Chairfs Report
In comparison to the challengin8 years we faced as an organisation during the COVID-19 pandemic
and the Subsequent issues experienced across both the arts and criminal justice sector5, 2022123 felt
like a surprisingw 'nomal' 12 month5. wlth a high level of demand from ooanisations and
institutions looking to commission face-to-face work again. Although prisons were slow to return to
pre<ovid regimes we still managed to deliver a range of ex￿lIent projects, including a series of
groupwork interventions at HMP Featherstone. our regular resettlement work at HMP Whatton, our
ongoing work with the Drug and Alcohol Team at HMP Rye Hill, and our partnership workin8 With
HMP Oakwt￿d.
Training and conference work wa5 dominated by a large commission by one public sector
organisation who asked us to develop a new performance exploring coercTron and control. Thls piece
was piloted in April 2022 and then rolled out to their entire staff team thirty-six times over the
course of the year, with further delÈvery exlending into 2023124.
Moreover. 2022123 was dorninated by international work. with the company being involved in two
major overseas projects-. tollaborating with the University of Cape Town and Second Chance Theatre
Company in South Africa- and delivering training for the New South Wales Corrertions Department
in Sydney. Australia. The former was funded by the British Council International Collaboration Fund
and enabled the company to work closely wtth colleagues in Cape Town. exploring similarities and
differences in delivering creative. rehabilitative projects in the two countries. gNen the very
different Systems and 50cietal contexts in which the work is delivered. The latter invofved two of the
Geese team delivering a range of 3-day and l-day training events to programme writers and
developers, psychologists and prison officers in Sydney. helping the NSW Corrections Department to
think more creatively about the development and delivery of their offending behaviour treatment
programmes.
l am, as ever. grateful to my fellow Board of Trustees members for helping to guide the organisation
as we moved out of the pandemic. However. greatest thanks rnust go to the incredibly dedicated

One of our largest commissions in 2022123 came from one criminal justice agency who worked
closely with us to develop a perfomance exploring domestic abuse, coercion and controllinE
behaviours and the way in which their staff might manage cases involving those themes. This

performance was presented over thirty times throughout the year to a total audiente of over 2100
people.
In addition to performances which are delpiered multiple times we are often asked to collaborate
closely with an organisation to explore some very specific themes to develop a perfomiance which
might only be presented once or twice. One such commission came from Leicestershire Supporting
Families. a multi-agency working group. WI￿ wanted us to develop a piece which would allow
professionals (police. school. early help etcl to consider the needs of children who have parents in

Other Staff Trainlnc
Groupwork for staff can take a variety of fomis:
Using theat￿. drama and active methods to enable small groups of professionals to
explore challenges they might face in their work and to practlse solutions and ways of
working in a safe and supportive space:
providing staff with training in specific theatre-based tools and techniques and a space
in which to safely prartise using the technique5.
In 2022123 we were commissioned to delNer a number of the latter trainin8 events, mainly for
probation programmes teams Istsff who deliver a range of accredited groupwork programmes with
people serving community sentences) and primarily providing them with training in the effective
delivery of skills-practice role-play techniques and a safe space in which to practice those
techniques.

very different. intemational projects:
UM￿sked.
From July 2022 to March 2023 Geese. University of Cape Town and members of The Second Chance
Theatre Project engaged in a collaborative exploration of theatre and drama in criminal justice and
social welfare settings. Throughout the exchange prattitioner5 from Geese visited Cape Town and
practitioners from Second Chance visited Birmingham, with a series of remote sessions in between.
During these visits and sessions, practitioners explored how different cultural and social contexts
influence social justice arts pradices in the UK and South Africa and how Geese metl)odology, in
particular the use of masks, works in UK criminal justice and social welfare settings. This resulted in
the adaption and creation of culturally diverse masks and scenarios.
"This collaborotion with Second Chonte has been rith in leorning, on both o professionol ond

Financial Review
As outlined in the Chairfs report. Geese Theatre Company had a successful year. With delivery at close
to pre-pandemic levels. We ended the year with a surplus of £9,589. We were fortunate to benefit
from continued sUPPOrt from the Arts Council England and several trusts and foundations, which,
Combined with new grants and significant growth in earned income on the previous year. means
Geese's financial po%tion was sound going into 2023124.
Total income for 2022123 of £539.818 was up £173,804 or47% on the previou5 year12022: £366.0141.
This was due to increases in both eamed income and income from grants and donations. The former
increased by £109.884 or 71% 10 £265.04912022: £155.165}. The growth was primarily the result of
an increase in Conferen￿ perfomiances {54 compared to 21 in the previous yearl, the majority of
which were part of a large cornmTrssion detailed earlier in thi5 report. Invoiteable Broupwork in secure
settings also increased as cov1￿19 restriction5 in prison5 eased. Income froffl 8rants and donations
of £253.116 (detailed on the following pagel was up £62.904 or 33% on the previou5 year12022-
£190,212). While no Culture Recovery Fund ICRF) or Coronavirus Job ftetent￿n Scheme ICJRSI funding
was available in 2022123. postponed projetts fvnded by Arts Council England and the Paul Hamlyn
Foundation were able to start and the company received funding for a number of new projects, a5
well as repeat or continuing fvndrng from other grant makers.
Expenditu￿ increased to E530,229, up £107.225 or 25% on the previous year12022.' £423.0041.
Expenditure increased across all budget lines except depreciation costs, reflecting increased delivery
in 2022123 compared with 2021122 and the cost of living crisis. Motor and travel costs, sundry
expenses and project costs increased most significantly. Staff costs also increased from 2021122, when
Staff worked reduced hours for the fflajortty of the year, as all but one staff member {who opted to
ontinue working fewer hours) worked ILXN of theirpre-pandemic hours. The company also recruited
two new praclitioners Ireplaong only one outgoing practitioner) and for a new Administrator role.
The company has a clean balance sheet and closes the year with a cash balance of £345.308. At the
time of writing Iseptember 20231 Geese has confimied more than 60% of budgeted invoiceable
income and has a healthy pipeline of potential tommissions. The cashflow and budget show that

In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitsble companvs ability to

basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to IKiuidate the charitable company or to cease operatbons. or
have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilitie5 for the audtt of the finanrijl ststenbents
Our objectives are to obtain feasonable a55ur3nce èbout whether the financial statements as a whole are free frorn
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorf5 report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but 15 not a guarantee that an audit conducted in atcordance
with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when tt exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if. indNidualty or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of u5er5 taken on the basi5 of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with law5 and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities. outtined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including
fraud. The specific procedures for ihi5 en8agement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting
Irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We reviewed the companvs control and risk management procedures and planned our work based on our
asse55ment of those contro15 and procedures:
This review included an assessment of the risk of material misstatement due to errors. fraud and
management override of controls for all material areas in the financial statements-
We made enquiries of management and the compan7<s lawyers regarding any actual or potential litigation

Flnancial statements dixlosures were Teyiewed and checked for ¢ompliance with applicable laws-
Detailed testlnB was conducted on balances and tranSaCt￿n5 indudin8 unusual items and those of individual
significance to the ftnanoal statements..
Data anal￿1¢5 were used in order to identify unusual or Significant trends..
Communication5 Wlth management and those charged with governance regarding relevant matters was
undertaken throughout the audit and on completion.

Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements I￿ntInued)
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all ir￿gularItIes, including
those leading to a material misstatèment in the financial statements or non-¢omplian¢è with regulation. This risk
increases the more that cornpliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected
in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instance5 of non-compliance. The risk 15 also
greater regardine irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional Con￿alMent.
