ROTHWELL TEMPERANCE BAND
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 October 2025
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 band has enjoyed a successful year which culminated in representing the UK in the French Brass Band contest in Ambrose. It was awarded first place and presented music to the thousands of listeners. Financially there were additional costs, but the support of the patrons made this possible.
-
Looking forward to 2025/26:
-
The band is attempting to find new rehearsal facilities. This will then lead to advancing training of young people into the brass band movement.
-
The band will continue to encourage the Patrons Scheme.
-
Continue to develop links with local companies, Leeds City Council and other charities.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The memorable winning at the French Open Championship was a major highlight but the band also attained creditable success at the Yorkshire Area Championship and the British Open Spring Festival which was held in Blackpool.
