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.

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).

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'.
