Trustees’ Annual Report

The Trustees of the Charity present their Annual Report and Accounts for the 12 month period ended 31 August 2025.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of Birmingham Gay Symphony Orchestra (‘BGSO’) are the advancement of the art of music by providing opportunities for people of all sexualities to explore, perform and experience music through musical rehearsals and performances, and to promote diversity and equality through these musical activities.

In the period under review, the charity’s sole activity was the operation of the LGBT orchestra also known as 'Birmingham Gay Symphony Orchestra'. This normally involves rehearsals on a bi-weekly basis, and typically three concerts each year at venues in Birmingham.

BGSO works together with other LGBT groups to promote the interests of the LGBT community.

The trustees have complied with their duty under Section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. In particular, they believe that the public benefit from the charity's work includes:

development of the musical skills and confidence of its players through rehearsals and performances
increased access to the arts for members of the public, particularly, but not exclusively, within the LGBT community and their families and friends, through performances
promoting a positive image of the LGBT community by providing the orchestra as a source of pride, and providing accessible performances to the public
supporting LGBT charities through fundraising at its concerts.

Achievements and Performance

Our 2024/25 season has allowed our new Musical Director Neavan Lobban to settle in and further develop the orchestra.

Our December 2024 concert was our “Deck the Halls” Christmas concert, including selections from Swan Lake and other festive favourites.

Our March concert “Into the Light” pushed the orchestra’s development as an ensemble, as we performed with a soloist, William Hammond, to perform Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto and then the epic 5[th] Symphony by Tchaikovsky

Our summer concert in July 2025 “Carnival of the Animals” allowed us to showcase music with an animal theme, both real and imaginary, as we played excerpts from Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals, as well as more modern pieces including music from the Lion King and How to Train Your Dragon.

Trustees’ Annual Report (continued)

Future Plans

In 2025-26 we will again bring 3 diverse concerts to Birmingham.

Financial Review

The Charity made a small loss in the year. Overall, funds decreased to £16,234 (2024: £16,382). Of these funds, £700 were restricted (2024: £700). Unrestricted funds are £15,534 (2024: £15,682).

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have determined that reserves may be held that are sufficient to meet annual expenses, allowing for potential fluctuations and any projects planned. At the balance sheet date, our free reserves stood at £15,534 (2024: £15,682), representing approximately 34 months of planned expenditure. The Trustees believe that the reserves will help the Charity to adjust to changes in operating costs and to explore opportunities to develop the orchestra.

Going Concern

The Trustees consider that, due to the reserves held, the way in which most expenditure flexes in line with income, and that special projects are undertaken only when funding has been received, it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In doing so, they have considered likely outcomes for at least 12 months from the signing of this report.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and its governing document is the Constitution dated 11 July 2022. The constitution follows the association model.

The Board includes a minimum of 3 trustees, who are elected at the Annual General Meeting by the members. One third of their number must retire by rotation at each AGM and may stand for re-election. No trustees are appointed by external bodies.

The day-to-day management of the orchestra is delegated to the Executive Committee, which includes all Trustees, a Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, plus other posts as are considered necessary from time to time. The three key posts listed above are elected at the AGM by the members; other posts are elected at open meetings of the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee is overseen by the Board of Trustees, which reserves powers to set strategic objectives and budgets, govern the finances of the Charity, set policies and decide on membership of the Charity.

Trustees’ Annual Report (continued)

BGSO is a member of the ‘Making Music’ federation, which provides resources, advice and networking opportunities within the voluntary music sector.

In accordance with the Constitution, the Trustees do not receive remuneration for their office, and no commercial or financial transactions have been made with the Trustees in the period under review.

The Trustees during the year under review, and up to the date the accounts were approved, are listed on page 1.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the Charity and of incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the Charity’s governing document. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
