ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Significant activities
Principal Activites During 2024 The usual start to the year with our pantomime Dick Whittington which as always brought in a massive revenue for the theatre. The youth section Bytes has continued to be stable, but unfortunately the Bests Group had to close due to ill health of the leader and we were unable to find a replacement.However a new group on a Saturday afternoon has been formed AATS which is for a 13 to 18 year group which also covers work on the technical side. Bytes did a show Treasure Island. We carried out 2 Adult shows this year a very success musical 'The Adamms Family' and our play this year was 'Open all Hours' both of which were well received with the Adamms family breaking our box office record for a musical. Our professional shows in 2024 have been: Abba ReunionFlash Queen TributeForbidden NightsNavi King of popMaetlivePhysic SallyRio GoldRoy Orbison and Travelling Wilburies TributeSean Ruane with Rossendale Male Voice ChoirShowaddywaddyStacksteads Brass BandThe DriftersThe JerseysThe Upbeat Beatles We also had theatre Hire from Xrays and Fusion Dance company. We have had a few acts cancel due to poor ticket sales, but these do seem to be picking up slightly as the year progressed.As usual we are looking to not spend unnecessarily only on essential items. We continue to provide a range of volunteering opportunities in a wide range of areas for the local community and are actively looking to increase our numbers. |

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
Responsibilities and basis of report |
As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. |
Independent examiners statement |
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination |
giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: |
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or |
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
3. the accounts do not comply with the requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the |
accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or |
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended |
Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the |
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). |
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be |
drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. |
