Policies and objectives** The objective of the Trust is the advancement of education in all branches of music including the provision of educational grants to assist with the funding of postgraduate music studies. Assistance is also given with musical instrument purchases by means of interest-free loans and the Trust provides concert sponsorship through its Recital Scheme. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. ## **b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives** The Trust’s achievements and performance are part of an annual cycle of events: receipt of online applications, consideration, and selection of applicants for audition, auditioning and then granting of awards or instrument purchase loans. This is followed by selection of young artists for the Recital Scheme and the preparation and communication of an online Recital Scheme Brochure and the administration of the Scheme. Students seeking to renew their awards for a second year are required to submit fresh applications and must reaudition before renewal of their grant can be approved. They are required to show evidence of satisfactory progress since the first award was made. The Trustees meet in the autumn to discuss future policy and consider any improvements which might enhance the Trust’s performance and achievements. The Stephen Oliver Award is made biennially. The adjudication of the 2021 award took place during the year to 31 August 2021 but the funds were paid over in 2 instalments during the course of the year to 31 August 2022. The adjudication of the next award will be in 2023. The investment portfolio and its management provide the key source of funds necessary to carry on the Trust’s activities. The Trust also receives a number of donations. Page 2 **THE COUNTESS OF MUNSTER MUSICAL TRUST** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022** ## **Achievements and performance** ## **a. Review of activities** In 2021/22 the Trustees continued to award sums to facilitate advanced study for applicants who, in their view, were expected to make the most significant contributions in their musical careers. In consequence, in 2022, 74 awards (2021: 74) for advanced training in musical education were made although two of these awards were subsequently surrendered by the beneficiaries and an additional two scholarships were made: the total amount committed after award surrenders and alterations was £219,120. The Trust’s Recital Scheme, through which some of the Trust’s outstanding beneficiaries are offered sponsorship for concerts and recitals nationwide, picked up with energy following the devastating time during the Pandemic. The Trust supported …94.. concerts that took place between September 2021 and August 2022. Total expenditure in the year to August 2022 amounted to £40,390 (2021: £43,080) and income to £9,000 (2021: £3,030). The 2021 Stephen Oliver Award was paid during the current year to the composer Tom Floyd. Adjudication of the next award will take place in 2023. During the year, the Trustees agreed to continue the support for the collaborative project established with the London Schools Symphony Orchestra, providing funding for a number of young musicians attending the LSSO courses and tour. The funds, of which £5,000 has already been committed, will be used to provide further scholarships in 2021 and 2022. The Trustees also agreed to continue to support the collaborative project with the charity Trust Music and the Bolton Music Service: An amout of £5,000 provided a funded programme of music tuition, ensemble work and music accreditation to selected school children in the Bolton area to help break down barriers to participation. In addition, the Trust continues to contribute to a bursary fund at King Edward’s School Witley (where the Trust offices were located): The amount of £2,500 was to enable students who would otherwise not be able to afford individual music education to continue their musical studies After investment revaluations and investment asset disposals to fund awards and expenses, the net movement in funds on the Statement of Financial Activities was a reduction of -£320,167 (2021: increase in funds £629,397). At the end of the year the total sum outstanding on the instrument loans was £97,098 (2021: £100,414). The total unrestricted funds as at 31 August 2022 were £8,755,966 (2021: £9,076,133) and restricted funds were £nil (2021: £nil). ## **b. Investment policy and performance** In the year to 31 August 2022, Veritas Asset Management LLP, Aviva Investors and Legal & General Investment Management continued to act as investment managers to the Trust. During the year the Trustees also set up an investment managed by Savills Investment Management (UK) Limited. The investment fund managed by Morgan Stanley & Co International PLC was drawn to a close in December 2021. The Trustees consider the overall performance of the investment portfolio in recent years to have been satisfactory. They review the portfolio allocation and consult with the investment managers on a regular basis. Most of the Trust’s assets are invested via open-ended investment companies. Page 3 **THE COUNTESS OF MUNSTER MUSICAL TRUST** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022** ## **Financial review** ## **a. Going concern** After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. ## **b. Reserves policy** The Trustees seek as much as possible to maintain the real value of the Trust's capital over the long-term, but may pay awards in excess of the cumulative real growth of the Trust's assets if necessary for supporting musicians at a level commensurate with the dedication of resources to candidate selection and administration. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **a. Constitution** The Countess of Munster Musical Trust is a registered charity, number 1031783. The Trust was established by a Trust Deed dated 1st December 1958 and further deeds dated 19th September 1960, 29th March 1961 and 17th February 1994 through which funds were settled upon it by Hilary, Countess of Munster. The Trust derives its income from these invested funds and from bank interest. ## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees** The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed. ## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies** The Board of Trustees met 13 times during the year in pursuance of the Trust’s objectives as well as an annual meeting of the Nominations Committee. The constitution of the Trust currently provides for a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen Trustees. New Trustees are selected according to the skills, knowledge and experience required by the Board. Recruitment is usually made on the basis of personal recommendation and the recruitment arrangements from 2019 involve a Nominations Committee. Trustees are invited to discuss the requirements for a new Trustee as set out by the Nominations Committee and to suggest potential candidates. The Chairman or a nominated Trustee holds initial meetings with one or more candidates and then reports back to the Trustees before a final appointment is made. In the case of appointments after 5th September 2019, appointments are subject to a fixed term of four years with the possibility of re-appointment for a further term. The induction process of any new Trustee comprises a full introduction to the background and current activities of the Trust, and to their responsibilities as a Trustee. The Trustees in office during the period are shown on page 1. ## **d. Financial risk management** The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The sub-committee of Trustees who oversee the ongoing management of the Trust’s investments corresponded as necessary and reported periodically to the full Board of Trustees.

Page 8 ## **THE COUNTESS OF MUNSTER MUSICAL TRUST** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022** ## **1. General information** The Countess of Munster Musical Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales. The registered charity number is 1031783. ## **2. Accounting policies** ## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The Countess of Munster Musical Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. ## **2.2 Income** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. Page 9 **THE COUNTESS OF MUNSTER MUSICAL TRUST** **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022** ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **2.3 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. Recital scheme expenditure is payable at the discretion of the Trustees. The scheme currently involves a fixed performance fee per concert payable to the young musicians chosen to participate on the scheme. The number of concerts that the participant may accept under the scheme in any year is fixed from time to time by the Trustees. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. ## **2.4 Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. ## **2.5 Investments** Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities. ## **2.6 Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **2.7 Cash at bank and in hand** Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Page 10 **THE COUNTESS OF MUNSTER MUSICAL TRUST** **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022** ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **2.8 Liabilities and provisions** Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. ## **2.9 Financial instruments** The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## **2.10 Pensions** The charity contributes to defined contribution pension schemes in respect of its employees and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to those funds in respect of the year. ## **2.11 Fund accounting** General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
