THE LECONFIELD SINGERS
DIRECTORS' RESOLUTION
PASSED 13th April 2023
IT WAS RESOLVED that the TRUSTEES REPORT for the year 1 September 2021 - 31 August 2022 be approved in the following form and Nick Williams was authorised to sign the same.
1. Structure, governance and management
The Leconfield Singers ("the Choir") is a company limited by guarantee and is registered in England with number 8173769 at Clare Lodge, Petworth Road, Witley, Godalming, Surrey, England, GU8 5LU and is a charity registered with number 1152725.
The Board as at the end period of the report comprised Rachel Townsend, Ruth Thompson, Nick Williams and Arkadii Kostenko.
The Choir governance is documented in its Resolution of Memorandum and/or Articles of Association filed with Companies House. The Choir is managed by the Board (who are also Trustees and are appointed by existing directors from members with requisite experience and willingness to further the aims of the Choir) with the support of a committee selected by members and co-opted by the chair who for the year of report was Rachel Townsend. The Choir is professionally directed and conducted in its music, rehearsal and performance by Graham Wili accompanied by Joanna Kent.
2. Choir Objectives, Activities and Achievements
The objectives remain those for which the Choir was approved by the Charity Commission, being the promotion of the benefits of choral singing of a high standard in the area of Petworth; its activities have been managed accordingly and in normal times include a full programme of weekly rehearsals in each of the three term periods that make up the Choir year plus additional workshops to improve performance and attract new members. Recruitment is by word of mouth and local media; there is no audition requirement and membership has recovered after the pandemic with an average of 80 throughout the financial year.
In the year of report the Choir performed publicly in the UK on three occasions: in the Sacred Heart Church, Petworth in September 2021, in the parish Church of Petworth in December 2021, and in May 2022 they presented Elijah in Chichester Cathedral with a full orchestra. This last concert was seen as a necessary expense in order to boost membership levels and offer something special after the pandemic. The concerts continue to attract large audiences, delivering major performances of classical and sacred music whilst offering the highest quality choral tuition to people of all abilities in the local community. Under Graham Wili’s supervision, the Choir also participated in a self-financing tour to Bilbao in Spain during the Summer of 2022, performing in San Sebastian, Santander and Bilbao itself.
3. Financial
For the year of the report the choir sustained a large loss due mainly to the concert in May. The loss was more than expected due to the need for increased venue space during the pandemic, and attendance issues resulting in increased rehearsal time. Lower attendance also impacted ticket sales, and subscriptions were also less than usual due to the inability to recruit new members during the pandemic, which in turn had an impact on the Gift Aid claim. However the losses were mitigated to
some extent by generous donations from members during the pandemic, careful administration, ticket and advertising sales, and the proceeds of a regular raffle.
At the year end the reserves stood at £13,567 which are held to discharge the anticipated costs against unforeseen shortfalls in expenses: accordingly the Board considers the reserves prudent in the circumstances and confirms that for the year of report it held no funds as custodian for other parties.
Accordingly the Board considers the reserves adequate in the circumstances and confirms that for the year of report it held no funds as custodian for other parties.

2.2 INCOME Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: the charity becomes entitled to the resources; it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless Offsetting required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income Grants and donations recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in Legacies the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the Tax reclaims on donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift donations and gifts and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or performance related services or met the performance related conditions. grants Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be Donated goods exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

| Grants with performance conditions Settlement of insurance claims The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. Governance and support costs Creditors Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Donated services and facilities Support costs Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Income from membership subscriptions Income from interest, royalties and dividends The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Grants payable without performance conditions Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. |

| 2.4 ASSETS These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due. Investments Current asset investments Heritage assets Stocks and work in progress Debtors They are valued at cost. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14. Intangible fixed assets Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments They are valued at cost. They are valued at cost. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 15. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 16. Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. |
