During the 2023-24 academic year, Kabosh brought work from our catalogue directly into schools to prompt learning and discussion on the legacy of conflict, borders, policing, gender politics, women's rights, the housing crisis, human trafficking, and domestic servitude.
In addition to presenting work in schools, several groups of pupils were provided with subsidised tickets to experience shows in theatre settings.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Belfast City Council's International Women's Day Celebrations
Kabosh collaborated with Belfast City Council to present a series of performances and discussions celebrating International Women's Day, and the historic unveiling of statues of Winifred Carney and Mary Ann McCracken in the grounds of Belfast City Hall. During the unveiling of these statues, Charlotte McCurry and Carol Moore performed monologues depicting Carney and McCracken respectively, featuring scripts written by Tony Devlin, Louise Mathews, Laurence McKeown, and Clare McMahon. These monologues were reprised at an evening of performance and discussion at City Hall featuring poetry from Anesu Mtowa and music from Katie Richardson, alongside a panel discussion chaired by Lynette Fay with contributions from Chouger Maria Doughramajian, Dr Myrtle Hill, Eva Martin, and Patricia McKeown. Presented to a combined audience of 1,004.

Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The charity had total fund reserves of £102,106 as at 31st March 2024, comprising £25,853 of restricted reserves, £39,706 of general unrestricted reserves and £36,547 of designated unrestricted reserves.
The charity's aim is to hold designated unrestricted reserves equivalent to three months operating costs in the event of a significant unexpected event or the winding up of the company. This will be achieved through the designation of unrestricted net income at the end of each financial year. General unrestricted reserves are available for the furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted reserves are funds which must be used in accordance with the requirements of the awarding body.
FUTURE PLANS
Kabosh intends to continue its activities outlined in the new strategy, subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. Plans have been developed to commence a number of new productions and it is hoped that the company will realise a full creative programme over the next three years. The current model of operation includes a three-pronged approach to fundraising; sectoral funding, earned income, and charitable giving (including trusts and foundations).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Kabosh
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages seven to twenty two.
Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner
As the charity's trustees (and also the 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.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 65 of the Charities Act
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under Section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
I have examined your charity accounts as required under Section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under Section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
-
That accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
-
That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records
-
That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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
-
That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
