Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From 1 August 2023 To 31 July 2024
Charity name: Thame Chamber Choir
Charity registration number: 1091186
Objectives and Activities
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
The purposes of Thame Chamber Choir are to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the art and science of choral music in all its aspects, including by the presentation of public performances. The overall goal of the choir is to learn, perform in public and to improve our performances, individually and as a choir, within an environment of enjoyment. |
|---|---|
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
The choir rehearses a wide range of imaginatively- programmed music for public performance in at least 4 concerts each season, including a Christmas matinee as well as an evening concert. The range of music is intended both to challenge and develop choir members’ musical and technical skills (both in the adult choir and the children’s choir), and to entertain and develop the musical appreciation of our audiences. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. In pursuing our aims for the public benefit, the choir believes it impacts on people's lives in three ways. 1. For participants of all ages, we involve people in a creative, enjoyable and fulfilling educational activity, providing them with opportunity to develop vocal technique and musical repertoire. 2. For audiences, we present exciting, innovative and high quality performances should be enjoyable, but which will sometimes challenge and educate them by extending their musical knowledge. 3. For children and young people, our children’s choir offers the opportunity for a musical education In addition to the public educational benefits to participants and audiences mentioned above, we are conscious that our activities must be affordable. We continue to offer free membership to the under 25s, and any other member with financial difficulties can privately discuss a special reduced subscription arrangement with the Treasurer. We offer reduced or no fees to make the children’s choir accessible to all. Concert tickets are free to children under 18. |

Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
In the season 2023-24 Thame Chamber Choir performed in a wide of concerts, from October’s showcase for young soloists from Lord Williams’s School, to the summer’s In Paradisum concert with a former children’s choir member as professional soloist in Exeter College, Oxford. In between there was great momentum around fundraising for the Wonders of Venice concert with the renowned English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble. This was by far the most expensive concert the choir has staged in the past 5 years, and it is significant to note that the choir ended the season with a healthier bank balance than at the start. Many people’s hard work on applications for sponsorship and grants and generous donations contributed to this, along with the efforts to publicise concerts, sell tickets, bake, and pay to eat cake throughout the season. Across the season this has all been good for our audience, good musically, and good for choir members. The children’s choir TCC2 has also had a lot of engagements during the year and the relatively young current group have done well. |
