## **Goodwick Brass Band Trustees Report for the year ended 31st October 2020**
**Objectives.** The objectives of the Goodwick Brass Band are to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education of brass band music by:
a) the public performance of brass band music of the higher standard; b) the presentation of courses and public concerts;
- c) the tuition and development of players of brass band instruments irrespective of age, disability and ethnic background.
## **Trustees' Responsibilities.**
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis until it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to do so; - state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with SORP 2 (revised) and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under s130 of the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. **Review**
The band attended several engagements during the reporting period ranging from Concerts, Garden Fetes, Charity Events and Carnivals to Christmas Events. In line with the the governing documents a number of these engagements were carried out on a voluntary basis with no fee being charged.
The band has participated in a number of contests over the period and has achieved some outstanding results of late at both regional and national level.
There are number of achievements that have occurred in the reporting period; the band continues to thrive and we have achieved a steady influx of new members in both the main and youth band. The musical standard of all member of the band has progressed considerable in both young and old players.
The band continues to attract a large number of youngsters in joining the band. The continued influx of new members into the band is vitally important for the continued success of the band.
The band continues to expand on its musical abilities under the directorship of Mathew Jenkins; Mathew has built upon the band's past successes and has made a huge improvement to the standard of playing.
As with many organisations, we have been severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic that started in March 2020. All our normal activities were cancelled and we had to adapt to the Covid-19 restrictions, members continued to practice in isolation with online support from the MD's using Zoom. Practice material was collated and distributed to members. Even with the easing of restrictions, the social distancing aspects along with the uncertainty of the weather made things difficult. We were fortunate enough to secure Covid-19 funding which in the absence of any income from events and concerts allowed us to cover fixed outgoing costs and exceptional costs such as PPE.
It's antiicpated that banding activities will be slow to reocer following the pandemic and it's likely to be early 2022 before we return to some form of normality.
## **Financial Review**
The accounts show a surplus of £4,726 for the financial year 2019-20 compared to a surplus of £4,178 in the previous year. The cash postion remains strong at £26,198 at the year end (compared to £21,886 as at 31st October 2019).
## **Reserves Policy**
Reserves are split between Restricted and Unrestricted. Restricted reserves have been earmarked for specific purchases such as instrument purchase.
By order of the committee.
