**Prime Theatre (Registered number: 02163378)** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

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 March 2022. 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 and aims** 

As set out in the charity's governing document the charity's objectives are: 

To promote, maintain, improve, and advance public education, appreciation and understanding of the arts, particularly by the formulation, preparation, establishment and production of educational plays, festivals and production. 

The principal activity of the charity is a theatre company. The charity uses the medium of drama to educate young people about social issues which directly affect their lives. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The trustees consider that they have acted in the public benefit. 

Prime Theatre advances education, understanding, inclusion and artistic skills development though the making of theatre. By specialising in theatre and theatre-making projects for children and young adults, Prime Theatre celebrates, inspires and challenges young people to secure the best possible future for us all. We give voice to a major and often-unheard section of our society and work to promote their health and happiness.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

Trustees and staff planned a careful programme of work in this, protective of our strong reserves and expecting that nether the world nor the children we serve in it would bounce back to normality after Covid-19. We remained responsive to partnership and fundraising opportunities, optimising the reach of our public funds and the positive difference they can make to children and young people. 

We developed our digital engagement with young audiences, artists and participants. We ran a mixed programme of activity, online and in person where Covid, safeguarding and premises allowed. We moved back into our home at the Wyvern Theatre in Sept 21 after a temporary residency at The White Horse Federation of Schools Central Office. 

We are grateful to a wide range of funders, especially Arts Council England who remained our largest funder as part of its National Portfolio. 

Swindon Borough Council entered our funding income again with a direct commission for a new Creative Arts Programme (CAP), referring young people from priority groups (e.g., Care Leavers) to our activities for improvements in mental health, education and employment prospects. The number and diversity of qualifications delivered through CAP secured our second year as a National Arts Award Champion Centre. Several participants received awards for their achievements in this area. We intend for this strand to become central to our charitable objectives and mission: engaging young people with arts and education, especially those from underserved communities. 

## **Professional productions:** 

- 10 Tiny Plays About Wiltshire: A community project with BBC Radio Wiltshire completed its development stage with writers from the community in early 2020, but recording and transmission were completed in 21-22 

- Windrush: A second year of education activity online and in schools both on Windrush Day (26 June) and Black History Month (October) 

- Mine Own True Self: A Heritage Female Engineers project encouraging primary pupils to create their own inventions and to deepen engagement in science was produced with STEAM: Museum of Railway Life. 5 short films, featuring professional actors and primary pupils were filmed for a teaching resource 

## **Youth productions and theatre training:** 

- Youth theatre workshops for actors, when possible, were delivered in person from our temporary base. Numbers and the mixing of age groups were dramatically affected by social distancing measures and new regulations preventing under 16s from mixing with those over this age 

- Youth Theatre benefited from Prime being a partner in LAMDA's Pathways Programme encouraging young creatives into formal training. They experienced free workshops alongside two sixth form colleges 

- We joined an international programme for young LGBTQ+ creatives; 4 Nations - in partnership with youth organisations in Scotland, France, Germany and Canada - Special Education Needs Youth Theatre Workshops ran online and in person where possible funded by Children In Need 

## **Education and Community Programme:** 

- Paul Hamlyn Teacher Development Project: This two-year project became a three-year strategy due to Covid. 20 teachers across 8 primaries, continued a series of Active Learning skills developments. Schools reported an increase in creativity across the curriculum, increased confidence and efficacy in teachers and a timely positive impact on the mental health and engagement of pupils within the programme. Schools began individual development projects & activities designed by teachers, supported by Prime and across a wide range of art forms. Schools had a range of performances, visual arts weeks, music projects, creative writing & performance poetry events 

- Rock at the Rocks: We assisted one of our Paul Hamlyn schools in securing additional funds from the Armed Forces Community Covenant to create an outdoor performance at Stonehenge mixing history with performance 

## **Access for All:** 

-We continued to use restricted funds to support vulnerable children and close the education gap which increased during and after Covid-19 

-We continued to support D/deaf children throughout our funded programmes from Postcode Lottery and Wiltshire Community Fund 

-Wiltshire Community Fund and #IWill supported our Young Arts Leaders strand building leadership skills and youth voice: this group designed, delivered and commissioned professional artists across a series of free to access online events for children and families 

- Prime took a supportive peer development with SAPAC (South Asian Performing Arts Centre) as they engaged in a long creative and community engagement project increasing access, opportunity and representation in Swindon 

- We secured £50k of Levelling Up capital funding to support Arts Award qualifications in areas of low activity and used this to purchase a new van, creative and technical resources to use in specific communities

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position** 

At 31 March 2022, total funds were £323,850. 

Prime ended the financial year 2021-22 with a large amount of Restricted Funds of £104,033 that were secured to deliver key projects. These funds will be spent as planned and in accordance with funding agreements. 

Designated Funds remain held at agreed levels to meet any appropriate redundancy costs and fees related to any business closure. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees are committed to building reserves that would enable the charity to fulfil its obligations, statutory and otherwise, in the event of a cessation of operations. At 31 March 2022 the trustees had designated funds of £75,000 to meet this objective. A designated fund of £15,000 has also been made for emergency replacement of equipment and programming contingency. Total unrestricted funds were £129,817 which includes £35,993 of tangible fixed assets. The amount of free reserves held (excluding restricted funds, designated funds and tangible fixed assets) are £93,824. These funds are in excess of our policy. The trustees acknowledge that with the proposed development of a new  cultural quarter in Swindon the charity may need to move premises. These excess reserves will allow the charity to cover the financial costs of any move. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Organisational structure** 

Day to day management of the charity's affairs is delegate to the Management Team, comprising professional advisors and administrators. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

The charity provides an induction pack and appropriate training for new trustees. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

In satisfaction of this responsibility, the charity has prepared a Three Year Plan that identifies issues, many of them financial, which might impair the fulfilment of the charity's objectives, unless countered successfully. The Three Year Plan is reviewed annually.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Prime Theatre** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Prime Theatre ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of DChA FCA which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

There are no significant areas of judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty. 

## **Going Concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions** 

The charity has taken exemption from preparing a cash flow statement under the charities SORP (FRS 102) as the charity constitutes a small charity. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 

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 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. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Stage and office equipment - 20% on straight line basis Motor vehicles - 20% on straight line basis 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting**
