Report to Members on Activities on the period from 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2022
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting the following report to members on the activities of Norfolk Camerata (CIO) during the year ending 31 August 2022. The Annual General Meeting is to be held as soon as practicable.
Objects of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation
Norfolk Camerata is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and a Registered Charity (number 1128746).
The Charity’s object is to advance the education of the public in the Performing Arts and Choral Music in all its aspects by the presentation of public concerts and recitals and by such other ways as the trustees shall from time to time determine. The Charity’s principal area of benefit will be those parts of the County of Norfolk, UK, to the east and north of Norwich.
Under the Constitution members elect Trustees from among the membership; they act as Trustees of the Charity.
Trustees of the Charity
At the end of August 2021, the Trustees of the Charity were Mrs Maggie Smyth (Chairman), Mr J. Crispin Clark (Vice Chairman), Mrs Ros Peedle, Mrs Delia Malim Robinson (Registrar), Mrs Rosemary Jackson (Secretary), Mr Andrew Stewart and Mr Gordon Powell (Treasurer). Mr Andrew Stewart resigned effective 31.8.22, and Norfolk Camerata thanked him for his input over his period of office.
Activities during the year
Working through ongoing pandemic, the choir has been able to give 2 concert performances for the public. The first on December 4[th] 2021 at St Botolph’s church, Trunch. The second (delayed by COVID), on May 28[th] 2022 at St James’ Church, Southrepps.
Financial Review (2021/22)
Under the oversight of the Treasurer, Gordon Powell, the Trustees can report that the balance sheet at the end of the year is fairly static showing a small improvement over the previous year. From the
Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) it can be seen that, whilst the year 2020/2021 showed a small deficit of £181.01, the situation is reversed in 2021/22 with a small surplus of income over expenditure of £136.37
Our total income was £4681.29 and expenditure was £4544.92. The closing balance on the Current Account at 31/8/20 was £4534.05 We have a small Reserve Account, currently standing at £1036.96, which we have ring fenced against the possible need to wind up the Charity.
The Charity has experienced a renewed interest following our reopening after the worst of the COVID pandemic. Membership numbers did drop slightly during the pandemic but we are currently slightly up on numbers by the end of the financial year.
The Trustees gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Norfolk Community Foundation from whom a grant of £1000 was received.
Gordon Powell 26/09/2022
Public Benefit
Both the rehearsal programme and the public concerts are believed to satisfy the Charity Commission’s Public Benefit test.
Reserves Policy.
The Trustees aim to hold reserves equal to six months normal expenditure, to provide adequately against the risks of fluctuations in concert income. This target is not currently met.
The attached accounts have been prepared to comply with the Charities Commission requirements. The low income level exempts us from requiring any external validation prior to submission.
On behalf of the Trustees: Rosemary A. Jackson 26.09.22
