THE KIRI TE KANAWA FOUNDATION (UK)

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".

Objectives and activities

Policies and objectives

The principal objects of the charity are to assist and train singers and musicians by way of scholarships or other means and to provide training, instruction and master classes for singers and musicians.

Activities for achieving objectives

The charity receives donations from organisations and members of the public, as well as funds raised through various fundraising events and initiatives. These funds are principally invested in grants and scholarships to individuals and other charitable activities connected with the charity’s principal objectives.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Review of activities

The charity received £99,312 (2019: £42,023) in donations in the year and generated a further £7,500 (2019: ENil) in grant funding. The charity made charitable expenditure of £132,241 (2019: £61,330) in the year.

2020 was dominated by the global pandemic — which destroyed the incomes of performing artists including the incomes of the singers supported by both this Foundation and the incomes of those supported by the New Zealand Foundation. We formed a joint subcommittee with the New Zealand Foundation to coordinate the response and share the cost of our response to the pandemic.

We were delighted that between the two foundations we able to provide substantial and timely support to over 20 singers in the early stages of their professional careers and whose incomes were largely wiped out by the pandemic. The Foundation also continued its programme of informal pastoral care for singers who have come to London to further their training and careers. The effects of both foundations were hugely appreciated by the singers involved.

Other strands of work during the year included:

Financial review

The Statement of Financial Activities on page 5 shows the incoming resources and resources expended during the year. The net movement in funds resulted in a deficit of £29,370 (2019: deficit of £20,059). The financial position of the Trust is shown on page 7.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Reserves policy

The Trustees’ intention is to be in a position to be able to fund exceptional singers and projects when these are identified, even if this requires funding in excess of the income in a particular year and therefore results in a need to draw on reserves. The Trustees believe that the current environment of low interest rates makes it more likely that there might be a need to draw on reserves for such purposes. The Trustees also seek to maintain a level of unrestricted funds so that, should the Trust ever cease to function, funds are at a level sufficient to be able to fund an orderly wind down of the Trust including the ongoing funding of singers who are at that time receiving support from the Trust.

At the year end the Trust had reserves of £333,135 (2019: £362,505) and the Trustees consider this to be an appropriate level of reserves.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

Constitution

The charity is registered with the Charity Commissioners of England and Wales (No. 1098213) and constituted by Deed of Trust dated 8 April 2003 as amended by subsequent resolutions, a deed of variation dated 17 May 2019 and a deed of variation and restatement dated 3 August 2020. The aim of 2020 deed was to more closely align the charity's governance arrangements with the provisions in the Charity Commission's model deed. There have been no changes in the objectives since the last annual report.

The Charity has complied with the public benefit objective in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011. In the event of the charity being wound up, any surplus assets remaining after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities will be transferred to other charitable institutions at the Trustees’ discretion.

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Chair

Chris Welch, Deputy Chair and Treasurer Neil Grainger

(Resigned 22 December 2020)

Gary Matthewman Gillian Newson

Nicholas Payne Rachel Pilard (formerly Thomas) Fiona Rose

Andrew Robinson

Method of appointment or election of Trustees

The Charity is managed by its Trustees who all share responsibility for its management. The Trustees were appointed by Dame Kiri in terms of clause 10 of the 2003 Trust Deed.

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are appointed under the terms of the Trust Deed. Whenever the number of Trustees falls below three, an appointment shall be made as soon as practicable in order to increase the number of Trustees to at least three.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees

The Trustees are satisfied that they have put in place satisfactory procedures concerning the proper governance and management and decision making of the charity, including the induction and training of Trustees.

THE KIRI TE KANAWA FOUNDATION (UK) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Charity information

The Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation (UK) is registered with the Charity Commissioners of England and Wales (No. 1098213) and constituted by Deed of Trust dated 8 April 2003 as amended by subsequent resolutions. The principal office address is Flat 23B Prince of Wales Mansions, Prince of Wales Drive, London, SW11 4BQ.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

THE KIRI TE KANAWA FOUNDATION (UK)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

(Continued)

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. Charitable activities are costs incurred on the charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Steinway Grand Piano

Remaining value being depreciated over 10 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
