NORTH NORFOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity was established by a Declaration of Trust dated 17 March 2009 and was entered on the Central Register of Charities under Number 1128730 on 23 March 2009.

The Trustees serving during the year ended 31 October 2022, were as follows:

Mr Simon Rowland-Jones Mr Barry Cheeseman Mr Michael Holley

New Trustees, if required, are recruited informally on the basis of their related experience and their interest in the work of the Charity. Nominations are approved and appointed by the other Trustees and briefed accordingly.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity’s objectives are to advance, encourage, develop and maintain public education, in appreciation and involvement in classical music, by promoting a festival of public concerts for public benefit. Furthermore, the Charity seeks to advance arts, especially classical music, by the provision of a public festival of music and lectures in North Norfolk.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The 2022 Festival ran for one week and twelve concerts were given. There was a concert every evening and on four days there was an afternoon concert at 4pm in addition to the nightly concert at 7pm.

Shortening the length of The Festival has several benefits – attendance at each concert was higher than usual and our ageing team of volunteers found it much easier. It also encouraged the audience to attend more performances over a shorter period, which added an exciting of sense of enjoyment and buzz to all the concerts.

This year the Vicar of St Mary’s and the volunteers and Church Wardens took full responsibility for the layout in the church. This was done mainly to control the capacity, but an added benefit was that the church looked very well organised and orderly which added to the sense of occasion every night.

Despite the shorter duration, we were still able to donate £3,000 to St Mary’s. Furthermore, the Church earned increased additional revenue from the hire of cushions as they doubled the cushion hire fee from 50p to £1! The audience did not seem to object. The combined total represents the largest source of outside income for the church, making NNMF the church’s most valued donor.

The Festival got off to a wonderful start with a concert marking the 150th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Vaughan Williams and set the artistic bench mark for the next eleven concerts. We were also particularly happy to be able to bring pianist Alim Beisembayev, the winner of the 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition, to NNMF so soon after making such an impact on the musical world.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS OF NORTH NORFOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL

I report to the trustees on the examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 October 2022 which are set out on pages 1 to 3.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the Charity 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 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 Examiners’ 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:

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.
