ANNUAL REPORT 2022 - 2023 |
Executive Summary |
Alive & Kicking’s year in numbers |
2,268 children aged 3-11 enjoyed drama adventures and had fun becoming Stone Age medicine people, lighthouse engineers, Roman legionaries, island dwellers, rubbish pickers, fortune tellers... |
168 workshops were delivered in school halls and classrooms across Leeds and Bradford |
22 different projects from our portfolio were taken ‘on the road’, invoking journeys from Victorian workhouses to mythical Asgard, from the bottom of the bottom of the bottom of the sea and to the very tops of mountains, from a wild Hebridean island to ancient Egypt |
88 parents & family members joined sessions in Nurseries and in Leeds City Museum. |
8 actor/facilitators spent a total of 18,905 minutes working with children in schools and nurseries. |
108 pre-school children adventured with the residents of Sunshine Street to the depths of the Jungle, the frozen wastes of Antarctica, the tide lines of the Coast - and back safely home. |
7 schools booked multiple projects, 4 of them for every class in their school. |
12 schools in deprived areas enjoyed grant subsidised workshops, benefitting over 1,000 children. |
215 teachers & support staff joined in workshops with their classes. |
22 schools and nurseries and 1 museum booked A&K drama adventures. |
60 student teachers and 144 industry professionals enjoyed Alive & Kicking CPD. |
What children said |
I wanted to make my own volcano after. I liked walking like an astronaut. |
The best bit was making waves out of paper. We didn’t even need anything. Can you believe it? |
My favourite part was building the pyramid and eating the apple for lunch. |
What teachers said |
It was great to see children actively participating and using ambitious vocabulary in the process. |
A child who finds it hard to regulate really thrived in the session. |
I loved to see the negotiation whilst the children were trading, |
as I could see [them] reasoning their thoughts well. |
[all the] children were very engaged throughout: they were hooked into helping Frederick! |

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of |

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 2023. |
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. |
