Trustees' Report |
for the Year Ended 31 August 2022 |
ANNUAL REPORT 2021 - 2022 |
Executive Summary |
This year for Alive & Kicking has been strongly characterised by the joy of returning to ‘face to face’ work: from tentative first steps with schools last autumn, building through a compact but very busy Christmas tour (with only one Covid cancellation!), and on into the spring and summer terms with increasing confidence and ease. The company’s menu of workshops, which was necessarily limited during the thick of the pandemic, has expanded again as schools return to a demand for a wider range of projects. We have also been able to launch or re-launch ‘paused’ projects. The needs of children returning fully to school have become increasingly clear and we have worked with teachers to respond accordingly. |
We have: |
Inspired 2,081 children aged 4-11yrs during interactive drama and literacy workshops in schools. |
Entertained 2,731 children in Leeds Kirkgate Market, in school halls and in Leeds City Museum with interactive Christmas entertainments and summer holiday activity. |
Introduced 58 children aged 3-4yrs to creative play during a series of 15 visits and 9 video messages, giving them confidence, curiosity, and skills to be ‘school ready’. |
Engaged 547 supporting adults in schools and community settings through their children’s drama and literacy activities, performances and bespoke CPD sessions. |
Visited 22 schools and community settings. |
Delivered 164 workshops and performances. |
Worked with 15 local freelancers: 7 Creative Associates, 2 Design Associates and 2 Performers, in addition to our 2 Co-Creative Directors and 2 Business Associates. |
[S] doesn’t normally like being looked at, but he was given the role with a cape… so he could hide within it and be this character… he could express himself through this character and it was safer. (Year 3 Teacher, St Matthew’s Primary) |
The quality and volume of work they produced was testimony to the dramatic context created… It not only enabled the children to raise the bar of what they are capable of, but it was a huge source of pride. (Deputy Headteacher, Burley & Woodhead Primary) |
I was at Leeds Market with a family of asylum seekers. I had arranged to show them the Christmas lights but after we walked around for half an hour it became clear that without spending money there was very little to do for young children. When we realised you were doing a performance we were so happy!! It was truly wonderful and magical. We all loved it! Thanks so very much (Audience member) |
The class worked collaboratively with [him] to create their version of a very famous traditional tale. [They] were fizzing with creativity, enthusiasm and passion! (Year 2 Teacher, Barwick in Elmet Primary) |

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of |
Alive And Kicking Theatre Company |
Limited |
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Alive And Kicking Theatre Company Limited ('the Company') |
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2022. |
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. |
