Our main objective was to keep the members together and protect their physical and mental health. We aimed to provide a safe environment in our Band Room for both musicians and other tenants and invested over £10000 on a new ventilation system. BBE’s guidance was followed at all times and Risk Assessments prepared for all the uses of the Band Room. Our main fund raising comes from our Christmas Busking events which centre around the Trafford Centre and local stores. Following the onset of the pandemic, distinct objectives were not set, although a target of obtaining a surplus of input over spend was made. We invest in our members and only set individual targets. |

This year has been different to all others. During this financial year, significant funds have been secured from government and local grants. The Band wishes to express its thanks to the Salford City Council for rate relief on the buildings. N/A Currently there are no risks to the Charity. However, in the future we face the issues that all traditional voluntary groups have, that of finding new members and persuading young people that it is better to play an instrument than spend time in front of a computer screen. |
