LINCOLN CATHEDRAL MUSIC FUND Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2024
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Music Fund is a registered charity governed by a Trust Deed dated 28 January 1994, subject to a Deed of Variation dated 26 February 2002, to include girl as well as boy choristers. The charity further amended its Trust Deed on 31 December 2020 to remove “… South Humberside” as a geographical area of benefit within the objectives, as it no longer exists, and amend to “… North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire” and to provide for two additional exofficio trustees.
The body of Trustees shall consist, when complete, of six ex officio trustees:
-
The Dean of Lincoln
-
The Precentor of Lincoln
-
The Chancellor of Lincoln
-
The Subdean of Lincoln
-
The Chair of the Lincoln Cathedral Music Council; and
-
• The Vice-Chair of the Lincoln Cathedral Music Council.
At its meeting of 5 December 2023 the Trustees further resolved that the specific positions of Dean, Precentor, Chancellor and Subdean are replaced by ‘the Residentiary Canons, for the time being, of Lincoln Cathedral’ in line with organisational changes within the Cathedral Church, ensuring the Trust Deed remains contemporary and relevant.
Day to day management of the Charity is delegated to the Lincoln Cathedral Music Council.
Governance
The Trustees shall hold at least two ordinary meetings in each year. The Trustees are elected at special meetings with no less than 21 days notice being given to the current Trustees. Every matter is determined by a majority of votes of the Trustees present at the meeting.
Policies
The policy agreed with respect to the release of capital to the Cathedral unrestricted fund is as follows:
-
a) 3% of the capital value of the fund at the start of the financial year;
-
b) Equivalent cost of five choral scholars; and,
-
c) 50% of the net income of the fund during the year, excluding investment income and after the funding of up to five choral scholars.
The Investment Policy of the Trustees seeks to produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. The investment objective for long term reserves is to generate a return in excess of inflation over the long term whilst generating an income to support the ongoing activities of the charity. In this way, income generation should continue to be sustainable in perpetuity. The investment object for short term reserves is to preserve capital value with minimal levels of risk, ensuring high liquidity of assets in order to meet short term cash flow needs.
During the year, it was agreed that the investment assets of the charity were to be divided between two fund managers to further diversify the portfolio and reduce counter-party risk. This was actioned during March 2024.
Risk management
The Trustees continue to monitor the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and keep under review the adequacy of systems, which they believe, are adequate and appropriate to the size of the charity and the nature of its operations. Particular to financial controls, the accounts are scrutinised by the Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Finance Committee.

LINCOLN CATHEDRAL MUSIC FUND
Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
Objectives and Activities
To advance the education of the public in the art of liturgical and other music, both choral and instrumental at Lincoln Cathedral.
The Music Fund aims to create a permanent music foundation to support the Lincoln Cathedral Choir, organists and organ for the benefit of future generations.
The Trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commission for England and Wales’ guidance on public benefit when planning its aims and objectives.
Strategies
Raising funds to support the cost of the Lincoln Cathedral music department and maintenance of the Cathedral’s organs via annual giving, one-off donations, ticketed events, trust applications and legacies as well as raising the profile of Lincoln Cathedral and its choirs through media coverage and engagement activities.
Achievements and Performance
The Music Fund Council has delivered a series of highly successful events during the year. Highlights included a Musical Meander at Aubourn Hall, the choristers’ performance of Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols and a bridge day with Andrew Robson at Stubton Hall. The programme was well received and almost £10,000 was raised.
Throughout the year, the opportunity to play Lincoln Cathedral’s famous Father Willis organ also continued to be offered, with five guests having experienced the unique offer to pay-to-play.
Sponsorship of the cathedral choristers continues to be generously supported and there were some exceptional legacy receipts in the year. Of particular note, £25,000 was received specifically for the conservation of the Father Willis Organ.
The continued support and giving of individuals and trusts is gratefully received and we remain dedicated to supporting the delivery and development of Lincoln Cathedral’s exceptional musical talents for the enjoyment and spiritual experience of all.
Administrative Structure
The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln (hereafter referred to as Lincoln Cathedral) has agreed to provide administrative support to the Trustees at no charge.
Financial Review
Total income during the year amounted to £219,184 (2023: £452,948) and £129,091 (2023: £131,060) of this was released to Lincoln Cathedral to help toward the annual costs of choir and organists.
Income sources remained consistent with prior periods, with generous support from individual giving and an increase in grants supporting choristers. There have been three main fundraising events this year, all well attended, raising a net contribution of £9,864 (2023: £15,585). Legacy receipts were exceptionally high in the prior year and the charity has received further legacies in the current period totalling £35,047 (2023: £271,448).
Investments have shown significant recovery in the period both in respect to income and capital value, which has recovered by £94,144 following last year’s £150,286 fall in value.
The Trust continued to support the work of the Cathedral’s musical provision during the period in line with the policy outlined on Page 2. The Choral Scholar contribution increased on the prior period to £43,759 (2023: £32,869) reflecting the return to a full cohort of five choral scholars during the period.

LINCOLN CATHEDRAL MUSIC FUND
Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
Reserves policy:
At 31 March 2024, the value of total funds is £3.06m (2023: £2.9m). The funds comprise an endowment of £277,833 (2023: £261,468) a restricted fund of £26,000 (2023: £1,000) and unrestricted funds of £2,754,239 (2023: £2,622,151).
In view of the long-term nature of the charity's objective aim to create a permanent music foundation to support the Lincoln Cathedral Choir, organists and organ for the benefit of future generations, the Trustees intend to build reserves each financial year. The Trustees have elected to hold the majority reserves as investments, operating as a de facto endowment, to ensure the future sustainability of income streams which fund the day-to-day activities of the broader charitable objectives.
The unrestricted funds are considered to be equivalent to the charity’s free reserves; these have increased on the prior year, in line with the reserves policy. Restricted funds, in respect to organ maintenance and conservation, will be drawn on over the next twelve months.
Plans for future periods
The charity remains committed to supporting the choir and organists of Lincoln Cathedral through financially contributing to annual costs and continuing to build a de-facto endowment to support future provision.
The method of distribution toward current year music costs has been reviewed for future periods. It was agreed that the distribution to Lincoln Cathedral would be maximised each year, matching fundraising efforts, in recognition of the current economic climate and needs of the choir. As such, the historic ‘formula’ (Policies, Pg2) has been replaced by an annually agreed fixed contribution. This has been agreed as £150,000 in year one and will be reviewed each year. The Music Fund will continue to ring-fence legacy receipts and take care to retain investment gains to support future stewardship, in line with our objectives.
The fundraising social calendar will continue in the next financial period with a number of musical fundraising events planned; these include the much loved Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols and the Andrew Robson Bridge Day.
Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102)
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. 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.

LINCOLN CATHEDRAL MUSIC FUND Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(a) Entity Status
The Trust is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales.
(b) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Fair value movements are dealt with through the Statement of Financial Activities. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
(c) Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In view of the level of assets held and the charity’s full discretion in respect to charitable giving, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
(d) Income
All income is included gross in the Statement of Financial Activities on the following bases:
-
Legacies are included when probate has been granted, it becomes probable that the legacy will be received and that the value of the incoming resources can be measured reliably.
-
Donations, gift aid, covenants and grants are included when they become receivable.
-
Income Tax claims are included as recoverable.
-
Bank interest and investment income are included when they become due.
(e) Expenditure
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities as soon as it is incurred.
Governance costs comprise the annual accountancy charges as well as the costs of running the charity i.e. Trustee meetings.
(f) Tangible fixed assets
Purchases of equipment are written-off in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year of purchase.

LINCOLN CATHEDRAL MUSIC FUND Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(g) Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Sch. 6, para. 1 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charity for UK income tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Income Tax Act 2007, Part 10 s521 – s537 or s. 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes
(h) Investments
These are investments held in the UK and are included in the balance sheet at market value (Note 6), with realised and unrealised gains and losses included in the Statement of Financial Activities.
(i) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
(j) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-time highly liquid investments.
(k) Creditors
Creditors 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 estimate reliably.
(l) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are those given to further the charity’s purposes, applied at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted and endowment funds are subject to restrictions placed by the donor for specific projects or activities.
(m) Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charitable entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any transaction costs.
(n) Critical accounting estimates and areas around judgement
The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
