Financial Review

==> picture [452 x 527] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 Subscriptions from choir members (and the
financial position at the end associated gift aid) generated gross income
of the period of £35,338. This compares with total
expenditure of £35,753. The £415 deficit
for the financial year was a little better than
our expectation, owing to a continued
growth in the choir’s membership and high
ticket sales at the March and December
concerts.
The deficit has been deducted from
reserves and the resulting balance carried
forward.
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 The charity holds reserves to cover its
policy for holding reserves working capital needs and to protect
stating why they are held against shortfalls in income. The trustees’
policy is to maintain a level of reserves that
they consider to be sufficient to ensure the
on-going security of the charity. All of the
charity’s reserves are classified as
unrestricted.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Reserves of £34,545 were brought forward
as at 1 January 2024, less the deficit of
£415 for the 2024 financial year.
The reserves balance brought forward
included £3,559 raised originally to cover
the costs of the centenary concert. This
amount was used during 2024 to partly
cover the costs of hiring an orchestra for
the March 2024 concert.
At the end of 2024, the charity held
reserves of £34,130, this amount
representing 14 months’ of expenditure.

The majority of the amount in this reserve (which stood at £3,559 at the start of the year) came from fundraising and grants with other amounts transferred into and out of the Centenary Concert Reserve by committee resolution.
