THE LECONFIELD SINGERS

DIRECTORS' RESOLUTION

PASSED 10th March 2025

IT WAS RESOLVED that the TRUSTEES REPORT for the year 1 September 2023 - 31 August 2024 be approved in the following form and Shelagh Morgan 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 Candlemakers 4 Churchwood, Fittleworth, Pulborough, England, RH20 1HP and is a charity registered with number 1152725.

The Board as at the end period of the report comprised Elizabeth Stedall, Ruth Thompson, and Shelagh Morgan.

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 slightly increased with an average of 82 throughout the financial year.

In the year of report the Choir performed publicly in the UK on three occasions: in the parish Church of Petworth in September and December 2023, and in May 2024 they presented Fauré’s Requiem in Arundel Cathedral with professional soloists and a full orchestra. 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 in Portugal, based in Porto during the Summer of 2024, performing Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater in Porto, Braga and Viano Do Castelo.

3. Financial

For the year of the report the choir made a healthy surplus, due in part to the generosity of its members in donating surplus funds after the tour. In addition, the choir held several fundraising events which helped to develop members’ skills in singing as well as other creative activities. This included a ‘Come & Sing’ event for The Armed Man by Karl Jenkins, where the local community are invited to learn the work in a day and finish off by performing it to a small collection of friends and family. The choir also raised funds by encouraging would-be soloists amongst their members to learn

and perform solos in an informal concert after undergoing teaching provided by the Musical Director, Graham Wili.

The overall surplus was therefore more than expected due to continued strong membership, fundraising and donations.

By the year end the reserves had increased by £5,853 and stood at £22,648, which put choir funds back to pre-pandemic levels. This level of reserves is deemed as required in order to both guard against unforeseen shortfalls and expenses but also to give the choir the option of putting on larger concerts.

Accordingly the Board considers the reserves prudent and adequate in the circumstances and confirms that for the year of report it held no funds as custodian for other parties.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Grants with performance conditions 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. 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 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 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. 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 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.
