The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31
March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice
ISORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" in preparing the annual report and financial
statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in
notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and
Accounting and Reporting by Charitie5: 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 published in October 2019.
Chair's Report
Whilst 2023/24 was a challenging year for Geese from a financial perspective it is positive to note that
the company has not only maintained, but increased its presence across the secure estate, almost
doubling the number of projects and the number of people in prisons we have reached. I believe this
is because of the excellent reputation for quality that the company has built and sustained over the
years and the level of trust that senior leaders within the prison estate place in Geese to deliver work
that is sensitive, inspiring and effective.
Alongside the prison work has been a healthy mix of staff training events, performances at criminal
justice and social welfare conferences, ongoing community partnerships, and work with academic
partners.
2023/24 was the first yearof Arts Council England's current National Portfolio Investment Programme
and Geese was fortunate to receive additional funding that has enabled us to begin to develop a new
strand of work in Wolverhampton, combining work in HMP Oakwood with projects in the community
and providing training and development opportunities for Wolverhampton-based artlsts. This
initiative shows the companf s commitment to building capacity within the sectorso that more people
can experience the power of art in their recovery journey.
Another initiative of which l am particularly proud is the Creative Licence project. Funded by Art5
Council England, Creative Licence wa5 a pilot project designed to test the p055ibility of developing
employment pathways from prison into the creative industries. Working closely with the resettlement
team at HMP Oakwood and Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the project enabled one serving prisoner
to work across several departments at the Rep while on Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL.) The
project was evaluated by the Institute of Community Research and Development at the University of
Wolverhampton, whose report provides invaluable lessons for both prisons and the creative sector.
l am grateful to my fellow Board of Trustees members for their expertise, guidance and commitment
over the past year. However, the work of Geese can only happen because of the enthusiasm and skill
of the entire staff team. Their dedication to working with some of the most vulnerable and

marginalised people in our society cannot be underestimated and it is because of them that the
work of Geese continues to go from strength to strength.

client groups.
Maintaining a balance across our portfolio of work can be challenging but it is satisfying to note that
in 2023/24 we increased the number of prisons we worked in compared to 2022123 and worked
with almost twice as many participants within those prisons. Many of those prison projects have
been delivered in partnership with specialist units or services, whether that is a Therapeutic
Community, a Psychologically Informed Planned Environment wing (PIPE), the Offending Personality
Disorder Pathway, or Incentivised Substance Free units.

Examples of projects where we worked directly with beneficiaries:
Secure
Our work in secure settings sits at the heart of our portfolio and this year we have maintained
partnerships with prisons we have worked in regularly over the last few years as well as developing
new relationships. One such new relationship was with the Psychologically Informed Planned
Environment (PIPE) unit of women's prison HMP Send, who commissioned us to devise and deliver a
six-session project over a six-week period, working with some of their women. Staff from the unit who
supported the project provided the following feedback:
hefacilitotors were omazing, so welcoming, consistent and a joy to be around. They kept the group
focused whilst having fun, delivered valuable content to our residents whilst keeping them engaged
ond took on board ony feedback they gove. They were IOOYO opproachable, understanding and
adaptoble when required.
I think I was unoware of how much the residents valued these sessions until the lost session when they
were reflecting on their time porticipating in the workshops. The residents were very emotional obout
what they had learnt obout themselves and others during the time with Geese Theotre. One resident
fed bock to the group thot this was the most valuable enrichment octivity that she hos everbeen o part
of on PIPE and thatshe had taken so muchfrom it. I think this has hod a huge impact on the community
and [has helped them withjforming new relotionships and [theirJ understanding of each other."
Community
As mentioned in the Chairfs report, thanks to additional NPO funding from Art5 Council England, we
have been able to develop a new community initiative in Wolverhampton. We are working closely
with the Service User Involvement Team in the city to provide opportunities for people with
experience of the criminal justice system to engage in creative projects. In January 2024 we worked
with a group of six people overtwelve se55ions that culminated in a performance to a packed audience
at Newhampton Arts Centre. Below is feedback from some of the participants:
"I cannot explain how liberated Ifeel. I don't know how, but something ha5 chonged in me and it isfor
the good. The project Is so omazing. The only way you could improve it IS to let us do it again."
"This is one of the most positive, omozing experiences I have had, not only in my recovery but in my
life. I think I huvefound inner strength and copobilities that I never knew I possessed. I truly loved and
enjoyed this work- it is amozing.-

Examples of training work:
Conference Performances
Geese practitioners all work permanently and exclusively for the company, which means that they
are consta ntly engaged in delivering projects in a wide variety of criminal justice and social welfare
settings. Being immersed in the worlds of prison, probation, social work, youth justice, mental health
and social work means the company is in a unique position to be able to respond to organisations
when they are seeking a bespoke solution for a staff event or conference. Every year we are
commissioned to create new performances which explore specific theme5 and 2023124 was no
different, with approximately a quarter of all our performances being bespoke. As an example, in
October 2023 Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council asked us to create a performance which
brought to life findings from a Serious Case Review and which would provoke discussion and debate
amongst the multi-agency audience. Following the performance, the commissioner provided the
following feedback:
"From first communicotion with Geese, they have been brilliontl From moving dates around to
accommodate us to being given a brief ot a very late stoge with a number of theme5 that were
expertly ond cleverly scripted and then delivered by tolented octors. It's o big thank youfrom us, I
know people will be talking about thisfor a long time to come l-
Feedback from the audience was universally excellent, including..
"It was reolly moving ond emotive to see real exomples of lived experiences ond stories bought to life
and to really drive the point home. It was good hoving points of discussion at different points
throughout the performonce. I reollyfelt a ronge of emotions watching it which I didn't expect. It
makes the subject more human but has points of relief with the humour. Highly recommend viewing
to anyone."
Other Staff Training
Groupwork for staff can take different forms:
using theatre, drama and active methods to enable small groups of professionals to
explore challenges they might face in their work and to practise 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 practise using the techniques.

Report of the trustees {continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
Often staff training events are commissioned by criminal justice or social welfare organisations but
increasingly we are receiving requests from other arts organisations, either because they are
interested in developing work in criminal justice settings; want to upskill their staff in working with
people with m ultiple di5advantage,' or want to develop their practitioners, facilitation skills.
"Our group were highly diverse in what angle they were approaching the trainingfrom - some will be
delivering workshops in prisons, some will be working with ex-prisoners, others are coming to itfrom
o writing angle. and l am overseeing the whole project. [Thefocilitator] wasfantostic ot ensuring
everyone got what they neededfrom the session and making every element relevantfor everyone.
He wos totolly engaging ond very responsive / omenable. Not being a facilitator myself I was unsure
how 'useful' it would be for me compored to others attending but [thefocilitotor] is a testament to
the work that Geese Theatre do ond I think I could do afull week of troining with him and still not
want it to end."
Participant, Dante or Die Theatre Company
"My expectations were to h(Jve a space of reflection ond learn o thing or two. They were beyond
fulfilled. This course was absolutely brilliant, it was the best training I've ever had- so beautifully and
brilliantly balonced with activities, oction. games ond some incredible reflection. l am so inspired by
it, and I have learnt so much and it's galvanised me to learn more."
Participant, Camden Roundhouse
Financial Review
As noted in the Chairfs report, Geese Theatre Company has had a challenging year financially, ending
2023/24 with a deficit of £59,890. This is a result of several factors:
Increased staff costs (for both delivery and non-delivery staffl following salary increases in
April 2023 and the expansion of the administrative team in 2022123.
Reduced delivery capacity following the departure of a trainee practitioner and an
unsuccessful round of recruitment for their replacement.
The postponement of planned Spend for some funded projects due to capacity issues, both at
Geese and in partner organisations.
A quieter than anticipated first half of the year, arising from increased lead time5 for
commissioning decisions (our perception being that tighter controls on public sectorspending
has resulted in some proposals requiring sign-off at higher management levels).
Loss of some regular work due to client 5taffinglprocurement process changes.

Total income for 2023124 of £537,855 was down £1,963 or 0.4¥0 on the previous year 12023:
£539,818). A slight decrease in income from grants and donations by4Yo to £244,12412023'. £253,116)
was offset by increases to both earned and investment income. The former increased by £3,576 or
1.3Yo to £268,625 {2023". £265,049). This 51ight growth was due to increased invoiceable work in secure
settings and was achieved despite a decrease in the number of conference performances 128
compared to 54 in the previous year).
Expenditure increased to £597,745, up £67,516 or 13% on the previous year (2023: £530,229).
Expenditure increased acros5 all budget lines except sundry expenses, with staff c05t5 and support
costs seeing the most significant increases and reflecting the experience of the current team. Motor
and travel costs and depreciation also increased from 2022123, resulting from the ongoing cost-of-
living crisis and the purchase of a new vehicle respectively.
The company has a clean balance sheet and closes the year with a cash balance of £226,222. At the
time of writing {September 20241 Geese has confirmed more than 70¥0 of budgeted invoiceable
income and has a healthy pipeline of potential commission5. Staffing costs have decreased following
two resignations and a redundancy, whilst capacity is being maintained by use of freelance
actor/practitioners where required. The cashflow and budget show that Geese continue5 to be
financially viable past March 2025.
Principal funding sources
Across the sector and beyond, pressure on funders has grown this year, with many programmes
oversubscribed and more competition for funding than ever. We are therefore pleased that we have
secured grants for continuing and new projects.
As noted in the Chairfs report, 2023124 was the first year of our new National Portfolio Organisation
(NPOI funding, and Arts Council England has confirmed that the portfolio will continue into 2026/27,
Subject to approval of financial information. This funding includes an uplift on the funding we
received previously as an NPO, which we requested to allow us to develop links across arts, criminal
justice and social welfare sectors in Wolverhampton. This first year has seen creative projects in
HMP Oakwood. with the Service User Involvement Team in the community, and training for artists in
the sertor.
Creative City Legacy Funding, alongside continuing and valued support from the Backstage Trust,
enabled Staging Recovery to work with Geese Practitioners and a filmmaker to create a multimedia
performance exploring the meaning of 'connection'.
Thi5 was also the first year of funding from the William A Cadbury Charitable Trust, supporting the
development and delivery of projects for women in HMP Drake Hall with a history of substance
misuse. These projects continue into 24/25 and are very successful.
We are, as always, extremely grateful to everyone who continues to support Geese in this way.

Investment powers and policy
The executive has the power to invest the moneys of the company not immediately required for its
purpose in or upon such investments, securities or properties as may be thought fit. (Based on Object
4.15 of Memorandum and Articles of Association.) However, there are no immediate plans to invest
funds in anything other than the company's business bank account.
Reserves policy and going concern
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover
unplanned requirements. The trustees regularly review the level of reserve5 to ensure that the
company could continue to function during a period of emergency. Currently, the Board aims to
maintain reserves of a minimum of two months of expenditure and has a review mechanism in place
should the reserves look to breach this.
Unrestricted reserves were £166,797 at 315t March 2024 and represent just over 3.5 months of
planned expenditure for 2024125. The budget for 2024125 shows a surplus of just over £4k and a
growth in reserves.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
Geese Theatre Company Limited
(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Geese Theatre Company Limited (the 'charitable company'} for the
year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement
of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards,
including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland" {United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice}.
In our opinion the financial statements
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024, and of its
incoming resource5 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 u nder those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company's ability to
continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are
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.

materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial
statements themselves. 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.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities statement (set out on page 17}, the trustees {who are also
the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intern31 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 charitable companVs ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basi5 of accounting u nless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or
have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's 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 auditorfs 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 alway5 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respert of irregularities, including
fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detetting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We reviewed the companvs control and risk management procedures and planned our work based on our
assessment of those controls and procedures;
This review included an assessment of the risk of material misstatement due to errors, fraud and
management override of contro15 for all material areas in the financial statements,"
We made enquiries of management and the company's lawyers regarding any actual or potential litigation
and/or claims.
Financial statements disclosures were reviewed and checked for compliance with applicable laws,"
Detailed testing was conducted on balances and transactions including unusual items and those of individual
significance to the financial statements;
Data analytics were used in order to identify unusual or significant trends;
Communications with management and those charged with governance regarding relevant matters was
undertaken throughout the audit and on completion.
Page 21

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
Geese Theatre Company Limited
(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance 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 instances of non-compliance. The risk is also
greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment,
forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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/auditorsrespon5ibilites. This description forms part of our auditor's
reDOrt.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16
of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable
company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for
the opinions we have formed.
