Report and Financial Statements Year ending 31st JULY 2020 Charity number 503479 Website; maghullmtc.co.uk ## MAGHULL MUSICAL THEATRE COMPANY ## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 1 FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST JULY 2020 The Trustees are pleased to present their Annual Report together with the Audited Financial Statements of the charity for the year ending 31[st] July 2020 which are prepared to meet the requirements of the Charity Commission. ## CHAIRMAN’S REPORT (Overview): For obvious reasons, my report will not be quite the same as usual! We began the year with high expectations. Several of us attended the Noda Awards Night in January, following on from two successful shows in 2019, namely ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ and ‘Gypsy’. In both of these shows the cast gave their usual 110% and made me very proud, At the awards Liam Rabbette and Les Longley were both Nominated for “Best Supporting Actors in a Musical”. Becky Barrie was Nominated for “Best Female Actress in a Musical” and Matthew Christiansen won “Best Performance by a Young Actor”. Regrettably by March the euphoria was dashed by a total local down due to Covid-19. Rehearsals and many planned events were sadly cancelled and eventually our new show ‘Calamity Jane’ was cancelled too. I want to thank the many people who rallied round, especially our committee. We regularly met via “Zoom” and kept the Company going. Some of us also attended by zoom NODA Region 6 and SDC meetings. Many thanks to Becky who organised and raised funds by setting up via zoom a “Sing 5, Nominate 5, Pay 5”. Thanks also to Gill and Ian who raised funds by organising a sponsored walk and to Lee and Alex who put on a zoom Cockney Quiz to add to the total. As the year progressed it became apparent shows and indoor events would be impossible, so all were cancelled. When lockdowns were lifted, we managed socially distanced garden committee meetings and I visited all our older members to take flowers and check on their wellbeing. As the year ended, we realised it would probably be another year before we were fully back in the theatre So again, thanks to everyone who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes through 2020 to keep us afloat and to Graham our treasurer for keeping our heads above water financially. ## Betty Hall Chairman 2 ## OUR PURPOSES AND ACTIVITIES The purposes of the charity are: “ _To entertain the public in the musical theatre arts and to provide a safe, enjoyable environment for people to pursue musical theatre as a hobby”._ The vision that shapes our annual activities remains the promotion and fostering of knowledge, and the appreciation of the arts. This is done by the provision of facilities for the education and recreation of the public in the field of musical theatre. The charity also has the general aim of contributing to the quality of life of the people of Maghull and of Sefton by expanding their horizons through the provision of exciting and accessible amateur musical theatre. ## PUBLIC BENEFIT: In shaping the objectives and planning our activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging. The charity relies on occasional grants and the income from fees and charges to cover its operating costs. In setting the level of fees, the Trustees give careful consideration to the accessibility of the theatre for those on low incomes. To achieve the charity’s aims and objectives we: Present two musical productions each year for the enjoyment and education of our local community; Offer opportunities for a broad range of people to get involved in our musical activities; Concentrate on involving young people in the arts to help encourage a culture in which different age ranges play a complimentary part. We have two major areas of activity which are: musical productions at the Little Theatre in Southport and concerts and stage performances at Maghull Parish Hall which are fund-raising activities to support our charity. Our programme of activities focus very much on bringing the arts to the community of Maghull and Sefton. We endeavour to encourage all within our community to take part in our activities and to attend our local theatre. The activities we provide is to be enjoyed by all, from those attending local schools and colleges to our older residents. ## MUSICAL PRODUCTIONS: 3 In November 2019 we performed ‘Gypsy’ at the Little Theatre in Southport for five performances to a supportive audience. We had planned to perform in June 2020 ‘Calamity Jane’ at the same venue and rehearsals were well under way when Covid-19 brought rehearsals to an abrupt halt. During the rest of the year (July 2019 to August 20200) we continually moved the dates of musical shows already booked further back in time and a decision was eventually taken to resume rehearsals in January 2022. ## CONCERTS AND STAGE PERFORMANCES AT MAGHULL PARISH HALL; During the year we managed to hold a “Race Night” in October 2019 which was well supported and a “Cockney Quiz” in December 2019. Further planned events were cancelled due to Covid-19. ## OUR VOLUNTEERS: Our charity relies on voluntary help in all it’s activities. Beside those amateur performers who display their talents at the Little Theatre, over twenty volunteers assist with stewarding the performances. Most are members of the Company. ## OUR ARTISTIC VALUES: Tastes are not the same for everyone, but we take the views of our audience seriously. We respect the diverse ethnic, faith, sexual orientation and lifestyles of our community and audience. Any complaints are considered, we may not always agree but we do give any complaint the dignity of a response. ## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE: The attendance for ‘Gypsy’ was disappointing with audience figures of just over 50%. This led to a detailed analysis by the Treasurer of the finances of future shows and how we could reduce costs and raise income. The committee have studied this, and certain changes have been agreed which should meet the aim of maintaining healthy finances. Our key financial aim remains a financially sustainable musical theatre company. We are very grateful to our sponsors for their support. ## PRICING POLICY: Tickets vary according to the estimated cost of a production. The latest price was £17.00 with a small discount for groups of over 20 on a Thursday evening only. We also provide a 10% discount for Students and NHS workers. ## RESERVES POLICY: 4 Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of resources and to cover unplanned emergencies. Our aim is to have a Reserve Budget of between £15,000 and a maximum of £20,000. This was agreed by the Committee and Adopted at the Meeting held on Friday 1[st] March 2019. ## REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS: Charity Number 503479 Address for Correspondence: The Secretary, 27, Westover Road, Maghull, Lancashire.
