Report and Financial Statements

The Field House Foundation
Report of the Trustees for the Period Ended 31" 1)cc¢mberg 2025
The Trustees hereby present their Annual Report together with the Financial Statements of the
Charity for the period ended 31. December, 2025.
The Financial Statements cL)mply viith the Charitieg Act 1993 and the Trust Deed of the Charity.
The Charity's Accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis and therefore fall
outside the scope of the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporttng by
ChaTities (SORP 2005).
Chair's Report
The Charity was set up to create and support opportunities for young perforniing artists in the early
stages of thetr professional career4 as well as presenting a range of musiGal events for the local
community to enjoy and get involved with.
The Charity may enter into wid¢r activities should the Trustees feel that is appropriate.
Overview of 2025
The Charity's lease of the Cooper Hall facility in Somerset lapsed at the of 2024 and the
Trustees therefore had to r￿rienL1te the way it operates.
A new Studio facility was Greated for the Charlty's use in Berkshire so that day workshops and
coaGhing sessions wntinue to be provided. This ¢am¢ into operation in th¢ last quartcr of 2025.
V￿lOuS coaching and perfonnance rehearsals have been undertaken in the new Studio and the
Charity is pleased to report that this will etwble it to continue th¢se activities. However, the new
Studio facility is not suitable for public perforniances and therefore this element of our wo
unfortunately can no longer be undertaken, at least for the time being.
During the year we mad¢ donations to Frome Radio. Pegasus Opera and the Williams-Howard
Prize. Donations were ¢ither by way of cash payments or bursaries for coaching under the
Charity'$ schemes.
Future plans for 2026
We will continue to use the new Studio for coaching and educational purposes. ag well as donate
time and where appropriate funds.
Unfortunat¢ly, we are now unable to offer public perfonnance opportunities, but are exploring
undertaking smaIl-scale master classes in the Stydio, as well as collaborations with other
educationalists and practitioners.

Our purpo8e and acliviti
The objeetives of the charity were origiDally sel up:
To manage musicaI 2nd artistic events and educational activities at Cooper Hall, Somm¢rsei with a
view to".
a) Providing opportunities for ycrt￿8 p¢rfonn¢rs on th¢ brink of their careers to perforn) at
Cooper Hail.
b) Presenting a ran8e of p¢rfotmances at C(w Hall which audiences in the locality would
otherwise not have available to them"
c) Providing artists opporbjnities to focus on prO￿S and developmentsl work on creative
projects in an inspiring environment where new ideas and collaborations can flourish.
d) Provide an environment for a range of musical ¢ducation opportunitie4 including m&ster
Cl￿SeS and workshops.
Other activities that the Trustees feel to b¢ appropriate to the Charity.
However, the facllities at Cooper HaIl are no longer available to the Charity.
Accordingly. we have reorientated the obj¢dives to tske this into accoun( within the frarnework of
the original stated objectives of the ch￿lty, to include:
l. Where posstble, sbaring proc¢5s WO￿ with the public thrcwgh the provislon of Workshops.
master classes and presentations.
2. To promote Education and artist's personal development in music. in particular but not
limited to aspiring prof&ssionaI singers. in such ways as the Trustees think fiL including by
awarthng to such persons bursaries or other fimding to enable them to devdop their
perforniing skills and attaining creative potential.
3. To fither such charitable purpose or purposes as the Trustees in their absolute discretton
shall think fit but in particular through th¢ making of grants and donations, including th¢
donation of Morag McLaren's coachin& mentorship and facilitation of artist's creative
projects.
Our Cu￿ent practical obje£tives are therefo￿ to continue to provide artists opportunities to foGus on
proGes8 and developmental work on c￿ative projects, together with a range of musical education
opportynities including small ￿al¢ master classes and workshops.
These activities are now carried out at the Charity's new Stydio in Berf(shire which is more
accessible and closer to London than Somers¢ enablin8 participants to commut¢ daily.

Achievements and perfomanee
During 2025 we created a new s￿diD for LNJr use in Berkshire and started using the facilities in the
last quarter of 2025. We provided a range of LThching sessions and educational initiatives. Morag
McLaren continued to donate her services as coach, mentor, facilitator, director and workshop
supervisoi to the Charity.
During the year we made donations to Frome Radio. Pegasus Opera and the Williams-Howard
Prize.

Plans for future period
Due to the change in circumstances. the Charity lost the use of the C(K)per Hall facility in Somerget
and h&8 relocated its op¢rations to Berkshire Whe￿ it now has the use of a smaller Stydio.
We plan to continue to provide a wide range of WOTkshops. coaching and educational activitieg and
collaborations during 2026 using our new Studio, but will no longer be able to offer public
perfoman¢es.
The focus is now on smaller-scale activities due to the sma]ler facilities to be used by the Charity.
Nevertheless. the new Studio's closer proximity to London makes the facilities accessible to a wide
range of participants.
Morag McLaren has also initiated opportunities to team lead educational opportunities in
collaboration wtth appropriate professionals.
W¢ are also exploring the idea of making our Stydio space available to a range of complimentary
practices that will extend the nature of the educational faculties on offer to participating artists.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Field House Foundation (fornierly
The Cooper Hall Foundation)
I hereby report on the Financial Statements of the Trust for the period ended 3 1st December,
2025 in the Report and Financial Statements period ended 31 St December, 2025 document.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustee and Examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's
Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the charities
Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of
any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair view" and the Report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination. No matter has come to my attention:
11
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 201 l Act. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act.
have not been met. or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the accounts to be reached.
