SEAFORD DRAMATIC SOCIETY

Registered Charity Number 294769

Trustees Report and Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December, 2023

Seaford Little Theatre

Steyne Road

Seaford, East Sussex BN25 1HA

Report for Charity Commission 2023

In both 2022 and 2023 the Seaford Dramatic Society, following the pandemic when the theatre was closed for some 18 months, managed to return to its regular programme of four major theatre productions per year. And it has been encouraging to witness our audiences returning and as time progresses these are building up in numbers to now be close to pre-pandemic levels, thereby helping to replenish our finances.

It is our endeavour to put on as wide a range of plays that will appeal to the people of Seaford and surrounding area. Our four productions in 2023 represented the most diverse set for some time. We were particularly excited to try a Shakespeare; a first in our history.

March 2023 Aurelia by Tudor Gates and Robert Thomas June 2023 Enchanted April by Matthew Barber September 2023 12[th] Night by William Shakespeare December 2023 All My Sons by Arthur Miller

All were received very positively in the local press, and now we are busy preparing and presenting the forthcoming plays for 2024/2025.

All this has been with the backdrop of eye-watering energy bills and an old building needing constant attention to its crumbling structure.

We have a loyal membership of some 60 people, which includes our teams of production crew and actors plus a Friends group of 44 who keep us afloat through their subscriptions and ticket sales for our plays.

These together with some local organisations are actively helping us raise funds to meet the high cost of having our leaking roof repaired.

I have carried out my examination and no material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe that accounting records are not kept as required by the Charities Act or the accounts do not accord with those records.

Examiners Report 2023

I've completed my review of the accounts. Some comments:-

a) I note that you didn't need to send Trustees' Report & Accounts to the Charity Commission for the past two years owing to the income level. However, for 2023 you will need to make a submission as your income now exceeds £25k

b) unfortunately the Balance Sheet didn't balance for both 2022 and 2023. This was caused by not using the correct prior year depreciation for Freehold Property in 2022. It should be £23,865 instead of £1,239

c) the formatting for 2023 shows pence, whereas 2022 is pounds only

d) the balance per the bank statement is £27,353.13 whereas the balance sheet shows £27,363.13. You have identified a difference of £10 on the Bank Control Sheet; it would be better to expense this against 'sundry expenses'. This would make the surplus for the year £6,646, and show the balance per the bank on the Balance Sheet

e) for neatness, remove the word 'deficit' from P&L and BS as both years show a surplus; plus there are some other minor presentational issues

f) I've adjusted for b), c), d) and e) in the accounts pack you emailed. It's now returned with the updated P&L and BS. They are the only tabs which have been changed

g) I noted the additions to F&F. This was for Chubb servicing and new extinguishers (£399.08), and the s&f of a sign light by Staffway Electrical (£882.72). The Staffway invoice #387 stated 'part 1 materials only'. From the expenses sheet I noted a payment for a 'part 2' for £450; I couldn't find the invoice, but I assume this was the labour content. If so, the labour was expensed and the materials capitalised. I also noted other like expenditure eg replacing a metal pole/fence and replacing a second light - these were both expensed. There's no significant issue here, but it may be worth including a note on capitalisation policy for the 2024 accounts pack

h) I noted the following EDF transactions - a payment of £8,541.65 in Jan'23 and a refund of £9,836.33 in Feb'23, apparently caused by the over-estimating of your consumption.

I've printed out the P&L and Balance Sheet from the attached and signed the Balance Sheet.
