**WEST WIGHT ARTS ASSOCIATION – CHARITY NUMBER 1081794**
## **WWAA TREASURER’S REPORT, YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025**
## **Preamble**
The 2024-25 season has been a remarkable success, with all but one of the season’s concerts sold out. Audiences have been treated to well-chosen and superbly performed repertoire and artists to enthusiastic and respectful audiences.
Carefully husbanded reserves and increased revenue has made it possible to increase our charitable spending. Once again we have paid for music teachers in local schools and we made a significant donation to the Young Classical Artist’s Trust (YCAT), which has provided us with so many talented young musicians over the years.
## **State of finances**
Good ticket sales and increased savings account interest have given us very healthy income. However, our donation to YCAT means that we record a net deficit of £2,930 this year, but our cash assets remain very strong at £70,879.
## **Comments**
## _Expenditure_
There was no bursary this year, but we provided £2,400 to fund a recorder teacher for one term and a brass teacher for two terms in local schools. In addition we paid £5,000 to YCAT.
## _Income_
Season ticket sales of £12,847 and single ticket sales of £12,644 were very satisfactory. Donations of £2,441.44 were down compared with the previous year.
## _Reserves_
Our reserves were critical in enabling us to pay contracted artists who were prevented from performing during Covid lockdowns. They continue to provide a valuable resource in helping to fund our charitable work.
## **The Future**
A steady increase in costs is noticeable, but we will not change ticket prices for the coming year.

In planning our activities for the year the Trustees declare that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 1. Arranging the annual series of concerts (usually 8 per year) with young professional musicians held in Freshwater Memorial Hall. 2. Ensuring sufficient funding for the continued good health of the **Summary of the main** Association's Steinway grand piano purchased nearly 30 years ago **activities undertaken for the** with the help of lottery funding. Without this exceptional instrument **public benefit in relation to** the Association would be less likely to attract performers of the **these objects (include within** highest quality, so necessary to the continued success of the **this section the statutory** charity. **declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance** 3.

With the Isle of Wight Music Hub, we funded brass instrument
4. With the Isle of Wight Music Hub, we funded brass instrument classes in a local Totland primary school (St Saviour’s) commencing in September 2024 and running for the full academic year. The funding was £2,400. 5. Representing the Charity and its charitable objects at local events where appropriate and liaising with other music charities on the island.
## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
In reviewing the level of the Association's reserves, careful consideration was given to retaining sufficient funds to enable the Association to fulfil its functions and charitable aims without creating an unrealistic surplus. Following the covid pandemic, the Trustees have been cautious about reducing reserves too much. However, they have been actively helping local schools with the provision of music tuition for the benefit of local schoolchildren and helping with the provision of instruments and with teaching in classes and /or workshops.
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
The Charity is aiming to continue to provide funding for a musical instrument teacher for year 3 or 4 at a local primary school for a further year.
This is in addition to the biennial bursaries given to island children and the concerts organised during the year for the general public.
None of the activities would be possible without the sterling work contributed by the Association’s Trustees, all of whom work tirelessly to keep up the very high standard of music making for which the Association has gained an enviable reputation over the years. This enables us to keep concert ticket prices at a reasonable level so that audiences know they are getting value for money.
The bursary scheme and the associations recent initiatives with local schools and schoolchildren fulfil a function which more and more falls to volunteer groups as government funding for music education shrinks year by year.

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)**
|You**may choose**to include
additional information, where
relevant about:
•
the charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising);
•
how expenditure has
supported the key objectives
of the charity;
•
investment policy and
objectives including any
ethical investment policy
adopted.|The principal source of funding is through the sale of tickets for our
concerts. This is generally sufficient to cover all relevant costs.
An important secondary source is donations from our regular
concertgoers.
We normally undertake no fund raising exercises and rely on the
generosity of a number of regular concertgoers as well as others who
make small donations from time to time.
We budget so that we record a big enough surplus each year to fund the
biennial bursary and also the provision of musical instrument teaching in
local schools referred to above plus any further charitable initiatives we
may be considering.|
