STRATEGIC REpoKr
Flnan¢ial review
Flnance
Thls has been an interestlng and challenglng year for BBE as It contlnues to grow and develop. The banding
landscape, post pandemlc, has lar8ely opened up agaln. This has enabled 8BE to assess the impact of COVID
on the brass band communlty. Overthe past few years, BBE has developed useful buslness experlence as it
has faced the challen8es and complexltles that come with a charlty 8rowin8 at a rapid pace.
A5 BBE looks ahead to 2024125, a major focus has been on bud8etsry and financlal challenges for future
operatlonal c05t and projects. The upllft In ACE fvndln& although extremely welcome, has also brought
wlth it a new level of ftscal responslbllltles and admlnlstratlve challen8es, and BBE staff and trustee5 are
very aware of that, One of these is the upllft In revenue throu8h the dellvery of produtts and servlces by
BBE. Thls has meant that BBE has been VATregistered from Aprll 2023. The maln impact of thls to members
Is an uplift in membershlp fees, wlth the unfortunate consequence that a small number have found it
necessary to leave. Despite thls, membershlp numbers have contlnued to remaln robust,
Investment pollcy and objectlves
No Investment rlsks are taken wlth the finances of the charity. Any surplus funds are Invested in the
charlty's bank account. Any Interest pald on thls ac¢ount is used in the lurtherance ol the charity'5
objertlves.
Reserves poIIcy
The Board annually reviews the requlred reserves for BBE to ensure flnancial stablllty as a golng concern, 35
we contlnue to grow. These are ab501ute reserves whlch will maintsin the buslness durlng challenging times
and help support planned future investment. The levels set are based on guidance from the Charitle5
Commi551on as well as a review of our current spendln8 patterns.
The Trustees are fully aware of the 518nlficance of the support that Art5 Covncll En8land IACEI glves to the
Charlty, whlch has enabled Brass Bands En8land's recent growth In membership and artlvltles. Th15 has
been achieved by Investln8 in an excellent team of paid staff. The Trustees recognlse the Impart that these
employees have on the organlsation and further appreciate that wlthout the current ACE support the
Charlty would not be able to continue their employment. The Trustee5 have therefore adopted a reserves
policy which reflect5 the Impact of any withdrawal of future support 8Sven by ACE.
The calculatlon of the reserves Is therefore based upon the value of Investment in fixed assets plus an
amount held at any time Sn cash or cash equivalents to an estimate of ￿11 staff redundancy costs plus three
months gr055 current payroll costs plus a reserve for fvture office-based costs. The Trustees are confident
that thls will protect the staff from the Immediate impact Should the wlthdrawal of sUPPQrt by ACE occur.
The Trustees further conslder that the Charlty will be able to ¢ontlnue, albelt on a much reduced,
voluntaryi basls, wlth contlnuln8 membershlp support and other Income Streams In the foreseeable futufft.
