Trustees as recorded on the Charity Commission register. For a charitable company the trustees are normally also its Companies House directors, so this list and the Directors & officers list below should broadly agree — a large discrepancy is worth asking about.

Figures taken directly from the accounts ZEST THEATRE filed at Companies House for the financial year ending 31 Mar 2026, read from the machine-readable (iXBRL) tags in the filing itself. Smaller companies may file abridged accounts, so not every figure above will be present for every business. Always check the full filing before relying on these numbers.
