## **Structure, governance and management**
SABOS became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) on 31 October 2023. The structure of the charity consists of members and team leaders. It is managed by three elected trustees (chairperson/president, secretary and treasurer) and five sub-groups, each of which has a team leader. The current Teams are Admin, Finance, Fundraising, Marketing, Production. We are also in the process of formally setting up a Youth Team to cater specifically for our members aged 7-17.
## **Type of governing document**
The charity is governed by a constitution, which was most recently updated on 21/05/25. This sets out the purpose, structure and operation of the charity and the trustees ensure compliance with this document.
## **Trustee and team leader recruitment and appointment**
The trustees and team leaders are elected annually at the Annual General Meeting (or at an Extraordinary General Meeting, EGM). The only trustee change in this period has been for the treasurer role. Circumstances required the current treasurer to step down and an EGM was held in January 2025 to elect a new person to this role.

## **Achievements and performance**
By putting on a range of shows/concerts we have raised the profile of musical theatre in the local area and educated our members / audiences in the history of Musical Theatre by performing a range of songs from different eras. We are proud of the quality of our productions and the joy that our community brings to our members.
5
In addition to this, we have actively promoted youth participation - indeed our youth section is growing in strength. Our young people now play an important part in the planning for our society and we have two Youth Reps on the committee to ensure their voice is heard. Youth participation in all productions is encouraged (with age limits varying depending on the nature and content of the show) and the Summer Youth show (this year, The Wizard of Oz) has a significant focus on training and educating our younger members in acting, movement and stage craft.
We perform in a number of venues - with smaller venues meaning we can charge lower ticket prices to make our shows more accessible. We also have a firm base of older audience members and our smaller venues are closer to them and easily accessible.
We are actively training key volunteers in supporting ASN Youth Members and are ensuring that rehearsals and performances are tailored to those with ASD or ADHD. In this way we have supported
6
three members with sensory needs to take part in drama activities at a level which they have not felt able to reach with other companies.
SABOS members have worked hard to raise essential funds, which have allowed the activities of the charity to continue. These have included a movie night, carol singing at the local Morrisons, Spring Fayres, a dance workshop and quiz nights. Some of this fundraising has been done in partnership with other local charities - meaning that a percentage of what we raised also went to local foodbanks.

## **Future plans**
In 2025-26 season we will be putting on a number of shows -
July 2025 - Matilda Jr (starring our under-18’s and led by our adult member volunteers)
September 2025 - No Doubt! At the Dell’Amore (another original play written by one of our members)
December 2025 - A Christmas Mystery (starring our under-18’s and written/led by our adult member volunteers)
March 2026 - Come From Away
Throughout these shows we will continue to…
- Educate our members and audiences in the value of musical theatre as an art form and a way of building community and supporting mental health through the joy of performance/music.
- Provide a wide range of opportunities for our members to learn different skills in stagecraft (performing, directing, choreographing, stage managing, writing, sound/lighting design, etc). Not only does this improve our members' knowledge/skills but it also raises their confidence and resilience.
- Raise awareness of diversity in all its forms and ensure our members are sensitively supported with any additional emotional/sensory needs.
- Raise awareness and funds for other local charities and organisations (specifically Start Up Stirling and Stirling Pride).
