Section D Achievements and performance

The main event of our year was our summer performance of The Summary of the main Addams family at the Stiwt Theatre where we are based. To allow the achievements of the charity highest number of members who wanted to perform major roles to realise during the year their ambition, we staged four performances using two casts. This worked well and we intend to do the same next year. We have also performed in the community - at Christmas by singing in nursing homes and in a joint concert with the local Male Voice Choir to showcase and develop our talents in the local community. During the year we applied to form a new Charity as a CIO - it is expected that we will make the transfer sometime during the 2025-2026 academic year.

Section E Financial review

The charity’s main income is from membership fees. We also have an Brief statement of the active fundraising team. After being low on reserves during the previous charity’s policy on reserves financial year, we are now in a better position. We have around £16K more in our account at the end of the year than was the case 12 months ago. This is due to two unusual factors that we were unaware of at the start of the financial year. 1. a second historical fundraising account containing around £5K was found and released. This account predated any of the current trustees’ involvement by a number of years. We have asked around to be as sure as possible that there are no further frozen historical accounts. 2. One of our artistic staff decided to give us his time free of charge for the whole of the financial year.

We also have a grant for £2K to cover storage costs that we have not yet spent- we are actively looking into using this in the coming months.

As in previous years, we aim to start each financial/academic year with around £6,000, which equates to around four months’ income. This ensures that we will have a minimum of around £3,000-£4,000 in our account immediately following the summer performance. We are intending to be closer to this figure at the end of the next financial year. The largest change in our outgoings may be storage costs- this is something that was traditionally provided by a local business for free, but the location is no longer suitable and we are actively looking at how we can keep any ongoing storage costs as low as possible.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

None.
