of tickets available; in 2024-25 we were slightly below this figure (91.5%) but this is still something to be very proud of. We are pleased to see that we continue to draw in such good audiences and that many patrons are returning repeatedly to enjoy what WT offers.
The target for 2025/26 is set at 90% although we of course hope to beat that. However, we do feel it better to set manageable expectations and exceed them.
The Youth Theatre was able to offer a full schedule of in-theatre classes in all three terms and held a showcase in the summer term. In addition, the Youth Theatre had their own production held over 3 days (4 shows) in February 2025.
The Board is keen to make the Theatre's facilities available to the wider community when it is not required for our own activities. A wide range of community or commercial groups use the theatre space, and we support this with volunteer staff where needed. We were able to provide 7 full performances for a wide range of local charities to use as part of their fund-raising activities; this will remain at 7 in 2025-26.
WT has used professional 'fight training and intimacy co-ordinator' services for productions where the production has required it. We will continue to look to offer further training opportunities to members where budget allows and there is an identified need.

Trustees' Report
Financial review
Policy on reserves
The Theatre has no outstanding loans or other financial commitments. Budgets are agreed by the Board at the start of the financial year - based on past expenditure and any planned variation from the norm. Through the monthly financial reporting, the Board is able to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet anticipated spend. At the end of the financial year the Theatre had reserves of £1,017,778 and remains a going concern.
Investment policy and objectives
Overall, the Theatre's policy is to identify its accumulated retained profit as a "building fund" to finance future enhancements to the property and its facilities.
The plans for building a Studio continue; in 2024-25 we have received planning permission for the rest of the building works (including the Studio).
The plan is still to proceed in phases, and the Board will consider the financial implications before each phase is started. At this stage it is not planned to seek loans to cover the works; the aim would be to finance the works from our reserves over the coming years (but this is subject to further review by the board). This will be the subject of further discussions and planning at the Board level as we seek to put together a more strategic plan. We did see some cost increases due to ongoing inflationary issues, but less than forecast (as inflation rates decreased and some expected increases did not happen at all).
Our Energy costs are well under control now; we took the opportunity to renegotiate our contracts and as a result our Electricity rates decreased. Gas prices did increase – but by less than the Electricity reduction – so overall our energy costs were lower.
Ticket prices remained the same for the 2024-25 season and into the 2025-26 season. Members have already agreed a price increase for the 2026-27 season which will go on sale in May 2026.
With no large capital project due to start soon, we have not applied for grants, and so fundraising has been more limited again this year. The Building project is subject to review in the coming financial year, but as we have no idea at this stage what costs are or when work will start, we have not put a figure in the 2025/26 forecast.
Any costs that we do agree / incur are planned to come from our existing reserves, and so we are not planning any specific fundraising activities at this stage.
We did receive a significant sum of £5,000 as a grant which has been allocated to the Youth Theatre, and is in the overall Gift Aid & Donations we received which was £7,534 for the year.
Plans for future periods
Aims and key objectives for future periods
There are no plans to make fundamental changes to the Theatre's annual programme of activities or way of operating. The Board's policy is to maintain and build on our strong position in the community by offering a varied and challenging programme for our members and audiences and by making ourselves accessible to a broad spectrum of the local community.

Wokingham Theatre
Trustees' Report
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Wokingham Theatre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Disclosure of information to auditor
Each trustee has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information. The trustees confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 17 December 2025 and signed on its behalf by:
Ms S De Quidt Company secretary

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wokingham Theatre
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wokingham Theatre (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 August 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Wokingham Theatre
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wokingham Theatre
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
-
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities (set out on page 5), the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Page 7
Wokingham Theatre
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wokingham Theatre
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment,and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

1 Charity status
Wokingham Theatre (Registered Company Number: 01933168) is an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales.
The address of its registered office is: Twyford Road Wokingham Berkshire RG40 5TU
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements 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.
Basis of preparation
Wokingham Theatre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Going concern
Based upon a review of recent trading results, coupled with forecasts prepared on behalf of the Board, the trustees have an expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The preparation of the financial statements on the going concern basis is therefore deemed appropriate.
Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of a theatrical performance is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
Membership donations
Membership donations are recognised when the donations have been received by the theatre.
Page 12
Wokingham Theatre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
Theatre show tickets
Sales of tickets for the performances put on by the theatre are recognised in the SOFA when the performances have been completed. Prior to the performances, the revenue generated by the sale of tickets are accounted for as deferred income.
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of charitable activities including the costs of performances, room hire, and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
-
Charitable activities represents items not falling into the category above.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets held for the charities own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as below:
Short leasehold - 2% and 4% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 15% on cost Computer equipment - Straight line over 3 years
Trade 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the balance sheet date.
Liquid investments with a maturity of over three months are recognised as investments.
Page 13
Wokingham Theatre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
Trade creditors
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. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts.
