Maggini Quartet Charitable Fund Annual Report
The Trustees present their Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Objectives and activities; Achievements and performance
This year the charity continued to carry out its core purpose which is the advancement of classical chamber music, primarily through supporting live performances and educational activities. This includes the
stewardship of funds donated in support of the work of classical musicians, including but not limited to the Maggini Quartet.
This year’s principal activities included:
-
supporting the Bandstand Chamber Music series, a new classical performance series taking place in Battersea Park, London, in the month of September. This series featured four string quartets over four evenings. Concerts were given free of charge to the public, and provided both important work for musicians affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and a welcome return to live performance for concert goers in London;
-
supporting the Spotlight Chamber Music series, another new performance series taking place initially at St John’s, Waterloo, and featuring both chamber groups and individual soloists.
The Trustees are in particular grateful to Anthony Friend for managing the activities above.
The Trustees have had consideration of their duty to ensure public benefit throughout the year and when making decisions about how to use the charity’s funds and status. This includes consideration of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. They consider that the provision of classical music to the public at large, and the support given to a wide range of classical musicians this year during the pandemic, adequately fulfil the charity’s purposes as set out in its governing documents.
Financial review
The charity began the year with reserves of £31,141. Performance fees and other expenditures in the year totalled £39,585. These costs were met through donations and ticket sales to a value of £36,359, and by drawing down on funds to a value of £3,226. This is in keeping with the Trustees’ financial strategy to largely spend down any funds held, recognising that the charity has no ongoing running costs or obligations for which to set aside reserves. The Trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.
Governance, reference details, etc.
The charity has three Trustees (2020: 3) and employs no staff. Book-keeping is performed by Skillframe Ltd. The Trustees meet from time to time to discuss planned activities. The company number, address and charity registration number are set out elsewhere in these accounts. The charity does not hold funds as a custodian trustee for any third parties.
Future plans
The Trustees plan to continue with similar activities to those outlined above in the forthcoming year.
