## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025** 

## **Constitution** 

East Devon Music is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by its constitution dated 21 February 2020. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The principal objectives of the charity are to advance, promote and develop the arts for the people of Honiton and its surrounding district, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, to broaden the range of educational and community activities through the media of expressive and performing arts.  The principal activity of the charity is the presentation of high quality live music. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

We continued with our policy of restricting our activity to providing grants to other organisations providing live music in the Honiton area and East Devon generally.  These were Sidmouth Concert Society, the ISCA Ensemble, the Lympstone Music Festival and the Honiton Community Complex (The Beehive, Honiton).  Trustees attended several concerts. 

We intend for this policy to continue in 2025-26. 

## **Financial Review** 

Our total income for the year was £1,691 (2024 - £2,510) and our expenditure was £6,227 (2024 - £4,537).  Our accumulated cash funds for the year are £104,596 (2024 - £109,132).
