## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 October 2024**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of new trustees**
The band operates through the efforts of a small number of trustees who are mindful of the need to ensure that there is continuity and sustainability. New trustees are chosen from individuals who are deemed to be fit for the purpose of the role and, subject to a successful probation period, are enrolled as full trustees if all parties are in agreement.
The charity is governed by the constitution adopted 4[th] September 2006.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
Our objectives continued to be to study, practise and encourage the enjoyment of brass music in all its forms in order to foster public knowledge and appreciation of such music by means of public performance or otherwise, including the training and education of brass and percussion players, male and female, from all age groups and from all backgrounds.
## **Public benefit**
Trustees confirm that the band has complied with its duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising its powers and duties. The trustees believe that all of the band’s work has public benefit.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees regularly review financial commitments to ensure there are sufficient funds for the band’s operational commitments to be delivered.
## **Review of the accounts for the year**
The trustees have worked very hard to maintain financial support through the period following Covid. The band is registered for Gift Aid and continues to receive refunds from HMRC.
Looking forward to 2024/25:
1. The Band will be performing more concerts and has been invited to represent the UK at the French Open Brass Band Championships.
2. The Band will continue to promote its involvement and encouragement of young people.
3. The Band will continue to encourage the Patrons scheme.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
The band had a steady year considering the inclusion of new players. It had success at the Yorkshire Area championships and took part in the British Open Spring Festival (Grand Shield) at Blackpool.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROTHWELL TEMPERANCE BAND**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2024 which are set out on pages 4 to 5.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
