Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 July 2025

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 July 2025. 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The purposes of the charity is to advance the education of the public in all aspects of the dramatic art and the development of public appreciation such art by presentation of public theatre performances.

Over the last financial year, Simple 8 Theatre Company continued their relaunch of full-scale productions post-Covid. They have maintained strong relationships with partners, including Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton, Park Theatre London and Shoreditch Town Hall. The company produced a full-scale premiere of their new play The Land of the Free (formerly Sic Semper) about how John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln, to coincide with the US Presidential election in autumn 2024. It played at Southwark Playhouse in London, and the project spanned September - November 2024. The company fundraised throughout the year, including hosting an Evening With.... Dame Imelda Staunton.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Land of the Free

Successfully mounted a full-scale production at Southwark Playhouse. In total 35 performances, employing 14 practitioners, with 2,458 people seeing it live and over 100,000 engaged online.

Alongside a positive round of private fundraising we also used a successful grant from last year’s return from the De Haan Charitable Trust towards this activity.

The production was critically well-received:

- |  | "A deft investigation of a Presidential assassination.....it’s how the director Sebastian Armesto and co-writer Dudley Hinton wrap, unwrap, and reward that gift which enhances the material" The Guardian |

- |  | "A bold new production" The Strand Magazine |

- |  | "A clever piece of theatre" ReviewsHub |

Our audience development focused on offering affordable tickets at all venues with discounts for schools, those on low incomes, multi-generational families and young people. We had the very low average ticket price of £16.88. We also created free workshops for young practitioners. These were sent to drama schools/universities local to the venue, and/or with a specific lean towards American studies or students.

We offered adapted shows including captioned shows, and a Relaxed Performance, plus a Post Show Discussion with noted US Historian Adam Smith.

Our workforce had gender parity and our casting was representative of racial and physical diversity.

Achievements Against Objective Set

We succeeded in our aim of premiering a new play with a large cast and without ‘star’ casting.

However we were unable to sell the show as successfully as we would have hoped.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Amount of reserves held: negative reserve of £4,620 (2024 - £37,416).

The Charitable Company will operate with no cash reserves. The Trustees aim to maintain a sufficient balance to meet ongoing expenditure, but if required Members will cover the costs of subscriptions for website etc. There is no anticipated major expenditure for the following tax year as we have no productions planned.

Any major projects will be met from separate fundraising activities.

Funds in deficit

There was a loss for the year caused by lower than expected box office income. This loss was offset by higher than expected fundraising and a ‘creative tax credit’ that made the impact manageable. If required, any loss carried forward will be mitigated by writing off money owed to Company Members.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 July 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW

At 31 July 2025 the charitable company had free reserves of £(4,620). The net loss for the year was £42,036. This is compared to the reserves at the end of the previous year of £37,416 . There was a loss for the year caused by lower than expected box office income. This loss was offset by higher than expected fundraising and a ‘creative tax credit’ that made the impact manageable. Once our tax credit is received, we will repay our loan due to Timothy Bull and will have reserves of net zero. If required, any loss carried forward will be mitigated by writing off money owed to Company Members.

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) are:

Grants/donations/fundraising - £19,876

Productions/sales/royalties - £42,001

Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted:

The Charitable Company’s funds are held in an interest bearing current account with the Co-operative Bank. There are currently no funds held that will not be expended within the next twelve months so longer term investment funds are felt inappropriate by the Trustees.

A description of the principal risks facing the charity:

The principal two risks are the viability of productions (can sell tickets) and losing funding in the build up. However the company mitigate against these by maintaining very low admin costs, being run by volunteers and they adjust their work and budgets to suit unfolding events.

The Trustees review the major risks facing the Charitable Company at least once a year. We have a comprehensive health and safety review and a code of conduct and safeguarding policy.

FUTURE PLANS

In terms of future plans, because the current climate in the Arts is perilous, due to a lack of funding, struggle for audience and consequential fear of risk we are considering moth-balling the company until we have a clear direction in terms of projects to mount and an industry that can offer better support.We had a fundraising target for this production of £10,000 and our Evening With fundraising events and private donations we ended up exceeding that target with total funds raised of £17,200 excluding Gift Aid. As previously mentioned we also used a grant of £5,000 from the De Haan Charitable Trust towards this year’s activity, which is included in this figure.

As detailed in last year’s report we have felt that the current climate in the Arts is perilous, due to a lack of funding, struggle for audience and general fear of risk from theatre programmers.

In particular, over the last two productions, this year’s activity and Moby-Dick, we found that what has worked for us in the past - good reviews, a recognised aesthetic, story-centric drama, casting and marketing - are no longer enough to attract an audience larger enough to sustain the work.

Consequentially we have taken the heavy decision to moth-ball the company until we have a clear direction in terms of projects to mount and an industry that can offer better support.

All our infrastructure will remain in place and we intend to continue to pursue opportunities that will fulfil our purposes.

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.

The methods used to recruit and appoint new trustees, including details of any other person or external body entitled to appoint one or more trustees:

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Simple 8 Theatre Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- | observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

- | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of

Simple 8 Theatre Company

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Simple 8 Theatre Company ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you 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 as 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 examiner's 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:

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 accounting 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.
