Pemberton Old Wigan DW Band AGM Financial Report 2024-25

Total income, including bar income, for this year is £39.6k v last year of £52.9k, a decrease of £13.3k.

Fundraising includes £2.8k from Go Fund Me, and £2.6k from carolling. The bar made a profit of £2.3k, however this may be skewed due to not having full figures available for cash takings, or expenditure. Walks and concerts generated similar income of £11.4k this year v £11.6k last year.

Total expenditure for this year is £63.2k v last year of £64.1k.

Contest costs of £15.1k include the costs for the A Band to attend the National Finals, however there were fundraising activities that generated income to offset some of this cost which is recorded elsewhere in the accounts.

Overheads decreased by £0.7k from last year to £9.7k as there were no major repairs to the bandroom but utilities costs increased by £1.0k.

Band charges decreased by £8.1k to £15.7k this year. Conductor costs decreased by £3.6k, instrument repairs decreased by £1.8k and uniform costs decreased by £1.8k.

Overall in the year, the organisation has expenditure of £23.6k greater than the income brought in.

Responsibilities and As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the basis of report accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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 I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have examiner's statement come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.
