APPENDIX 1

Summary of the main achievements of | We successfully rehearsed and produced a 5-night run of the popular the charity during the financial period — stage show ‘Anything Goes’. Ticket sales were up slightly compared to the previous year but the cost of putting on a musical theatre show continues to increase in general. We had to hire additional lighting and stage equipment for this show due to restrictions placed on us by the local council which prevented us from using our own equipment. We were able to undertake a £12000 project to install two new lighting trusses in the town hall thanks to significant donations from the local council and hall management committee. Our fundraising team organised two very successful coffee mornings, an evening of entertainment based on the TV ‘Taskmaster’ series, a quiz night and a cabaret show. We also held regular raffles and our annual summer barbecue. The Balance Sheet shows a surplus of £505. The main source of our income came from the sale of tickets for our performances, members and patrons’ fees, donations and the various fundraising activities we hold throughout the year. Outgoings included all the expected costs of putting on a stage show, performance royalties and insurance, but these were higher than usual due to the additional equipment hire costs.

Brief statement of the charity’s policy The majority of the banked funds held by the charity are unrestricted funds on reserves and represent income earned but not yet utilised in supporting the charity's activities. The restricted funds are monies held in trust or received from grants for specific purposes, but not yet allocated. At 30-06-2025, the charity held £18636 of unrestricted funds in the bank account. An additional £28241 of restricted funds was held in three trust funds to ensure the future financial stability of the Society. The Trustees consider this to be sufficient to allow the work of the charity to continue. Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any) | None
