TRUSTEES' REPORT _ FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
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 £41,193 (2021: £52,041) in donations in the year and generated a further £180 (2021: £5,850) in grant funding and other income. The charity made charitable expenditure of £22,002 (2021: £26,205) in the year.
The resumption of professional activities after the extensive period of Covid related difficulties saw a new energy emerging for the singers eager to return to international stages. Many commented that without the Helping Hand initiatives of the Foundations they may well have left the profession.
The Trustees were committed to continue the grants to : The Royal Opera House for cover awards, Opera Holland Park’s “Opera in Song” series, curated by NZ baritone, Julien Van Mellaerts, as well as continuing the pastoral support offered to those in need through unexpected illness, mental distress, and other hardships. Early 2023 began to show more positive signs of recovery on all fronts.
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 surplus of £28,387 (2021: £32,715). 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 2022
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 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 £394,237 (2021: £365,850) 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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
- 1 Accounting policies
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, a deed of variation dated 17 May 2019 and a deed of variation and restatement dated 3 August 2020. The principal office address is Flat 23B Prince of Wales Mansions, Prince of Wales Drive, London, SW11 4BQ.
- 1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing documents, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 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. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
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.

1 Accounting policies
(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.
1.5 Expenditure
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.
- 1.6 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.
