## **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:
1. The band is attempting to find new rehearsal facilities. This will then lead to advancing training of young people into the brass band movement.
2. The band will continue to encourage the Patrons Scheme.
3. 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.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on ……………………………and signed on its behalf by:

**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 2025 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.
