financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The Society was the beneficiary of hugely
generous gifts from Nigel Blake and his
brother Stephen. Nigel, our much-loved
clarinettist for nearly 25 years and an ex-
Chairman, died in 2019 and left a legacy
gift (classed as designated funds), to which
Stephen added his own restricted gift
(classed as restricted funds). A fund was
created which will support special projects
over the coming decade, support young
artists and enable the commissioning of
new works. A fund management team has
been set up by the Committee to manage
the legacy and oversee how it is spent and
invested. The team includes Stephen and
Nigel’s friend and fellow former FSO
clarinettist Jonathan Walsh.
Despite having to cancel two of three
planned concerts, the Society is in a
stronger financial position at the end of the
period, having achieved an operational
surplus of £6,354 over the 12 months. This
was in part achieved due to the generosity
of the Society’s members and supporters,
who continued to pay their subscriptions or
donate refunds from cancelled tickets
during the periods when we could not
rehearse or perform.
The surplus in the year allowed the Society
to maintain its reserves and to be in a
sound financial position as we plan to get
back to rehearsing and performing as and
when CoVID-19 restrictions lift.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Our policy is to hold a reserve of £8,000 to
cover financial failure of an event (for
example, severely reduced audience
numbers) or the withdrawal of sponsorship
from Novotel who provide our rehearsal
space. Any additional surplus is retained for
use on future projects, the acquisition of
assets or other expenditure which the
trustees consider appropriate and in line
with the society’s objectives.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£ 26,953 (unrestricted funds)

The first, which will have a long and positive impact, was the hugely generous gifts from Nigel Blake and his brother Stephen. Nigel, our much-loved clarinettist for nearly 25 years and an ex-Chairman, died in 2019 and left a legacy gift (classed as designated funds), to which Stephen added his own restricted gift (classed as restricted funds). A fund was created which will support special projects over the coming decade, support young artists and enable the commissioning of new works. A fund management team has been set up by the Committee to manage the legacy and oversee how it is spent and invested. The team includes Stephen and Nigel’s friend and fellow former FSO clarinettist Jonathan Walsh. The second factor, which has hugely impacted the whole music community and wider society in 2020, was the COVID-19 pandemic. The orchestra was in final preparations for a concert planned for 21st March 2020 when it became clear that it could no longer go ahead for safety reasons, just ahead of the first national lockdown. Due to the prompt action taken by the Committee, it was possible to cancel the concert without incurring many of the costs, including hall hire, guest player fees and staging. Ticket refunds were offered, but many people who had bought tickets in advance kindly opted to either donate their ticket price to the orchestra (£410), or to Pancreatic Cancer UK (£524), which was the charity that we had planned to collect for during the concert in memory of Nigel Blake. With the income from Members subs and Friend donations, along with Gift Aid, the Spring term contributed £1,473 to the surplus. The pandemic prevented the orchestra meeting to rehearse for the Summer ’20 concert, which was also cancelled. Many Members and Friends of the orchestra kindly continued to pay subscription fees and donations during the term which, with very few costs incurred, contributed £2,850 to the surplus recorded in the accounts (including Gift Aid). Before the lockdown and other restrictions in 2020, the orchestra performed a successful concert in November 2019 which included Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra and a Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 with a particularly fine performance by the soloist Richard Uttley. Financially, the concert made a small contribution of £391 towards the surplus. Regarding other income, the Society was again successful in applying for a grant from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Interest income on the fund balance invested in a savings account contributed a further £537. The orchestra’s annual ‘Weekend Away’ in January (offsite rehearsals) was well attended. Associated income and expenses are recorded separately in the accounts. The net impact of these events to the Society accounts is zero. The Society benefits from a contribution to costs that its trading subsidiary, Fulham Symphony Orchestra Limited (FSO Ltd), is able to make through being able to claim Orchestra Tax Relief (OTR) on the costs of producing the main concerts on behalf of the Society. £1,113 was contributed related to 2019-20. Related accounting fees are netted from the contribution. ## **BASIS OF PREPARATION** As in 2018-19, the accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis, recognising income when it first becomes receivable and expenditure when a liability for that expenditure first arises. -2- Fulham Symphony Orchestral Society -- Financial Statements Y/E 31 Aug 20 ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUST S OF THE FULHAM SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY ## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act"). The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the - Act), and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## Basis of independent examiner's statement My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **----- Start of picture text -----**

This means that, at the end of each accounting year, GiftAid is receivable on eligible subs and donations paid during the period (less an allowance for benefits gained by Members from tuition). At 31 Aug 2020, £1,878 of Gift Aid was receivable. This amount was successfully claimed in Oct 2020. 2 The society owns a library of music containing several items which are available for hire. Its historic cost (from 1990s, + £250 addition in 2010) is £5,311. It is difficult to obtain a current valuation for the library and, as such (and in line with Charities SORP guidance) no estimate has been made in the accounts. The society also owns a set of music stands which have negligible monetary value and are treated as an expense in the year of acquisition. -5- Fulham Symphony Orchestral Society – Financial Statements Y/E 31 Aug 20 # **Fulham Symphony Orchestral Society** Registered Charity No. 1094899 ## **Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2020** -1- Fulham Symphony Orchestral Society – Financial Statements Y/E 31 Aug 20 ## **REPORT OF THE TREASURER** There were two main factors impacting the accounts of the Society in the year to 31 August 2020.

This means that, at the end of each accounting year, GiftAid is receivable on eligible subs and donations paid during the period (less an allowance for benefits gained by Members from tuition). At 31 Aug 2020, £1,878 of Gift Aid was receivable. This amount was successfully claimed in Oct 2020. 2 The society owns a library of music containing several items which are available for hire. Its historic cost (from 1990s, + £250 addition in 2010) is £5,311. It is difficult to obtain a current valuation for the library and, as such (and in line with Charities SORP guidance) no estimate has been made in the accounts. The society also owns a set of music stands which have negligible monetary value and are treated as an expense in the year of acquisition. -5-
