Summary of the maln achlevements of I
the charity during the financial period
Treading The Borders is still recognised as an established theatre
company in the Scottish Borders and further afield. We have
connected with other organisations notably CABN {Creative Arts
Borders Ne￿Ork), Live Borders. DunsPlayFest and MitB (Made in
the Borders).
In May 2025 we staged 'ifs Good to be Bad, at DunsPlayFest which
received exiremely positive reviews with the potential for further
performances elsewhere. It was written by Tom Murray and
performed by Jane Houston Green. Funding is still difficult lo source
so this performance was produced on 3 shoe-string budget but
means that we continue to have a profile of s1gnrf1ran￿.

The procedures uThYertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an
audit and. (x)nsequentiy. I do Th)t express an audrt opinion on Ihe accounts.
