REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
The report of the trustees also incorporates a directors' report as required by company law. |
Objectives and activities |
Objectives and aims |
The objects of the charity are to produce theatre productions for young people. The charity will also tour productions regionally, nationally and internationally to broaden its audience base. |
The charity believes that children and young people deserve to experience theatre of the same high artistic standard and aesthetic value as theatre aimed at adults, by creating high quality theatre that is powerful, inspiring and relevant to all ages, bringing to life authentic stories of ordinary people who achieve extraordinary things. |
Its aims are to: |
- | Inspire by producing bilingual theatre that captivates the minds and imaginations of audiences across Wales and beyond. |
- | Invest by being a resilient and innovative company who are positioned to lead in the promotion and celebration of home-grown talent, showing the best the creative industry in Wales has to offer. |
- | Influence by creating theatre that has a purpose and reflects the evolving nature of our society. |
By achieving these aims the organisation makes it a vital component in the arts sector in its region and in Wales. |
Significant activities |
The charity's main objectives continued to be the promotion of theatre for young people in our local area but with an intention to tour productions to a variety of age groups and beyond our traditional area. Four key areas were identified for specific attention: |
- | to raise the charity's profile locally and nationally; |
- | to increase production and performance weeks; |
- | to promote our touring productions in Wales and the UK; |
- | to allocate a percentage of funds for research and development on future productions. |
Strategies for achieving the aims and objectives are through the artistic plan which is openly consulted with stakeholders, which informs the charity's activities. |
The charity measures its success through audience numbers and participants. It also regards critical appraisal from peer groups and funders. |
Significant activities undertaken in this financial year were 3 productions, with a fourth production in pre-production. The charity broadened its reach to new areas in Wales with its new initiative Goleufa/Beacon which will see its annual autumn production perform at Theatr Brycheiniog, enhancing accessibility for young audiences in Powys and produced and performed the Welsh language Consortiwm project which presents Welsh language theatre to the Valleys of South Wales. |

Objectives and activities |
Public benefit |
The trustees of the charity are committed to providing a public benefit, and have taken into account the Charity Commission's guidance in this area. |
For the many members of our audiences who come from deprived communities, Theatr Na N'og's ethos has always been to inspire and encourage ambition and aspiration, to believe in oneself and dare to dream. This is what makes our work so effective at igniting young imaginations and appealing to people from all backgrounds. |
Through our expertise in working with both schools and theatre venues, we have developed a unique understanding of how to bridge the gap between the generations, in order to achieve a truly shared experience. |
Volunteers |
The charity also recognises the significance of volunteers for our activities. The creative associates and volunteers for specific events. They also contribute to the discussion on policies and strategies to engage with the wider community and under-represented groups in the sector and society. |

Achievement and performance |
Charitable activities |
Since the pandemic the organisation had began to offer an ambitious programme of work building on its commitment to its audiences and collaborators: |
- | Support teachers & young people |
- | The network of freelance professionals |
- | Venues in Wales |
However, the opportunity for further investment from the Arts Council of Wales did not materialise and the cost of living crisis exacerbated an under-invested sector creating further challenges for the charity. |
In the midst of these challenges the organisation continued its commitment to their audiences. |
Just Jump |
A revival of the award-winning production commissioned by Cardiff Harbour Authority, Associated British Ports and Culture Step by Arts and Business Cymru. The production was performed at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff to 877 children in both Welsh and English. The success of this collaboration has led to further funding from the partners for the next year. |
The Butterfly Hunter / Heliwr Pili Pala |
The company's annual school production at the Dylan Thomas Theatre in Swansea was presented in the Autumn. The project had an additional week at Theatr Brycheiniog as a result of the successful pilot project in 2022. 4,861 children saw the production. With a total audience of 5,437. |
Y Fenyw Mewn Du |
The second production for the Consortiwm Cymraeg. A Welsh translation of the successful West End show, toured to the partner venues and a new partner the Borough Theatre in Abergavenny. We performed to 658 people. |
Operation Julie Tour |
Pre-production for the highly successful summer co-production with Aberystwyth Arts Centre, telling the story of the famous police operation that took place in West Wales in 1975-1977 which managed to undercover, at the time, the world's largest LSD manufacturer. This original play with a 70's prog-rock soundtrack will tell the incredible story of Operation Julie. |
The production will tour to Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Theatr Brycheiniog, The Lyric Carmarthen, Pontio Bangor and The Riverfront Arts Centre, Crewe Lyceum and The Wyvern at Swindon. |
Other |
The organisation performed to 13,987 people in this financial year an increase of 23% on last years figures. |
The organisation has maintained its main funder - the Arts Council of Wales and was been successful in achieving funding for its production of Operation Julie. In addition to the core grants, further grant funding was awarded of £201,980 (2023; £102,484) together with donations totalling £74 (2023; £24) received from the public. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |

Financial review |
Financial position |
The charity continues to review its income base and cost base, with a view to conserving resources. During this financial period, resources have increased in line with budgetary forecasts. Reserves remain at a satisfactory level. |
The charity has seen an increase in material costs and in travel and accommodation costs directly impacting on production costs of the organisation. Energy costs have also risen and this has also impacted on the core funds of the organisation. |
Certain factors which could affect future financial performance will be the increased costs of transporting audiences to the charity's performances, particularly school children, which could potentially result in fewer audience numbers and income. |
Total incoming resources for the year amounted to £612,579 (2023; £616,018). Resources expended amount to £583,126 (2023; £582,217). The net surplus for the year is £29,453 (2023; £33,801). |
The net reserves at the balance sheet date are £536,851 (2023; £507,398) of general funds. |
Principal funding sources |
The charity has maintained its annual revenue funding from the Arts Council of Wales, with a decrease in the level of funding next year. |
Investment policy and objectives |
The trustees consider the most appropriate policy for investing surplus funds is in short term deposit accounts to maintain cashflow liquidity. |
Reserves policy |
Theatr Na N'og has set the following policy in order to see out its short-term commitments in the event of loss of income or other financial crisis. |
A minimum of £125,000 has been set to cover the costs and outstanding debt following loss of all income and resources. The charity has fixed assets including ownership of Units 3 and 4 Milland Road Industrial Estate. The net book value is detailed in the annual accounts; it is noted that the net book value is lower than the market value. Further to these, the charity aims to hold at any one time at least 3 months of operating reserves to cover any immediate loss of income. |
Going concern |
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. |

Future plans |
Operation Julie Tour |

Just Jump |
A revival of our award-winning production commissioned by Cardiff Harbour Authority, with additional funding from two business partners and Culture Step by Arts and Business Cymru. The production will be performed once again at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff and will also be performed in Milford Haven in collaboration with Milford Haven Port Authority. |
The Fight |
A new play will be premiered to schools as part of the company's annual school production at the Dylan Thomas Theatre in Swansea to be presented in the Autumn. The project will also be performed at Theatr Brycheiniog as part of the development of their ongoing collaboration. |
Structure, governance and management |
Governing document |
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
Charity constitution |
Theatr Na N'og is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. It was established in 1984 to promote and advance artistic education and the public appreciation of the arts. These objects are set out in its governing instrument which is its Memorandum and Articles of Association. |
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
Under the terms of the Articles of Association, there is no maximum to the number of board members but there should be a minimum of four. All members will serve an initial term of three years. At an annual general meeting retiring members can be re-elected for a second term of three years. |
Vacant positions are advertised and a short list are interviewed for each post. Trustees are then chosen for the specific skills that they will bring to the Board. |
Organisational structure |
The governing body is the board of trustees whose members are non-executive and unpaid. The board meets bi-monthly and covers areas such as artistic development, diversity, membership and finance. |
An artistic director is appointed by the trustees to manage the day to day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the artistic director has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and artistic performance related activity. |
THEATR NA N'OG (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01856580) |
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
Structure, governance and management |
Induction and training of new trustees |
All new trustees are required to attend an induction and orientation day to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are also encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role. |
Key management remuneration |
The trustees consider that the board of trustees and the artistic director comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing, controlling, running and operating the charity. The trustees delegate the day to day running of the organisation to the artistic director. All trustees give their time freely and no trustee received |
remuneration during the year. |
The pay of senior staff who are not trustees is set at industry approved levels, reviewed annually and benchmarked against comparable organisations run on a voluntary basis. The remuneration benchmark is generally the mid-point of the range paid for equivalent roles in similar organisations. |
Related parties |
The charity has key relationships with the Arts Council of Wales and agrees specific annual targets and objectives. |
Partnerships |
Theatr Na N'og continues to collaborate with a wide range of partners and fosters positive and meaningful relationships for the future. This promotes and presents an exciting collection of productions catering for the surrounding community and beyond. |
This year the company has developed close working relationships with: |
The Welfare Ystradgynlais, Awen Trust, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Dylan Thomas Theatre, Theatre Soar, Swansea Museum, National Waterfront Museum, National Museum Wales, Swansea University and Technocamps. |
Theatr Na N'og has an excellent relationship with local schools. Its ambition to develop relationships with schools nationwide to replicate the very successful model in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend has been realised and will expand further in 2025. |
Risk management |
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The trustees risk management strategy comprises: |
· an annual review of the risks the charity may face; |
· the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan; and |
· the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks |
materialise. |
This work has identified new risks and has resulted in better emergency procedures and contingency plans and has given the impetus for better planning. A key element in the management of financial risk is the setting of a reserves policy and its regular review by trustees. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 |
1. | Statutory information |
Theatr Na N'og is a private company, limited by guarantee without share capital, registered in England and Wales. The registered office address can be found in the report of the trustees. |
2. | Accounting policies |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. |
Going concern |
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have assessed whether there are significant doubts about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. In a difficult trading environment for charities, Theatr Na N'og has always been reliant on public funding. The trustees will only commit to productions if they know that such funding is available. This policy is underpinned by available reserves. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
Donations and voluntary income are accounted for when receivable. |
The charity receives government grants in respect of furthering its charitable objectives. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met, then these amounts are deferred. |
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. |
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Allocation and apportionment of costs |
Costs are allocated between direct charitable and support expenditure according to the nature of the cost. Where items involve more than one category they are apportioned between the categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |

Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |

Cash at bank and in hand |
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account and that are subject to an insignificant risk to changes in value. |
Creditors and provisions |
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
