 Contribution made by Volunteers In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commissions guidance on Public Benefit at our Trustees meetings.

Achievements and performance

With the lifting of Covid restrictions we were able to re-start Summary of the main Regional Festivals in November 2021. These were held at achievements of the Oldham, Nottingham, Warwick and Telford. charity during the year

We received a good support from bands. Numbers were 50% below that of pre-covid but bands that took place were glad to be back. As before those bands achieving the higher awards were invited to the National Festival due to be held at the RNCM, Manchester in April 2022.

We were also recipients of an Arts Council Grant to further our work and to support the National Festival costs. This is a three year project to include,

NCBF at Home – a workshop by a specialist mentor at the bands own rehearsal venue, NCBF Youth Ambassadors - to allow a youth platform to input new ideas and feedback into the development of NCBF, NCBF Young Composers – to give opportunities to young composers (under 30 years) to develop skills writing for wind band and/or big bands, NCBF Digital – the opportunity for a band to send a video for a free assessment by an independent mentor.

The focus of our activities remains that of providing a high quality performance venue for bands and players at all ages to instil an on-going benefit to ensure that players continue to play their instruments well into their later life.

NCBF firmly believe that adjudications of bands performances should be adjudicated by adjudicators who specialise in the field of the performance, ie Wind Band or Big Band and use a criteria sheet to gauge the level of performance. There are no winners, just bands who can read the adjudication sheet and use the information to progress in the future.

This benefits all players to develop their self-confidence and social skills leading to life skills.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of NCBF ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 April 2022.

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

NCBF meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. .
